Editor bug? Gradually turning.

[OneBadPsycho]

Hello.

I have this trigger, which should "repel" or bounce an object moving into it:

Wall1
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Bound 1 <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Entering unit) is in SpellUg) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set OLoc = (Position of (Entering unit))
        Set OAngle = (Facing of (Entering unit))
        Unit - Move (Entering unit) instantly to OLoc, facing (OAngle + (2.00 x (180.00 - OAngle))) degrees
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_OLoc)

My problem is, whenever the unit hits the region/wall its placed on, it gradually bounces off, like this:

instead of doing this:

(Got the math equation!)

I tried to make a trigger to test it, and it made the unit change facing angle gradually:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Make (Picked unit) face 90.00 over 0.00 seconds

So how can I fix this? How can I make the unit change facing angle instantly?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The only way I know is to remove the unit from the game, and create a new one with the new facing angle. Not a very good option, I know.

Unit - Make (Picked unit) face 90.00 over 0.00 seconds

This action and all others that can change a unit's facing depends on the unit's turn speed for the actual turning.

Why didn't you say that before?
I made a trigger, which froze my War3 TFT:

Wall TEST
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Bound 1 <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Entering unit) is in SpellUg) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set OLoc = (Position of (Entering unit))
        Set OAngle = (Facing of (Entering unit))
        Unit Group - Remove (Entering unit) from SpellUg
        Unit - Remove (Entering unit) from the game
        Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) for (Owner of (Entering unit)) at OLoc facing (OAngle x (2.00 x (180.00 - OAngle))) degrees
        Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to SpellUg
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_OLoc)

EDIT: Garr, It doesn't work
-Any1 else got some suggestions?

Seems normal.
You're creating a unit in a region that you wait for being entered. Endless loop...

Goddamnit! You're right!
-Why didnt I see that?

but what should I do? XD

Well, you could turn off the trigger before creating the unit, and turning it back on right after

Seems like overkill, but doing this works for me. Probably not the best way, but it works.
Takes two triggers
First, the one you already had but slightly changed(Can't refer to Entering Unit after it's removed).

Wall TEST
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Bound 1 <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Entering unit) is in SpellUg) Equal to (==) True
    Actions
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        Set Oloc = (Position of (Entering unit))
        Set Oangle = (Facing of (Entering unit))
        Set Otype = (Unit-type of (Entering unit))
        Set Oplayer = (Owner of (Entering unit))
        Unit - Remove (Entering unit) from the game
        Unit - Create 1 Otype for Oplayer at Oloc facing [B](Oangle x (2.00 x (180.00 - Oangle))) [/B]degrees
        Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to SpellUg
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Oloc)

So we turn it off, but if we add a Turn On This Trigger, the game freezes. This is the overkill part, at least it seems like that to me: We use a periodic trigger to check if it's off. If it is off, we turn it on.

Turn on
    Events
        Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
    Conditions
        (Wall TEST <gen> is on) Equal to (==) False
    Actions
        Trigger - Turn on Wall TEST <gen>

That works. However, you might want to recheck the angle formula. I believe I got the same as yours, and it doesn't always work how your picture shows it should.
