How to check if unit reach destination

I'm creating and sending Locust units (so they aren't selectable) to a point (with move to event) when someone cast an ability.
How can I check if units arrived at their destination ? It seems I can't select them with 'Is issued on order with no target'

BTW: how can I make units unselectable with collision radius?

You can't select them with that command because they have locust.
In fact to my knowledge you can't select them in any way when they have locust.

Ok , now I'm creating units (not locust units) for brown player and change color to player color that cast that ability , so how can I select them now when they reach at their destination ?

I believe you can add them to a unit group prior to adding locust, and then add locust, and then have a periodic trigger that goes through the unit group and checks where all the units are, and then once you find that a unit has reached your destination, you can order it to do something else

Your answer is a bit vague to me , and I can't use unit groups because I can send lots of units (I remember unit groups have a low unit limit)

and how can I loop all units to see they are on the right spot , or if they are doing nothing ?

You can add them to a unit group. Once a unit enter a region owned by a specific player add them to you unit group.

That might work.

Like I sad unit groups have a limit (something small like 18-24 units per group). Anyway thanks , I find another way of doing this ... order units to attack what they find at that place and then I can select attacking units and do whatever I want with them .

But I have another quick question . Can I make units wait for 1 second before they will go to attack?

Unit groups with a limit? I have never heard of that thus I Im pretty sure you are incorrect.

Yes you can add a wait, but waits are bad business all in all.

the limit of a unit group is way more than 15-20, I believe it's 8192, but it should be sufficient unless you really have a TON of units

what do you mean by wait 1 second, like disable their attack for a second while enabling movement? have them move for 1 second and then get an order to attack/attack-move?

Code:
Distance between (Position of (LocustUnit)) and (Target point of ability being cast) Equal to 0.00
This?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
