How to make an instant follow

[Prediter[BuB]

I'm trying to make a spell mui. The spell calls for a dummy unit that holds the auras for the hero to constantly be on top of him. So since there are two different triggers (The start and the one that moves the dummy) How to I make this MUI. Currently it works but if you cast it with a new hero the dummy for the old one stops following so the new dummy can.

post your code that makes everything easier.

Try it like this.

EDITED: Edited the codes. Turned out really bad just now.

 

[Prediter[BuB]

It takes me straight to the menu when the triggers are on. Also how can units be in AsTimerGroup when the triggers dont add anything to it? Can you post your test map?

 

[Gtam]

Just order the dumys to patrol on the hero and the dumy must hav 522 ms

 

[Ayanami]

ASTimerGroup meant to be Grp. Changed it in the previous post.

 

[Prediter[BuB]

The dummy still isnt following the caster. can you upload your map please? also triggers cant make the unit patrol follow another unit.

 

[Gtam]

Did u make another trig wher u set customvalue to 0

 

[Ayanami]

I edited this line.

• Set CasterLoc[TempInt] = (Position of (Triggering unit))

to this

• Set CasterLoc[TempInt] = (Position of Caster[TempInt])

My bad =p

            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasterPos[TempInt])

 

[Ayanami]

Like I said 2 posts ago, there lies the answer =p

 

[Prediter[BuB]

Ok

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasterPos[TempInt])

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasterLoc[CustomValue])

causes the game to go straight to main menu.

 

[Ayanami]

Straight to main menu? o.o Hmm try disable the triggers and start the game then. If it works, it's the trigger's prob.

 

[Gtam]

U cant remove it like that

 

[Ayanami]

Ok

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasterPos[TempInt])

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasterLoc[CustomValue])

causes the game to go straight to main menu.

Ahh, like this.

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasterPos[udg_TempInt]

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CasterLoc[udg_CustomValue])

Perfect! +rep good sir
