Issue point order by ID

[kingkwong92]

Hi!!
So far I've beem using:
Custom script: call IssuePointOrderById(udg_Cast_unit,852600,GetLocationX(udg_Temp_point),GetLocationY(udg_Temp_point))

This makes my unit use channel at Temp_point but it seems to only be targeting the centre of the map. I don't know anything about Jass so I can't really see where the problem is here.

You have set an Variable called Temp_Point to the location you want the spell to be casted at? Just checking.

 

[kingkwong92]

Yea. I have set temp_point and I tested by creating a special effect at the point and it works but the ability is cast into the centre of the map.

Can you provide the complete trigger please? With only that single line of code it is hard to find the mistake.

I've already tried finding out where the problem is and I've narrowed it down to that single line. I don't really know Jass and I modified it from a line that I copied from somewhere else. So thats why I think that line is the problem.

Change udg_Temp_point_2 to udg_Temp_Loc_2.

Looks like you're using a different variable than where you copied that code from.
