Moving a Dummy with triggers.(abit of a noob question)

[xigon]

Well, how do we move a dummy with triggers.
This is it:

ParasiteLance
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Parasite Lance
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Parasite (DumyCaster) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing (Facing of (Casting unit)) degrees

now how do i make it move 400 units away with the trajectory being a strait line starting from the caster and his facing angle.

I know this a noob question but hey dont we all start as one?

Thx anyway.

In that trigger make sure to store the caster and dummy to a variable, and then turn on this trigger:

Events
-Every .05 seconds
Conditions
Actions
-Move Dummy instantly to Position of (Dummyvariable) offset by 10 towards (Angle of castervariable) (this is under polar offset or something similar)


In your trigger add the actions
-Wait(duration of spell here) seconds
-Turn off (the trigger i wrote)

EDIT: you will need to set the points to variables in order to destroy them and prevent memory leaks

ur trigger aint working.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

the dummy does follow the facing angle of the caster but doesnt move, just turns.

here is what both triggers look like now:

ParasiteLance
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Parasite Lance
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Parasite (DumyCaster) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing (Facing of (Casting unit)) degrees
Set ParasiteCaster = (Casting unit)
Set ParasiteDummy = (Last created unit)

ParasiteMove
Events
Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Move ParasiteDummy instantly to ((Position of ParasiteDummy) offset by 10.00 towards (Facing of ParasiteCaster) degrees), facing (Position of ParasiteCaster)

what am i doing wrong?:banghead::banghead::banghead:

try that if that doesn't work i dunno Plus how far did you walk away
The Order part is free handed there is such a thing in gui

Instead of using Finishes casting an ability use Starts the effect of an ability.

Also, Make sure you set the casting unit as your very first action. Setting the last created unit into a variable should always be used right after you've created the unit to prevent any problems.

If it still doesn't work, something else is wrong.

Good luck
