Moving Unit to it's past.

[arcano]

Moving an unit to a point it's easy, but how can i store where the unit was?

 

[Squishy]

Create a point variable and set the variable to the postion of the unit before moving it.

 

[arcano]

And change it everytime the unit moves? easy, but how about memory leaks?

 

[Squishy]

You can use custom text to remove the point so it won't leak. But you can only remove it after you have finished using it for whatever you need. Then you can use it again later if you need to.

Thx man. Let's see if this works.

Edit: Found one problem, i would need to move unit to where it was 10 seconds ago.

 

[Squishy]

How is that a problem? Just set the point variable when you need it, then 10 seconds later, move the unit to the point variable and remove the point variable.

You mean like this squishy?

Event
 A Unit casts an ability
Condition
 Ability being cast equal to [COLOR="Red"]( Your Ability )[/COLOR]
Action
 Wait = 10.00 seconds 
 Set [COLOR="Red"]Temp_Point[/COLOR] = Position of Casting Unit
 Unit - Move Casting Unit instantly to Temp_Point.
 Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point)

What about the casting unit's life? Will it be same before he cast the spell?

 

[Squishy]

Something like that, but you would want to set the point variable before the wait. Also, this wouldn't be MUI.

Moving Unit to it's past.

Do you mean like the Backtrack spell in DotA? Jass code here. Not sure about GUI though...

You need to keep an array of positions.

 

[darkbeer]

i guess he means more like the weaver ulti thing in dota, which sets her position to where she was 10 secs ago.

do as TheDamien said, create a periodic timer and store all positions in an array, then when she casts, move her to the position 10 secs ago.
