Moving units

[tain]

ok, hi,
i hate sliding. i hate canceling animation and not be able to just set X,Y,Z properties of unit and animation state.

i am playing in Galaxy for 7 hours straight and i think i will go crazy.
I need help.

1. How can i order units to move (include/exclude pathfinding algorithm)
2. how can i move unit to Point without canceling animation

i am doing great in other aspects of the engine, i hope i will be able to post my success today or tomorrow.

Thanks everyone.

This is one of the amazing GUI confusingness Galaxy Editor gave us.

New Action > "Issue Order"

Select your order in the list of actions of your function/trigger/whatever.

At the box below that, you should see something like:

• Issue Order
  • Unit: Triggering Unit
  • Order: Order With No Target
    • Ability Command: (No Value)
  • Queue: Replace Existing Orders

Doubleclick "Order With No Target" and change it to "Order Targetting Point".

Now you can just put in "Move" as an ability and desginate a target point properly.

wow. thanks.

how about these Actors. Has anyone tried building walking character solely with them?

EDIT: This is what i did. its a racing game use WASD or Arrows to move.

LOL thats a fun racing game....

are you gonna develope this further?

make it so when you hit space bar, it gives it a speed boost

and make some ramps like excitebike lol

Hahah, that's awesome. I like how it gets when you ride on the bumpy surface.

Btw, you can still highlight the car and move it with the mouse.

i want to add siege tanks that shoot at you on certain parts of the race track

and SCV's that act as your 'pit crew' so you can pull in and get new tires / repairs.

Well its gonna be lots of these kind of games,
i just did this for testing stuff first time i opened my editor yesterday.

I am actually creating a real 3d racing game (not in Galaxy) for a few weeks already. But when i saw what i could do in just few hours in Galaxy. I WAS LIKE :banghead::banghead:

I just love Galaxy, and you should too :thup:

Btw, if anyone can find out how to enable/disable pathfinding on units Move Order it would be great.
I just know it can be done, but i don't know how.
