Pathing/JASS Question

[hobo218]

2 Questions-

(1)On my pathing in my TD, the units have really buggy movement. they'll be going, then stop, then wait for a couple seconds, then go again. anyone know how to fix this?...and

(2)I have a creator kick (where if im playin and im not red, i can turn off admin kick and put on creator kick so i have the "admin" powers) and when i was making the triggers, someone mentioned that one JASS trigger would work for it instead of what i have (10 different GUI Triggers)

thx ahed of time-

1 - Use (Order (Last created unit) to Right-Click to <EndRegion>) instead of 'Unit enters region' triggers, that makes them use group clustering (They wait for others to catch up, then move again).

2 - A simple trigger where you type -Boot as a substring, check the slot for player 1. Then check if the creator is in game. If the creator is in and triggering player = player 1 and player 1 not equal to the creator than do nothing. etc etc.... Use substrings to determine who is booted.

thx, ill work on that trigger in a second, but the last created unit thing?...do i just use that for the spawn regions and then use the if unit enters region for the others?...or do i use the last created unit for all?

1 can also be caused by having too much units. The Blizzard pathing engine just puts every unit in a queue. If there are too many units, they will stay in that queue for a quite long time. Every time something blocks the path they just got from the pathing engine (for example an other unit or a newly built tower), they request a new pathing. If many, many units (more than 100) do this at the same time, the queue will get so big that certain units will just stop until they get new a new pathing.

oh, ok, that makes sense. thx for the explanation.

as for the creator kick thing, i got it working and here's my final trigger.
