Pathing Problem

[Drunken_God]

Ive tried to make an arrow key movement system with move instantly action but if i now walk against a non pathable object like walls it moves very fast and that doesnt look good nor is good
thats why i tried to create a unit and check if the unit is at the same point as my other unit but it doesnt work
my walker gets always damage

try making the dummy a flying unit, maybe its the dummy's collision thats causing a problem

slightly off-topic: also, did i give you that code, because its almost exactly the same as the code i have in a demo map (variable names are exactly the same ^^)

But if the unit is flying then it could be placed on cliffs too and thats what im trying to prevent


PS:shit
you got me
but firstly i tried it to make it by myself but my unit didnt play its animation so i searched

 

[Flare]

if you have NewGen, you could use AndrewGosu's IsPositionPathable function. it should do the trick

 

[Drunken_God]

why i need NewGen WE for that?

 

[Flare]

i think it requires newgen, im not sure. ask in the thread, its in tutorials and resources ^^

 

[Terrabull]

That snipped does not require newgen.

sry didnt see i bumped already today

bump
i tried it in another map
the footmans have got the ghost ability(they can stand in each other)

            If - Conditions
                (X of (Position of (Last created unit))) Not equal to (X of (Position of Footman 0001 <gen>))
                (Y of (Position of Footman 0001 <gen>)) Not equal to (Y of (Position of (Last created unit)))
            Then - Actions
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: No, different spots.
            Else - Actions
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: Yes, same spot.

if i press now ESC (before moving the footy) it say Yes but if i move my footman now it says no and if the footman stands still it says no, too

well, considering that the point formed with those x-y coordinates would probably be impossible to return to (unless by accident), moving your unit would make it nearly impossible to return the unit to the original place?

try making a trigger that instantly moves one unit to the other units position, and see what happens

 

[Drunken_God]

ive made an screenie:
the upper pic is the move instantly part
and the 2 others are what happened after using my Unititled Trigger 001

 

[Drunken_God]

now it works i just move my unit instantly to that point check if the point is not the same point as the target point and then do damage to him and move him instantly back to the previous point
