Point Variables

[-OverpoweR-]

Hellow fellas, i am curious, if i store Position of [Hero] in a Point Variable, than when i need to, Order Unit to go to [Stored Point Variable] will the Unit go Wherever the Position of [Hero] Currently IS, or where it was when the variable got created? , Uhm i think i made it look like a lot more troublesome than it looks but please,feel free to ask anything that might make this more clear for you to answer :thup:

PS. Ok it doesnt work, i tried it ,eitherway, can you look at this trigger and tell me if Anything is Wrong,or not efficient or whatsoever to complete its function, so, i need Knight, to go Footmans position,no matter where he is on the map , and when he reaches within 200 radius of Footman,he'll stop.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set FootmanPoint = (Position of Footman)
    • Unit - Order Knight 0001 <gen> to Move To FootmanPoint
    • Set KnightPoint = (Position of Knight)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Distance between (Position of Footman) and (Position of Knight)) Less than or equal to 200.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

PPS. The Trigger does execute exatly as i want, but since im a newbie, i dont know if there are ... Leaks or whatsoever, something that might mess up something in the map gameplay , never took the time to look into Leaks,and how to clean em up.

1) you leak 2 points....you remove them with adding this line for each point you store (its a custom script): call RemovePosition(udg_VariableName)

2) why not giving the knight infinite sight range and order it to follow once? would be easier and less laggy. and you could just make a trigger to check whether the knight is in range of the unit.

The Follow order gets Buggy, the unit ordered to Follow sometimes Return in middle of the way,and sometimes it doesnt, i never figured out why, and tbh i was getting to frustrated trying to find the solution, so i'd rather avoid that method , eitherway, thanks a Bunch for the Custom Script :thup:

You had all the actions you needed (minus the leak-fixing), you just need to order them differently. Also, this isn't really a trigger that you want to turn off as there is no good way to turn it back on. Here's a version that I whipped up real quick and it seems to work fine.

• Follow
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set FootPoint = (Position of Footman 0000 <gen>)
    • Set KnightPoint = (Position of Knight 0001 <gen>)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Distance between (Position of Footman 0000 <gen>) and (Position of Knight 0001 <gen>)) Greater than 200.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order Knight 0001 <gen> to Move To FootPoint
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_FootPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_KnightPoint)

(Also, it's RemoveLocation not RemovePosition.)

oh thanks Xan...my fault...sure it is RemoveLocation

Try some of the fields in Gameplay Constants, like Follow Range - Units.

Eh damn you Happy and i was wondering why did pjass give me an error when i tried to save the game , thanks Xan, as Trigger Turn Off,its more of a habbit of mine ,i like to turn off the triger after its execution,and than turn it on whenever i need it, this is only the Ordering Trigger, as i have another Trigger that Fires this Trigger so its all good
