Pushing

[SrL04]

Hello, it's been awhile since I've been here

Ok let's get to the point, I'm making a trigger so that whenever a unit comes within like 75 radius of the box (a crate) then it will be pushed back a little bit. Like this, say you right click on the box right? The unit should move towards the box but when it gets to close it gets pushed back. I don't want the unit to stop after he gets pushed back, I want him to keep moving (even though he will keep moving backwards until he's 75 away from the box). I'm sure there is a way of doing this, but I just don't know how >< I've been wondering this for awhile now and I'd love to get some help Thank you in advance!

Do you mean something like this?

Push
    Events
        Unit - A unit comes within 75.00 of No unit
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Move No unit instantly to ((Position of No unit) offset by 2.00 towards ((Facing of Triggering unit) - 180.00) degrees), facing (Facing of No unit) degrees

Note: It's not leak-free.

But that only works one time, how can I make it so that it is every 0.01 seconds?

you can add a command of

if the distance is still under my amount
run this trigger again

the trigger of corleone works like following:

a unit comes within range of unit. then push it back 10 times - what would the unit make being outside of the 75-range again. now the unit can either go anywhere else, but when it comes again within range... you know what i mean?

hmm

Variables

Loc, point, array 1
X, real, no array
Select, unit group, no array

Event
   - Every 0.75 seconds
Conditions
Actions
   - set Loc[0] = position of _box_
   - set Select = units in range of 500 of _box_
   - pick every unit in units in select and do actions
       loop
        - set Loc[1] = position of picked unit
        set X = distance between Loc[1] and Loc[0]
        if X less than or equal to 74
        then - set Loc[2] = Loc[0] offset by 75 - X towards facing of picked unit - 180
           - move instantly _box_ to Loc[2]
           - call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc[2])
        - call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc[1])
    - call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc[0])
    - call DestroyGroup(udg_Select)

Honestly, I prefer to load my "heroes" into an array, and refer to them with a Integer A / B statement, (cus its less laggy (unit groups always make lag))

(or use facing of _box_)

hope that works

> unit groups always make lag

That statement is way too general to hold...


I would recommend not to move the unit based on its facing.
Instead, move it towards angle from position of box to position of unit.

Well, In my maze maker, after cleaning all my leaks, I had plenty of lag from using unit groups (only a few) then after I changed to using Integer A loops, everything worked great... without lag, so my personal opinion is Unit Groups Make Lag, (specially when leaky)

 

[SrL04]

Yes, moving it towards angle from position of box to position of unit is what I had planned. Sadly, my WE keeps crashing everytime I save a map, or change something and test the map for some reason, so I'm re-installing it

 

[Mythic Fr0st]

That could be the map, try another one
