Tele Trigger

[FMAlchemist]

Well, i wanted to make a tirgger, so when u step on a circle of power, and cast ur spell "action" u get teleported to another circle of power, vice versa.

here r my 2 triggers.

School main 2 Gate
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Action
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(school main 2 gate <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
Then - Actions
Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of gate 2 school main <gen>)
Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to (Center of gate 2 school main <gen>) over 0.00 seconds
Else - Actions
Do nothing

Gate 2 School main
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Action
Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(gate 2 school main <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
Then - Actions
Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of school main 2 gate <gen>)
Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to (Center of school main 2 gate <gen>) over 0.00 seconds
Else - Actions
Do nothing

wellt the problem is, that only 1 of them works poroperly. eveyrtime i remake one, the first one i make glitches up, and just moves my unit to where its standing basicly.

like going from point A -> B i can but when i try to go from point B->A it just teleports me to point B...

plz help. is there a better triggering for this?

put your if/then/else conditions into the normal conditions and remove "do Nothing" (it does nothing

yeahh, ive tried this, putting the

(gate 2 school main <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True

into the normal conditioning, it does the same thing, :S its really confusing me out. cuz to me, that trigger should work, and it shouldnt tele me from point B -> B . seeing as there both identical, with swapped around regions.

and only one works.. if i get rid of 1 trigger, the other trigger works fine, but if i put the other trigger back in, it doesnt work at all.. wth...

The units stands on B, casts Action, trigger 2 is run and because the unit is on B, it is moved to the center of A.

A micro-moment later, trigger 1 is run and since you moved the casting unit to the center of A in the trigger 2, trigger 1 moves the unit back to the center of B. So the unit moves from B to the center of A, then immediately back to the center of B. Oops

Merge your triggers into one:

If (Unit is in A)
  Move unit to B
Else
  If (Unit is in B)
    Move unit to A
  Else
    Nothing

herms, i get that, but, i u should see the unit quickly move from one to the other, but in this case, it doesnt.. and that would explain it, if they both didnt work, but in my case.. one always works, and one doesnt, =[.

and i plan to have serveral more hundred of these triggers. so i cant put them all into one trigger, that would b very trouble some.

aww im starting to think this is hopeless

thank you for all ur ideas to fix it though

~~

btw i made the trigger simpler

Gate 2 School main
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
((gate 2 school main <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True) and ((Ability being cast) Equal to Action )
Actions
Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of school main 2 gate <gen>)
Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to (Center of school main 2 gate <gen>) over 0.00 seconds

School main 2 Gate
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
((school main 2 gate <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True) and ((Ability being cast) Equal to Action )
Actions
Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of gate 2 school main <gen>)
Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to (Center of gate 2 school main <gen>) over 0.00 seconds

same problem...

 

[Drunken_God]

maybe uplaod a testmap?
or look if the regions are on the right place

 

[FMAlchemist]

OK ill uplaod my map

First of all, use 'Starts the effect of an ability'

Second, use

 tags not [quote] tags.

Then, use better names. Your regions have similar names. This could develop into a habit and cause more problems.

Lastly, like Chjoodge said, it's better to merge the two triggers into one.

 

[FMAlchemist]

OMG, ahhahas yeah thank you! the makingg the two triggers into one, worked !

omg omg omg thank you ^^

i u should see the unit quickly move from one to the other, but in this case, it doesnt..

That's because the screen is not redrawn between those two triggers. One trigger runs, the other trigger runs, then you get to see the unit's new position.

and that would explain it, if they both didnt work, but in my case.. one always works, and one doesnt, =[.

Yes. That's because Warcraft runs your trigger 1 always before your trigger 2, so if you want in the direction of trigger 2, then first the trigger 1 does nothing and then the trigger 2 moves the unit correctly.

If you want to go in the direction of trigger 1, then first the trigger 1 moves the unit once, but then the trigger 2 moves it right back.

Nevermind Good you've got it working.
