Trigger Help.

Okay so i made a trigger so that when a unit casts an ability, it creates a dummy with the missle affect which travels in a line. Now it works fine, except if your facing the opposite way that you casted, the dummy goes a different way to the point you selected.

This is the trigger:

• Casting
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fireball
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint[0] = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set TempPoint[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Firebolt for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (TempPoint[1] offset by 50.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees) facing (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees
    • Set Firebolt[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Turn collision for Firebolt[1] Off
    • Trigger - Turn on Movement <gen>
    • Trigger - Add to Contact and Damage <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 50.00 of Firebolt[1])
    • Wait 2.50 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Movement <gen>
    • Unit - Remove Firebolt[1] from the game
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point(0))
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point(1))

How do i make it so regardless of your facing angle, it travels facing the point you selected.

Instead of "Facing of (Triggering unit)", try "Angle from TempPoint[1] to TempPoint[2]".

perfect thanks for that, also is there a way to make it so that the last part of the trigger works?

The call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint(1)) becuase it seems that arrays dont work for me with that custom script.

its call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint[0]). It is caps sensitive so type it to be the same as the variable name but add udg_ in front.
