Unit Control

[LiveSsenkrad]

I am trying to make a ability, Underling Master. It is based of devotion aura. It creates 3 creeps to follow the Underling Master around, but I am struggling with that.

This is the creeps range limit to return to the master

• CreepLimit
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Underling) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Triggering unit) has buff Underling ) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Follow creep_master
          • Else - Actions

I think the aura works in milliseconds, instead of a constant stream, so the units only follows the master around, not following orders whatsoever. I tried getting other wasy of doing this but none came up. Help please.

Use move to and not folow

I think you should change to <picked unit>., But that trigger works only to order Underlings follow creep_master, right?

First, do you only have 1 creep_master in your map, otherwise the variable creep_master will get overwritten of another unit casts that summoning spell

Secondly, use Attack-Move to (Position of (creep_master)) instead of follow, this will make the creeps attack other enemy creeps while following the master

And you need to do the change Argos pointed out too

 

[Gtam]

Folow is patrol and when he folows a unit he attacks al enemies in sight

 

[HydraRancher]

Anyone gonna mention it leaks?

 

[LiveSsenkrad]

@argos

Simple thing I missed :< Thanks

@Komaqtion
I have only one creep master.

@HydraRancher

Where?

@SharkBait87

Yea that proved to be useful thanks

 

[Genkora]

the unit group leaks. You need to set it to a variable, then use a custom script to remove it. call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)

 

[HydraRancher]

also Position of unit option leaks
You need to set it to a point then custom script remove it.

@Genkora

I do not understand how the unit group leaks, can you explain that please?

@HydraRancher

Why must I set it to a point? It works perfectly when I let them move to the unit variable.

 

[Gtam]

Il explain the group it leaks because u dont destroy it. U need to put it into a unit group variable the pick units in ur group variable. Then at the end u need to destroy it

 

[LiveSsenkrad]

So it makes a difference if I put them in a group Variable and then destroy the group?

 

[Gtam]

Yes it wil make ur map lagless. leaks cause lag

 

[LiveSsenkrad]

So it automaticly creates points if I make units move to a unit variable (which has been set earlier)

 

[Gtam]

No u said pick every unit in playable map area matching unit type under what ever. It leaks create a group variable.
