Unit MOves to middleof the map??

[rayquaza218]

Ok guyz, i have a problem. I have a spell, its really simple. Theres a blademaster, he does shockwave, and moves instantly to the targeted point. Theres a serious bug with this, when i target a place where theres sumthing there, the blademasters moves to the middle of the map. So for example i shockwave (targets a tree) instead of teleporting to a side of the tree, i teleport into the middle of the map. Why is this so ? can someone help me fix it? heres the trigger i used. The base spell "elemental strike" is just a shockwave, with nothing changed except damage and cooldown.

In the Object Editor > Abilities, if you have enabled this custom ability of your's to target single targets as well as points, I think the caster will be moved (by default) to the COPMA (center of playable map area) if he targets a unit, destructible or whatever.

I think this is because you have made the variable of your's only set to a "Target point of ability being cast".
To fix your problem, try making the ability of your's only able to target points, as their is no way to condition the intro of your actions in such a way that it will "single out" either if a point is being targeted, or obviously a unit.

JASS might be able to do those conditions though.. I'm not sure..

Thanks alot!!
It seems that the problem was what u said its a "point", and if a unit is targeted, i would move to the middle of the map, i fixed this bug by creating a variable and setting the variable to point of ability being cast. NO longer do i have this bug. This is the new trigger i have, theres ANOTHER bug. The shockwave, nomatter where i aim, always goes upwards. my character moves as normal, but the wave shoots towards north, wherever i target the spell.

I see nothing wrong with your trigger.. Maybe your second problem has originated in the Object Editor?

Also, wrap your trigger not in the "quote" tag, but the "code" tag. Its makes triggers far easier to read =)
