Variable prob

[Xonora]

How do I set a variable to mark the position of a unit every 0.03 seconds? Because if i do it like this,

Event
every 0.03 secs

Actions
set variable (ShipPosition[1]) to be position of Ship1
set variable (ShipPosition[2]) to be position of Ship2
call RemoveLocation (udg_ShipPosition[1])
call RemoveLocation (udg_ShipPosition[2])



Then my variable is useless or empty(?) I guess its coz i made the trigger to add and remove the variable at the same instant. But if i add a wait time then the marking will be irregular

Register unit instead. Then you can do position of variable instead.

 

[Xonora]

dont understand.

 

[Rainther]

My idea backfires I just figured. If you want the specific position of the unit only once, my method isn't the way to go, so nevermind.
Try this as custom script:
set udg_ShipPosition[2] = Location(GetUnitX(<rawcode of Ship 1>),GetUnitY(<rawcode of Ship 1>))
It's supposed to do pretty much the same as your, but takes X and Y instead and prevent it from leaking if I'm not mistaken.

my way cant work? and that looks jass to me

if i get what your trying to do, your trying to constantly update the unit position into a variable. Why not just, whenever you need the position, set the variable to position of unit, do stuff with it and then RemoveLocation it.

 

[Rainther]

Ah, lol. Forgot it's a repeating function. As cle~z~ said is what I already mentioned. Store the units instead of the position. Then you don't need to update it and only take posision of Ship[1] for instance.
Sorry for messing your head with Jass.

 

[Xonora]

its ok. so everytime i wan the position to be used, i just set and remove? it can stack?

 

[Xonora]

Oh ya another question is the event function When a unit comes within 256 range of Unit. Wat variable type must the variable be for unit?

 

[Rainther]

I don't fully understand what you mean, to say the least.

Example:
set Ship[1] = Unit


set TempLoc = Posistion of Ship[1]
<Do your things>
call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

 

[Xonora]

There is an Event function - "When unit comes within range of Unit."

Wat variable is used when refering to 'Unit'

 

[Rainther]

I have actually no idea. Maybe you need to store it with structs (Jass) lor use global variable if it's not supposed to be MUI, cause I can't recall any event unit for that.

 

[Xonora]

the only way is to have the unit you want on the map initially. It cannot refer to a created unit. Which sux

 

[cleeezzz]

yes it can

Trigger - Add event to *Your Trigger* the event "Unit comes within 256 of Last created Unit"

 

[Xonora]

give me an example?
