Unit roaming problem

08-10-2008, 12:19 PM

Sup everyone, i have a problem involving a unit roaming system i created that i need help with. I can't post my actual trigger because i'm nowhere near my world editor so please bear with me while i describe it.

After the unit spawns its ordered to attack move to a designated region. When enterring this area the following trigger runs...

Below is the trigger that spawns the unit and orders it to move to the first region.

Trigger:

Fur Forest Time Spawn 01 Copy

Events

Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Then - Actions

Unit - Create 1 Gnoll for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Creep Spawn Fur Forest Point 03 <gen>) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees

Then - Actions

Unit - Create 1 Gnoll Archer for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Creep Spawn Fur Forest Point 10 <gen>) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees

Set Creepspawn_FurforestcapGARCHER = (Creepspawn_FurforestcapGNOLL + 1.00)

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of Creep Spawn Fur Forest Point 10 <gen>) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Undead\UCancelDeath\UCancelDeath.mdl

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Patrol To (Center of Creep Spawn Fur Forest waypoint 03 <gen>)

Then - Actions

Unit - Create 1 Gnoll Bowman for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Creep Spawn Fur Forest Point 08 <gen>) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees

Set Creepspawn_FurforestcapGCROSSB = (Creepspawn_FurforestcapGNOLL + 1.00)

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of Creep Spawn Fur Forest Point 08 <gen>) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Undead\UCancelDeath\UCancelDeath.mdl

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Patrol To (Center of Creep Spawn Fur Forest waypoint 02 <gen>)

Else - Actions

Do nothing

Below is the trigger that runs when the unit enters the first region.

Trigger:

Events

Unit - A unit enters Creep Spawn Fur Forest waypoint 01 <gen>

Conditions

((Triggering unit) is owned by Player 12 (Brown)) Equal to True

Actions

Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack-Move To (Center of Creep Spawn Fur Forest waypoint 02 <gen>)

I have no idea why this doesn't work. The unit runs to the centre of the region and just simply stops there instead of moving onto the next.

I've tried various things to sort out this problem. Including changing the conditions, actions, triggering unit to entering unit etc. If you need me to post my trigger I'll try do it later tonight or early tomorrow.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	So like, what's wrong?

rizla	My bad, that was a noob thing to do, I forgot to say that when the unit reaches the first region it stops there for no apparent reason.

Vestras	Dude, how simple does it need to be? If this is everything you got in your code, there's definitely something wrong! Post your whole code.

rizla	Its simple in the example i gave, with one unit going to one region. Maybe simpler isn't the right word for it. I should rather say more efficient. Anyway, back to the issue at hand... I'll post the trigger tonight.

rizla	okay well i've finally managed to get to my PC (thank god) so i've updated my post with the trigger.

Pyrogasm	Perhaps try ordering the units to initially attack-move instead of patrol to their first destination?

rizla	Just tried to order the units to instantly attack move to the location but they still stop at the first region. Its a very strange problem.
