How to make a unit move in a spiral way?

Michael Peppers	So... I have to make a unit move like this... but I have no idea on how to code it. Also, since a spiral can be treated like a circle with a continuously decreasing radius, an explanation on how can I make a unit move in a circular way will suffice.

Saishy	This is how you do polar projections (Take a point UNITS away from a CORD using ANGLE) JASS: set x = XCORD + UNITS * Cos(ANGLE) set y = YCORD + UNITS * Sin(ANGLE) So, just use XCORD and YCORD as the center of your spiral, and then keep changing the angle (which must be in Radians) and lower the UNITS.

JASS:

Seems fair... rep deserved =D
