have a few trigger questions

1. How can i make it that if a player presses the up arrow the unit will move in the direction he is faceing untill the player lets go of it

2. how can i make it so a unit will attack ground if the player click on a region(and that ground being that region)

3. can an ability like Cold Arrows be used when attacking ground?

4. ....everything good ends in four dosent it?

I haven't done any of this stuff, but I have some ideas that might help get you started until someone who knows what they're doing can help. ;)

#1:

Trigger 1:

Event - Player - Keyboard Event - Player presses up.

Action - Turn on Trigger 2:

--

Trigger 2:

Event - Periodic Event - Every .03 seconds.

Action - Instantly move unit to [code that transfers the angle the unit is facing to coordinates a short distance away from the unit.]

---

Trigger 3:

Event - Player - Keyboard Event - Player releases up

Action - Turn off Trigger 2.

------

#2:

Event - Generic Unit Event - Unit is issued an order targetting a point

Action - Order unit attack ground at target point of issued order.

------

#3.

Dunno...try it and find out. ;)

-----

#4. Yes.

Use a condition on the attack trigger to verify the unitstate mana is greater than whatever you want.

As for your crashing, I'm not really sure what's causing it. I just typed up a quick version of a "holding up = moving up", and while it only worked once (guess triggers can only be turned on/off once), it didn't crash anything.

I don't have time to look at it for now, but if you post it maybe someone else can help you...in the mean time, sorry if it was something I said! :////
