Code:
Unit - Issue order targeting a point

You have the figure out the rest to get it to move to the place you want.

The function for the point you want is something like this:
(Point with polar offset - ((Position of (Unit)) Offset by 100 towards (Facing of (Unit)))

And if you want to go even deeper, you can tell it to move to an x/y coordinate offset from himself for more accurate movement.

However Gandalf's way is better suited for this situation.

I can't see how I can get that to look like this,
(Point with polar offset - ((Position of (Unit)) Offset by 100 towards (Facing of (Unit)))

can you please help me?

Simply go to

"New Action"
"Unit - Issue Unit targetting a point"

Click on "(Center of (Playable Map Area))" and a new window pops up.
Go under Function, find Point with Polar Offset.

thanks Squally425, -={tWiStÄr}=- I went through all the issue order to point A thingy and that's the closet i could get iy to Gandalf2349 example.

I understand what you are saying but I am looking at things for myself and can't find how to do them I post here, but I always look for myself first..

Squally425 that's exactly the same as my screen shot, it offsets it from the center of the map, thnak you very much for your help but I need some1 to show me how to offset it from the position of the unit

Change (Center of Playable map) to (unit-position of (target unit)) or an offset from your unit's position itself. I don't have WE on right now so I can't give exact details.

Ah I see wut you mean.

After going to polar offset, change Playable map to Unit - Position of Triggering unit (or wutever u want there), offset by 100. Then in the last 0.00 degrees, change it to (under units, in function) Unit - Facing Angle of (triggering unit)
