Linera	How can I detect when a unit moves?

Vexorian	the most bullet proof way I know is a periodic timer and detecting the difference in distance between the last position and the current one. Of course if it is just a channeling spell you can use the 'Stops casting an ability' event

Set PointA = current loc
If x and y of PointA = x and y of PointB, then unit is not moving
Set PointB = PointA

That logic sets the current location of the unit, compares it to the previous location and then updates the previous location to the current location so the next time the script runs the "current" location is the true previous location.

I think you'll need to store reals if you use this method and not the actual points.

I'm sure there's a better way but I know this will work.

Linera	is this correct? Trigger: Moves Events Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability Conditions (Ability being cast) Equal to Attack Actions Set Moves[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = True

Anitarf	Try the oder comparison - current order of unit.

Vexorian	well the problem is that sometiemes unit move and they don't have any order

Anitarf	Well, but if they're channeling a spell, wouldn't their order still be that of the spell?

Blade.dk	Yes, it would.
