Search Trigger - Me failed :/

Ok, first I wanted to say, I tried it before, but I failed
I need a Trigger for a Whell, like you can find in some Escaper Maps ... I have added an example how it could look like ! So it would great if someone knows anything about what I am searching for. If you never seen what I meaning, here are some more information: Example Picture - 5 lines - 5 units at one line, at it turning right or left way, it does not matter, if the basics are clear, it doesn´t matter if there a 2-8 lines and 2-8 units added, (8 cause it cause lag if there is too much, right ?)

You need a unit group variable (I called WGroup) and to know the center. I gave the location variable a point but you can change it to whatever fits your needs.



You may switch values to your needs. This is the main idea.

~Daelin

Unit - Set Position of (Picked Unit) to (center offset by (Distance Between center and (Position of (Picked Unit)) towards (Angle Between center and (Position of (Picked Unit))+5.00)

I do not have this option avaible in my Editor :/ Argh, also I hate my German shit Editor, cause there is half german and half english, and this really sucks, maybe someone can help - btw, thanks Daelin, you gave me the basic, now I have to take a look what exactly it should do - not working yet, but I am on it.

Well... Isn't there a trigger to set an unit's position to something? Then you can modify the point to a polar projection with the parameters I gave above (center, distance between blah blah and angle between blahblah). Distance and angle are both real functions. :) Good luck!

ok, it works, but I just need to know one more thing, cause I tried it by my own and I crashed my PC :/ mass lag, so what parameters exactly changes what ? Cause now I got the Trigger, thanks to Daelin, but I do not really get it, what´s going on, so please can anyone describe what stands for what, that would be great !

And please, do not explain me something like that :
Timer - Every 0.05 seconds of the game

Edit:What I need to know:

• What changes numbers of lines
  What changes numbers of units in one line
  What changes the direction on how the wheel is turning around ( left/right)

Actually I forgot to mention that I did not include memory leaks removal into the coding so yeah, you have thousands of leaks there. My mistake. To remove the leak make a global variable "TempLoc". I modified the rest in the first post.

Number of lines is modified by the second value of the (For Integer A). Practically if you want six lines go from 1 to 6 but then change into the polar offset the angle to (Integer A)*(360/6). The number of wisps is influenced by the second for. Practically going from 1 to 6 for it would create 6 wisps per wheel.

The rotation is influenced by the second trigger, depending on how much you add or substract to the angle. Substracting makes the wheel rotate clockwise (anti-trigonometric) while adding makes the wheel rotate anti-clockwise (trigonometric). Hope it is clearer now and sorry for the leaks stuff. I completely forgot!

You forgot ? I do not care, cause you were the one who gave me hope that my map will be finished someday Ok, I going to fix and get some more experience, I hope there won´t be any understanding problems Again, thanks .

I can´t choose "Integer B" and "Integer A" in this function, what shall I do ?
Random real number between 0 and 5 ? I got a wheel, but the units aren´t in line, there were in random positions around center and moving around,but not in lines What´s the problem ? Can you help me again

Actually you can, but the expression allows only real values. Just go to Conversion - Integer to Real and use as a parameters (Integer A), respectively (Integer B).

~Daelin

Still not working, where is the bug ? Sorry, if there is a wrong translation :/

I attached a working boulder system for you, btw. what i already mentioned in the first post Daelin, i won't ever use angle between 2 points, because the boulders goes crazy when they are blocked by an object or something else.
What my System contains:
- Unitgroup : To store the units
- 3 Real: So the units don't go crazy and to store the distance and angle
- 2 Point: To prevent leaks and to set the center
When you want to make more than 1 wheel replace the old one or use an array.
(In this example i used workers )

Ok, thanks to Daelin, I finaly got it, yepppay !

Well,Fireeye - thanks for your map, maybe you can create an Tutorial for it, or anything else ! Thanks for it, too.

So thanks for HELP, now I may finsih my map :)
