Alternative Portal

I made this Trigger for my Helm's Deep map and ther I had the Problem that if I use normal Portals for quick movement the enemys use them too so I made this trigger:
I want that if a Unit Group is ordered to follow a Teleporting Platform it will be moved to there not important where they are at the moment (otherwise pathing problem ).
But if already a unit is standing on the targeted platform you cant select the platform and they wont be moeved to there I solved the Problem.:

Event:
A Unit owned by player 1 is issued targeting an Object
..

Condition:
((Unit-type of (Target Unit of Issued Order)) Equal to <Teleporting Platform> or
(Unit type of((Random unit from ( Units within range of 90.00 of (Position of (Target Unit of Issued Order)) matching ((Unit type of (Matching Unit) equal to <teleporting Platform>) equal to <Teleporting Platform>.
Action:
Unit-Move (Triggering Unit) instantly to(Position of(Random unit from (Units within 90.00 of Position (Target unit issued order) matching unit type of (matching unit) equal to <Teleporting Platform>)
evt. specialeffect[s]

Hope this would be useful for someone

Aka'lamanaia	or base the unit on way gate.

Myster Mystery	Basing units off the waygate doesn't work, because it won't let you set the destination.

Nogumari	PHP Code: `Event-Unit enters region ____________________________________________ Condition-Unit(Type of entering (unit)) Equal to unit _________________________________________________ Action-Special Effect-Create Special effect at region Action-Move unit(instantly to (center of(region))` Hope this helps.

:Heh:

I know there a lot solutions for this problem, my solution is a special solution, for specific use, like most triggers in this forum.

Actually, there is a way to set the waygate destination. You still need to do it in custom text, though. The function is:

call WaygateSetDestination(waygate, x, y)

If you don't know which X or Y you have, for example if you only have a position, then you can use the GetLocationX and GetLocationY on the position to make it simple:

call WaygateSetDestination(waygate, GetLocationX(position), GetLocationY(position))

You may want to change the variables waygate and position to whatever you need.

I hope this helps

Peppar	Also, I do not know if the World Editor actually activates the new "waygate". You might want to add this line: call WaygateActivate(waygate, true)
