Moving a Unit with a Trigger

[:1]I'm new to making trigger enhanced spells. I've been playing around with it for the past week using GUI. I'm not using JASS at this point but maybe will at some point.

I'm trying to make a custom spell that will 'teleport' the user to the target unit. However I've encountered some problems.

The trigger I am using is:

Event - generic unit starts effect of ability

Condition - ability = to MyAbilityName

Action - Move (Triggering Unit) instantly to (Position of (Target unit of Ability being cast)) with something something angles.

Now when I do that it works fine and moves the caster to the target unit just like I want. However here are the problems that exist:

1.It does not show the special effects I added to the spell.

2. It does not perform any actions after the move ability (for instance, I added a dummy caster to deal damage to the target unit but this did not happen).

3. There is no cooldown time for the ability - it can be used again instantly.

In trying to determine what was wrong I played around a bit and found something out but I don't know what it means or how I can fix the problem.

I added a Wait action of 0.01 seconds right before the Move Action. Now when I had my unit cast the spell it solved some of the problems:

1. It showed the special effects.

2. I actually don't know if it solved this one or not (the dummy unit didn't deal any damage but that was probably because it was out of range due to a different error).

3. The cooldown for the ability worked as I had wanted it to.

However by adding that Wait action I encountered a totally different problem: now my unit didn't perform the Move action. Everything else happened except the unit didn't actually move anywhere.

So does anyone know what I am doing wrong with the trigger and how I can correct it?

EDIT: Found a clumsy workaround which will have to do for now. Instead of having the move action be part of this trigger, I created a new trigger set to initially turned off:

Event - Periodic every 0.2 seconds

Action - Move MyVariableUnit instantly to AnotherVariableLocation,

Action - Turn off ThisTrigger

Then in my initial trigger when the spell was cast I had it turn on this trigger. For whatever reason doing things this way gets rid of all the problems I was having. Of course it;s not at all an optimal solution but at least it works.|||can you post the complete trigger that u have?|||Quote:

Is there any way to copy and paste the whole trigger from inside the game? Either way, I'll try to edit it in here later today.
