Okay, so I've got a trigger that looks something like this:

Trigger
Players

  • player 2
  • Conditions

  • players 2 brings 1 firebat to location 6
  • Actions

  • move 1 firebat for player to at location 6 to location 2
  • disable doodad state
  • enable doodad state
  • enable doodad state
  • disable doodad state
  • enable doodad state
  • enable doodad state
  • enable invincability
  • order all firebat for player 2 at location 2 to "move here"

  • Now, my problem is, at the end of the trigger, the firebat sits there. He doesn't move.

    I've even got another trigger that waits a second, then orders the same firebat to move to the same "move here" location, and he still doesn't move.
    I can't find out why this is being caused, or how to fix it. If I could get some input, I would greatly appreciate.
    If you want, I could post the map up for you guys as well.

    I'm assuming you're trying to cloak it, the actual trigger is Disable Wait 0 Enable Wait 0 Enable, Order, you don't need all those weird ones.



    None.

    Okay, that might be why.
    I'm just going off of a map by Loveless I found in your test-map compilation. Sprite-battle system.
    I'll try using that order of actions next.

    SDE, BWAPI owner, hacker.

    Why 2 enables? I'm sure it only needs one enable. The other, in theory, would have no effect.

    Hmm, I remember Farty saying something about it, not being necessary, that is, but that's just always the way I've seen it done, and I know that way works, I guess you could test shorter methods if you want.

    I've never used enables, and all my disables worked for me.

    If you don't enable it you cannot move it afterwards...
