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.

    wait, so you need to wait till the next trigger cycle in order to cloak it?

    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.

    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...

    Oh_Man -- and no consistent easy to use way to then play the audio either

    Oh_Man -- where they use third party audioprogram called WWISE which basically makes adding audio extremely difficult

    NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.
