How can i make the infestor to cast infested terran in front of the target unit? I dont want the IT to be casted directly on it or behind it. I will probably do the same with the blink ability but with negative values. So i guess the question is how i can make a relative point to do this.

should work this way:

-create persistent at target unit
-have the persistent periodic spawn the unit at x,y

I'm sorry but i don't understand what you mean by "-have the persistent periodic spawn the unit at x,y" Do you know maybe some example of this being used in the story mode that i can use? Is this even possible to do without triggers?

What i have tried so far is to make a dummy ability that a trigger reacts on and then order the unit to use IT but i ran into problems even there :(

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I have no idea how to do that :(

1. create a persistant on the target 2. issue order targeting persistant....

target an offset << i dont understand that at all

Ghaaaa i have no experience with that :D So frustrating when i cant even come up with a similar thing in the story line :(, i wish i had acesss to the infestor AI :/ might have helped me.

If you dont mind or somebody else dont mind then please make me a sample map of this auto ability couse i have no clue right now how to do it :/

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Hmm i think i understand you, i think i know how to do all that exept the offset thing, i just have to try and see.

Nope, i dont understand at all, its asking for x y z cordinates.... Nothing about distance towards caster.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Ah haaaaaa

How would the issue order look like

Target =
Unit =

Should i think like this that the persistant is the "caster" and the unit the source/origin or something like that?

Ok i finally got the stupid infestors to cast IT on the persistant spot BUT i cant offset the persistant :/ exacly in what fields do i do it? As soon as i change target offset initial then the infestor dont cast any terrans :/ Is there some other fields i should look into or something like that ?

Here is what i have done, -1 make the infestors do nothing, 0 make em cast infested terrans at the enemy. What is wrong?

Going fucking nuts here!!!! as soon as i change the stupid offset values to anything but the default value then they wont cast the damn terran no matter how i change the target offsets, start, end etc. I tried to make the a periodic effect with 1 period and have it cast a periodic effect and also tried to make it a initial effect but i never get the offset to work!!!!

Tried changing the target in the order effect to unit/point or point?

Yes, gonna test again tho just to be sure i dont remember wrong :)

Edit, tested target unit/point and it works without a offset set but as soon as i add a offset then it dont work, same result with target point.

The setup shown in the the pictures below does not work.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I can try that again, i did earlier, maybe its different this time :)

First test without any offset, same options as above but as a periodic effect wih a 0.1 duration. : Casts IT on Target

Secound test, periodic offset set on 0 -1 0: The infestors ignore and just keeps walking. it does not work at all :(

3rd: changed target locations so that it was unit/point on all, still same

They just walk right by the enemy like this
