Replacing multiple units

Hi there,

I'm trying to make a trigger which creates a unit when three are placed in a certain region. At the same time, the trigger needs to remove all three units from the game.

Basically 3 units = 1 unit.

Here's what I have so far:

The problem is, it creates 3 Captains when it should only make one. Obviously I need something to tell it to only make 1 per 3 Footmen.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks.

I think this is what your looking for

• Fusion Enter
  • Fusion Enter
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit enters Fuse 1 <gen>
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to FuseGroup
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Number of units in FuseGroup) Greater than or equal to 3
        • Then - Actions
          • Set TempPoint = (Center of Fuse 1 <gen>)
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in FuseGroup and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from FuseGroup
              • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
          • Unit - Create 1 Captain for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        • Else - Actions

And to make sure the player doesn't exploit it by simply patrolling a unit in and out of the region.

• Fusion leave
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves Fuse 1 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from FuseGroup

If you didnt notice a great deal of that trigger was to deal with Leaks

Just curious how you got

• Fusion Enter

above your event there?

It doesn't work >.< Nor sure why at the moment :S

I have arrays on my variables, are they needed? I thought they are there so I don't need to make a bucketload of variables for each player.

If that's stopping it from working... I guess bucketloads it is.

Arrays sholden't hurt the trigger so long as you are properly using them Eg Fusion Group[1] could be for footmen to captain and FusionGroup[2] could be from archers to rangers or something. Just make sure you get the index right. You don't need a array for temp point but it should only be used in instantanius triggers (triggers with no waits in them). Here I will post my test map it worked fine for me.

You sir, I love you.

Permission to use that identical trigger in my map? I'll throw your name into the credits and everything and let you know when it's released

I have a feeling you know what I'm making ^^ Send me a PM if you do, would be interesting to hear your guess.
