Ability: Healing Hearth

[Plasm Spasm]

The Hearth is an ability that can be applied to farms and houses.

When a unit enters the building's cargo they will begin to slowly heal over time.

I was wondering if I could make a trigger that heals units when they're in cargo.

Sort of like the opposite of Devour.

(I also thought of putting the animation of the Sleeping Spell above rooftops when this ability is active. Just to be cute.)

This should be in World Editor Help Zone.

I think you can use Bribe's GUI Unit Event to detect when a unit enters and or leaves cargo. You can run a loop that will apply a HoT when they enter, and then remove the HoT when they leave.

I remember trying to make this work. And I remember being successful
But I do not remember how I did it. I think I checked if the last order given for a unit had the target type (unit type) of my choice when the "unit leaves map" event triggered.

I think there is an event for when unit is loaded into transport - afaik that event fires for all types cargos.
When unit leaves cargo can be detected by "unit enters (playable map area))" event.

So basically what I would do would be the following:
Create a generic unit group.
When the event "unit is loaded into transport" fires and the unit-type of the transporting unit is equal to your structure, then add the triggering unit to your generic unit group.
When unit enters playable map area and that unit is in your generic unit group, remove it from the group.
Create a trigger with periodic event and iterate through each unit inside the unit group and increase their health.

Edit: Something like this:

Only because I reported it to be moved it was originally in Triggers & Scripts.
