Damaging all units inside the region

[Strydhaizer]

Can someone help me make a trigger where all "ground, organic units" will be damaged when inside the region? (A trigger where their life will decrease (-10 life) every second).

• Skirmish Storm Radiation
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Barbarians Peasant [Barbarians])) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Wait 1.00 seconds
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 1.00)

This one don't seems to work for some reason, i suck at triggering anyway.

Event: Every 1 seconds
Actions: Pick every unit in (The region you want) and do multiple actions
Loop:
if picked unit is ground unit equal to true
picked unit is equal to structure equal to false
picked unit is equal to mechanical equal to false
Then:
----------------------------------------------------
way 1: Set life of picked unit to (life of picked unit - 10)
----------------------------------------------------
way 2: (create a dummy before the loop, and give it expiration timer)
Cuase Last Created Unit to damage Picked unit for 10 damage, attack type Chaos, damage type Universal

That's going to double the population of the units in the map if i am understanding it right because it will make a dummy unit on every singe unit (matching the condition) existing on the map.

Anyway, i tried the way 1 and it works, thanks man!

Damn im weak at logic conditions.

Actually, you can prevent it from doubling the population of the units by configuring it in object editor.

Action : Cause area damage"

That's why I said "(create a dummy before the loop, and give it expiration timer)".
Then you will create just 1 dummy per second (and by giving it an expiration timer for 0.5 seconds - it will last only half of the time until you spawn the next one.
So the trigger will actually look like this:
Event: Every 1 seconds
Actions: Create 1 Dummy for Neutral Extra at Dummy_Point facing 0.00 deg
Add 0.5 seconds Generic expiration timer to Last Created Unit
Pick every unit in (The region you want) and do multiple actions
Loop:
if picked unit is ground unit equal to true
picked unit is equal to structure equal to false
picked unit is equal to mechanical equal to false
Then: Cuase Last Created Unit to damage Picked unit for 10 damage, attack type Chaos, damage type Universal

Yeah sure whatever, the first way is enough anyway, thank you once again

@WereElf,
You dont need a unit to actually deal the damage.
The damage is NEVER dealt by a unit in any case of the ENTIRE game.
It is dealt by code!

So, "No unit" (null) will still work, it just gives noone the credit for it.

Ah, I didn't know that!
That's good to know
