Diablo 2 type follower system

[Nosticus]

Ok, so about 3 years ago I found a trigger that made summoned units or specifically set units to follow other units like they did in Diablo 2 ( the summoned creatures and mercs), and I was wondering if anyone had that said trigger? or have a better version that would cause follows to cast magic and such.

Ok, so problem it makes my map unable to load, do you know why?

 

[MajorKaza]

Nope. Maby varsion of editor?

 

[Nosticus]

The editor opens up the map no problem, but wc3 itself can't run it.

 

[MajorKaza]

Try to remade map by impor and export all into empty map. If it will run - your file is corrupted and you have to start again.

Links, please and thank you

 

[Nosticus]

Linkss??

 

[MajorKaza]

Links? Just use File -> export all/import all. Or check map path. If it is too long WC3 just won't see it.

I think it still sees it, the char[] that holds it probably overflows though.

What are you guys talking about? the WE editor opens it NO PROBLEM, but the game will not load the map, when I click start, the chains go up like its launching, and then they return.

Yea we're talking about the problem where if you've got too long of a file-path from the C: it will not appear in Warcraft III when you're browsing your custom map folder (or wherever you put your maps). This is an entirely different issue than the one you're describing.

If you have tried what Frotty suggested then I suggest you post the map to allow a member (perhaps myself) to scan through the code and see if there is anything irregular. It could be that your map is somehow corrupted. Hard to say from just the description of the problem.

jsut make a looping trigger & 1 group when a unit is summoned, save the summoner to
a hashtable, add the summoned unit to the group, then in the looping trigger...

• Event
  • Time - Every 3 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • Unit - Pick every unit in GROUP
    • //Load your hashtable value here then order picked unit to follow the
    • //loaded value, in this case the caster, if summoned unit dies
    • //remove it from GROUP

Wow I thought this was an entirely different thread. No wonder nobody knew what I was talking about.
