[allenwalker1995]

Hi Guys, i need some help with my passive ability trigger,

what i have currently is a passive ability that create dummy unit like "feral spirit" to attack, but i do not know how to make the trigger stop once it summon 2 units as it keep summon more units each time the Hero is attacked.

Thank for the Help.

Add a condition to the trigger. Go to the condition part of the trigger and under the integer comparison choose "Count Living Units Owned By Player" and change the operator from "Equal To" to "Less Than" and the value to "2", of course set the unit type in the condition to your unit.

• Cond_Example
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Number of living "Your Unit Here" units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Less than 2
  • Actions
    • Create Your Unit

I think that the condition "number of living units owned by player" leaks a group. You would want to create a group and set it to "number of living wolves owned by player" and then use an If Then Else Statement to check the number of units in that newly created group, then destroy the group after you're done with it.

Anyway, I attached a map with two examples of how you could do this using Integers and a Unit Indexer. The first example is MUI and uses a Unit Indexer and the other example is very basic and works for only one player.

The Unit Indexer version is great because it keeps track of each individual Hero's "wolf count". So you could have multiple Heros out at once and it will work for all of them.

You must be using an older version of warcraft that isn't compatible with the unit indexer.

All you need to do is recreate these 2 triggers and then import a Unit Indexer into your map. I was using Bribe's Unit Indexer so maybe try to find an older version of it.

CV = Integer
