[Trigger] The best way to remove unit from the game?

[klemen]

I use Remove (unit) action now, but something strange happens in-game.

I can see health bars of dummies, which should already removed (so they obviously are 't).


What's the most sure way that unit will dissapear?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

• Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

 

[-Berz-]

Make a unit group, and remove all units.

 

[darkrider]

add a 0.01 expiration timer

 

[Palaslayer]

show me ur trigger. maybe there is another fault
remove unit and those other possibilities usually work. it could be that ur trigger is interrupted by sth and doesnt do the last actions

 

[-Berz-]

sec I'll make you a trigger, just tell me the event/condition.

Here:

• RemoveUnits
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc01 = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Set GroupVar = (Units within 50000.00 of TempLoc01)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in GroupVar and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_GroupVar)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc01)

 

[Captain Griffen]

Move destroy group to outside the loop.

 

[klemen]

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Hidden stomp
  • Then - Actions
    • Set HiddenStompLOC = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 hiddenstomp for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at HiddenStompLOC facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
    • Set HiddenStompDummy = (Last created unit)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Hidden stomp for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of Hidden stomp dummy for HiddenStompDummy to 1
        • Unit - Order HiddenStompDummy to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp
        • Wait 1.00 seconds
        • Unit - Remove HiddenStompDummy from the game
      • Else - Actions

event=Unit begins casting ability

so should I try with generic expiration timer?

 

[Justify]

Yes, expiration timers are the best solution

 

[darkrider]

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Hidden stomp
  • Then - Actions
    • Set HiddenStompLOC = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 hiddenstomp for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at HiddenStompLOC facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
    • Set HiddenStompDummy = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Hidden stomp dummy for HiddenStompDummy to (Level of (Hidden stomp) for (triggering unit))
    • Unit - Order HiddenStompDummy to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp
    • Unit - Add a 1.00 second generic expiration timer to HiddenStompDummy
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_HiddenStompLOC)

Make it this way... it will be a lot better and you dont have to worry about the level of hidden stomp any more

ok, expiration timer works ok, but I hear Peasant's death sound :/

I removed the death animation from the dummy, but there is no sound category for death sound. How to remove this?

Also, at this point, I want to ask another question (because I don't want to start a new topic just for this).

I added silence ability to one of the items, but when I use the ability, there is no cooldown animation on the item. Cooldown exists (it says spell is not ready yet) but there is no cooldown animation (that grey thing that counts down the cooldown). Can the problem be in item's icon, or maybe in cooldown group?

 

[Captain Griffen]

The death sound on the peasant is, I do believe, on the model; alternative on its sound set.

 

[klemen]

oh, I will try to use some model with no sound then, we will see what comes out

 

[darkrider]

dont use a model

in the model part type .mdx (or mdl i dont remember ) and that will remove your problem

or you can use a whisp instead of a peasant

try with another cooldown group (actually one that has cooldown )

 

[klemen]

try with another cooldown group (actually one that has cooldown )

well I did acutally, I used cooldown group from one of the working items but the result was the same

I will experiment a little I guess
