[General] "A unit enters a region"

[Marcell]

Hi all,

I got the title part to work, but I want to modify "A unit" to 2 units,3 units,4 units...you get the picture. I'm sure this is under "conditions", but I'm still a big noob and don't understand coding language so all that jargon of booleans, etc don't make sense to me.

You can't, but you can have a sort of a counter that goes up whenever they enter, and goes down when they leave, then checking if the number is 2, 3 or whatever

Building off this, you can check for the number of units in the region (as a condition) if you don't want to set up your own variable to count.

I figured it would be a condition. What is the name of the condition?

 

[Rogue Kessler]

Integer comparison.

• Conditions
  • (Number of units in (Units in Region)) Equal to (Integer)

No you cannot. You can only check the number of units in the rect that was used by the GUI event wrapper to fill the region. This region usually represents a different area of the map from the rect it was made.

(Number of units in (Units in Region)) Equal to (Integer)

This leaks a unit group. Additionally the entering unit might not be returned in that group for the reason mentioned above.

The only way is to use a counter to track the number of units that entered the region. Another trigger is needed to track the number of units leaving the region.

Yeah, those are good points. In that case setting up a counter like you suggested before is ideal.
