abilities to: retreat, advance and follow

[Itztalmatan]

I started a new project, for my second map ill make "War Chasers", so conceited from my self...
Any ways, it begins in a war, a huge one and i need that when a hero cast one of the mentioned in the title abilities it picks, or some like, every unit for player 9 only in a range of the triggering unit and make the picked, or whatever, to move to certain region or to follow the hero. My last atempt was the one in the picture.
I also need to make some upgrades once a hero enters a region.
Sorry for the spanish and hope you can understand it...

Use [trigger][/trigger] instead when posting GUI triggers.

When you use "Pick every unit in unit group matching condition", for the condition, you use (Picked unit), when you should use (Matching unit) instead. This should make it work.

However, the way you made the trigger seems a bit inefficient, what you should probably do is set the unit group to a variable firsthand then do the nested if checks and using the variable instead.

You should also read up on Memory Leaks as you leak points and unit groups. There are many good tutorials about it here on the Hive.

Theres a trigger which is complicated for what you need i will look for it and let u know.




EDIT:This map has all what you need but its complicated and you must ask Permission from the original owner Need Help Modifying Advanced Trigger here he is.

i changed the action to matching unit but didnt render any result; actually i dont know what else to try...

Did you put the nested ifs inside the unit group actions?

Did you put the nested ifs inside the unit group actions?

Like adding the requirement of player ownership of the picke unit? i tried some like before

 

[Light]

Like so:

• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit...
    • Actions
      • Unit - Make...
      • If (All Conditions are True) then (Do Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • condition
        • Then - Actions
          • action
        • Else - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then (Do Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • condition
            • Then - Actions
              • action
            • Else - Actions
              • etc.

I dont know men, would you give a look at the map? though is on a very early beta state its playable and all that... i would give you the info to find where those triggers are.

You literally just need to make sure each If block is inside the Then - Actions of the next previous If. Not hard. You can Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to move them around. Light showed you what it should look like!

Ignoring that it's not likely anyone will want to look through all of your map's triggers when you won't even try to solve this with the suggestions people have given and questions they've asked (fixing your problems for you just leads you to coming back here with no problems and no intent to solve them yourself)... nobody can check out your map if you don't post it.

I tried with a similar triger. I picked every unit in range, and with (if owner of picked unit = player 9 issue picked unit to move to the destination) but it didnt work at all. I didnt get the lights point with that trigger, why would i want 2 ifs? there is only one owner of units that matters, 9 player. Also he said in his first commentary that using the matching unit function would be enough but then came with that trigger. Im pretty sure that its a simple request is just that is my %$&/ second map and i never tried with any ralated to programing before so i dont know how to do it.

Please post your triggers so we can actually know what you did wrong.

The trigger to attack is the same as the one to recede.

your trigger stuff

Please paste your trigger between [trigger][/trigger] tags next time, it's much easier to read. Unfortunately this site doesn't parse triggers in other languages so the icons don't appear properly, but it is better formatted with actual spaces.

Much more readable.

As Light said back in the first reply in this thread... you are using Picked Unit where you should be using Matching Unit, and you're using Matching Unit where you should be using Picked Unit. I think all of them in both triggers are backwards. In general use this to remember:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (blah blah blah MATCHING (use matching unit in here equal to true) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • -------- all of the units that matched above will be picked to do the stuff here, so you use Picked Unit here --------
