Add Event not working.

[manstie]

I have a jumper that makes units "jump" when they go near the unit: jumper.
If I do

• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to (==) Jumper)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Trigger - Add to Jumper <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 65.00 of (Picked unit))

It's not working.
Any ideas

Try this:

• Actions
• Set Temp_Group = (Units in (Playable Map Area))
• Unit Group - Pick up every unit in (Temp_Group) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Temp_Unit = (Picked unit)
    • Trigger - Add to Jumper <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 100.00 of (Temp_Unit)
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Temp_Group)

65.00 is a way too low value. Rememeber, normal attack range is 100.00 & 128.00 (considered as melee); then 65.00 would be really nothing. In order a unit gets that close to a unit, it has to have Pathing - Collision size = 0.

I measured, the circle of the jumper has 65 radius.
And with all my units the collision is turned off.
And the jumper has locust.

How would i set Temp_Group to only the units of unit type of jumper?

I guess the problem is the "A unit". What happens if u set it into a specified unit?

 

[manstie]

I have it all under control. I just need it to add the god damn events!

• Set Group = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to (==) Jumper))
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Unit = (Picked unit)
    • Trigger - Add to Jumper <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 65.00 of Unit)
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Group)

What the hell
Not working either.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Works fine for me? :S

 

[manstie]

What about: Matching unit type... that might be the problem.

EDIT: Hah, I added the Matching Unit type to your trigger and it didn't work then.

EDIT2: Holy shit! I did

• Set Group = (Unit type of Jumper)
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Unit = (Picked unit)
    • Trigger - Add to Jumper <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 65.00 of Unit)
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Group)

And it worked!

 

[Super-Sheep]

Like dis?

 

[manstie]

Yeah, that's working for me.

I was actually trying
Pick every unit in playable map area matching (Unit type of picked unit = Jumper) and do Actions.
And that's what failed.

Thanks for the wonderfull trigger, but i am suffering a heavy memory leak issue over here.
And the part i quoted from your post makes my map unusable.
Any help is appreciated =)

This is my trigger:

• test
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Jumperunitgroup = (Units of type Jumper)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Jumperunitgroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Jumper = (Picked unit)
        • Trigger - Add to Red jumper <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 175.00 of (Picked unit))

Red jumper is the following trigger:

• Red jumper
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Escaper 0020 <gen>
  • Actions
    • Set Facing_Var = (Facing of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Escaper = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add Crow Form to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Crow Form from (Triggering unit)
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit) flying height to 600.00 at 400.00
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 Copy <gen>
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit) flying height to 0.00 at 400.00
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Untitled Trigger 002 Copy <gen>

Untitled Trigger 002 Copy is this trigger:

• Untitled Trigger 002 Copy
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Location[1] = (Position of Escaper)
    • Set Temp_Location[2] = ((Position of Escaper) offset by (Slidingspeed x 2.00) towards Facing_Var degrees)
    • Unit - Move Escaper instantly to Temp_Location[2]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Location[1])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Location[2])

Hopefully i gave you people enough info about my triggers

Edit: NVM, i really need to learn to use my head for 3 seconds(read: 3 hours) from now on.
I forgot to change the group name, so i did that now and its working fine now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit #2: After some extensive testing (just came back from vacation so i didn't have the time earlier on) it still seems to "leak" i don't want to call it leak because i don't think its the trigger....
When i place like more then 50(just some number i made up, but defiantly below 100) it starts lagging like hell, but it doesn't memory leak.
Myself i think this is because it needs to add to many events to the other trigger.

This is the trigger that event's get added TO:

• Red jumper
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Escaper 0020 <gen>
  • Actions
    • Set Facing_Var = (Facing of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Escaper = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add Crow Form to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Crow Form from (Triggering unit)
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit) flying height to 600.00 at 400.00
    • Trigger - Turn on Untitled Trigger 002 Copy <gen>
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit) flying height to 0.00 at 400.00
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Untitled Trigger 002 Copy <gen>

This is the trigger that adds the events:

• test
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Jumperunitgroup = (Units of type Jumper)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Jumperunitgroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Jumper = (Picked unit)
        • Trigger - Add to Red jumper <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 175.00 of (Picked unit))
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_Jumperunitgroup )

And that trigger gets run by this trigger:

• Create stuff
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Jumper --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Acolyte 0000 <gen> is selected by (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Jumper for Player 1 (Red) at (Target point of issued order) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Trigger - Run test <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions

Any help is welcome
