[Trigger] Add Passive Ability to Random units of Player...

[Scytharius]

Owning 1 unit = 1 Food Used (from your third resource next to your lumber). Maximum limit is 100.

Item called "Food" has charges and the maximum charges it can have is 1000.

You lose charges of your item "Food" by the Food Used amount every 60 seconds. (So if you have 30 Food Used, you lose 30 charges of your item called "Food" every 60 seconds).


What I want this trigger to do, is reduce the Food charges amount by the Food Used and add/remove the Starvation ability according to how much Food charges you have to feed your units.

So if you have 20 Food Charges and have 30 Food Used, then 10 random units of yours should get the starvation ability. If you have 10 units who already have the ability and this trigger occurs again, then those 10 units should still have the ability as well as 20 more randomly selected units of yours to gain the ability since you have 0 Food Charges now. (Which means all your units have the starvation ability now, 30 Food Used = you have 30 units).

However

If you have 40 Food Charges and have 30 Food Used with 5 of your units already having the Starvation ability, then you will be down to 10 Food Charges with those 5 units not having the ability anymore.

If you have 28 Food Charges and have 30 Food Used with 5 of your units having Starvation already, then 3 out of the 5 units with Starvation will be randomly selected to have their Starvation ability removed.



I am really struggling trying to achieve ^ the above. This is pretty difficult I feel. I spent a few hours trying to make this work.

[MyPad]

Since you're running on just one timer, you would enumerate all the units (that are units) belonging to a certain player. If the unit has the starvation ability, and the food is greater than 0, then you deduct the amount of food by 1 and remove the ability from the unit. If the unit does not have the starvation ability, check if the food is greater than 0. If it is, just deduct the amount of food by 1; otherwise, add the starvation ability.

You need 2 separate per player unit groups...
Hungry_Units
Starving_Units
Add all units that consume food to Hungry_Units. When there is not enough food then you add the missing food to the number of units in Starving_Units. If this value is negative then pick the negative of the value worth of random units from Hungry_Units, give them starvation debuff and add them to Starving_Units. If the value is positive then you pick the value worth of random units from Starving_Units, remove the starvation debuff and then then remove them from Starving_Units group. If there is enough food then pick all units in Starving_Units, remove the starvation debuff and after processing all the units clear the Starving_Units group.
