Alarm trap (pings enemy once approached)

[Thunderbuff246]

I'm working on a game that involves traps atm... and one of the traps is an alarm trap.

The alarm traps functions are to every 10-20 seconds or so to ping the map on the location of every enemy unit within 512.00 of my alarm trap... i need this to be multi-applicable... so every player can make a multitude of these.

Thanks in advance

maybe you show your trigger, or didnt u start with anything? (i mean as u said, u want to make it MUI).

Tipp: Try to use units as your traps, then pick every trap in a trigger and check if there are enemies in an area of 510 around it

I currently don't even know where to start.... : \...
I got the unit made already... and that parts all good... i was attempting giving a buff to those who get close enuf and then pinging those units with the buff on the map for u... but the triggering part skrewed me up and over

Shouldn't be hard
First make a dummy aura that has a custom buff, than set the range to 512 (or whatever range you want)
2. Make a trigger
event - every 10s of the game
action - pick every unit in playable map matching (matching unit has {your custom buff here}) and ping whatever...
blah...blah..blah...(whatever else you want to do)
