[Trigger] Alliances

[Redeemer59]

So, I'm making a Vampirism-like map, and I'm wondering how precisely you make a player ally a group of players and un-ally another group. I would have thought this was straightforward, but using the following didn't really work.

• MythtoSpawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Nymph (Fey Builder)
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Ghost (Spirit Builder)
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Warlord (Giant Builder)
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Dune Runner (Beast Builder)
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All allies of Player 9 (Gray)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Make (Owner of (Triggering unit)) treat (Picked player) as an Ally with shared vision
        • Player - Make (Owner of (Picked unit)) treat (Owner of (Triggering unit)) as an Ally with shared vision
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All enemies of Player 9 (Gray)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Make (Owner of (Triggering unit)) treat (Picked player) as an Enemy
        • Player - Make (Owner of (Picked unit)) treat (Owner of (Triggering unit)) as an Enemy

(I deleted pieces of the trigger that weren't relevant to the question, this isn't the whole thing but it shouldn't matter)

My testers were kind of vague, but from what I can tell, it just didn't work. They did not ally the killing player when they died and they did not un-ally their former allies. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe it doesn't work because there's no Picked unit, but only a Picked player.

also, i think that setting your groups into a variable and then deleting it with the custom script is what your supposed to do.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Hmm... I'll try that, then. Thanks!
