An item or a unit within range

[micca]

I need to do something quite complicated I can't figure out on my own. The thing is, a unit is moving and I need to check whether an item or a unit, whichever is possible or easier (item would be better though), comes within a range of the unit. The action "A unit comes within a range" is for specific unit only and I need it in general.

Thanks for any help.

For units use :

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Footman = Footman 0001 <gen>
    • Trigger - Add to Trigger 2 <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Footman)

• Trigger 2
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • -------- Do your stuff here--------

As for items :

• Trigger 3
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Distance between (Position of YourUnit) and (Position of YourItem) Equal to 256.00
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • -------- Do your stuff here--------

Thank you very much! I didn't realise you can actually add events via triggers

Be aware that using the distance between points in the condition like that means you cannot clean the 2 point leaks. (Things That Leak) You will need to move that check inside the actions to be able to clean the leaks.

You can also periodically select units in range yourself with "Pick all units ...".
