Any easy way to count number of units in transport?

[Pinzu]

couldn't find any group for that :>

 

[rulerofiron99]

Use Bribe's Unit Event (in spells section) to count when a unit enters or leaves a transport, then save this amount to an integer array, indexed by the transport's custom value.

 

[Pinzu]

if the custom value is free that is, well okey, got it.

 

[Chaosy]

Unit is loaded into a transport
Set integer + 1
SaveInteger(hashtable, gethandleId, 1, integer)

 

[Shoto]

This is basically what Chaosy suggested.

• Load
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is loaded into a transport
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set number = (Load 0 of (Key (Transporting unit)) from loadTable)
    • Set number = (number + 1)
    • Hashtable - Save number as 0 of (Key (Transporting unit)) in loadTable

However, there deosn't seem to be any event to track when a unit is unloaded from a transport... Wich means you can't track when units leave and this will inly track the total of units wich have been transported in a certain transport.

I'd suggest you use Bribe's Unit Event as RulerofIron said.

 

[Pinzu]

Guess it's about time I learn hashtables then...

 

[rulerofiron99]

That's why I said use the Unit Event. It can detect units being unloaded.

 

[Pinzu]

I could pick every unit near the unload area and compare them to the unit group from the added units, that system you refered towas to complicated for me to follow. :>

Load > add unit to group
Unload ability > pick every unit in area and compare them to the unload ability if they count as being in that area i could move them to a corner (*Looks away in shame.*)

Btw I dropped a suggestion in your spell Limit Attackers

 

[Shoto]

Hashtables are really convinient, i'm currently learning about them myself. I have a basic understanding but man, it has taken my triggering to a new level to say the least.

 

[Ender]

all you need to do is import Bribes Event into your map and then do

• Unit Group -CountUnits in CargoTransportGroup[(Custom value of Transport)]

to determine the number of units in a transport.
