[General] <Area> contains (Triggering Unit) does not work

[Nordmar]

Hello,
I want to trigger an action as soon as a hero dies in a certain place. The trigger:

Event: A unit dies
Condition: <Area> contains (Triggering Unit) Equal to True
Action: Display to (All players) the text: test

The hero is definitely dying in the area so what's wrong?

maybe you have the wrong area?

or maybe you should change triggering unit to dying unit(that that shouldn't really be the problem)

Post the trigger.

No, like I already wrote. I don't have the wrong area.

• Playerdeaths Level 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Level 1 Area <gen> contains (Dying unit)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: debug

It works with any other area but not with the one I want.

/edit: I did some testing: It works when I move the region more to the left (LOL). This is complete bullshit again and a new bug but whatever.

/edit2: Deleting and creating a new region has the same effect. For some reason it doesn't work where the region is placed.

/edit3: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet the right region is "Level 1 Area". When I move the area to the left, where the other region is, it works. I can also remove the other region and it still works.

/edit4: I tried to make the region very small, because maybe it's the size? but this also doesn't work. The region starts at x = 4800, y=5300 if this is important.

This might be a stretch but with regards to moving the region a touch to the left, it may have something to do with this: Accurate movement between waypoints/ regions (4 bugs you should be aware of).

I replicated your above trigger and the only time it didn't work for me was when my hero died in the region. I soon discovered that this was caused by the hero being instantly revived and moved to another point in the map; I disabled the revive trigger and it worked as expected. I'm not sure if this is applicable to your problem but it might be one less issue to deal with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is the map 480*480? Anything bigger than the largest standard map size might be subject to various kinds of bugs as it is technically not supported.

Ugh...that was the problem. Thanks for the help.

Cool but which one was it?

 

[Nordmar]

the latter, it calls the revive trigger first.

Ahhh sweet. Glad I could help.
