[Trigger] Auto-Train Trigger?

[Zaeden]

Hello!
I'm working on a map that is basically a "Preschool-Like" map. It requires a system where a producer building (such as a Barracks) will automatically train units (Such as Footmen) without the player needing to click the button to train the Footman manually.

However, anyone who has ever played a Preschool map, knows that it can sometimes be a pain to click "cancel" 8 times rapidly to upgrade a building. My goal is to set up so that when you finish constructing a Barracks, the Barracks immediately begins training 2 Footmen in the queue.

As for the Auto-Train, I was wondering if it was possible to have the structure ordered to train an additional unit as soon as the first Footman was finished training, and not on a set interval.

Example of my original Auto-Train Trigger:

What I have at the moment:

What I currently have is an unfinished trigger. I was wondering how I order the building to construct a Marine as soon as the first Marine finishes training. As a result, that would leave a never-ending loop of Marine production until canceled (once canceled, it is canceled until reactivated.)

If anyone could help me out on the Auto-Train portion of this, I'd be extremely grateful

I think the (Triggering Unit) is the building that trained it, so you should be able to use that with Order (unit) to Train/Upgrade To (bleh)

Maybe if you created a periodic trigger. Event- Every (amount of time it takes to train 1 marine) seconds
Condition- "Unit variable" is alive equal to true *If the building isnt in existance at the start of the game making process and you cant set the building to a variable, have another trigger that when a unit starts to build that building it sets the variable and when the building finishes construction, turn this trigger on.
Action- Create 1 marine for owner of "unit var" at position of "unit var"

Then make a separate trigger Event: Unit begins an upgrade
Condition: Triggering unit = "unit var"
Action: turn off the trigger above

Then ANOTHER trigger Event: Unit finishes upgrade or unit cancels upgrade
Condition: Triggering unit = "unit var"
Action: Turn on the first trigger

• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to train/upgrade to a Footman

That should do it for ya. A couple of side-notes for your triggers, though:

1. In marine finish, if I am not mistaken, the 'pick every...' loop is entirely unnecessary.
2. I think that using 'center of (region)', as at the end of marine finish, causes leaks. It creates a point that needs to be removed if you don't want lag, etc.

• Retrain
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Footman
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to train/upgrade to a Footman

I think that might do the trick.

It would be better to do this, tool

• Retrain
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to train/upgrade to a (Unit-type of (Trained Unit))

No, because you would need a Structure = to true which would be the barracks... Because if you didn't, wouldn't it then have bugs?

What else could be training things?

If there's one specific thing, just say Not Equal to (that specific thing) in the conditions
