[Trigger] Being attacked / Attacking.. Help?

[hackbooy123]

I want it so when test_caster attacks or is attacked the variable increases by 1. That's it

Somebody knows why this isn't working?

Thanks.

      • Then - Actions
        • Set test_var = (test_var + 1)
      • Else - Actions

First off this isn't nessecary:

• Or - Any (Conditions) are true
• Conditions
• (Attacking unit) Equal to test_caster

Second, are you sure that test_caster is set properly.
I don't see why this shouldn't work.

Then it only triggers on being attacked? :s

I set the test_caster by doing this:

• Bs activateTriggers
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Bloodscent
  • Actions
    • Set test_caster = (Learning Hero)

Could you change this: (Learning Hero) to triggering unit?
Also, what is the initial value of test_var?

Then it only triggers on being attacked? :s

Ow yeah sorry, I overlooked that, but I meant you don't have to use the OR, you can simply add another condition in there if nessecary.
Unnessecary code should be avoided.

Yeah I could try that, and the inital value is "No Unit".

Ah okey, I'll try that too! ^^
But this will have to wait until tomorrow, getting pretty late here..

Thanks alot for your help, I'll come back tomorrow and let you know how it goes!

Your trigger was requesting both the attacked and attacked unit be the test caster.

Wow, how did I miss that xD

But it's "or".. Doesn't that mean it only needs one of the conditions to be true? :O

EDIT: I put the conditions in as it showed in your trigger and it works perfectly now, thanks!

Both should be in the OR block because else it would not compare the 2 conditions with each other. Yes, or means if one of the conditions are true then it should execute the trigger.

In your example:

• (Attacked unit) Equal to test_caster
• Or - Any (Conditions) are true
• Conditions
• (Attacking unit) Equal to test_caster

You are basically saying that the trigger should only be executed when Attacked unit equals test_caster.
If this is false the trigger will not be executed.
The OR block will be ignored unless you put the Attacked unit condition within the OR block, meaning the trigger will now be executed if one of the 2 conditions are true.

Yeah I understand how it works now but logically it makes more sense to me if it goes "Is attacked OR Is attacking".. ^^ But thanks for explainging
