Best way to refference this unit?

[Bond009]

I create a unit in 1 trigger and need to reference the owner of that created unit in another trigger, keep in mind this unit has a timed life spam.
And this will need to work for multiple players at once so MPI not necessary to be MUI i guess though, but wouldn't hurt.

• Trigger - Add to Damage Trigger <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 200.00 of (Last created unit))

You could use Owner of (Triggering unit)? Oh now I see why, I suck at GUI...

 

[Daffa]

Would you specify why the range is checked?

 

[Derdan]

You can use a variable with the Add New Event action. I might not be understanding your question, though.

^Nope, if the unit changes owner, the variable doesn't change. Use a variable for Condition checking and for the events, add all players to it.

Wrathion is right and his idea is most likely the easiest and most efficient one to do.

 

[Bond009]

• Damage Trigger
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to False
    • ((Triggering unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False
    • ((Triggering unit) is An Ancient) Equal to False
    • ((Triggering unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause (the unit?) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing 500.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

when any unit comes within that 200 range of the unit added to this trigger that triggering unit should be damaged from the owner of that unit from the event even when i was going to do a unit comparison with a variable i dont really have a way to tell what player owns the unit though.

No create a generic unit event. unit enters region. Then with the conditions filter out the units you don't want to be damaged.

 

[Bond009]

that would probably be more work than its worth :/ this unit is always moving so i would have to constantly update the area location of this made region. easier to have it be units that get within range of this moving unit. just sucks there is no easy way to reference this unit they are getting within range of, you would think blizzard woulda made something for this situation...

 

[deathismyfriend]

I don't see why the unit moving is a problem...
It will work fine if you do what i said above.

 

[Bond009]

eh i see what your saying.. just have a condition that specifies the 200 range of that unit. too tired cant think can u show example? lol

Real - Distance Between Points. Make sure to clean leaks.

To tell if there is at least one unit in range of another, create a unit group that includes all the units in a range of X of point A and count to see if it is greater than 0.

Hm.. Yes it does suck.

He wants to reference the unit being approached by the unit coming in range, not count the number of people here and there. Group Enumerations are inaccurate even if you find out who's nearest or farthest, that person is still not the unit whom you approached.
