Broken Event Function? (GUI)

[Rispetto]

I don't understand.. is this event broken or am I just losing my mind?

I can't get the event to work properly.
Don't bother trolling, I know for a fact it's not the actions and there are no conditions in my trigger.

/facepalm

 

[Muhahahahaaa]

your event always triggers even if it is not the owner of alpha? somehow you can't have an event on a specific unit, instead you have to use a condition - triggering player = owner of alpha

I figured out a work around.
I used "Player (Owner of (Unit attached to (Region - Alpha)) types a chat message containing..."
It seems to work.
Thanks though.

Do be warned that it does not create a link and as such it evaluates only at mapinitialization. If the owner changes, it will still only run the event for the orignal owner.

OH!
That would make sense.
I wanted it to work for current owner =P
Yeah it changes owner at the start of the map

Then you are after doing one of the following.
1. Everytime you change owner, you recostruct the trigger and its event.
2. You make the trigger run for everyone but you apply a condition to restrict the code execution to only when it was triggered by the owner player of that unit.

GetTriggeringPlayer should get the person who typed the message. Re evaluating the owner of the unit each run will always make sure it is correct. Comparing the 2 for equality will return if the trigger was run by the owner of the unit. Running code only if it is triggered by the owner of the unit will do exactly what you want.

Thanks.
But it seems my substitute automatically works with whatever is the current owner of the unit at the time of the trigger fire.
It's much easier than having conditions etc xD
