Canceling Upgrades

[maddeem]

Does anyone know a way to cancel upgrades/researches after they have begun?

 

[shadowvzs]

ok if u mean canceling it with trigger during its already started then in my head have 2 way.

1. maybe with force keys if have a hotkey for cancel upgrade, idk if work coz dont test also maybe u can try re order the research, maybe its cancel, idk
2. pause unit and amybe recreate if needed (idk if order stop work or no but pause must work but then the building stoped too, so then u can recreate the building)

 

[maddeem]

I am currently doing way 1, I don't think pause will work, recreate would 100% tho, might as well try it ;p
But if the structure is upgrading to another then it will recreate the structure completed, not the older form.

for me this work

• Upgrade
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins an upgrade
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Game - Force (Triggering player) to press Escape/Cancel
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Triggering unit))

It has to be done in mass though, otherwise if you upgrade 2 buildings at once it wont work

I have recently solved this by replacing the unit and resetting the variables, thank you shadowvzs for your second suggestion.

Uh, you can also order the unit to cancel..

constant integer ORDER_cancel=851976


But if you'd rather replace the unit entirely and so on than just order it to cancel, w/e.

I tried that but the order fire too quickly and I would have to give it some delay, thanks for posting that though.

ok anyway u can use timer and hashtable for make delay, its mean save unit to hashtable where the key is the timerid then its work with 100 unit too even u upgrade same time

(i can do it if u want, but in jass only, in gui i am noob with handling timers without make add event for 1 trigger)

Yeah, use a 0.00 timer, then order the cancel.

 

[maddeem]

Could I just use a 0.00 periodic event add the canceling units to a unit group, pick em cancel em and turn off the trigger?

 

[Maker]

Yes.
