Cant find condition for Constructing Unit.

[harkal]

Well, as the title says, i can't find any way to detect the unit constructing a structure.

My trigger goes:
-Unit begins construction.
-(I want to check if the constructing unit has a special item)
-"My actions"

Anybody know how to detect the constructing unit?

Impossible without a complex system. This is because buildings do not have to be started by a builder and can infact be started by any old unit.

Thus the only real way is to guess who builds a building via triggers.

How I did this was start by getting when an order to build a building is issued, and then knwoing that unit must build the building there. If a building is started construction at that point then it must be from that builder. You add other checks mike making sure the building is owned by the right player, that the building is the right type etc and you can obtain near 100% accuracy. The only thing my system failed to do was if more than one builder orderd the same building at the same point for the same player, then it would get one of the builders seemingly randomly and make it the constructor.

That would be the building

Ill try using your way Super Good, thanks for the suggestion.
