[Solved] Capturing a neutral building

[Kam]

I've been using this script for some time but it's not very reliable. Mechanical units don't always trigger it and wards do. It also captures and then an instant later uncaptures sometimes.

Triggers

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set Tower_Hash = (Last created hashtable)
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Capture distance --------
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Set Tower_Reals[0] = 256.00
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Set Towers = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Scout Tower))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Towers and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Capture Tower <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within Tower_Reals[0] of (Picked unit))

• Capture Tower
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Close
    • Set Tower_Temp_Loc_1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Tower_Temp_Group_1 = (Units within (Tower_Reals[0] + 32.00) of Tower_Temp_Loc_1 matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Scout Tower))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Tower_Temp_Group_1 and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Neutral Passive
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) and Change color
            • Hashtable - Save (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) as (Key owner) of (Key (Picked unit)) in Tower_Hash
            • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Towers_Owned
            • Trigger - Turn on Lose Tower <gen>

The mechanical bug:
The siege engine has larger collision size than the paladin. So it needs longer tolerance than 32 distance units.

The ward bug:
You could add some condition to the trigger, like unit classification, unit is not a summmoned unit.

The capture bug:
The enter the range of tower trigger uses x + y range. The periodic trigger uses x range. Therefore it might not detect the unit that entered the range.

Put the triggers in hidden tags.

Edit: Solved all three, thank you.

Would you mind looking at this?
