Chaos Woes

[Mooglefrooglian]

So I am having a bit of trouble with the spell "Chaos"

It is very simple: a unit chaosed changes, but does not trigger an "enter region" event like creating a unit, which seriously messes up one of my triggers.

Assumably, I can simulate the enter through moving the unit to a place and back - but wait! The chaosed unit has some issues with not actually being the same variable. So I have to repick it.

Question then: what is the most efficient, lagless and foolproof way of doing this? I could create a group and constantly look in the place of this chaosed unit until I find the ID of the thing the chaos would change him into. I could add a wait in there, or add a loop. But tehre could also be units of the same ID, which would mess it up. So how then should I do it?

Don't use an enter region event? Just make your triggers run straight after the unit is changed...

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

Inefficient, but will have to do if no one else has anything to add.

 

[Element of Water]

It's not inefficient in the slightest. It's faster than your current method, in fact.

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

Not at all, since youd on't know my trigger it sets up a region called a "Light System"

On creation, it finds all the units in the area and gives them a bonus vision.

Then it just does it when they enter/leave. Much more efficient then readding the samer spell toe verything in the region .

 

[Element of Water]

No, it's not more efficient at all. If it's at very the start of the map, it all happens at the same time anyway...

Your not getting it.

This is a light system. it is CONSTANTLY on. As in always. It adds the skill when they enter, and removes it when they leave the region. I have multiple NON changing units. Your suggestion makes me run the add skill for every unit in the region despite the fact that 90% of them have already gotten the skill. I can't just run it once >.>

Ok then, run it once for all the units at map init, then after that just run it for units as they enter the region? With the chaosed thing, just detect when the spell is cast, then simulate the event as you said.
