[General] Color Change for Specific Units

[Graciatus]

Hello,

I would Like to ask for help I'm making map where I have multiple "factions" under 1 Player specifically Lordaeron,Ironforge and Kul Tiras.
Wondering if there is any way to make trained units change color but only for specific ones for example player's color is Blue , but I'd like for trained Ironforge Units to be orange.
Now I've tried to tick Art- Allow Custom Team Color to true and even changed the color to specific one , it works when you put the unit in editor but not when you train them during gameplay.


Appreciate any reply in advance.

You would need to create a trigger to do this.

A basic one would be:

Event - A Unit Finishes Training
Condition - Trained Unit equal to (Dwarven Warrior)
Action - Change Colour of trained unit to orange.

Oh Thank you so much! I'll try this when I get home.

So I've cooked up this but it doesn't seem to do the trick could you please tell me if there is anything I need to switch? ^^

(Triggering unit) always refers to the first "unit" mentioned in the Event. So in this case the Event says:

A unit owned by Player 14 (Navy) finishes training a unit

So (Triggering unit) is referring to the building that produced your Footman.

But you need to rely on an entirely different function to get the Trained unit-type:

And then refer to the (Trained unit) in the Actions section:

• Actions
  • Unit - Change color of (Trained unit) to Orange

The final product:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit owned by Player 14 (Navy) finishes training a unit
• Conditions
  • (Trained unit-type) Equal to Ironforge Footman
• Actions
  • Unit - Change color of (Trained unit) to Orange
