[Solved] [Condition: Number of Units in Region Matching Condition] doesn't work with Locust

[Rektis]

I have a dummy unit with locust and a dummy ability called "DoorCloseOpenPrevention". I also have a trigger with a condition counting the number of units with that ability in a region, but it doesn't seem to consider units with locust.
Together, they're there purely to register that a gate has been killed, by being spawned onto the gate and then being checked whether it's there, but this doesn't work, because units with locust aren't counted, I think.

How can I check for (count) units with an ability in a region, if the unit has locust?

The condition is:

(Number of units in (Units within TempReal2 of TempPoint2 matching ((Level of DoorCloseOpenPrevention  for (Matching unit)) Equal to 1))) Equal to 0

No it doesn't work for Locust. A solution i use is to just remove the Locust ability from a Locust unit, it will still be untouchable but group enums will detect it anyway

Maybe you can remove locust ability from units who have it, then count units in region, then give back locust ability to units who need it. If there is no wait between these three actions, I guess it should be instant.

For locusted units, in order to enum them into a group, you need to use "units owned by player" or "units by name".

Well, I assume those dummy units don't have any special effect attached to them. So, another way of detecting them would be creating a new unit type in the object editor that does not have Locust ability, nor a proper model file. Players won't be able to select them, and they won't have HP bars either. Just don't forget to remove their icon from the minimap, and give invulnerability to them.

Locust and hidden units are removed from various game sub systems such as positional searches. They can still be enumerated by player, but not by area as they do not exist in any area as far as the positional system is concerned.

you can check if a gate has been killed using trig

why create a dummy for it?

 

[doom_sheep]

the simplest way to fix it is like this

• Events
  • unit enters playable map area
• Actions
  • add entering unit to UnitGroup

and in your condition later, check for "units in UnitGroup" and your area
