[Trigger] Damage trigger

[Joe the nice]

How do I make a trigger that damages every non-mechanical unit on the map 1dam. every 3 secs?

Note: This will clean up the leak, you will need a unit group variable called ALG.

• Events
• Time - Every 3.00 seconds of the game
• Conditions
• Actions
• Set ALG = Units in Playable Map Area matching unit is Mechanical is equal to false
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in ALG and Set Life of Picked unit to life of picked unit - 1.00
• Custom Script: call DestroyGroup(udg_ALG)

If you want them to be damaged by a source, instead of setting their life to their life - 1, have a unit damage picked unit dealing 1 damage using Unit - Damage Target.

Donut, skip the group variable.

• Blah
  • Events
    • Time - Every 3.00 seconds of Game Time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick Every Unit in (Units in Playable Map Area) Matching ((Matching Unit) is Mechanical Equal to False) And do actions
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set Life of (Picked Unit) to ((Life of (Picked Unit)) - 1.00)

Bleh, I always forget that there's that alternative. By the way, why didn't they do that for all things that leak? Like set bjwantRemoveLocation = true?

Because it's a component of ForGroupBJ, so they'd have to code all location-using BJs to do it. When basically no one would use it, it would be wasting more speed than it would be worth.

You also tend to use the same location multiple times, but not the same group.

That's my theory anyways.
