[Trigger] Detecting Cargo Hold Capacity

[YAY_WOOT_YAY]

I have searched far and wide in the hiveworkshop Q's and cannot find this question:
How do you make a trigger where a condition is something like:
"Number of units in cargo hold/transport/etc.. equal to 1-x" I cannot find the condition that does that.
I need to make it so that only when there are no units in the cargo hold of a building/unit then only the trigger take effect.

Hmmm I never thought about that before..... I think there isn't a condition that checks that, but you could count units with a variable that increases/decreases each time a unit is loaded/unloaded (onto a certain transport vehicle).

Erm, when you say "decreases" and "unloaded"...I have tried:
-When ability "(The one where you get peons back to work)" is used do actions.-But what happens if the player just clicks on the portrait of their unit to unload them? The variable wont count the clicked ones.

Anyway you just said "There isnt a condition that checks that" but then you say "count with a variable each time it is loaded/unloaded". How can i check if a unit is loaded/unloaded if the question is "I need a condition (Or event) that counts when a unit exits a cargo hold".


Thanks for the advice though!

event
unit is issued an order without target
condition
issued order = unload

this is for clicked units

the other order string is 'standdown'
standdown exits all

use unit custom value of transporter to keep track of number of units which are loaded

ohhh thanks, except when i click the portrait of the unit to exit it still doesnt work.(The standdown one does though)lol, the main reason for this question is "how do i make it when i click the portrait" the condition counts it.
Any ideas?
-If not, then any ideas of how to disable "exiting the transport by clicking on the unit's portrait"?-but only exiting by using the ability-unload/standdown/etc..

Edit: Alright heres my trigger:
1:The unit IS a hvy mg/post
2:I have given the orc burrow abilities to the MG (Battle Stations/Cargo hold/Stand down)-Cargo holds 1 person only.(I have tried it with 2)
3:the game display is just there for me to check if trigger worked.
4:It only works when i click the stand down ability, not when i click on the unit's portrait. Plz tell me why.

• unload workers
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit is issued order to target an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) equal to (Order(unload))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set the custom value of (Ordered unit) to ((Custom value of (Ordered unit)) - 1)

I think i didnt tell you the whole story, sorry
You need 2 triggers you can just delete the unload condition from your first trigger and then make this one in addition
Dont set custom value to 0 on this event unless your transport can only load one unit
standdown quits all so 0 is right there

*Speechless*.Thanks! wow, i never knew!
"Issued an order TARGETTING AN OBJECT" lol... i always did no target because u arent really clicking twice lol. thanks so much!

 

[apocalypse_dude]

it automatically sets your transporter as target or something, its weird
but anyways it works
