[Trigger] Detecting Current Training of a Unit

[RiotZ]

• Reset Queue
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Not equal to (Order(stop))
    • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Food cap) Less than or equal to (((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Food used) + ((Point-value of (Unit-type((String((Issued order)))))) x (Supply used by (Unit-type((String((Issued order))))))))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) using The old unit's relative life and mana
    • Set GPlayerGroup = (Player group((Triggering player)))
    • Game - Display to GPlayerGroup the text: You have reached yo...
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_GPlayerGroup)

This is designed to only detect unit production, problem is order with no target detects a lot of stuff it doesn't need too.

So I added the "Issued order not equal to stop" to narrow it down.

But how can I only run this functions when a unit is being made? Because in its current state it crashes my game when an AI player is giving orders with no target.

Use this to cancel training:

• Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById( GetTriggerUnit(), 851976 )

(851976 is the order id for cancel)

What exactly are you trying to do with this trigger?

You could save a boolean for every order that trains a unit:

• Custom script: call SaveBoolean(udg_hash, StringHash("footman"), 0, true)

and check it:

• Custom script: if HaveSavedBoolean(udg_hash, GetIssuedOrderId(), 0) then

That's really useful thanks.

And the design of the trigger is so you can't abuse a population cap with a squad system.

Ex. Unit 1 costs 1 pop, but have 6 members, so you can make it if you only have 1 pop available, but when it finishes it will use 6 pop because it has six members.

This is designed to stop you from building units past your pop cap.

Is it something similar to AoE 3 training units in batches ?

Yes exactly. Problem is I can't create a proper food limit with the Object Editor without using a dummy unit for every unit that is in a squad.

There is an action (function) that control the food supply:

• Actions
  • Player - Add 1 to Player 1 (Red) Food used

Have you tried it ?
