[Trigger] Drain single Unit in a group

[Sniperwolfes]

Hey,
I've been trying to script a boss who drains units, which are below 25%/10% life while marking them with a question mark when they are below 50%.
My problem is that as soon as one unit is marked, others won't be.
The drain works good (won't say perfectly since I don't think it's very well done) on a single unit.

Here is the map: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=112434&stc=1&d=1333121423


hoping for some help!

You should just post the problematic triggers rather than the map. You usually get help faster that way. A lot of Hive users might be browsing the forum at work or somewhere else where they don't have access to the editor, or just don't want to download the map and search for the problem.

Okay will do it!

The first trigger:

• Feed
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 350.00 of Arichnopha <PH> 0006 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • Feeding Equal to 0
    • (Percentage life of (Triggering unit)) Less than 50.00
    • (Triggering unit) Not equal to Arichnopha <PH> 0006 <gen>
  • Actions
    • Set UnitDanger = (Triggering unit)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Icy Spiderling <PH>

          • Then - Actions
            • Set Feeding = 1
            • Trigger - Turn on FeedTimer <gen>
            • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

UnitDanger is overwritten every time someone comes near the guy.... it only checks the one variable. How do you expect it to work

 

[Sniperwolfes]

Alright, worked a bit on it and it's functional now
The only problem I have is that the question mark isn't deleted, when a unit gets healed.

Here is the new trigger:

• FeedCheck
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 350.00 of (Position of Arichnopha <PH> 0006 <gen>)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Picked unit) Not equal to Arichnopha <PH> 0006 <gen>
          • Then - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • ((Custom value of (Picked unit)) Equal to 0) and ((Percentage life of (Picked unit)) Less than or equal to 40.00)
              • Then - Actions
                • Set UnitsInDanger = (UnitsInDanger + 1)
                • Set UnitDanger[UnitsInDanger] = (Picked unit)
                • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to 1
                • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
                • Set UnitSpecialEffect[UnitsInDanger] = (Last created special effect)
              • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • ((Custom value of (Picked unit)) Equal to 1) and ((Percentage life of (Picked unit)) Greater than or equal to 40.00)
              • Then - Actions
                • Set UnitDanger[UnitsInDanger] = No unit
                • Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to 0
                • Special Effect - Destroy UnitSpecialEffect[UnitsInDanger]
                • Set UnitsInDanger = (UnitsInDanger - 1)
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

Edit:
Ok I see the problem I have, but i don't know how to fix it!
The wrong UnitsInDanger Integer is used to delete the question mark. Any ideas on how I fix this?

 

[IsaacNewbton]

problem is when a unit leaves the radius, it does not -1 from your units in danger count. You need to use a unit group

 

[Sniperwolfes]

No idea why it isn't working.
Can someone tell me exactly where I made a mistake?

[InfinateAnswers]

Have you checked the most basic thing? Is the units fighting custom value = 0? if its not then of course this trigger doesnt work, it cant get past the second set of conditions.

 

[Sniperwolfes]

Yes but theres still no hope on my side :/

any more help?

 

[Sniperwolfes]
