efficient way to limit number of units picked?

[millzy]

when using

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (range of POINT matching bla bla bla bla) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

how can i limit the number of units

e.g when making a AoE entangle spell and using dummy units to cast entangle on the group of units. whats a good way so it will only cast the entangle on say 3 units instead of the 10 or so units in the group.
making max number of units the spell can hit 3

Before picking the units, set a variable to 0.
Then inside the loop put an IF. The condition is that your variable is under 3 or whatever you want the limit to be.
For action, do the entangle thing and after that increase your variable by 1.
For the else part you don't need anything.

Yes, as long as the trigger is instant.

You can also use "pick random N units from unit group"
