[Trigger] Ending a trigger in progress when a unit dies?

[celadon]

Hate to make my first post a cry for help, but I just can't seem to figure this out. I have a map with a 'boss event' that culminates when the boss is confronted in a room, and every 9 seconds she summons one of 7 nearby allies to assist her. I have her allies invulnerable and passive to start, and my trigger changes their owner to hostile, and orders them to attack the player in order with a 9 second wait in between. It's possible to kill the boss before all seven are summoned, and so I want to make it so they will stop coming. But I just cant seem to figure out how to do this. If there is some way to terminate the trigger once the boss dies, a tip on how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Make an trigger that looks like this:

EVENTS:
Time- Every .027 seconds of game time

ACTIONS:
If: Unit(boss) life = to 0.00

Than: Turn off (what ever trigger that summons the 7 guys)

Else: Do nothing

i already have the trigger turned off the minute the unit enters the region that starts it, are you sure turning it off in the middle will stop them from coming?

 

[VampireHeart]

Wait...so to start your trigger you turn it of? What the...

Vampire, using the periodic time every (xx) seconds event, you can use numbers as low as .01, only waits will be .27

 

[GhostWolf]

In your trigger add this (you are probably using If/Then/Else multiple actions, so add it in the If)

• If (((Your_Boss) is dead) Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)

And by the way, does the BOSS summon them or the trigger does ? because if its the boss it IS supposed to stop when he dies and that means you have some problem in your code if he doesn't.

Ah, i see i was told a while back that if you use .01 even in events it will lag terribly, but i guess not :/

 

[GhostWolf]

Lag is another thing.

What Just_Spectating meant was, that a timer CAN be set on 0.01+ but a WAIT action, even if you put it on 0.01-0.26 it will actualy wait 0.27 (which I don't really believe but no one asked me).

Worked like a charm, thanks so much ghost wolf. And Vampireheart, the way i've been using 'Trigger - turn off' is to make it so once my unit enters a region to start a trigger, entering the region again or remaining in the region wont cause the actions to happen more than once. I use 'turn off' as my first action and it does exactly what I want it to do, so I assume i'm right about it.
