Enter/Exit Vehicles with Abilities

[Landmine]

I wish to have units gain the ability to enter a vehicle when 100x away, but when they are not, they lose the ability.
Giving the unit the ability is simple (when [triggering unit] is 100 away from unit add ability). The issue is removing the ability, as there is nothing I'm aware of that checks if a unit is '=>100' away from unit. I'm thinking of using a buff as a way to check distance (every X seconds, if unit has [buff] add ability else remove ability), but I'm wondering if there is a simpler way.

Periodic is the only way I can think to do it. I wouldn't do a buff I would just check the distance between the unit and the vehicle every x seconds to see if it's greater than or equal to 100 away. A buff would be messier in-game.

True, but I'm not finding anything related to checking the distance, like:

• if ((unit)'s distance from (unit2)) is greater than or equal to 101

This is the only thing close to being relevant:

• Unit - A unit comes within 100.00 of Main Battle tank 0001 <gen>

Of course that's only an event where a unit comes within 100 of the tank (IOW, it only checks when the unit gets closer, not farther).

Also, the use of Unit - A unit comes within... MUST have a pre-placed unit in the map, for referrence
Try base it off Devotion Aura, edit the buff
When unit gets that buff, that particular unit gains the ability of entering the vehicle
When it is far, it'll lose the buff, remove the ability
Use Event - Periodic Timer to check once every second
This is the simplest, I think

You can also use Unit Group action
Once every second, Pick every unit in radius of XXX around the tank
If picked unit is in radius, grant ability, if not, remove ability

The first set of triggers worked nicely up until here:

• If - Conditions
  • (Distance between p1 and p2) Less than 150.00

Could not find any way of doing this (apparently you can't convert points to integers/reals in any way/shape/form).
Plus, by the looks of it, it would only work for 1 unit, when there is a total of 6 (excluding other potential vehicles).

Look for "real comparison" in the conditions list and then look under Math - Distance Between Points

Comment again when you have actually tested it

 

[Landmine]

I tested it, and it did work. The one thing I found out, though, is that units being transported inside the vehicle still exist where they were placed, as if the vehicle passes by the loading area, the test text pops up (well, until I created the trigger to turn it off when boarded). +Rep
