Event: Life of [VARIABLE] becomes... ? Not possible? Workarounds?

[Jesaja]

Hey there,

another short question today..

I want to make a trigger, that should start, when a units health drops below 200. I want the trigger to start every time when the units health drops below the 200 border.
But since the Unit will be a randomized Hero, it is not set in the WE from start.

Somehow i cant put variables into the "Units life becomes..." event, whats wrong there? any workarounds?

Hmm, is this what are you looking for?

Trigger - Add to (Trigger) the event (Unit)'s life becomes Less than 50.00) [/stable]

Upon creating the randomized hero, save it in a unit variable.

• Unit - Create Unit blabla
• Set YourVariable = LastCreatedUnit()

Then in the event for the trigger you were working on, try:

• Unit - YourVariable's life becomes less than 200

@Linaze: that is exactly the problem, it doesn't work.
GUI doesn't allow this, and if you try it in JASS, then it won't work either because the event is created before the variable has a value (and it will only work with the initial value of that variable, not the current value).

UndeadImmortal's option is a good one.

i had the same problem when i was making a minigame for my map. there are a few workarounds but undead immortals response is the easiest. especially for GUI

    • -------- if you want to save the unit --------
    • Trigger - Add to (Your trigger) the event (Unit - (Last created unit)'s life becomes Less than 200.00)
    • -------- that adds the trigger you made "without any event first" for the last created unit when it's life comes less than 200 --------
    • -------- use last created unit in the trigger [or any kind of unit event you want] --------

Why do you assign a variable if you are not using it?

 

[T. D. W.]

If he needs the unit "if you read the comments"

If he needs the unit "if you read the comments"

He probably read the comments, those comments don't mean much. That variable is just confusing.
You either create the variable and use it, or don't create it at all. Don't half-ass it.

It comes to him, if he wants the unit then he will store it if not he won't

It comes to him, if he wants the unit then he will store it if not he won't

And that is exactly why it's confusing >__>. If he wanted to store it, then he could make a variable himself. No need for you to tell him that, especially not since it hasn't got anything to do with your trigger.
Well, that discussion is closed though .

Yh but what is that variable thingy that needs so much to argue -_-

"So much" is an overstatement: we just told you to not do that, that's it .
Same thing if someone uses "Do Nothing", for example: we just say "don't do that" and it's done.
Of course, if that user starts arguing back, then we need to explain it a bit more.
