Event Trackable?

[Ultimatony]

Is there a way to detect when a unit begins running at something to attack?

Moin moin =)

You mean something like this?:

if GetIssuedOrderId() == S2I("attack") then

(I'm little confused with your text and your title, because trackable is something different)

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object

This event should work.

Trackable as in detectable, I'm trying to make an in combat system.
And I don't want to wait till something is hit.

I thought that you wanted an event that tells when a unit is ordered to targeted to attack another unit....
please explain what you want in a bit more depth.

I want to detect, when someone walks too close to an enemy, and the enemy starts to run at them.

will this do?

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.60 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Point = (Position of UnitBeingRunAt)
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of Point) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(move))
          • (Picked unit) Not equal to UnitBeingRunAt
        • Then - Actions
          • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Picked unit))
        • Else - Actions
  • Custom script: call Removelocation(udg_Point)

I have ideas for the system itself, but will the order issued work to detect when they attack?

Unit acquires a target might work for you. In is in specific unit actions.

 

[Ultimatony]

So I would have to add that event to every unit on map?

 

[SA Dashie]

you can always change it so it detects different orders

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.60 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Point = (Position of UnitBeingRunAt)
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of Point) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            • Conditions
              • (Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(move))
              • (Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(attack))
          • (Picked unit) Not equal to UnitBeingRunAt
        • Then - Actions
          • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Picked unit))
        • Else - Actions
  • Custom script: call Removelocation(udg_Point)

edit
I think doing it this way would be better for that event.

• Trigger - Add to (This trigger) the event (Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of UnitBeingRunAt)

Would trigger through objects I'm pretty sure.


I'll try adding the event unit acquires a target

So, can I find out what the target is if I use that?

Event Response - Targeted unit
