For each integer question

[Igor_Z]

Hey guys, i made a trigger for my spell that creates many units at the targeted point.. Now i want when something happens to remove them. When i use Unit - Remove Mist_of_Dust_Units[3,4 or 5] it obviously removes only 1 unit. And i don't know how to remove them all... Help me plz, +rep. Here is the trigger:

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dust Effect1 for (Owner of Mist_Of_Dust_Units[1]) at Mist_Of_Dust_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Mist_Of_Dust_Units[3] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dust Effect2 for (Owner of Mist_Of_Dust_Units[1]) at Mist_Of_Dust_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Mist_Of_Dust_Units[4] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dust Effect3 for (Owner of Mist_Of_Dust_Units[1]) at Mist_Of_Dust_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Mist_Of_Dust_Units[5] = (Last created unit)

The dust Effect1,2,3 are dummies

you make another loop
then place

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Remove Mist_of_Dust_Units[(Integer A)] from the game

You can find the Integer A in the
Function: For Loop Integer A

Hmm, but would i be able to remove them if i place: Unit - Remove Mist_of_Dust_Units[(Integer A)] from the game in another trigger not in the same 1?

 

[nerovesper]

yes, but don't forget to add that "For each integer" action, to make that action loop.


btw, you can set the one you made to this.

• For each (Integer A) from 3 to 5, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dust Effect1 for (Owner of Mist_Of_Dust_Units[1]) at Mist_Of_Dust_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Mist_Of_Dust_Units[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit)

The action above will create the unit 3 times because it starts from 3 then that integer A array will loop till it hits 5.

I just copied the contents of your loop. Yours seems to start from 1 to 10. which means yours will create 3 units every loop which will loop 10 but it overrides the variables Mist_Of_Dust_Unit[3][4]and[5] over and over again.

I don't understand some points of the question though. xD

Hmm, u know what i need right? I've made a spell that creates 30 dusts at a point... I want to remove them when something happens.. For example when my unit casts another spell those dusts to disappear... Btw: For each(Integer A) from X to Y do (Actions) and then remove my units, i think that will malfunction with some other triggers that have for each integer A actions.. Explain if u can plz

you should have done it like this create a new group named Mist_Of_Dust_Group

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 30, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dust Effect1 for (Owner of Mist_Of_Dust_Units[1]) at Mist_Of_Dust_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to Mist_Of_Dust_Group

Then remove them like this

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in Mist_Of_Dust_Group and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game

Or if you really want the units to be set on the variables

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 30, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dust Effect1 for (Owner of Mist_Of_Dust_Units[1]) at Mist_Of_Dust_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Mist_Of_Dust_Units[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit)

The loop above will create 30 units and will set them in variables.
Mist_Of_Dust_Units[1]
Mist_Of_Dust_Units[2]
Mist_Of_Dust_Units[3]
.
.
Till it reaches the max loop
.
Mist_Of_Dust_Units[30]

I think in your trigger your array starts from 3 right?

• For each (Integer A) from 3 to 33, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dust Effect1 for (Owner of Mist_Of_Dust_Units[1]) at Mist_Of_Dust_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Mist_Of_Dust_Units[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit)

The loop above will create 30 units also but will set them in variables
Mist_Of_Dust_Units[3]
Mist_Of_Dust_Units[4]
Mist_Of_Dust_Units[5]
.
.
Till it reaches the max loop
.
Mist_Of_Dust_Units[33]

from

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 30, do (Actions)

to

• For each (Integer A) from 3 to 33, do (Actions)

Both actions above will loop 30 times but the one with the 3 will start its loop from number 3 which your array variable starts with.

then to remove them create another loop like this

• For each (Integer A) from 3 to 33, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Remove Mist_of_Dust_Units[(Integer A)] from the game

SOrry if it isn't clear for you. I'm terrible at explaining stuff. xD
