Freezing Units in Cinamatics

[buffaloomen]

Okay, I'm making some custom campaigns for my own enjoyment, and I've run into a problem, i need to find out how to make it so that all units except for the units involved in the cinematic disappear and so that two units from different teams do not fight each other, as well as having units stop when they enter a region, so they don't run far away from the camera if someone orders an attack move.

For the two teams not attacking i suppose there's the option to make them invulnerable or change their teams.

For example, if you've ever played Wanderers of Sorceria ( a personal favorite) Whenever they do the cut scenes (cinematics, whatever) after a battle, you don't have all the units you ordered to attack the enemy milling about, they've disappeared, teleporting them all would be impossible, as would killing them before the cinematic. The point is, How would i make the units teleport, leaving the key characters required for the cinematic?

just make a unit group
Unit group

• Set Teleported_Units_Group = (Units in Cinematic_Region matching ((unit type of matching unit unequal to Main Hero 1) and (unit type of matching unit unequal to Main Hero 2))
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in Teleported_Units_Group and do (actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Move (picked unit) instantly to (Away_Of_Cinematic_Region)

Hmm, I'll give that a go, but what do i do for stopping units in a region, i imagine its fairly simple.

 

[GIMLI_2]

create a region at the location where they haave to stop
then go in trigger editor and create a trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - a unit enters Your_Region
• Conditions
  • unit type of triggering unit equal to YOUR_UNIT_TYPE
• Actions
  • Unit - order (triggering unit) to move to position of (triggering unit)

dont forget to always set variables and remove leaks!

So, for multiple units would i make multiple triggers for stopping them, or multiple conditions?

just make a unit group
Unit group

• Set Teleported_Units_Group = (Units in Cinematic_Region matching ((unit type of matching unit unequal to Main Hero 1) and (unit type of matching unit unequal to Main Hero 2))
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in Teleported_Units_Group and do (actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Move (picked unit) instantly to (Away_Of_Cinematic_Region)

How do i do the 'and' part for the second part of the variable?
