[JASS] Get Built Unit

[Element of Water]

Say a unit ingame built a building using an ability based on the iteam Tiny Great Hall. How would i go about getting this unit? I've tried every way I can think of, but nothing works. If anyone knows of or can think of a way to do it, please offer your suggestions.

Constructed structure does not work. The building was built using an ability, not a build order.

>>Btw why do this thread is marked as [code=jass]?
I am a Jass user - I do not use GUI. I want the answer in Jass since I code in Jass so I mark my thread Jass... Simple as... I don't mind GUI answers, however - I'll convert them to Jass myself.

Maybe smth like

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Town hall)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Unit=picked unit

try summoned unit

@Day-Elven
That's one I tried already - it's not completely bugproof - there could be another within the area.

@Mechanical Man
Good idea, trying it out now.

EDIT: summoned unit does not work

You can use either of these to reference the unit. It is, as I suspected, still being constructed, even though it's build order is initiated by an ability...

For this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins construction

Use 'Event Response - Constructing Structure' as the ref. This will let you reference the unit when it is initially 'placed' for construction.

For this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes construction

Use 'Event Response - Constructed Structure' for this one to reference the unit upon its completion.

I've tested both, and they both work fine. I'll leave you to convert it to JASS, but in any case, I hope this helps you!

Why didn't I think of that? Thank you and +rep.

Ehm, didn't I write about the constructed structure in the second post of this thread?...

You could create a global unitgroup and check if unit is in unitgroup. If he isn't, set variable = unit and add unit to unitgroup.

You've missunderstood me in both cases xD

No, I haven't. At the beginning of the thread you said to put constructed structure in the trigger which detects the spell. That doesn't work. You need another trigger.

The Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions) doesn't work either because you don't know which unit in particular you're searching for. Yes you could search for a unit owned by the player, of the same type as the one being built, but you don't know if that unit is the one you just built or another one which was built before.

So I didn't misunderstand you. You were on the right path, but neither of those works properly. Dalaran Guard had it right. You did not.

It's written in the discription of the constructed unit what event you should use with it.
Both of the ways I written works properly in my maps. I've teated them many times.

I think it was just a miscommunication. No worries. You were right; no need to get worked up over it.
