[Trigger] Hatch Eggs ability

[Xzife_TD01]

I have an ability called Hatch Eggs, which is used to, you guessed it, hatch eggs. This map i am working on atm has five different types of eggs, living eggs, dead eggs, infected eggs, wood eggs, and gold eggs. I want to make a trigger that, when Hatch Eggs is cast (which is by the way, based off of war stomp, if that helps) it will destroy every egg within 250 of the caster, and spawn something according to the type of egg destroyed. Also, the eggs should only spawn these things if they die from the hatch eggs effect.

Living Eggs spawn allied units when hatched.
Dead Eggs spawn corpses when hatched.
Infected Eggs spawn enemy units when hatched.
Wood Eggs add wood to the player's stock when hatched.
Gold Eggs add gold to the player's stock when hatched.

Thanks to anyone who can help me make this trigger!

I'm having to guess this from memory.

Stick all eggs, existing and created into a unit group variable.

Event - A unit casts an ability

Conditions - Ability is equal to (Hatch Eggs)

Actions -

/-Pick group and actions-/
Pick every unit in /-unit group-/ (every unit in 250 range of (casting unit)) matching /-boolean I think-/ unit is in /-unit group variable-/ (Eggs)
then- kill (picked unit)
else - whatever



Another trigger with a 'when a generic unit dies',

Put five 'if,then,elses' in the trigger each with the unit-type condition 'unit type is equal to (insert egg unit type here)'
then,
remove (triggering unit) from /-unit group-/ (Eggs)
and
(whatever action you want, like 'create 5 footmen at position of (triggering unit) for Player 1.

Rinse and repeat for other four 'if,then,elses'.

That's what I'd do anyway, but I don't have a lot of mapping experience. Think that covers it.

[Xzife_TD01]

most of the trigger looks good, but why set temp_point to a location, then remove the location an action later without using the location for anything?

 

[spiwn]

I use it ...
Look carefully, in the lines between set and custom script

 

[Xzife_TD01]

idk, i cant get it to work, iv been looking around for like 2 hours trying to figure out whats wrong. Ill post the map so people can look through it, maybe someone can figure out whats wrong. Oh and just so u know, its a campaign, so you cant go to custom game when opening it.

 

[spiwn]

This one got me.
Too lazy to examine carefully, but it seems it is an issue with that being a campaign(NO idea what I am talking about, haven't done any of those )
P.s. Why did you attach Bug Campaign.w3x it is sort of empty without the campaign.

 

[Xzife_TD01]

I attached it because its part of Carathid Campaign.w3n. I thought you would need it or the campaign would work right or something.

 

[spiwn]

Bug Campaign.w3x is sort of empty(no triggers, no custom objects). (maybe that is the reason; don't know, I don't do campaigns, yet)
All of these are in the campaign.

I'd just like to add, on top of all the things you've just said and mention the names of your egg hatching... thing...

Living Eggs spawn allied units when hatched.
Dead Eggs spawn corpses when hatched.
Infected Eggs spawn enemy units when hatched.
Wooden Eggs add wood to the player's stock when hatched.
Golden Eggs add gold to the player's stock when hatched.

Should be correct usage of grammar, but hey, what do I know? I'm freggin Swede
