but it keeps telling me that, no unit is detected...what do i do wrong?

 

[Adiktuz]

does it have locust? if yes, then that is the problem...

anyway, instead of using another group, you can directly add the dummy to the group on the first trigger...

 

[Gekigengar]

why? yes it has locust..but what is wrong with it ? sorry, i am not so good in this.

 

[Adiktuz]

why? yes it has locust..but what is wrong with it ? sorry, i am not so good in this.

well, you cannot pick units with locust... even triggers cannot do that...

anyway as I said, just add them to the group on the first trigger, after you create them, its more efficient that way... then on the second trigger, just pick every unit inside the group and do the other actions...

 

[Gekigengar]

alright i will try that out, +REP thx!

well, so you can pick a unit with locust in unit group?.. after adding them to a group?

 

[defskull]

Locust units can't be selected... ?
But can be selected using (Last created unit) action ?
Yeah, we ordered the dummy to Storm Bolt bla bla bla, that IS called as Selecting the unit

 

[Adiktuz]

I think you can pick them if they're already inside a group...

(basically if you already have the specific handle that points to that unit, you can "select" him using that handle like using Last Created Unit [though using LCU for a locust unit somehow has a limit, it bugs sometimes if used repeatedly]...)

basically,

• Unit Group - Pick every unit within PlayableMapArea

does not pick locust units

and to make them pickable using a group loop, you need to add them to a group right after their creation...

 

[Gekigengar]

i get it going!

but then, somehow if i destroy the unit group, for the 2nd cast, it doesnt work,

in my case, how do you destroy the unit group leak? and is there any other leak?

[Adiktuz]

dont destroy the group!!!... it does not leak because you always use that same group...

anyway you leak a point - (Position of (Picked unit))

do this:

• Set TempPoint_1 = ((Position of (Picked unit))
• Set TempPoint = (TempPoint_1) offset by (Random real number between 0.00 and 400.00) towards (Random angle) degrees)

and ofc, be sure to remove TempPoint_1 too... ^_^

oh, you also leak BloodPoint, you forgot to remove it at the end of the cast trigger

 

[Gekigengar]

okay thx!

 

[Maker]

well, you cannot pick units with locust... even triggers cannot do that...

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by *Player* and do (Actions)

That picks units with Locust

 

[Adiktuz]

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by *Player* and do (Actions)

That picks units with Locust

oh, don't know about that...

 

[defskull]

As I said earlier, it picks ALL units, Locust alike
Because you can see the action of picking can be done to the Dummy Unit and when we want to order the Dummy Unit to something else (Order Dummy to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt), this refers to the dummy unit itself (Locusted unit, of course)
