Don't you need a condtion

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Charmer

cos im guessing the replaced unit is a hero and its not getting moved ?

CloudWolf · Nov 24, 2009

Where you have triggers like:

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Argonian

Should this be (Replaced Unit)?

The (Triggering unit) is the unit which started the event, which in this case is the unit who entered the region, and not the newly created unit

Hope this helps!

Bloodbane7 · Nov 25, 2009

No, maybe I wasnt clear enough-
When a hero enters this region, it is replaced with the charmer, and then moved instantly. Then depending on which hero entered the region (example: Argonian, High Elf, Imperial, ect...) it should give it the ability under the "Then-" Action Loop.

And no CloudWolf it wouldnt because the triggering unit isnt the replaced one; well it is kinda but it is supposed to represent the unit that has replaced the last one (or what I'm trying to give)

Maker · Nov 25, 2009

Remove the wait. That will fix it. It's useless anyway.

Bloodbane7 · Nov 25, 2009

K ill try it

EDIT:
It still doesnt work, the newly replaced unit doesnt get the ability.

PvSvN · Nov 25, 2009

test
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters Choose Imperial Warrior <gen>
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) Equal to Argonian
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Charmer using The new unit's max life and mana
      - Unit - Add Argonian Evasion to (Last replaced unit)
      - Unit - Move (Last replaced unit) instantly to (Center of Palace Exit Outside <gen>)
    - Else - Actions

This works how you want it to

or this works too like i said

Melee Initialization
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters Choose Imperial Warrior <gen>
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Chamer
  - ((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) is A Hero) Equal to True
  - (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
- Actions
  - Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Chamer using The new unit's max life and mana
  - Unit - Move (Last replaced unit) instantly to (Center of Palace Exit Outside <gen>)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Argonian
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Add Argonian Evasion to (Last replaced unit)
    - Else - Actions

doom_sheep · Nov 25, 2009

im guessing you can't check the type of triggering unit if you replaced him already.

make a ability type variable and set that instead of adding the ability. then move the replace to below the checks and make it add [the variable] ability to last replaced unit.

Maker · Nov 25, 2009

I tested with a trigger like this:

Untitled Trigger 108
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters Region 004 <gen>
- Conditions
  - ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  - (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
- Actions
  - Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
  - Unit - Replace (Entering unit) with a Mountain King using The old unit's relative life and mana
  - Unit - Move (Last replaced unit) instantly to (Center of Region 005 <gen>)
  - Camera - Apply Camera 001 <gen> for (Owner of (Last replaced unit)) over 0.00 seconds
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Paladin
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Add Banish to (Last replaced unit)
    - Else - Actions

And it worked...this basically the same you and PvSvN have.

idodik · Nov 25, 2009

Hmm.
Just to be sure, you could try to save the unit-type of the entering unit to a variable and then using it later.

Bloodbane7 · Nov 25, 2009

I don't know then people, it doesnt, I repeat, This doesnt work for me-
I don't know why it doesnt work for me, and yes its basicly the same thing.

EDIT:
How would I create a variable for the new replaced unit?

Damage · Nov 25, 2009

*sigh*

I'm amazed how some people haven't noticed the problem here.

When you replace the unit, the unit is now "lost" and the game -CANNOT- tell what that unit was / is - because it's GONE.

No method of "entering unit" or "triggering unit" or anything like that will work.

Instead, use a Variable method as described by idodik.

Set UnitType = (Unit Type of (Triggering Unit))

Then use all your If/Then/Elses using that variable, and not a temporary unit reference such as triggering unit.

EDIT: doom_sheep and Maker seem to know how to solve this also. Listen to their solutions.

Variable for the old replaced unit-type:
Step #1:Go to the variable menu (the big green X at the top of the trigger editor).
Step #2: Create a variable of type Unit-type, call it as you wish (we'll use for example the name CharmerType).
Step #3: Before you replace the unit insert the following action:

Set CharmerType = (Unit-type of (Triggering Unit))

Step #4:
Instead of the following condition

((Unit-type of (Triggering Unit)) equal to WTF)

Use this:

(CharmerType equal to WTF)

Variable for the new replaced unit:
Make the action after the replacement of the unit and change it to:

Set CharmerType = (Unit-type of (Last Replaced Unit))

PvSvN · Nov 26, 2009

i've uploaded my test map cos you keep doing the same thing over and over like i said before all you need to do it add the condtion in the right place

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Chamer

just open and test it then move the hero to the right and it all works how you want it to

damage you are wrong about it not knowing what hero type after its been replaced just test my map then you will see its wrong

That's not completely true. I first though of that, but decided to test it.

Untitled Trigger 109
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters Region 004 <gen>
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
  - Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Region 005 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

^That actually works, even though the triggering unit is removed. However if you add wait between remove and create, it won't work anymore.

Damage · Nov 26, 2009

It will work with a function immediatly after, but even a wait of 0.01 seconds causes it to forget.

And running all those If/Then/Elses may take longer than the sort of "reference cut off point".

I know how to create a variable, I'm just un-sure as to what to set it as. I need the variable to be the "NEW" unit that replaces the old one, but I dont know if "Last Replaced Unit" will work because it sounds as if it is refering to the "OLD" unit, So your saying that the "Variable for new replaced unit" will do this? I'm not at home today for Thanksgiving, but I will be tomorrow.

"Last Replaced Unit" is what you're looking for.
You can read its description if you don't trust me.
