How come?

sadvisor · Nov 9, 2009

How come this trigger does what it's supposed to do (remove from the game all units with no playing owner) when I test the map via World Editor, but when I test the map online (with other dudes) the trigger doesn't do what it's supposed to do?

Trigger:

Check Units
- Events (not relevant)
- Conditions (not relevant)
- Actions
  - -------- -------------------------------- --------
  - Set FastGroup[1] = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) slot status) Not equal to (!=) Is playing))
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in FastGroup[1] and do (Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game)
  - Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_FastGroup[1])
  - -------- -------------------------------- --------
  - Custom script: call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

I use a similar type of trigger for my map, mine is slightly different of course:

Events
Conditions
Actions
- Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Spirit of Selection) and do (Actions)
  - Loop - Actions
    - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      - If - Conditions
        
        ((Owner of (Picked unit)) slot status) Equal to Is playing
        
        ((Owner of (Picked unit)) controller) Equal to User
      - Then - Actions
      - Else - Actions
        
        Unit - Remove (Picked unit)

I really hate using the "matching unit" stuff because I generally make mistakes in the logic when using it, as such I recommend using a method similar to above where you select each unit on the map, and then compare if the unit is owned by an active player, and remove the unit as needed.

Try running it under Map Initialization. There may be something preventing you from

Actions
- Trigger - run Check Units (ignoring conditions)

I have the same problem in my map,who is the killer.
The trigger works perfectly for my tests...but in Bnet it doesn't do anything.
Anyone know the answer?

ALiEN95 · Nov 10, 2009

maybe use not equal to user?
or try with multiple actions..

Yes exactly.That's the problem!

Take a look at it.Do you see anything wrong? No...
Then why it doesn't work?

PvSvN · Nov 10, 2009

well why do you have the event (every 1 sec) i dont get what you are trying to do unless a player leaves or at the start you want to remove the units that spawn at the start or a spec unit dies and you want to remove all the players units after
other than them i dont know why you would run that trigger

the trigger i made works on bnet or not

Well i create a villager for every player and then someone "killer" has to kill them.If they die(they have 3 lives) they are supposed to be defeated.So i defeat them and in order not to confuse the killer i want their units removed from game.Thus,i check every 1 sec,if their status is playing,if it is not i remove their units.

Am i clear?

What is this supposed to mean?
I didn't want to use it...Do you see any flaws in the trigger i use?

it means that there is no need to tun a trigger every 1 seconds of the game

player leaves the game
-remove units owned by triggering player....

I didn't mentioned it...but i combine this trigger with others...so it is fine for me.

Damage · Nov 10, 2009

Well, as I say, my trigger that I posted earlier works perfectly online and off.

You DO need to put a check in for "is User". Obviously, if you use mine, add temp unit groups and destroy after to clean leaks.

PvSvN · Nov 10, 2009

ok so let me get this right you at the start of the game to give each player 3 villages(lives) and if a hero dies then you kill one of the villages ? and if all 3 villages are dead then you play the game defeat for the player ? but ar the start off the game you want to remove all the villages so it doesnt mess up the killer ?

I remove the villagers not at the start of the game,but when they lose all of their lives.

So...the killer don't gets confused and and kills leaver players.

I said this after i had mentioned the trigger...and the question was kinda general,meaning that why these specific trigger don't work?Mine and sadvisor's.

EDIT:I am not willing to continue this conversation cause this is going off-topic.

How come?
