How to get gold back after finish building a unit?

[GoblinShoD]

Hi!
My question is simple. I got a building that can build a unit of the type structure (A structure building a castle that increases spawns), and it costs 5000 gold to make it. Now I need some kind of trigger that gives me the 5000 gold back when I finish the construction of the unit/structure.

I tried some simple triggering, but unfortunatly without success. I might not be so good with explaining, but if you wonder anything just ask

Thanks for your time and patience,
+REP will ofcourse be given to the one that helps me

Is this what you were looking for?

• FinishConstruction
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Town Hall
  • Actions
    • Player - Add 5000 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold

Note that Triggering unit refers to the unit that has finished construction.

I think that was what I tried myself. But, I will try again just incase. Imma newbie so I might have done something different

EDIT: It doesnt seem to work. Nothing happens at all really.. Btw, the best thing would be if you could make a trigger about the unit thats constructed, and not the structure thats constructing it. If you understand what I mean.. I want to be able to make several different buildings from one main building, all gives different amount of gold back.

Hope its not too much of a problem for you :/

Maybe you used training a unit?
try - Event - unit finished training a unit

the posted trigger should work....

Do like Watermelon said, but replace

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Town Hall
with
(Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Footman

The thing is that the trained unit is not a unit, its a structure. Dont know if it matters.

EDIT: Tried all of the combinations now, none seem to work. I think the problem is that im "training" a unit that is infact a structure. I know tihs is much to ask, but could any of you try it on a new map and post it if possible?

GoblinShoD, tell me what do you want to achieve again. Building a structure has nothing to do with Training a unit. So, you want everytime you build a building to return the gold it costed, when its construction finishes?

Once again you're here to help me
To answer your question: Almost. I want that everytime my structure trains a unit of type structure, it returns the gold to me when its construction finishes Do you understand what I mean?
I want a castle to train a barrack for 5000 gold, when the construction/training is finished, it should return the 5000 gold again

The trigger:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • ((Trained unit) is A structure) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Trained unit)'s stand animation
    • Player - Add 5000 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold

The map:
View attachment Train Structure.w3x

Forgot to add gold to Player 1 (Red). Use greedisgood to train the Ziggurat.

Does that work with different structures aswell? I mean, if I build barrack(1) for 5000 gold, and barrack(2) for 7000 gold? Or cant that trigger see the difference between the structures it is training?

This trigger, no, it can't. You need to set array variables for this. Use 2 variables with array, one will be Unit-type and the other Integer. Then:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Units[1] = Barracks (1)
  • Set Units[2] = Barracks (2)
  • Set Units[3] = Apothecary
  • Set GoldCost[1] = 2000
  • Set GoldCost[2] = 5000
  • Set GoldCost[3] = 6500

• One
• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
• Conditions
  • ((Trained unit) is A structure) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Animation - Play (Trained unit)'s stand animation
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Units[(IntegerA)]
        • Then - Actions
          • Player - Add GoldCost[(IntegerA)] to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold
        • Else - Actions

Perfect! And it works like a charm Only tried it on one building and with one Player yet, but I daubt I will find any problem with other teams ^^ Once again you do it Pharaoh_! Will +rep you as soon the "you need to spread your reputation"-thing passes
