How to get the unit that is being trained

[deathismyfriend]

I am having a problem getting the unit that is being trained with the event EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_START

I tried GetTriggerUnit() but it keeps returning the unit that is doing the training not the unit that is being trained.

I also have to get the unit that is canceled by the player in EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_CANCEL

Any help is appreciated.

I think you are out of luck. As one can cancel the training of any unit in the queue, there is no way of telling which unit was cancelled.

EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_START returns the unit doing the training not the unit being trained

 

[deathismyfriend]

EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_START returns the unit doing the training not the unit being trained

That is what i said above.

Ya i think so too. I haven't found any alternatives to it.

Thanks though

I also had the same problem.. and I came to no result after many tries.

But for me, I found another way to avoid this which is working for my map, so maybe you could explain what exactly you wanna do.

The unit being trained doesn't exist yet when you have TRAIN_START or TRAIN_CANCEL. It is just queued up. It doesn't exist until after TRAIN_FINISH (i.e. the training bar has completed, thus creating the unit).

This native might help you:

// EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_START
// EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_CANCEL
constant native GetTrainedUnitType takes nothing returns integer

And if you use the event TRAIN_FINISH, you'll use this:

// EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_TRAIN_FINISH
constant native GetTrainedUnit takes nothing returns unit

That worked perfect purge thanks. That saved one of my systems i believe.

Sad part is i saw that native and didn't even try it.

Thanks a lot.

Edit: Can't rep you atm but i will rep when i can.
