How to Make Meat Wagon with Exhume to Spawns Random Corpse from set of unit types?

[Map Designer]

Hello,

I have tried this trigger and screen will freeze as soon Meat wagon spawn 1 unit.

• ExhumeCorpse
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is dead) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Simple Hint message: ANIMATE DEAD
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Peon using The old unit's relative life and mana

Is my best option to just remove the unit from the game and then drop a dead peon beneath the wagon and ask him to gather the corpse? but that might interrupt the command.

I tried here, and my trigger refuse to create dead corpse but only create alive one. Here is the trigger:

• ExhumeCorpse
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is dead) Equal to True
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Ghoul
  • Actions
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Simple Hint message: Corpse Found
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
• ExhumeCorpse2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Meat Wagon
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Peasant for (Triggering player) at Temp_Point1 facing Temp_Point1
    • Unit - Create a Footman corpse for (Triggering player) at TempPoint01
    • Unit - Create a permanent Skeletal Footman corpse for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint01 facing (Random angle) degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point1)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Undead Meat Wagon - Get Corpse

Edit: Ok for some reason it refuses to place dead units on top of living units, but its fine to create living ones on top of them. so I have to create living unit and then replace it.
is it good though?

• ExhumeCorpse2 Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Meat Wagon
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Peasant for (Triggering player) at Temp_Point1 facing Temp_Point1
    • Set Temp_Point2 = (Position of (Last created unit))
    • Unit - Remove (Last created unit) from the game
    • Unit - Create a Footman corpse for (Triggering player) at Temp_Point2
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point2)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Undead Meat Wagon - Get Corpse

the corpse is now created, but meat wagon still refuse to get the corpse.
I also need to randomize which units are to be spawned, but thats not a big issue.

though this doesnt seem very neat to me.

Spoiler

btw I also tried offset action trigger with no avail

• ExhumeCorpse2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Meat Wagon
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Point1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Temp_Point2 = (TempPoint01 offset by (Random real number between 1.00 and 25.00) towards (Random angle) degrees)
    • Unit - Create a Footman corpse for Neutral Passive at Temp_Point2
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point2)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Undead Meat Wagon - Get Corpse

Give the Exhume Corpse ability multiples levels, each level spawns a different unit then do this :

• Random Exhume Corpse
  • Events
    • Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set RandomLevel = (Random integer number between 1 and 5)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Meat Wagon) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of Exhume Corpse for (Picked unit) to RandomLevel

        • Unit - Set level of Exhume Corpse for (Picked unit) to RandomLevel

aha, that is very neat indeed. I will just change the event to fire whenever exhume corpses itself is used. no need to change periodically. dont you agree?

Thanks a lot! this should be perfect!

Exhume Corpse is a passive ability, it can not be detected with Starts the effect an ability or Issue an order.

what do you mean? Even fires normally as Unit - start an effect of the ability. The following trigger works just fine in my version of the game (1.26)

• ExhumeCorpse3
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Meat Wagon
  • Actions
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Simple Hint message: Corpse Found

Ah yes, my mistake. I just tested it and you're actually right! Interesting, I always thought that all passive spells cannot be detected with that event.
