[Solved] How to rid of decaying units in UnitGroup?

[Helheim]

I've got an issue: UnitGroup always pick up decaying units.

• Set VariableSet Targets_Group_RED = (Units within 2500.00 of TempPoint[0] matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 12 (Brown)) and ((((Matching unit) is invulnerable) Equal to no) and ((((Matching unit) is dead) Equal to no and (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to no))))

But whatever I do, decaying units are still in group.

I've tried conditions: IsDead, IsAlive, Health = greater than 0. None of them worked.

Im on phone, so I can't access the editor.
But there should be a boolean condition for decaying unit.

Do you need it for something specific?

Not sure why it is not working for you. On an empty map I placed 2 footmen, 2 riflemen and 2 knights, used the triggers below and got expected results - when all are alive, the Check Group trigger creates effect on all 6 units. When I kill footmen and riflemen via Kill Units trigger and then fire the Check Group trigger again, only knights are picked.

Kill Units trigger

          • If - Conditions

              • Conditions
                • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Footman
                • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Rifleman
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions

Perhaps between the time that you pick units into your group and doing something with the group, another trigger is fired and places decaying units in there?

Try to use custom (new) group variable if the issue persists

Remove the units from unit group when they die.

Something like this

• MyGroup Spawn Dies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in MyGroup) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from MyGroup

Remove the units from unit group when they die.

Hmm, I already have it

• Unit Dies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (((Number of units in (Units of type Chaos Tower)) Greater than 0)) then do (Unit Group - Remove (Dying unit) from Targets_Group_RED.) else do (Do nothing)

But I think something went wrong.

Anyway, I've tried your version and it works fine as I've tested yet.

• Unit Dies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (((Dying unit) is in Targets_Group_RED.) Equal to Да) then do (Unit Group - Remove (Dying unit) from Targets_Group_RED.) else do (Do nothing)

Thanks for help guys!
