How to trigger a unit that's yet on the map?

[Emin]

Unit takes a damage, then it is ordered to cast polymorph to the source of the damage. No problem there it works just fine. But, only one unit does that and that unit is on the map. What about units that are yet to be produced? I can't work it around. Anyone help me?

The easiest and quickiest way is to have another trigger with event: unit enters region
and action: Trigger - Add to (This trigger) the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)
Maybe you probably want to filter units, that's up to you.
Also whats with this condition you have? "True Equal to True" doesn't do anything there

You can use region triggers or you can use unit type triggers. There are a couple of options you can do for that ;p normally I use regions for that and sometimes unit type triggers if its a one of a kind unit.

Thanks for replying! I have questions:
1) So do I keep the first trigger just like it is now? I want to start a meelee game with bots. Now if I keep the first trigger as it is, the unit will be on the map when the game starts.
2) I've been trying to do so, but somethings amiss

PS. I didn't really know what to put in condition

Thanks for replying. I do understand the logic, but It doesn't work in my case (probably doing something wrong). Do you have a screenshot of the trigger? It woul'd mean alot!

Your two options are the following. If the units are created through triggers you'll do this:

• Unit - Create one YOUR_UNIT_TYPE for <whichever player> at <whatever point> facing (Default building facing degrees)
• Trigger - Add to Knight of Sheeps ac 1 <gen> the event (Unit - (Last created unit) takes damage)

If the units are produced by players you'll do this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area) //don't use "entire map", pma is superior and works in nearly every situation
• Conditions
  • (Unit - type of (Triggering Unit)) equal to YOUR_UNIT_TYPE
• Actions
  • Trigger - Add to Knight of Sheeps ac 1 <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering Unit) takes damage)

Be aware that each event creates a handle and that handle will leak if the unit is removed (from death or otherwise). The only way to prevent the leak is to periodically destroy the trigger and recreate it with events for the still existing units.
