i am working on a custom training system where units trsin into other units by targetting buidings with channel. the triggers for each version of the ability is more or less the same but only one of them works. i have set different base order ids for each. please help me out.
For "Unit stops casting an ability" event there is no "Target unit of ability being cast". Since "Target of ability being cast" returns null, the condition fails and your unit is not replaced.
Change the event to "Unit starts an effect of an ability" and you will see it works just fine.
no it will not work fine. then the unit will be replaced right away. i want it to be replaced when it is done channeling. please help me accomplish that.
Unit starts casting an ability: If targeted unit == any of the specified units you want, index the unit into unit array, under same index number index the unit-type into which the unit is supposed to.
Unit stops casting an ability: Find the unit in the unit array and change it into unit-type you saved under same index.
Look at the pseudo-code
Code:
Events
Unit starts casting
Conditions
Ability = Basic train ability
Actions
If - Conditions
Target = barracks or ..
Actions
Set Index = Index + 1
Set TrainingUnit[Index] = (Triggering unit)
Set NewUnit[Index] = Grunt //determine this your own way into which he should morph)
/////
Events
Unit stops casting
Conditions
Or - Conditions
Ability = Basic train ability
Ability = Improved train ability
Ability = Best train ability
Actions
For each loop_int from 1 to Index
Loop
If - Conditions
(triggering unit) Equals to TrainingUnit[loop_var]
Actions
Change TrainingUnit[loop_var] into NewUnit[loop_var]
...deindex here ...
The second pseudo-trigger can take care of all your training units, since he just checks if the caster is in the TrainingUnit array and just changes it to the unit-type you set in first trigger.
Also I would change the event from "Unit stops casting an ability" to "Unit finishes casting an ability" - difference is that the first one fires when your unit is interrupted. For example instead of 30 second "training", if your unit got stunned after 2 seconds, he would change immediately.
Here look into my edits, i think it all works like you would want it.
Nevermind, the uploading of files doesn't work... The following error occurred

Well then have a look at the triggers (where did the trigger editor format go in this forum?):

You just have to nest these triggers. You can also use an indexing system like Nichilus wrote. This would be recommended if you plan on using a multitude of units.
the thing is that the system needs to check what building it targets and the ability being used. basic training for example creates grunt while advanced training creates a different unit.
