Issue order targeting a point (doesn't work)

[SnowYell]

Hi
Is it just me or is it always super difficult to get units to issue order targeting a point?
I can never get it to work?
Would you know what I am missing? I just want those 3 conditioned type of minions to follow the Death Caller, wherever he will go. Might add offset of targeted point for the minions in the future.

• Minion Follow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Death Caller
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: targeted point
    • Set Minion_Point = (Target point of issued order)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Owner of (Ordered unit))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: picked
        • Set Minion_A = (Picked unit)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Minion_A is dead) Equal to False
            • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (Unit-type of Minion_A) Equal to Abominative Golem (Death Caller)
                • (Unit-type of Minion_A) Equal to Minion (Raise Dead)
                • (Unit-type of Minion_A) Equal to Minion (Death Caller)
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order Minion_A to Move To Minion_Point
            • Game - Display to (All players) the text: a unit
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Minion_Point)

The game texts are checks. Only "targeted point" and 4 "picked" msg shows up. The "a unit" never shows. I just don't get it.

I don't see what could be causing this either.
Try to remove the (Minion_A is dead) Equal to False
if the minions are dead - they can't go anywhere, but perhaps this check is breaking it?

You didn't specify a point to target (spot)

Even if I stay RIGHT next to the Abominative Golem with this trigger:

• Minion Follow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Death Caller
  • Actions
    • Set Minion_Summoner = (Ordered unit)
    • Set Minion_Point = (Position of Minion_Summoner)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 900.00 of Minion_Point) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Minion_A = (Picked unit)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Unit-type of Minion_A) Equal to Abominative Golem (Death Caller)
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Kill Minion_A
          • Else - Actions

Nothing happens.

That's strange. I tried a similar trigger in my editor and worked fine for me. What happens if you remove the '(Unit-type of Minion_A) Equal to Abominative Golem (Death Caller)' condition?

 

[EdgeOfChaos]

Are there several triggers in your map using the variable Minion_A? If so, it might be getting overwritten or something. Try just using Picked Unit directly instead of setting that variable.

If that fails, try removing the If conditions about unit-type and see what happens.

 

[SnowYell]

I have just made the variable. And i even made the Minion_A for this matter, to make it easier to work with.

Its just strange I mean.. Why wouldn't it work?
But I will try and remove the conditions and make it direct.
The picking might not support the Unit-Type I guess. I mean something has to be wrong.

If I pick globally with no conditions, the game crashes with no error message.

Make a custom script in the else block of the unit types checks and use this script:

call BJDebugMsg("Unit Type = " + GetObjectName(GetUnitTypeId(udg_Minion_A))) + " (" + I2S(GetUnitTypeId(udg_Minion_A)) + ")")

So:

• Custom Script: call BJDebugMsg("Unit Type = " + GetObjectName(GetUnitTypeId(udg_Minion_A))) + " (" + I2S(GetUnitTypeId(udg_Minion_A)) + ")")

Then tell me what the game message says.
