Kill Nearest Unit

[defskull]

Okay, I got my CasterUnit casting a spell
This spell will kill enemy unit that is the most nearest to the CasterUnit
Say:

CasterUnit's distance to Enemy A is 350.00
CasterUnit's distance to Enemy B is 150.00
CasterUnit's distance to Enemy C is 600.00

So, I want this spell to only kill Enemy B (which is the most nearest)
I tried using For Loop Integer action and Unit Group - Pick Every Unit... action but still fail

Can someone show me the proper action ?

I have some ideas, but is there a radius limit, eg in 1000 range or just unlimited?

temp_position, temp_position_2 - are points.
distance, min_range - are reals (so they don't leak)

• Actions
  • Set temp_position = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  • Set min_range = 1000.00
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 1000.00 of temp_position) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set temp_position_2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
      • Set distance = (Distance between temp_position and temp_position_2)
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • distance Less than min_range
          • <HERE YOU MUST CHECK if Picked unit is of certain type or belongs to a certain player, or else you would kill yourself with this trigger>
        • Then - Actions
          • Set min_range = distance
          • Set unit_target = (Picked unit)
        • Else - Actions
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_position_2)
  • Unit - Kill unit_target
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_position)

Wow, it worked
Thanks sir

Although, I got question:
What is the use of that "min_range" ?

 

[Elvendan]

Here you go. I've just made a map for you.

Edit: "min_range" is used to compare ranges to picked unit with it. It is set to 1000 at the beginning and then decreases every time this trigger finds a unit which is CLOSER than "min_range".

 

[defskull]

No, I spoke too soon, sorry
I tested your trigger after I commented on it and it works well (no need test map, I already paid you back with 3 rep HAHA)
Thanks dude

 

[Elvendan]

You're welcome.
Also, there might be a little bug when this trigger tries to kill already dead unit. To avoid this put

• ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True

inside the cycle condition check.

 

[defskull]

Yes, I did that earlier in the trigger, (Matching unit) is alive Equal to True
I filtered it earlier in the trigger, hehe

Also, it doesn't "bug", it's normal dude
Because, the "dead" unit is dead (because got killed for the nearest unit) and when the caster doesn't change his spot to a new place (new alive unit doesn't gets registered as the "most nearest" location to the caster), that's what happen
We keep picking up the dead units over and over again
We try to "kill" a unit that has already dead
