Leaving an area question

[Xzere]

Hello, how do i make this even work only one way? Like, if you enter, you lose HP, but if you leave later on, you dont lose HP.

Why would the trigger reduce HP when a unit leaves region? It's only fired with when a unit enters region.

Maybe i explained myself poorly. I want it work just the way it does in the trigger. BUT when you return, you should not lose HP (Like when you step into this region again you wont take dmg). You should only take damage when you want to enter this area, not leave it.

You could make an boolean variable that is set to either true or false. And mess around with that.
Or an integer counter that is 0. And when entered set it to 1.
This works like a check thing, if the unit has already entered the region.

Then add whatever conditions.

Ok.

You should only take damage when you want to enter this area, not leave it.

Then you describe it wrong again. As entering again != leaving.

An alternative to DoomBlade's way would to use a unit group, and in the trigger you add units to this group when they enter. Furthermore there needs to be a conditon, that you only damage units that are not in said unit group, yet.

I understand what you mean, i will look into it and see what i can do

If you no longer want the region to trigger anything you could remove the region.
You will have to set the regions to a variable and then use:

Custom script: call RemoveRect (udg_YourRect)

I manage to make it work, altough, this could cause a few bugs with more players. How do i make this trigger work for each individual player?

Could i use an array and put player number in it?
