living unit count causing issues

[noxwinslol]

The trigger is very simple and yet causing an issue, as soon as I reach the limit of living units allowed, the trigger wont proceed working even when a unit dies.

• every 1 second of game time
• number of units in(units owned by player 1)less than 40
• create 1 footmen

since it is a periodic event it is absolutely beyond me what could possibly be the problem.

• every 1 second of game-time
• Set tempGroup = (Units owned by (Player 1) matching (Matching unit is alive))
• If (Number of units in tempGroup) is less than 40
  • Then-Actions
    • Create 1 footman for player 1...
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_tempGroup)

You have to make sure that the units are alive, otherwise it will be counting corpses. I did some extra stuff to remove the unit group leak.

• Spawn
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Number of units in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red))) Less than 5
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

• Clean Up
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Dying unit) from the game

That works, just tested it.

If that interferes with stuff, you can probably find another way to do it.

I think, <think>, that it is not working because a unit is still "owned" by a player until is is completely gone, aka, the like 40 seconds decay time or whatever it is. So either reduce that, or remove the unit on death, and you should be good.


Edit: He did that one as I did this one, lol His looks cleaner, go with him.
