[General] loading multiple units in a trigger

[kazenokage]

can anyone tell me how to load multiple units via trigger i tried using group variable but it will load only one unit.

 

[blancfaye7]

May you clarify further of what you really need?

 

[Arad MNK]

You did not clarify what you need.
By game cache? By hiding/unhiding?
You use triggers? I can Help you in that. Just gimme A second.

 

[kazenokage]

ok i want to use the ability "load" that can store units inside.. i want to order the ability "load" via triggers.

 

[Daffa]

Is the load ability similar to load/unload in Transport Ship?

I assume you want the ability to load a unit group instead of one unit, in order to archive this, I would recommend pick the unit group then order them to board(?) the transport.

That is if my question above is true.

 

[kazenokage]

yup i want that daffa

 

[kazenokage]

the question is when my unit is order to load the units it will load 1 unit only

On it...

• Example
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add Footman 0000 <gen> to Unit_Group
    • Unit Group - Add Footman 0001 <gen> to Unit_Group
    • Unit Group - Add Footman 0002 <gen> to Unit_Group
    • Unit Group - Add Footman 0003 <gen> to Unit_Group
    • Unit Group - Add Footman 0004 <gen> to Unit_Group
    • -------- Important --------
    • Set Amount_of_Footman = (Number of units in Unit_Group)
    • -------- Not Important, I Used them to load and check if it is right. --------
    • Unit - Order Human Transport Ship 0006 <gen> to Load Footman 0000 <gen>
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Human Transport Ship 0006 <gen> to Load Footman 0001 <gen>
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Human Transport Ship 0006 <gen> to Load Footman 0002 <gen>
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Human Transport Ship 0006 <gen> to Load Footman 0003 <gen>
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order Human Transport Ship 0006 <gen> to Load Footman 0004 <gen>
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • -------- This is What you want --------
      • Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer Integer_General) from 1 to Amount_of_Footman, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set u = (First unit of group Unit_Group)
          • Unit - Order Human Transport Ship 0006 <gen> to Unload u
          • Unit Group - Remove u from Unit_Group
          • Custom script: set udg_u = null
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Unit_Group)

Refrain double posting.

Order the unit group to board/load to the transport, not the transport to pick them up.
If this still becomes an issue, I recommend to add a timer between and see if that do something.

 

[kazenokage]

well daffa what is the trigger necessary?

Arad:does it work for "newly created units"?

 

[Light]

yes. just use (Last created unit) when ordering the unit to load.

 

[Daffa]

Arad's way would be the easiest, but be warned that the wait might break if used with global variables/functions.

@Arad, is it possible to avoid the wait? I don't have the time check, but I recommend to avoid it altogether if possible.

Arad:does it work for "newly created units"?

Yes, If you create/train a Unit, Then Add it to your unit group. Then, Again use The Amount_Of_Footman Variable OR Any name you would like.

Arad, is it possible to avoid the wait? I don't have the time check, but I recommend to avoid it altogether if possible.

Not really. That is Possible However by using timers. Now I'm gonna Try it without wait. That's gonna take a while.
EDIT: I Failed. Now i'm gonna try in JASS And Make a simple one in GUI By Custom Scripts...
EDIT 2: Inspired by JASS, I am Creating a Similar one in simple GUI!

Done.
