      • Hashtable - Save 40 as (Key timer) of (Custom value of (Last created unit)) in CreepRespawn
      • Trigger - Turn on RespawnTimer <gen>
The system consists of a unit group for each unit - inside are the units they are in combat with

When a unit dies, or leashes they pick each unit they were in combat with, and have that unit remove them from their list, then destroy their own list.

The part where they leash (stop, and run back) works

So, a couple problems
1 the unit stays in the unit group of the hero (Custom value 1) in any case death or leash

2 after the unit leashes it won't come uninvul and seems it never can reach the point that it was at when it was saved with initial trigger.


Theory for 1st - I can't put a loop in a loop :/ But when the unit dies, it isn't in a loop of a loop so... it doesn't even work then still...

Theory for 2nd - The unit somehow can't get exactly in the same spot.

3rd Theory, there is a Point Value of unit instead of a Custom Value of unit somewhere and me and notepad's search feature are blind :(

No, that part is removing the unit that died/leashed, from the combat groups of the other players.

The picked unit will be removed when the unit group of the dying/leashed unit is emptied. (right after the loop)



I've looked these triggers over so many times... Every time I do, it looks like they should be working :/

I added a command that I could type to see which units I'm in combat with, and they are just not being removed from the other units group from death or leashing...

So, anyone see anything that would cause this to not work?

I really don't see how it isn't working... I've gone over it so many times
It doesn't seem to enter the loop to remove units when something dies/leashes.

I already added text to the triggers, it seems they don't get to the loop part, but the respawn trigger works, and the leash trigger works (the enemies run away go invul, and heal)
I changed the condition for leaving waitreturn to current order of unit is stop, and it still isn't working.
I'll put this in a map but don't have time atm will do it later tonight.

Here is a test map with my combat triggers in it, it's doing the same thing as in my actual map.

*Download Map here*

I'd like it to work as the triggers should... because I want it to work on NPC vs NPC fighting as well not just the players.
