[Trigger] Mass Selection

[wereguy2]

Trigger

• P1
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Bear
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Eagle
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Forest Spirit
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Spider
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Stag
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wild Boar
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wolf
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 650.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Unit-type of (Triggering unit))) and ((Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit))))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Selection - Select (Picked unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

When a unit is selected, units of teh same type within a certain radius of it are also selected.
That is what this trigger is meant to do, but clearly Triggering Unit doesnt fit it. would there be any way of having something along the lines of Selected Unit or any other way of doing this?


UPDATE!
Here

Of course triggering unit doesn't work:
A unit isn't triggering the trigger.

Try making it "Unit-type of selected unit equal to..." and see how it works.

 

[leet.firefox]

I already said that.
And I do not believe selected unit equal to is a valid option.

 

[Sabertooth]

Ooh. That's really dumb. I guess that's why there's nothing like the squad system in Dawn of War yet.

It leaks also Try in Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 650.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching Unit)) Equal to (Unit-type of (Triggering unit))) and ((Owner of (Matching Unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit))))) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

 

[Meticulous]

Triggering unit will work.

Some things to clear up;

Clean up leaks, look at the "Things that leak" post if you need help with it.
Rather than selecting units, do "select unit group"; your current trigger will pick first one unit, then clear selection and pick another unit.
Also, make sure the unit group only selects living units.

Ok I managed to get a working trigger going but it somehow crashes Wc3...
Here it is:

• P1
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Bear
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Eagle
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Forest Spirit
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Spider
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Stag
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wild Boar
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wolf
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Pit Fiend
  • Actions
    • Selection - Select (Units within 650.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)))) for Player 1 (Red)

 

[Rmx]

Well i think u should unselect the other units and leave the wanted units

 

[leet.firefox]

hmmm, is there a triggering unit? I thought it was triggering player.....

 

[Smiddle]

hmmm, is there a triggering unit? I thought it was triggering player.....

I believe that there are both of them.

 

[wereguy2]

It works at first, they are selected, but then (after like 1 sec, it crashes)

Your actions will execute the trigger and create a infinite loop.

Try this solution:

• P1
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Bear
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Eagle
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Forest Spirit
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Spider
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Stag
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wild Boar
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wolf
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Pit Fiend
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Selection - Select (Units within 650.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)))) for Player 1 (Red)
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

 

[Palaslayer]

weh, it leaks anyway

add

Custom Script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup=true

before the Select Units within blah and do actions thing

Hmm, it should have, but didnt work..

Im a vJasser, been ages since i did GUI. I made this which works but its buggy. maybe u can make it less buggy:

• Select
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from (Units currently selected by Player 1 (Red))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Selection - Select (Units within 512.00 of (Position of (Picked unit)) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Unit-type of (Picked unit)))) for Player 1 (Red)
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

 

[Palaslayer]

why the hell do you turn it off and on?

 

[TheBlooddancer]

So it won't loop.

When picking all the other units, you start the trigger once again, and pick, and so on.

 

[wereguy2]

[MaD]Lion's way actually worked!
It is glitchy, though, as a lot of the time when a different unit is selected, the previous ones are reselected. :S

 

[MaD[Lion]]

took sometime to test and here is an unglitchy version, but the selection function itself is slow...

• Select
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from (Units currently selected by Player 1 (Red))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Selection - Select (Units within 512.00 of (Position of (Picked unit)) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Unit-type of (Picked unit)))) for Player 1 (Red)
    • Wait 0.01 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

 

[wereguy2]

Perfect, just what I wanted, thanks!
+rep to everyone that helped
