Morning vs. Nightime triggers

[En_Fuego]

I've been working on an item that has the specific ability to give a hero Immolation during the day and then during the night it will give it Shadow Meld. Respectively, it will only have 1 at a time.

This is what I have...

• Lightbrand Morning
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Greater than or equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type |c00C6E2FFLightbrand|r) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Permanent Immolation (Neutral Hostile 1) to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Shadow Meld (Instant) from (Triggering unit)

• Lightbrand Night
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Greater than or equal to 12.00
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type |c00C6E2FFLightbrand|r) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Permanent Immolation (Neutral Hostile 1) from (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Add Shadow Meld (Instant) to (Triggering unit)

First, you have to post it in the Trigger (GUI) forum and 2nd what do you want?

the timing isnt correct, the unti will get the shadow meld trigger at 12 noon. not 12am.
The timing for wc3 is from 0 -24
so 6 is 6 am and 18 is 6 pm

And you might need 1 more trigger so if the hero enter the map at any given time, it will still get the ability.

I would give the abilities a condition "needs unit (Day/Night)" and switch these units for every player. sure some people dont think it is the best solution, but you can add more day/night spells without triggering every item or hero.

i think your problem is that you do not have a triggering unit, so you will have to make a variable for every hero in your map and add them to conditions with "or"

• Conditions
  • ((((Hero1) has an item of type |c00C6E2FFLightbrand|r) Equal to True) or (((Hero2) has an item of type |c00C6E2FFLightbrand|r) Equal to True) ....

@UreDe4D, there is only one Lightbrand in the map.

@Rizz_Boomer, may you elaborate on that more please? I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying. :/

@NoobMapmaker, I know the timing isn't correct, it was just an example. It still doesn't give the hero the skill either way.

In a more simplified way, because the unit didn't trigger the change in time(otherwise day or night), therefore there is no triggering unit and the actions are not used.

I suggest a simpler solution.

The unit carrying the lightbrand is probably a unique hero right, in some sort of rpg or whatever, but he must have been placed on the map. Therefore, just select him as an variable.

• Events
  • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Add immolation to Lightbrand holder 0000 <gen>
  • Unit - Remove shadowmeld (instant) to Lightbrand holder 0000 <gen>

OR else, another alternative. You can just leave both the abilities there and only disable immolation at night because shadowmeld isnt gonna work in the day anyway.

I got it to work by following the tutorial in the first post.

And uh, he wasn't pre-placed

You can add conditions to abilities like needed researches or units.
So make a dummy unit "Day" and a dummy unit "Night" and use them as condition for your spells (of course not both).
Than make a trigger wich creates a unit "Night" for every player if it is nighttime and a unit "Day" if its daytime.
Remove the "Night"-units at the beginning of the day and the "Day"-units at the end of the day.

or short:
Time = 06:00 : Remove Night-units -> create Day-units
Time = 18:00 : Remove Day-units -> create Night units

Hope it wasnt too confusing.
