[Trigger] Moving all units except one?

[Ziggen]

I'm currently making a cinematic series, wich I believe will be pretty good (I'm not a total noob, I got some skills in cinematic ;P). However there is one thing I need help with.

It's in a small town, so there's alot of villagers walking around, the triggers for that looks like this: (example)

Now my problem is that the main character is also in that region, so it moves too, but I don't want him to randomly walk around, so how do I make that all units in the region but him do as the trigger says?

I hope you understand what I mean, thx.

• Actions
  • Set tempgroup = (Units in Rect 015 <gen>)
  • Set unit = (Random unit from tempgroup) matching (Unit-type of (Matching Unit) not equal to *your main character*)
  • Set temppoint = Random point in Rect 012 <gen>
  • Unit - Order unit to move to temppoint
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_tempgroup)

Hm... That's a bit too advanced for me Isn't there an easier way? Or could you please upload a map with that so I can copy? Or you could explain how to do it

You can't get it any easier. These are basic triggers.


Set tempgroup = (Units in Rect 015 <gen>)
This is a 'Set Variable' Action (Unit Group Variable)
Set unit = (Random unit from tempgroup) matching (Unit-type of (Matching Unit) not equal to *your main character*)
This is a 'Set Variable' Action (Unit Variable)
Set temppoint = Random point in Rect 012 <gen>
This is a 'Set Variable' Action (Point Variable)
Unit - Order unit to move to temppoint
This is a regular Action
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)
Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_tempgroup)
These are Custom Scripts. You simply copy the texts 'call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint' and 'call DestroyGroup(udg_tempgroup)', and paste them in a Custom Script Action.

If you need more info about any part of this, just ask and I'll explain further about them or give you a link that can provide understandable and detailed info about them.

If you don't know how to create variables, click the "X" icon(it's in triggers), create a variable for "Point", "Unit", and "Unit Ground", and name them to the ones he listed.

Ok then. thanks Avator, I'll try to do that when I get home (in school atm..)
yeah, thx Squiggy

 

[Avator]

Remember to thank Squiggy too. After all, he's the one who posted the trigger.

You'll get used to it, triggering is full of variables and after, destroying them

jjust use pick every unit matching condition (matching unit not equal to (your main character))

jjust use pick every unit matching condition (matching unit not equal to (your main character))

If you do so, don't forget to bj_wantDestroyGroup=true it.
