[Trigger] multi-connecting

[tyr574]

is it possible to connect 2 units so if one of them dies they both do? i know u can with one pair but i dont know how to make it so that you have 3 pairs plz help me

 

[tyr574]

hmm... i dont know if that could works cuz as i see it kill all units of a type in the group. while it should only be one unit

 

[QueloR]

You would have to store the units that are supposed to be in the same group in a group variable (possibly an array).

 

[tyr574]

this isnt about killing units in a group.
its about connecting units without being forced to use 100 group variables

 

[QueloR]

Try using custom value of the unit...

 

[tyr574]

u got something i even thought of it myself but i dont know any system that detects if theere already is a unit with a custom value then sets the value to another number

 

[Kercyn]

Using QueloR's suggestion, you can make a system that detect's the dying unit's custom value, picks every unit with the same value and kill them all. You can also make an array that will store all custom values that have been used.

 

[tyr574]

but what if i want a new group? i mean isnt that quite hard to make?

 

[Kercyn]

What do you mean "a new group"? You can set each unit-type to have a specific custom value, and have a temporary group when you need to kill a unit type.

 

[tyr574]

i know but i want a system which detects if there already is 2 units who have that number. then it gives the new pair a new number

 

[Kercyn]

That's what I say. Create an array that will increase with every unit type.

Nah. Know jass? If so, use kaTTana's handle vars, really useful. If you modify them they accept units too.

 

[Kercyn]

Why do you always have to say something better than I do? You can't help it, right?

Kataramene!

 

[GhostWolf]

Huh, no.
H2I + Game Cache = old and buggy (yes, it was the best back then, but why use it now).
Structs are the way to go.

 

[tyr574]

i just got nothing of what u said. i admit it i dont know what an array is =( nor can i do jass but atleast i could gie it a try with the jass thingie. and i will start trieng the movement i find out where the handle vars thing is. is it a map?
