Need help about refferring a unit

[cboy123]

I need help about this line of event
Melee Initialization

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins training a unit

I need some reference about with this event.
Help me. Pls.

If it's based off of a unit being trained, try using:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit is trained
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If/ then/else, multiple functions
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Trained Unit)) is Equal to Footman
      • Then - Actions
        • Your actions here
      • Else - Actions
        • Do Nothing

I have tried that but it won't work
Is there any Jass thing about with it?
I need it since I am using 6 custom resources (triggered)

 

[Bond009]

paste what you tried because that should work..

 

[cboy123]

• Ancient Worker
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Ancient Worker
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Player_Resources_Food[(Player number of (Owner of (Researching unit)))] Less than or equal to 49
      • Then - Actions
        • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById( GetTriggerUnit( ), 0xD0008 )
        • Set PG = (Player group((Owner of (Researching unit))))
        • Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for PG
        • Game - Display to PG for 5.00 seconds the text: ...
        • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_PG)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set Player_Resources_Food[(Player number of (Owner of (Researching unit)))] = (Player_Resources_Food[(Player number of (Owner of (Researching unit)))] - 50)

here it is

"Researching unit" refers to Unit - A unit begins research. Since there is no default way of retrieving the trained unit or the training one through this event, just use "Charge gold and lumber" ability and, whenever it is cast, make your actions as you would normally do.

 

[cboy123]

Opppss....I do the WRONG Triggers
I only need a trigger that CANCELS the current training of a unit.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Well, you can't, as far as I know.

 

[Maker]

I think you can, if I understood you correctly. Here's the system:

Triggers

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hash = (Last created hashtable)

• Untitled Trigger 018
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(footman))
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_i1 = GetHandleId(GetTriggerUnit() )
    • Countdown Timer - Start Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to StopGroup
    • Custom script: call SaveInteger( udg_Hash , udg_i1, StringHash("units") , LoadInteger( udg_Hash , udg_i1 , StringHash("units") ) + 1 )

• Cancel
  • Events
    • Time - Timer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in StopGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set u1 = (Picked unit)
        • Custom script: set udg_i1 = GetHandleId( udg_u1 )
        • Custom script: set udg_i2 = LoadInteger( udg_Hash , udg_i1 , StringHash("units") )
        • For each (Integer loopA) from 1 to i2, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById( udg_u1 , 0xD0008 )
        • Unit Group - Remove u1 from StopGroup
        • Custom script: call FlushChildHashtable( udg_Hash, udg_i1 )

• Orders Copy 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call BJDebugMsg("["+GetUnitName(GetTriggerUnit())+"] issued order [|cffFFFF00"+I2S(GetIssuedOrderId())+"|r] (|cffFF8040"+OrderId2String(GetIssuedOrderId())+"|r)")
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Issued order)))

You catch the order of training a unit and order the unit to cancel the training.

But why so "complex" system? You could just use wait of 0.00 seconds, but it's not quick enough. With that, you still see the training begin for a brief moment. A timer of 0.00 expiration time is nearly instant. The save/load integer is done because without it, you can train those units if you click the train button frantically.

The last trigger is there so you can check the order strings for different units, write them down and then use them.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Well apparently, this works too:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(Footman))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)

What you can't do is cancelling the training of a specific unit, when there are many units in the queue. For example, you train Sorceress - Priest - Spell Breaker - Sorceress - Spell Breaker. If you want to cancel the Priest's training, then, there is no way to do that.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I don't fully understand what you want, but if you want to cancel unit training you can do this way http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=88301 But you probably already know that. This just forces the player to press the cancel button (red circle with line), so you can repeatedly force it to cancel multiple units. But to find a type you must keep track of which unit types are training at the moment, preferably using hashtables with handles.

And a unit which hasn't been trained yet, has no reference yet, it comes to life only when trained, until then it's just a process in the training building.

Ok then...Looks like I gotta find a new alternative way here.
Hahaha. Thanks guys. +rep for some help.

Edit: Found a new alternate way. Hahaha. It's been hard to be wise here.

• Ancient Worker
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Ancient Worker
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Player_Resources_Food[(Player number of (Owner of (Trained unit)))] Less than or equal to 49
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Trained unit) from the game
        • Set PG = (Player group((Owner of (Trained unit))))
        • Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for PG
        • Game - Display to PG for 5.00 seconds the text: ...
        • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_PG)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set Player_Resources_Food[(Player number of (Owner of (Trained unit)))] = (Player_Resources_Food[(Player number of (Owner of (Trained unit)))] - 50)

Found something leaky?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes, but the unit will have to finish training, before the error message appears on the screen, which is way too awkward.

Anyway, nothing leaky

Thanks for the check. Yah that is awkward.
But I hate it cause it needs to finish training. ~_~.
BTW. Thanks for the help.

(Force me to find an alternate way.)
Oh well, back to make Civilization Battles.

Either do what Maker suggested, or use the Jass version:

Thanks for the help but there are a lot of units to be done and I only need one slot of TRIGGER to do per unit to simplify me.
