here's the trigger, i want it to, if possible add exp to nearby allied heroes only, the problem is the floating text appears even on the enemy unit and even if the unit is dead and when i try to alter the conditions it doesn't work.

Imo it seems like a LOT of exp is given but maybe because the party and killing unit xp are given at the same time, not sure. This worked for me.

the exp is quite big because i forgot to tell that the exp shared is divided equal to the number of nearby allied heroes within range, and how come you didn't set the unit group? this seems to be promising, have tried this trigger?

i tried to add a non-hero triggers to it and it doesn't work, maybe i nested the triggers wrong? please check.

 

[pOke]

Hmm seems I made a few mistakes, this one is probably not that efficient since I pick the same group twice but I'm exhausted, someone can help you from here.

The initial Ifs seems kind of pointless to me, we should be checking every time a unit dies if we need to give XP to a nearby hero, not just when a hero gets the last hit. Maybe you want to give more XP if the hero gets the last hit, if that is the case you will need to add an IF back in. However I don't think its needed as you seem to want 100 as the base amount (which is a lot early btw)

Btw use Level of unit (it works for heroes and units)

for some reason, i couldn't open my map anymore it says main map file could not be found. I think it's much better if it checks if a hero dies.

I tried and tested the triggers and it works so far without bugs, now i'm gonna replicate so that it gives exp when killing non- hero units too, i'm going to try to integrate the trigger that gives exp only to the killing unit into just one trigger to save some space. I tried and i failed.

I'm not really following what you're saying...

My last post works for if a regular unit (non-hero) OR a hero dies.
The trigger gets the total XP (to be given) based on the Dying units level * the 100 constant you had chosen.
If there are 2 hero units in range, when a level 5 unit (hero or non-hero) dies it will split the 500xp between these 2 units giving 250 each.

I think if you want to give extra XP for getting the last hit you should just do that separately, but I think you're going to want to make it minimal, and not do some multiple. i.e. Map Initialization set LastHitXp[1] = 15 LastHitXp[2] = 23
And then just check the level of the unit when it dies and give it the flat amount based on your predefined values.

you mean to say that the trigger you created is for hero and non-hero units already? if so, then i'm so stupid and wasted 5 hours trying to make a same trigger for non-hero units.

yeap i'm stupid, because i didn't see a part in the conditions that tempunit is a hero or not, which means it works for both.
