Ordering multiple created units

[Avator]

I've made a trigger to create 3 different units (3 triggers, 1 for each unit), but now i need these units to change owner. All I can find is the a trigger for the "Last created unit", but then I still have 2 others left.

I tried to get them all in a Unit Group, but that thing doesn't like me, since I can't seem to be able to select units to add to the group if those units are not placed on the map already!

So there are 2 ways to solve this:
1) Somebody teaches me how to change the owner of the units individually or
2) Somebody teaches me how to add those units to a Unit Group and changing theyre owners all together


If there is anything of arrays, costum scripts or strings involved, please explain those parts very clear to me. I've tried to get a good tutorial for those, but they either don't explain anything useful at all, or they simply frustrate me with they're too complicated brabbling.

Thank you very much in advance,
Avator

• Events

• Create 12 Footmen for Player1 (Red) at (Center of (Your Rect)) facing (Posistion of (Your unit)

Dunno if this is what you mean ...

 

[Avator]

No, sorry. I'm looking for help on how to change ownership of units that are not pre-placed on the map.

So I made a trigger that creates 3 individual units (so I can't use the Last Created Unit command), and all 3 have to change owner. So I think the only solution is a bit more advanced Action that allows me to select units that are created by this previous Action in another trigger, or i need to make a Unit Group of these 3 units, so I can select that Unit Group.

If it's still not clear to you, I'll try to explain with my actual map as sample.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Yeah, but now he wants to order all 12 footmen to do something at the same time. Picking last created unit doesnt work. :/

Edit: I posted on the same time

• Creating Units
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves <Region>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 <Unit 1> for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in <Region>) facing (Position of <Unit A>)
    • Unit - Create 1 <Unit 2> for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in <Region>) facing (Position of <Unit A>)
    • Unit - Create 1 <Unit 3> for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in <Region>) facing (Position of <Unit A>)

This is the trigger I use to create the 3 units. Unit 1, 2 and 3 are 3 totally different units.
So I want to make them a group, and make a trigger that'll change ownership of every1 in the group or I want to make a trigger that'll change theyre ownership individually, thesame way I created them with the above mentioned trigger. But for that last option, I have the issiue that I can't select units for triggers that are not placed on the map.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Pick all units in <REGION> matching condition unit type of matching unit is equal to <UNIT>?

I'll explain the whole concept of that part of my map.

I have 1 unit (the one I play with during the entire game and I'll call him Unit A), 3 unique units that were created due to a trigger 'Create Unit' (which I'll call Unit 1, 2 & 3) and 1 unit (which I shall name Unit B) belonging to the player that I want to get the ownership of those 3 units to.

The trigger I want to create is:
When Unit A leaves the Region where they're all in, Units 1, 2 & 3 will move (teleport) instantly to their own spots in another area.
Solution: I need to be able to select all 3 units individually in a trigger command, so I can place them through that same trigger on the spots in the new area where they are supposed to end up. Also I need to be able to select them, so I can change theyre owner. This is nessecary, becouse only Unit A may be moved to the next area manually.

If I don't do this, I will either have no units in the new area, units staying in an old area where they don't belong, or units under control that can couse major bugs or glitches in the game.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Maybe place units in the editor and use Unit - Hide Unit on the Map Initialization? Then you can select them in editor.

 

[Avator]

Yes, I've tried that, but then I see their Hero icons (since they're Hero units and have to stay Hero units) and I get a whole in my concealed map, showing what the area looks like where theyre hidden.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Set them to be owned by Neutral Passive in the editor and set variables and hide. Then give them to Player 1 via triggers and unhide with using variables.

 

[Eleandor]

Pick every unit in (last created units) and do actions?

Last created units are the units created with a unit - create action.

That's it, Super-Sheep! That's perfect, thank you!

Your reputation is increased


Last question remaining: How do I change this thread to a [Solved] thread?

 

[Super-Sheep]

No. It didn't. We dont gain rep from users that have no rep. D:

 

[Avator]

That's a weird system then xD
Is reputation something that u transfer, more then add to someone else? Do I need some reputation to give if I want to increase yours?
And how do I change the thread to [Solved]?

 

[Super-Sheep]

1 rep = +1 rep
100 rep = +2 rep
200 rep = +3 rep
... (something like this (im not sure))

And I dont know the "Solved" -thing. :/

 

[Avator]

Then you'll just have to be happy with my gratitude. I guess I'll just "Solve" it like this then.
Thanks again
