[Trigger] Owner of local unit not detected?

[Fakuspakus]

• Custom script: local unit udg_Devour_Caster
• Set Devour_Caster = (Triggering unit)
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (((Owner of Devour_Caster) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) or ((Owner of Devour_Caster) Equal to Player 2 (Blue))) or (((Owner of Devour_Caster) Equal to Player 3 (Teal)) or (((Owner of Devour_Caster) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)) or ((Owner of Devour_Caster) Equal to Player 5 (Yellow))))
  • Then - Actions
  • [...]
• Custom script: set udg_Devour_Caster= null

So my problem here is that if I make unit a local, condition is not getting detected.
If I remove custom script part then condition is met, but I need unit there to be local.
Any ideas?

Hmm, I suggest using a unique local variable instead of a shadowed global variable.

The global variable will be assigned, and the local variable will copy the value of the global. After the conditional statement, set the value of the global variable to that of the local variable.

it looks okay at first glance. Try adding a line "Game - Display text..." after you set devour caster to display the name of the unit, and also add another message in the Then - Actions and Else - Actions.

I have a feeling something else is the issue. Post the rest of your trigger if you can.

The issue is that the trigger checks the if conditions in another function and so don't has access to the local variable of the original function.
You can work around by creating your own if with custom script as well.

• Custom script: local unit udg_Devour_Caster = GetTriggerUnit()
• Custom script: local player udg_Devour_Caster_Player = GetOwningPlayer(udg_Devour_Caster)
• Custom script: if (udg_Devour_Caster_Player == Player(0) or udg_Devour_Caster_Player == Player(1) or udg_Devour_Caster_Player == Player(2) or udg_Devour_Caster_Player == Player(3) ) then
• Unit - Explode Devour_Caster
• Player - Set Devour_Caster_Player Current gold to 750
• Custom script: endif
• Custom script: set udg_Devour_Caster = null
• Custom script: set udg_Devour_Caster_Player = null

Thanks for help guys.

• Player - Set Devour_Caster_Player Current gold to 750
• Custom script: endif
• Custom script: set udg_Devour_Caster = null
• Custom script: set udg_Devour_Caster_Player = null

This worked like a charm for me.
