PlayerGroup Help

[Spartipilo]

Hi!

I made this variable:

• Set PlayerGroup = (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing))

And this Trigger:

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Buying unit) from the game
    • Player - Make (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Unavailable for training/construction by (Picked player)
    • Unit - Move (Sold unit) instantly to CenterOfRegion[3]
    • Unit - Make (Sold unit) face (Selling unit) over 0.00 seconds
    • Selection - Select (Sold unit) for (Owner of (Sold unit))
    • Unit - Add Chat speed to (Sold unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Chat speed for (Sold unit) to 4
    • Hero - Modify unspent skill points of (Sold unit): Add 4 points
    • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Sold unit)) to PointBetweenUnits over 0.50 seconds

In the Trigger i'm using (All Players) and works great, but wanted to use variables to prevent leaks, the thing is: if i change (All Players) for the PickedGroup variable, doesn't works. Creates the hero, but doesn't move it to the region, neither removes buying units, etc...

Shows us whole trigger, including Evets/Conditions. (All players) doesn't leak, nor it has to be removed.

 

[Chaosy]

why dont you use a unit group for this?
yeah as spinnaker said it is easier if you share the whole trigger

 

[Spartipilo]

BTW, offtopic, i'd like to know how to set the white circle flash under a unit, so the player know who's talking. I though it was "Flash a speech indicator" but i see no circle..

 

[baassee]

Create a special effect beneath the unit instead.

Use All Players and in the player loop you use an if which sorts out all the players that aren't playing.

 

[Spartipilo]

What effect you mean?, The White Selection Flash Circle?, How do I place it "Beneath"?

And: ok, thanks, i'll use "All players". Anyway, I doubt any computer would pick a hero xD, not even having the hero chooser.
I didn't find the way to do it as Player Group. The hero was getting added 4 points per Player in group.

 

[baassee]

White selection flash circle? I don't recognize that effect. You put it at the origin of the unit.

 

[Spartipilo]

Its the right function.

Cinematic - Flash a speech indicator for (Selling unit) of color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency

It flashes a white circle under the unit.

 

[baassee]

Apparently it doesn't work.

 

[Spartipilo]

No, it worked I did test and it's there, that's already solved I was playing around with it and suddenly appeared Maybe i just didn't see it the first time.

 

[baassee]

but i see no circle..

Thought otherwise

 

[Bribe]

Just create a trigger that removes a player from (All players) the moment
he/she leaves the game. (All players) only includes playing human players
anyway.

 

[baassee]

What it does?!

 

[Bribe]

Yep. Blizzard uses ForceEnumPlayers for it which only counts human players.
