[Trigger] Preset help.

[Dannyboy361]

I'm having trouble with a trigger, any help will be most helpful:

Effect;
Unit- A unit is attacked

Condition;
(Attacking unit) Equal to ________

Action;
Special effect - create a specail effect attached to the weapon of (Attacking unit)
Special effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)


As you see on the condition i have left a blank space, this space is supposed to contain a certain unit, but not just one unit already on the feild. I need it to work on all units of this model, such as if was has been created via building. I'm guessing you need presets to do this, so the question is:
How do i add units to a preset?

Thanks in advance

How does this model look like exactly? You can check whether the unit is in a custom unit group, which you fill on other events with the proper members. As for completing unit training or units being sold, there are events for that.

How do you create a custom unit group?

 

[WaterKnight]

Set up a unit group variable, you only need one so no array, init value is already an empty group. Add/Remove units via actions Group - Add/Remove Unit and check for a unit's presence in the group via boolean function Unit - Unit In Unit Group.

Have you got a picture example? Sorry i'm not so good with triggers.

or you could just add an ability to all units with that model and do

• (Level of dummy ability for (Attacking Unit)) NotEqual to 0

it would be a whole lot easier.

now why would it need a unit group, nor level up?...

in jass it would be like...
GetUnitTypeId(GetAttacker()) == 'hpea' hpea means peasant raw code ID...

in GUI, it would be UnitType

Because it was spoken of a model, not a unit type. That's why I inquired. Grouping of units is a general method to mark units. I would not add them an ability because that's actually more inconvenient. You need to create object editor stuff, may have to get along with its quirks, for example that the unit loses the ability when morphing unless you turn it permanent (this option is only accessible via jass though) and you cannot create new abilities ingame, thus you cannot create new flag types.

Coz in my understanding;
- Create a new unit in the object editor, referenced as 'h000' for example
- Change its model
- Then filter the attacking unit as a UnitType (in this case, the 'h000')

surely this trigger will not fire if the attacker is not footman...
