[Trigger] Probably the strangest thing...

[mushi]

• Events
  • Unit - A unit owned by Player 11 (Dark Green) Changes owner
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Ownership-changed unit)) Equal to Mage
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add mage_spells[(Random integer number between 0 and 7)] to (Ownership-changed unit)

this isn't working. ive tried about 10 other versions, changing the event and everything that should follow such a change, but it still refuses to work. does anyone see a problem with it?

I tried just adding a straight spell rather than a random one, but that didnt work either, so theres nothing wrong with the variables.

try Triggering Unit. I can't say I know, though >.>

- Check the trigger fires.
- Check the trigger gets the right unit.

Trigger tags fixed. Please use them in the future.

For the trigger, I can't really see anything wrong with it..

 

[Dr Super Good]

make sure mage_spells has been set properly. Otherwise it will be adding no spell to the unit. Rember it is an array so set each number individually.

 

[PurplePoot]

He did say that he tested it with random abilities, so I can't see that being the problem.

Exactly. and its really depressing me.
Im working on a new kind of AoS in which rather than just picking you hero at the start of the game you get a redemption/vengeance spirit (based on your team) to take control of the creeps spawned at your base.
there will be roughly about 15 different classes of these spawned units and after having controlled this unit long enough, it will learn random class based spells periodically. if your unit dies however, the spirit will be expelled and you will have to take control of an entirely new unit.

now that you know what i'm aiming for, perhaps someone knows another way around this dilemma.

oh and griffen, what do you mean by checking if the trigger fires? the event?

 

[paskovich]

Try not to make a separate trigger for adding the new ability. Instead, in the trigger where you put the action to change the owner of the unit, (check the unit's type, and) add the ability to the unit instantly.
I don't know what's wrong with it anyway...

Ok, thanks everyone, i fixed it,
i just simplified the event and it started working.
i guess WE just couldnt recognize it to hot.

thanks again.
