[Solved] Problem with Last Created Unit

[Mechanic]

Hello. I have problem with the last created unit trigger, and also with the last special effect created. If 2 players casting same ability at same time, it will cause the first unit created and special effect created to becomes not be the last unit created and special effect created anymore because of other player used the same ability at same time or almost same time, you know. I am thinking custom of value, you know, number of player casting the ability? How do you make variables to work like number of player casting ability to match for the last unit created and last special effect created?

• Cast Capsize2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Kaboom! (Goblin Sapper)
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet AS_TempPoint[10] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 for Neutral Passive at AS_TempPoint[10] facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set VariableSet ExplosionEffect = (Last created unit)
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove ExplosionEffect from the game
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at AS_TempPoint[10] using Environment\LargeBuildingFire\LargeBuildingFire1.mdl
    • Set VariableSet SpecialEffect = (Last created special effect)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy SpecialEffect

-----------------------------------------------------------

How do I make it work with number of player like this?
Example:

(Trigger Player 1)
Event:
Unit begins casting an ability


if
Condition:
Ability being cast equal to Kaboom
Ability being cast equal to Player 1


then
Action:
Create unit with Player 1
Variables with Player 1
Create special effect with Player 1
Variables with Player 1
Triggering Unit with Player 1




(Trigger Player 2)
Event:
Unit begins casting an ability


if
Condition:
Ability being cast equal to Kaboom
Ability being cast equal to Player 2


then
Action:
Create unit with Player 2
Variables with Player 2
Create special effect with Player 2
Variables with Player 2
Triggering Unit with Player 2




(Trigger Player 3)
Event:
Unit begins casting an ability


if
Condition:
Ability being cast equal to Kaboom
Ability being cast equal to Player 3


then
Action:
Create unit with Player 3
Variables with Player 3
Create special effect with Player 3
Variables with Player 3
Triggering Unit with Player 3

Create integer variable
Then set variable myinteger = player number of owner of unit(triggering unit)

To make it more efficient you should also store the player owning the unit into player Variable.

Add index arrays on other variables
Variable X[myinteger] = xxx
Variable Y[myinteger] = xxx

You can also locally shadow the global so it won't be overwritten: local udg_

Also, you probably want to use "A unit starts the effect of an ability" as the Event.

    • -------- ---Increase global integer--- --------
    • Set VariableSet TempInteger = (TempInteger + 1)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint using Environment\LargeBuildingFire\LargeBuildingFire1.mdl
    • Set VariableSet TestSFX[TempInteger] = (Last created special effect)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy TestSFX[TempInteger]
    • Set VariableSet TempInteger = (TempInteger - 1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

This should work. It just needs a better recycle for the special effect. Other than that it runs smoothly.

If someone could fix the special effect recycle, maybe @Uncle

@DoomBlade
You can use another Integer as a 2nd Index.

You increase the new one Integer after the 2.00 second wait and then use it as the Index for TestSFX.

Then at the end add an If Then Else, "If TempInteger1 = TempInteger2 then set TempInteger1 = 0 and set TempInteger = 2". Note that these two Integers need to be unique and used ONLY for this effect.

Like this:

• Actions
  • Set VariableSet Int1 = (Int1 + 1)
  • -------- --------
  • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of (Playable map area)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
  • Set VariableSet Sfx[Int1] = (Last created special effect)
  • -------- --------
  • Wait 3.00 seconds
  • -------- --------
  • Set VariableSet Int2 = (Int2 + 1)
  • Special Effect - Destroy Sfx[Int2]
  • -------- --------
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Int1 Equal to Int2
    • Then - Actions
      • Set VariableSet Int1 = 0
      • Set VariableSet Int2 = 0
    • Else - Actions

So if another unit casts the spell during that 3.00 second wait, Int1 will have increased by 1, thus Int2 will not be equal to it once the Wait is over.

Here is the final trigger and a test map with the final version.
You are welcome. And thanks for help Uncle!
