Question about Events

[Numeror]

Hi,

I have a question about a certain event.

You know when in warcraft 3 campaigns a base is destroyed, or a group of units.

I have tried it several times, but it always ends with the wrong result.

I hope you can help me out with this

...what? Unit dies -event?

What are you trying to do?

Seconded

...what? Unit dies -event?

What are you trying to do?

Unit dies event, yes.

And I forgot what I was trying to do, cause I was in a hurry.

Erm, the thing is if a group units or buildings dies.

And then I mean all are dead. Then run some triggers.

This checks if all barracks of the owner of the dying unit are dead, or if the player has zero barracks:

Trigger

• Untitled Trigger 014
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Group_1 = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Barracks) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit))))))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Temp_Group_1 is empty) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Run Some trigger <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group_1)

Modify it to your needs.

Ah so I see. Thanks for your answer.

It seems I was heading the wrong way with my triggers.

I used Unit group. And then If/Then/Else, if picked units are dead equal to true then do some actions.

But I wondered why it didn't work.

Can you explain?

 

[axleion]

then post your trigger...
so people can see what may go wrong in your trigger.

probably, because this part:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ((Picked unit) is dead) Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
  • Else - Actions

picked unit in a group loop is always checked individually, or with your trigger example it will check from each unit in group you define, and then check if that unit is dead; if it is, it will run the action you specified.
so if there are 5 units in your group, and 2 are dead, it will run the action 2 times.

I see thanks for the information.
