[Trigger] Ranking buff for units gone wrong.

Superfrycook · Wednesday at 3:29 PM

When I make a custom race, a custom unit (which is a killing unit) receives a rank buff, but the buff belongs to dying unit. Feel free to ask, TY.

Can you show the "run sergeant rank" trigger? I suspect there is a "triggering unit" somewhere and in this case = the unit that died

You need to show the other trigger, the Sergeant Rank trigger, not the Ranking to Sergeant trigger.

Show Lieutenant Rank, because you only show Ranking to Lieutenant.

The ones you share doesn't exhibit any problem, so the ones you don't share is likely the source of the problem

Lieutenant Rank
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Killing unit)) using RankSnoutII_v2.mdx
  - Set VariableSet Lieutenant = (Last created special effect)

This effect will bug out if there's more than one unit promoted on the same rank. Another thing is the Position of Killing Unit might be loss during the wait.

So if a player unit kills an enemy, it gains a promotion buff on the overhead attachment and when a player unit dies, the attachment disappear.
