[Solved] Reducing the number of units that can be selected

[TheFrenchLeprechaun]

Hey there!

For my new map I would like to put the limit of selection to 6 units instead of 12. I don't know if it is possible, I didn't find anything on the internet...

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Unit Group can pick units that currently selected by players so use it
Example :

• Trigger exp
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 9 (Gray) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 12 (Brown) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Number of units in (Units currently selected by (Triggering player))) Greater than 6
  • Actions
    • Set Unit_Picked = (Number of units in (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)))
    • For each (Integer Integer_Loop) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Unit_Picked = (Unit_Picked - 1)
        • Selection - Remove (Random unit from (Random 1 units from (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)))) from selection for (Triggering player)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Unit_Picked Equal to 6
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Integer_Loop = 6
          • Else - Actions

Thanks, I will try it soon! +rep

I forgot to tell you that this thing only reduce the units that selected by the players after they selected 6-12 units so it doesn't work as well as you think

I understood the way it should work but :

The condition doesn't seem to work, it's strange... I tryed to remove it and put later like this :

• Actions
  • Set Unit_picked = (Number of units in (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)))
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Unit_picked greater 6
    • Then - Actions
      • For each (Integer Int_loop) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set Unit_picked = (Unit_picked - 1)
          • Selection - Remove (Random unit from (Random 1 units from (Units currently selected by (Triggering player)))) from selection for (Triggering player)
          • If (Unit_picked equal 6) then do (Set Int_loop = 6) else do (Do nothing)
    • Sinon - Actions
      • Do nothing

But here is a problem : there are Unit_picked different loops because when we do "Set Unit_picked = number units", it is done for each unit selected... This problem is logical but without the condition at the right place like on your example, I don't see any solution...

Help ^^?

You trigger is really messed up..

Condition inside a loop..
Do Nothing action
What the heck the Selection is that?.. random units from random units..?????

 

[TheFrenchLeprechaun]

Do you have a better idea neo sluf?

Ok i will try..

Your event is correct and using a unit group is correct..

Now your only problem is to make the unit group to have at 6 members only..

So one of the possibilities is..

If the number of units in UNIT GROUP X is equal to 7

Then

Unit remove 1 random unit from the group

Else

If the number of units in UNIT GROUP X is equal to 8

Then

Unit remove 1 random unit from the group
Unit remove 1 random unit from the group

Else

If the number of units in UNIT GROUP X is equal to 9

Then

Unit remove 1 random unit from the group
Unit remove 1 random unit from the group
Unit remove 1 random unit from the group

Else

If the number of units in UNIT GROUP X is equal to 10

Then

Unit remove 1 random unit from the group
Unit remove 1 random unit from the group
Unit remove 1 random unit from the group
Unit remove 1 random unit from the group

You know the pattern dude.. 6 - 7 = remove 1 /6-8 remove 2 /6-9 remove 3

Its really rude and unfriendly but it will work.. if still don't add a wait 0.02 seconds on each remove action..

Ok fine, but I think there is a problem with the event :

When I display the number of units selected, the number appears for each unit selected! For example : if I select 7 units, the number "7" will display 7 times, and so that means that the trigger will trigger 7 times... It is quite annoying ^^...

Thanks for your answers!

Maker, I face a problem when I import your trigger, a script error appears even if the script works well in your file... A variable name was expected...

EDIT : everything works fine! All the variables weren't copied... Thanks to all, +rep!
