Region Variable Help

[Tompoolk]

I have recently decided to get back into modding Warcraft 3, and have got far in creating my map. But I have encountered a problem with the "Region-Move" command.
I am wanting a region to constantly be centered on a unit; so I created it using a "periodic Event of 1 second", to then center the region "Hero Region" on to the specific unit.
It didn't seem to work so then I tried making a region variable as the "Region-Move" explained it would not work unless the designated region was a variable. I created a region "HeroRegion" and a command that as soon as map initialization commenced the "HeroRegion" variable would be set to equal the region "Hero Region". Still with this I had no success, and could find no tutorial help for this problem.
If you could perhaps offer any ideas on how I could correct this, as I am most likely making a simple, (and most likely stupid), mistake.
Many thanks.

Common misunderstanding. The region or better yet rect does get moved but the "Unit enters/leaves region" events do not update because when the event is created, the area of your gui rect is transfered to a newly created jass region and this jass region is actually registered instead.

Thanks this helps, do you have any ideas on how to correct this problem, and make it work?

You may alter the region or recreate the trigger but GUI does not give you access to.

But you can also go alternatives like using the "Unit comes in range" event or periodically picking nearby units, storing them in an own group.

GUI doesnt support the trigger add event to another trigger ?

That would not clear old events. GUI does not support the destruction/creating of triggers ingame. You also cannot get access to the jass region and modify it.

ooo ya true lol i forgot about clearing the old events haha
