[Solved] Remove a unit from a group after x time

[Behemal]

• Explosive Belt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Bomb
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to TempGroup
    • Wait 20.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Remove (Target unit of ability being cast) from TempGroup

This doesn't work. I need to remove the unit from TempGroup once the buff applied by Bomb spell expires.

You need to monitor unit and see if it has the buff and if its gone remove the unit from the group.

Only way to do this efficiently is to use a timer set to the buff duration and then periodically poll every 0.03 or so seconds until the buff expires (hopefully when the first timer does).

TriggerSleepAction (GUI Wait actions) is not accurate enough.

Some event responses, like "Target Unit of ability being cast", will cease to function after waits. Others, like "Triggering unit", will work just fine. You can get around this by storing the unit in a local variable (something GUI can't do, but JASS can):

• Explosive Belt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Bomb
  • Actions
    • -------- This line absolutely must go first, else you will get compiler errors --------
    • Custom script: local unit TempU
    • Set YOUR_UNIT_VARIABLE = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • -------- Don't forget the "udg_" before the name of your variable --------
    • Custom script: set TempU = udg_YOUR_UNIT_VARIABLE
    • Unit Group - Add YOUR_UNIT_VARIABLE to TempGroup
    • Wait 20.00 seconds
    • Custom script: set udg_YOUR_UNIT_VARIABLE = TempU
    • Unit Group - Remove YOUR_UNIT_VARIABLE from TempGroup

Works like a charm, thanks
