removing a unit with locust through trigger

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Hi all,

I use a dummy unit for an effect for a building, and I want to remove it as soon as the building is detroyed. I use this trigger for it:

• Remove RCore Effect
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Nuclear Pylon
  • Actions
    • Set TEMP_PointRadiating2 = (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 25.00 of TEMP_PointRadiating2 matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Radiation)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TEMP_PointRadiating2)

This works. Except for when I give the unit the locust ability (in object editor), than the dummy locust unit does not get removed. Anyone know a solution? Thanks in advance!

You can't pick locust units. Hmm, i guess maybe just make the effect you're using as an special effect, then remove it afterwards when the building got destroyed?

You cannot pick locusts with any unit-groups that have to do with position (in range / in region).
You can, however, pick them with "Owned by player"-unit groups.

This will be able to pick a locust unit:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) of type Locust) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

You can still do a position check within the unit-group itself.

Thanks guys for steering me the right way, it works perfectly now. For others who need it:

• Remove RCore Effect
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Nuclear Pylon
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Dying unit)) of type Radiation) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Hide (Picked unit)
        • Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetEnumUnit(),'Aloc')
        • Unit - Unhide (Picked unit)
    • Set TEMP_PointRadiating2 = (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 25.00 of TEMP_PointRadiating2 matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Radiation)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TEMP_PointRadiating2)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Dying unit)) of type Radiation) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(GetEnumUnit(),'Aloc')

set point = pos of trig unit
pick units of player
--set point2 = position of picked unit
--if distance between point and poin2 < 25 then
----remove picked unit
--remove point2
remove point
