[Trigger] Repick

[Veldris]

hi Im trying to fix Repick system by making it only Remove heroes but it aint working

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
      • Else - Actions

this is not the whole trigger

Save the picked unit to a variable and remove the variable instead.

How do I do that? like this?

• Set RemovedUnit = (Picked unit)

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by (Triggering player)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Remove RemovedUnit from the game
      • Else - Actions

No, you don't need to set it to a variable when you remove it, only when you pick it. I assume this is for a hero pick system?

• Pick
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Paladin for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set PickedHero = (Last created unit)

• Remove
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -repick as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove PickedHero from the game

This is the gist of it but should give you a general idea.

I use

• Set MyUnitGroup = (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in MyUnitGroup and do (Actions)
• Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_MyUnitGroup)

This doesn't make any sense at all. All these options are fine, why yours wouldn't work?

this is not the whole trigger

THEN POST THE WHOLE DAMN TRIGGER. This is the 3rd time you post a partial trigger instead if you posted the full trigger you wouldn't be wasting everyone's time, including yours. Why wouldn't you post the full trigger anyway?
The only reason yours wouldn't work is because of the trigger's event, and the event response doesn't match that, so fix it. I bet all my money that's the problem.

Your action works fine, so the problem is probably the event.
In general, it's a very good method of diagnostics to check if event is even triggered, for example, with an endgame message saying "Triggered" at the very start of the trigger. If that doesn't appear, you know that the trigger isn't even being run.

Also, please, post the whole trigger the next time. It helps.

THEN POST THE WHOLE DAMN TRIGGER.

Deep breaths man, deep breaths.

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -repick as An exact match

Minor detail, don't know if it has been changed since I last saw it, but hitting the "-" (minus) sign, even in a chat message, will reduce the game speed in single player. As a result, I tend to use / (slash) instead. Of course, it's only a matter of hitting the plus key to reverse it, but it's still a pretty bothersome detail.

 

[Wrda]

"-" doesn 't reduce game speed if you're going to type a message.

 

[Cespie]

"-" doesn 't reduce game speed if you're going to type a message.

Like I said, may have changed since I saw it, which was well over a decade ago. I still recommend avoiding it in case people hit it out of order though.
Thanks for the update in any case!
