[Trigger] Replace unit after order-queue empty?

[Nano]

Hi there, what i'm trying to do is when a unit finishes building, i want to swap that unit to another unit.

What i have is this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
• Conditions
  • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Tower Builder (Anti-Matter)
      • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Tower Builder (Electricity)
      • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Tower Builder (Gun)
      • (Unit-type of (Casting unit)) Equal to Tower Builder (Siege)
• Actions
  • Unit - Replace (Casting unit) with a Tower Builder using The new unit's default life and mana
  • Set Builders[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Last replaced unit)
  • Trigger - Run Check Abilities <gen> (ignoring conditions)
  • Wait 0.05 seconds
  • Selection - Select (Last replaced unit) for (Owner of (Last replaced unit))

The problem with that is that if you shift+build (i.e queue up buildings to be built) it will just ignore that and the unit will be replaced as soon as the first structure is built and then it will no longer have the building in its building list so it cannot complete the rest of the queue.

Is there any way for me to only replace *once* its order-queue is empty?

Alternatively, is there anyway for me to replace it only after its build menu is closed?

Thanks

Check the unit's orders after it finishes building; if they're null, then it has nothing else to do.

theres an event that checks when a building is done being constructed

 

[PurplePoot]

He (probably) knows, JS, but that wouldn't help if there were other units in the queue.

I tried it as:

• (Current order of (Casting unit)) Equal to (Order(<Empty String>))

but that doesn't seem to be working. Am i doing one of those things wrong?

 

[PurplePoot]

After <Finishes Casting> the order will always be null anyways, and there is no Casting Unit afaik, only a Triggering Unit.

I figured the casting would be 'Repair' since these are cloned Peasant units and i figured that would be why it'd work.

I was searching yesterday and i found that it was actually meant to be "Order(none)" instead of what i have, but that still doesn't work.

Why would the order always be null? Wouldn't they have an order to build the next building in their queue? (and then in the case of a Peasant, repair it)

 

[PurplePoot]

Oh, change the event to Finishes Constructing a Structure. Repair isn't detected.

I was assuming it was an order-interrupting ability, but repair isn't detected by Cast events anyways.

 

[Just_Spectating]

thats what i said.

Err i'm not trying to steal the post but i have a similar question with this. So there is nothing such that it detects null order?

see above?

Where abouts is "Finishes Constructing a Structure"? All i can see is "Finishes Construction" which i assume would refer to the building.

 

[PurplePoot]

Yes, that's it.

I think Triggering Unit should refer to the builder. (They have a (Constructed Structure) but not (Constructing Unit))

• Builder Revert
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Current order of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Order(none))
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions

    • Wait 0.05 seconds
    • Selection - Select (Last replaced unit) for (Owner of (Last replaced unit))

I think i tried that this morning but i tried it again just now and it still doesn't do it =/

And with it that way, even if i remove the:

• Conditions
  • (Current order of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Order(none))

it still doesn't work.

 

[PurplePoot]

Hmm... that's a pain, then.

I'll try to think of something.

Thank you oh wise and knowledgeable one!
