Revive Trigger Not Working

[Karzama]

Hi,

I've gone back to an old map and have decided to make loads of changes. My current issue is that my Revive trigger/index isn't working, I've tried adding gameplay text to show what happens and all of it is running correctly. But it just isn't reviving the Hero.

The map uses Heroes as basic units because of the levels/stats, as there are lots of Heroes owned by that player would that cause the issue? If so does anyone have any other suggestions?

Yes it will cause the issue. Only the last 5 heroes to die will be saved and revivable, the rest will be removed permanently.

If so does anyone have any other suggestions?

Revive them instantly on death to prevent removal. Hide them and place them at a corner of the map. When you want them "revived" move them to the resurrection spot and unhide them.

Just changed it to this and it's still not reviving?

The loop might have an off-by-one error. The final index (boss entry) in the list is never tested.

Always add debug messages and share with us if wanted code runs or not.

(Center of Res Spawn Zone <gen>) -> ResBoss_SpawnPoint[ResBoss_LoopInt]

The final index (boss entry) in the list is never tested.

What/why do you mean exactly?

 

[Dr Super Good]

What/why do you mean exactly?

GUI for loops always confuse me and the global variable configuration is not shown however it could be that the way items are added to the list to be tested results in some items on the list not being tested.

I added gameplay messages to show myself that the conditions where being met, as far as I could see it should have been working.

However I think I might be better of saving the unit type + level and just creating a new unit entirely each time. It doesn't need to be the exact same Hero, just one that looks the same really.

Thanks for the help though, good to know these bits and bobs!
