Selling unit with "transmute"

[Dower]

Hello all, I have a little question here. I've been trying to make (self) sell ability like in TowerDeffence maps. But as results I've only got fatal errors.
(PLS no point values, I want gold to appear next to building when it's sold)

Here's some triggers of few tries of mine.

names

Sell = dummy unit (training)
Sell [EDITED] = Transmute ability

• Selling start
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Sell
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Sell [EDITED] to (Triggering unit)

• Selling finish
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Sell
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Neutral Alchemist - Transmute (Triggering unit)

An easy way is to make the self-sell ability actually a unit upgrade ability (like Town Hall upgrades into Keep, etc.), check whenever a new unit enters game (the upgraded version) and remove it +add gold.

Your triggers may not work because Transmute may not be intended to be cast on one self.

I want to gold appear next to sold "unit".
I have tested transmute ability it casts transmute on his self perfectly:

Testing triggers

• ability test
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Sell [EDITED] to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Neutral Alchemist - Transmute (Triggering unit)

Point value sell system is easier to make than upgraade:

Point value sell

Setting Point value equal to Gold cost
Training dummy unit
When finished training adding Player gold ((Point value of (Triggering unit) /2)
Removing triggering unit from the game.

(Its all about gold appearing next to sold unit without triggers. It removes all that triggering work).

Have you considered using floating text?

Ok Im done, thanks for your help
I've added Immolation ability with name "SELL" when it activates, it replaces immolation with transmute, and orders unit to cast transmute on itself, it works very fast and uses only 1trigger

Here's trigger if you would like to see:

• skill check
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Sell [EDITED2]
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Sell [EDITED] to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Neutral Alchemist - Transmute (Triggering unit)-

Have you considered using floating text?

I was thinking about that at first, but I hate all that playing with floating texts, and color codes. And plus I think that this sell "system" I've made here uses less space than any other.


OFC there's some minuses if you would accidently push sell it would sell building/unit immediately, so upgrade/train has some pluses too.

In following event:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit begins training a unit

You can not check unit type of trained unit.

It's impossible to get unit type of un-trained units, because they do not exist.
You only can use that unit type check after unit finished training.

Now that's something interesting u have told there, I'll keep it in my mind. It's really useful information actually. Thanks for commenting
