Spawning Hostile Units & Seeting Acquisition Range for All

[Silverfish423]

Hello everyone!! I am making a trigger for my map that basically spawns a bunch of hostile units at specific regions since world editor can only support so many hostile units placed on a map at once.
Yet, due to the size of my map, acquisition range is important. (200 vs 600). So I was wondering if there is a way set an acquisition range for all of the units spawned, rather than each individual one. Ill show you what I mean.

Present Trigger

• Spawning
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Thunder Lizard for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H1 <gen>) facing 15.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Thunder Lizard for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H2 <gen>) facing 85.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Rogue for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H3 <gen>) facing 225.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Windwitch for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H5 <gen>) facing 85.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Rogue for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H6 <gen>) facing 360.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Rogue for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H4 <gen>) facing 135.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Windwitch for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H10 <gen>) facing 330.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Windwitch for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H7 <gen>) facing 15.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Windwitch for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H11 <gen>) facing 90.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Rogue for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H9 <gen>) facing 270.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00
    • Unit - Create 1 Harpy Rogue for Neutral Hostile at (Center of H8 <gen>) facing 200.00 degrees
    • Unit - Set (Last created unit) acquisition range to 200.00

As you can see, I am setting the acquisiton range for each "last created unit." This is messy and time consuming, so I was wondering if there is an easier/better way to do this? Thanks a lot!

Moved to Triggers & Scripts

functions --> jass or have another trigger with Unit enters Entire Map event and ask if entering unit is owned by Neutral Hostile or pick all Neutral Hostile's units in the end --> Unit Group - Pick...And Do Action

Since you're using GUI:

Use the actions in "Group" which will allow you to enumerate all the units matching xyz and do a set of actions to them individually

Hmmm, okay. I will try both out. Thanks a lot!
