[Trigger] Specific Unit Event help

[IdeaWang]

I've registered EVENT_UNIT_SELECTED on the trigger, and how to get the selecting/clicking player? I've already known that GetTrigerredUnit() to get the selected unit. I've tried GetTriggerPlayer() but the result is not right...

Here is the code

function myaction takes nothing returns nothing
    unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
    player p = GetTriggerPlayer() // WRONG!!!
    ...
end
function trigger takes nothing returns nothing
    trigger t = CreateTrigger()
    unit u = CreateUnit(...)
    call TriggerRegisterUnitEvent(t, u, EVENT_UNIT_SELECTED )
    call TriggerAddAction(t, function myaction)
    set t = null
end

That event is an unit event, not a playerunit event. So, GetTriggerPlayer() will not work here. Use GetOwningPlayer(unit) instead.

Edit: What iceman said.

It's like @SinisterLuffy said, GetTriggerPlayer() works for playerunitevent, but not for unitevent.

type playerunitevent   extends    eventid
type unitevent         extends    eventid

And the used event is of the type unitevent:

constant unitevent EVENT_UNIT_SELECTED                             = ConvertUnitEvent(57)

And the "A unit starts the effect of an ability" is of type playerunitevent, that's why GetTriggerPlayer() works there.

constant playerunitevent   EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT         = ConvertPlayerUnitEvent(274)

There's an alternative, though not specifically for one unit. But there, GetTriggerPlayer() and GetTriggerUnit(), both work.

call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SELECTED, null)
call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(trig, whichPlayer, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DESELECTED, null)

Good to know, thanks.

Thank you very much, I've changed my code to this.
