Stop showing message when unit is dead

[PaulieD]

Hello fellow Hivers,

I don't know why this trigger is not working, as I don't see any reason why it shouldn't.

When one of the servants (=Tidal Guard) is killed, I want to display a message from a boss (Arineon). However, in a case the boss is killed faster then the servants, I want the message to not appear (as he is dead obviously).

Can someone give me advice?

• Arineon Elemental Death 4
  • Events
    • Unit - Tidal Guard 0367 <gen> Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions
    • If ((|cffffcc00Arineon, the Tidal Lord (Elite)|r 0210 <gen> is dead) Equal to True) then do (Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)) else do (Do nothing)
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: |cffffff00Arineon,...
    • Unit - Order |cffffcc00Arineon, the Tidal Lord (Elite)|r 0210 <gen> to Attack (Killing unit)
    • Wait 4.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

I think turning off the trigger does not stop it's current run, just makes it not run again. why not just have as a condition - arineon is alive. that should do what you want.

Works just fine, thank you!

Also, if you wish to Turn off the trigger with the idea in mind that it's only meant to run once, don't use the Wait. Instead, Turn it off as the very first Action.

even though in this case turning it off is pretty unnecessary, bc it only triggers once (when that specific unit dies) anyways. (@Uncle am I wrong?)
