[Trigger] Strange trigger problem... Only loading one unit... See inside

[Lightstalker]

The trigger is supposed to create one zeppelin and order it to load all units that were created with it, but it is only loading a single unit...

• Zeppelins
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to (Random integer number between 1 and 3), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set Spawn_Point = (Random point in Spawn_Region[(Random integer number between 1 and 4)])
            • Set Enemy_Force = (All enemies of (Owner of (Last created unit)))
            • Set Enemy_Point = ((Random player from Enemy_Force) start location)
            • Unit - Create 1 Ghost Zeppelin for (Picked player) at Spawn_Point facing (Random angle) degrees
            • Set Zeppelin = (Last created unit)
            • For each (Integer B) from 0 to (Random integer number between 2 and 3), do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Unit - Create 1 Random_Unit[(Random integer number between 8 and 11)] for (Picked player) at Spawn_Point facing (Random angle) degrees
                • Unit - Order Zeppelin to Load (Last created unit)
            • Unit - Order Zeppelin to Unload All At Enemy_Point
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Spawn_Point)
            • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_Enemy_Force)
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Enemy_Point)
            • Custom script: call RemoveRect(udg_Spawn_Region[5])

Don't feel like I know how to solve the problem 100%, but my mind says that the units for each integer created at the same time, so Zeppelin really loads only the Last Created. Maybe you should try to add waits?

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

I think that it takes time for the zeppelin to load those units.. it is unable to handle so many instantly. Try using waits, see if it solves the problem.

If it does, then I dont know of any other way to fix your problem, except MAYBE if you spawn the units at like 1 in game distance unit farther in the direction of the facing of the zeppelin.

I doubt that would help pthough.. maybe there is an option on the zeppelin to increase the range at which units can load at? I know when you load something, the unit that is going to take the unit into itself has to turn and face the unit.. so maybe if your zeppelin has to do that, it can only do it so fast, and your trigger would spawn them NEAR INSTNATLY, giving it no time to pick them up individually.

Again, waits are your only solution far as I can see.

Nothing strange here. As said twice, carrying out orders usually takes some time.

A solution(but in jass) is this.

 

[Zack1996]

Instead of ordering the zeppelin to load the unit, why not just order the unit to right click the zeppelin, the unit should load itself into the zeppelin when it is able to.

 

[chenlimin]

the zeppelin takes time to load a unit, and when you first order it to load, it would start loading, but with the 2nd order, it tried to load another unit, making it impossible to load. Trying waiting, it's the best way. Or spiwn's link to "OrderQueue".

 

[Lightstalker]

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I can't use waits because it's inside a loop. I could store the units in variables, then use waits, but then it wouldn't be MUI... (and I don't know JASS)

I also can't order the units to right-click the zeppelin because:
1) Zeppelin could be faster
2) units may be stuck in trees

Is there a way to directly create the units INSIDE the zeppelin?

 

[Palaslayer]

what about instantly moving the units to the position of the zepellin after there creation? they should be close enough then

else do the right click thing as well, ordering the zepellin to load is bad

and why do you use this strange integer thing with random number etc? plz tell me that cuz it makes no sence to me

Thanks I'll try that +rep.

The random integers are for creating random units for the zeppelin to load.

EDIT: Doesn't work.

• Set Enemy_Force = (All enemies of (Owner of (Last created unit)))

Is this seriously working?
Because i don't see a created unit above this variable trigger

In multiplayer it does.

as far as i remember when u click to a unit to load into a ship/zeppelin when the unit stop (becouse there is no way to go into the zeppelin/ship) then the zeppelin/ship is coming to take it, so try to force units to load into the zeppelin and he must pick them one by one after this

it works but then the zeppelin doesn't unload them.

This is my current trigger:

• Zeppelins
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to (Random integer number between 1 and 3), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set Spawn_Point = (Random point in Spawn_Region[(Random integer number between 1 and 4)])
            • Unit - Create 1 Ghost Zeppelin for (Picked player) at Spawn_Point facing (Random angle) degrees
            • Set Enemy_Force = (All enemies of (Owner of (Last created unit)))
            • Set Enemy_Point = ((Random player from Enemy_Force) start location)
            • Set Zeppelin = (Last created unit)
            • For each (Integer B) from 0 to (Random integer number between 2 and 3), do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Unit - Create 1 Random_Unit[(Random integer number between 8 and 11)] for (Picked player) at Spawn_Point facing (Random angle) degrees
                • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Right-Click Zeppelin
            • Unit - Order Zeppelin to Unload All At Enemy_Point
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Spawn_Point)
            • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_Enemy_Force)
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Enemy_Point)
            • Custom script: call RemoveRect(udg_Spawn_Region[5])

 

[onix_noob]

i don't know why zeppelin tdon't unload them becouse i never have use zeppelins and now i no have time to test but i don't belive to be hard to make it unload them all

Order Zepplin to Load Last created unit group this Should work or add them into a unit group and order the zepplen to load them ^^

 

[Dr Super Good]

No, the problem is it can not load them all at once as it takes time to load each one. Try changing object editor parameters to reduce that delay and it might work.

[Dr Super Good]

Did you try messing with the objectt editor, variaos values for the abilities and unit that does the transporting. If you can get rid of the delay there, then it may work instantly.

Otherwise, you will have to create them 1 at a time and load them with delays before the next unit is created.
