Super Noob Question? How to pick all units by a player?

[Diaboro]

Hi, It's been driving me crazy that I can't find a GUI based function that picked all units owned by a player. I was able to do this in Warcraft 3, but I've started messing around with the SC2 editor and can't find a function for it.

You can see a screenshot here of me trying to do it.

Your help is much appreciated.

Theres a field onscreen which lets you filter for players.

Instead of All Players choose a player (1 is the first human slot and 12 is the last).

Hi, thank you very much for the replay, but I still have the problem. In the screenshot provided, even If I changed the parameter from Any to 1, it still works on only one unit that is randomly selected.

Is there a way to change (Any Units) to (All Units)?

 

[Dr Super Good]

There is no Any Units on screen, The "Any" is for the type (so all unit types are choosen). As it is it should be choosing all units matching that filter and running the actions on them.

The problem is the actions are probably total nonsense. The Wait is most likly messing up the enumeration on all units.

How to fix? Simple

1. Create group of units to affect and store as local.
2. Change movement speed of all units in group.
3. Wait
4. Change movememnt speed of all units in group.

Thus you are after enumerating through the group before the wait and after the wait. Storing the group as a local means multiple instances can run with no clash of variable space.

Thank you very much. Seems to be working

Yes but if you save the units under a global variable group, it can be accessed by other triggers. You could have 12 groups, 1 for each player and just add all their units to it.

This is an example of how I do it:

• Kill Everything
  • Events
    • UI - Player Any Player presses K key Down with shift Allow, control Allow, alt Allow
  • Local Variables
    • g = (Any units in (Playable map area) owned by player Any Player matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) <Unit Group>
    • u = No Unit <Unit>
    • ut = No Game Link <Game Link - Unit>
    • cv = (Integer((Custom value CVS of u))) <Integer>
    • p = 0 <Integer>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • General - Custom Script: gf_DebugMsg(StringToText("3..."));...

gf_DebugMsg(StringToText("3..."));
Wait(1.0, c_timeGame);
gf_DebugMsg(StringToText("2..."));
Wait(1.0, c_timeGame);
gf_DebugMsg(StringToText("1..."));
Wait(1.0, c_timeGame);
gf_DebugMsg(StringToText("MAP CLEARED!"));
UnitGroupLoopBegin(lv_g);
while (!UnitGroupLoopDone()) {
    lv_u = UnitGroupLoopCurrent();
    lv_p = UnitGetOwner(lv_u);
    lv_ut= UnitGetType(lv_u);
    
    if (lv_ut == gv_sheep) {
        gv_sheepCount[lv_p] += -1;
        gv_livestockTotal[lv_p] += -1;
        UnitGroupRemove(gv_livestockGroup[lv_p], lv_u);
        lv_cv = FixedToInt(UnitGetCustomValue(lv_u, gv_CVS));
        if (gv_gender[lv_cv]) {
            gv_sheepMale[lv_p] += -1;
        } else {
            gv_sheepFemale[lv_p] += -1;
        }
        gv_indexerArray[lv_cv] = false;
    } else if (lv_ut == gv_tree) {
        gv_treesCount += -1;
    } else if (lv_ut == gv_farmerMale) {
        gv_farmersMaleCount[lv_p] += -1;
    } else if (lv_ut == gv_farmerFemale) {
        gv_farmersFemaleCount[lv_p] += -1;
    }
    UnitRemove(lv_u);
    UnitGroupLoopStep();
}
UnitGroupLoopEnd();
