[Trigger] Trade like in range

[medion555]

For my map i am trying to do a lil trade system (really simple one i thought)

What the trigger had to do whas when a trade boat comes in range of a trade dock that isnt owned by the owner of the trade boat the owner of the trade boat reveived 100 gold and the owner of the trading dock gets 50 gold

what my biggest problem is is the event i tryd unit comes in range but i had to select a unit or do a unit variable but i have to set tyhe variable to a unit of the type trade dock but without succes

so now i am wondering if its even possible in gui ?

+rep for helping me

If the docks are all there before the game starts you can do this:

Create regions and place them on the docks in the terraine editor. Then use the "Unit - Unit Enters Region" event to do what you want.



If not you might be able to set up a periodic that checks if there are any boats within an X-radius of the dock and then set a boolean to the handle ID of the boat so it doesn't re-do the exchange.

that would mean like having 20 triggers .... isnt there a better way?

Can the player build trade docks or are they pre-placed?

pre-placed

Then just preplace your Rect()'s and trigger unit entrances...
