Hi im sure this has a very simple solution but currently i just cant seem to get it to work, im trying to make a trigger where the event is getting a meat wagon attacking ground in a certain region (if you arent aware meat wagons attack ground skill is an aoe). currently i can do everything i want with the trigger except get the event to register the attack the problem is that world editor only allows the events:

Order Targeting a Point
Order Targeting a Unit
Order Targeting an Object

And as an aoe attack is not an attack which targets a point but rather an area it isnt working. Am I missing something or is there some work-around which I should use? Any assistance would be amazing!

Thanks in advance,
Achoozoo

Make your own version of the skill but make it target point aiming. Just change the AoE of the skill to 0 and use triggers to make the skill damage AoE.

Wow. I've got to learn some JASS and cinematics...

But I can't find any good guides on it. Most guides just talk about parameters variables blah blah but I want to know what to type to get what action.

Regions can be linked with a variable from Point-type
The Center of Region Action
Therefore, you need to clean only the point, not the region itself
Although in Cinematics if we want to clean Region, do this:
  • Custom script: call RemoveRect(udg_variablename)

To remove region,use
JASS:
native RemoveRegion
You can't refer regions in GUI though.
The region palette creates rects upon which regions are created in BJs when using GUI.
