Trigger Request

[Thelordofsummoon]

I need a part of a trigger I can't get to work for my "Primordial Azeroth" map.

• Event
• Unit - A unit finishes the research
• Conditions
• (Unit-type of (Researching Unit)) equal to War Forge
• Titan Crystal Swords equal to (Researched tech-type)
• Actions
• Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the left hand of Orc using Judgement.mdx

The problem is:
This trigger will attach the model only on the Orc already present ingame, how can I make it to attach to every Orc already present ingame and that will spawn?
Like on that game...what's the name...Pimp my Peon!

+Rep to who will help me, thanks.

First add this *Trigger1*:

• Events - A unit finishes an research
• Conditions - Your conditions
• Actions - Set *group* = units in playable map area matching (matching unit equal to *your unit type*
  • - Unit Group - Pick every unit in *group* and do actions
    • - Unit add *dummy ability* to picked unit
  • - Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_*group*)
  • - Trigger turn on *trigger2*

Then *Trigger2* initialy off:

• Events - Unit is trained
• Conditons - Unit type of trained unit equal to *your unit*
• Actions - Unit add *dummy ability* to Trained unit

Use dummy abilities like sphere to add special effects, to avoid memory leaks.

Why not make a second trigger:

Event:
Unit Enters Playable Map Area
Condition:
Triggering unit-type is Equal to Orc
Action:
Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the left hand of Triggering Unit using Judgement.mdx

Make this trigger turned off at the start of the game, and when your original trigger occurs, turn this trigger on.

Thank you both, +rep.

Nice ways of getting my trigger work ! Didn't thinked at them...thanks once again!

Adding abilities is easier cuz he doesn't have to deal with memory leaks and custom scripts.

 

[Asomath]

I dont recall mines having leaks. And yours has a custom script... sooooo :O Abilities are fine too, I use them more then the special effect trigger, cause they are easier to manipultate

Special Effects leaks.
Every time you use them.
As do unit groups,as do locations, as do player groups.

 

[Lightskin]

dude, special effects can be deleted when a unit dies

 

[Kingz]

Like what?

• Events - Unit dies
• Actions - Special Effect destroy 998 special effect

Just use the abilities method.

 

[Asomath]

Kingz, yes we know the Special Effect trigger is less efficent. I personally use abilities. The only reason I posted it is because you already posted the ability way.
