Triggering Production of Units

[XxJizzxX]

I am making AI for my custom map and I have a variable for the Barracks so that when it is done it will begin making units heres what I have for it, although It won't have the barracks train units
Heres triggering to set barracks as the variable:
Barracks Variable
Events
Unit - A unit Begins construction
Conditions
(Triggering unit) Equal to BuilderVariable
Actions
Set BarracksVariable = (Constructing structure)
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
Please tell me how to correct this! +rep for help=)

Every X seconds, check owner of BarracksVariable current gold and/or lumber and, if it's greater than the unit's resource cost, order it to train/upgrade to (Unit-type to be trained).

 

[XxJizzxX]

But the problem is that it just isn't training the unit, not that they need more resources. is there anything wrong with the trigger?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Does the building itself train units? Check Techtree - Units trained in the Object Editor.

 

[XxJizzxX]

Yeah it does, its just something with the triggering, i'm nearly positive.

You want to manually train units or by triggering?

 

[XxJizzxX]

By triggering, I mean the thread is triggering production of units, and if manually you just left click so ...

 

[Pharaoh_]

I still don't get it; do you want to order your unit to train units? If so, did you use the action
"Unit - Order BarracksVariable to train/upgrade to a Footman"?
Also, use "Finishes construction" as an event.

 

[XxJizzxX]

I need to set the Variable to make the barracks a variable before it is complete, i used as shown above to set that variable, how should i set the variable before the building is complete?

This has quite good accuracy in picking the constructed structure:

Trigger

• Untitled Trigger 032
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Set u = (Random unit from (Units within 0.00 of point matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to (==) True)))
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: (String((Unit-type of u)))

Why not:
(Constructing unit) for retrieving unit which construction has begun (Event: Unit - Begins a construction).

(Constructed unit) can return unit which construction has been finished (Event: Unit - Finishes construction).

spinnaker, maker, triggering unit refers to the structure you cannot get what unit is constructing the structure, test this

• Triggers
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)

it kills the structure every time. The difficulty for any thing like this is finding the constructing unit not in finding the structure, as there is no function for constructing unit.

@XxJizzxX you can just use triggering unit to refer to your structure.
