Triggers wont work

[DredLord2]

My unit replacing trigger is not working. When you pick up the armor, you change from "Spy" to that unit. Which works, but when you drop it you should turn back into "Spy", but the game completely crashes, no warning, no nothing, just exits. I thin kit has something to do with the item trasfuring, any help?

On the trigger "Footman armor Aquire" pic, below the pic is the same exact trigger u see, but for different color players.

Just base a spell off the "chaos" ability. Give it to the spy, and he will turn into a footman without dropping anything.

PS: Post your triggers between [ TRIGGER ] tags. Just right-click your trigger title (the one above 'Events') and choose Copy As Text. Then paste is between the tags and you got a trigger like this:

• Sample
  • Events
    • Unit - I show you the trigger tags info
  • Conditions
    • TeachedPlayer Equal to DredLord2
  • Actions
    • Set TriggerTagKnowledge = True

How do I get the "Choas" ability to be casted onto the unit?

 

[Devine]

It's odd ...
Perhaps you should try something else then "hero manipulating item"

I guess the trigger will enter in an infinite loop...

The spy acquires the suit. Then it loses all of its items. Then it is replaced. Then it gets the items back. Ok.

But when he loses the suit, the items will be dropped, then it will be replaced and turn into a spy. Then it will get the suit back again! And turn into that unit again.

And that unit will have all its items dropped. Gosh! It will turn into a spy again!!

And so on...

I suggest you to use Trigger - Turn off Footman Armor Drop in the beggining of the first trigger (before dropping ANY item) and Trigger - Turn on Footman Armor Drop in the end (after every item is given back).

Do the same in the second trigger, but turn off/on the first one.

How do I get the "Choas" ability to be casted onto the unit?

Just add it to the unit you wish to change.

 

[DredLord2]

I tried on/off triggers, 6 different ways, didnt work. Im sure "choas" ability would work, if I knew how to cast it onto a unit.

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

Don't you mean "chaos" ability?
You just need to add it to the unit you want to change. It's not castable.

 

[Hoernchen]

Chaos is an ability used by blizzard to change units quickly. For example, when you research Berserker Rage for the Troll Spears in wc3 melee, all trolls will get new models (is in fact a new unit). So just take the Chaos(Troll) spell from the standard orc unit spells, edit the unit it should change to, and then add the "Chaos" spell to it via trigger.

 

[DredLord2]

Ok, I made 2 chaos abilities, 1 to turn into footman, and other to turn back into assassin. Turning into footman works just fine, but when turning back into assassin it messes up. When u pick up the armor, "Apply Footman Armor" (chaos ability) activates, turning ur model into footman. When you drop the armor "Remove Footman Armor" (2nd chaos abiltiy) should then activate turning u back into assassin, but instead the character dies, but it does not play his death animation. I put the triggers below, but I named them wrong so look at 2.jpg first, then 1.jpg, then 3.jpg. No where do I see anything that would make the character die... I also put up the chaos abilities. Any more ideas?

 

[Hoernchen]

It could be that once you added a chaos ability to a unit, you cannot remove it.

You can use

[DredLord2]

I can use wat?

 

[graystuff111]

Can you remove it and then add another chaos ability that turns it back?

 

[Dr Super Good]

It is probably crashing due to it being transformed straight back as soon as you drop the item. Maybe add some small delays.

 

[DredLord2]

The game does not crash anymore, when the unit drops the item, he does turn back into an assassin, but, its a dead assassin... Doesnt make sense. I alrdy posted the triggers and abilities, let me now if u think it might be something else.

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

In the replace action, try "using the new unit's max life and mana"

 

[DredLord2]

Hey! I got it to work! I didnt have to use chaos ability, all I had to do is use basic, remove/create triggers... The reason it didnt work the first time is caus I tried to transfur the items in inventory between the 2 units... It may look crapy this way, but at least it works.
