Unit comes with "Unit-type" variable

[VicALV]

Hi HIVE!

i created this thread because i need help creating a unit comes trigger.

in my map i have a lot of unit called CHEST, and i want to create a trigger to show effect when you get closer to one of the chest.

I know how create a unit comes trigger but my question is:

Do i need create 30 trigger for 30 chest? or is a method to use a unit-type variable to save all the units?

Thanks For The Help!

Don't try to think hard-coding them. Using unit-type variable would be efficient enough.

You can always Add Events through a trigger. Maybe use a unit group, loop through all units of type chest, and add the event (Unit comes within ___) to a trigger, where you then do an action. This has the added effect of not requiring any more work for more chests you add.

i will submit the example map

Something Like this?

If the effects are all the same, then you can do it in one trigger. (actually two, 1st is to pick all unit and add event to trigger 2nd; the 2nd shows effects; or puts triggering unit into a group and create effect over time in a 3rd one)

In response to a unit enters X range of unit event there is no way to get the unit who's range was entered, only the unit who entered the range.

The only solution I know to this problem is to create a unique trigger per unit. You can then use a hashtable to map the unit to the trigger. When the trigger fires you can then use the hashtable and the triggering trigger to get the unit who's range was entered.

Another less efficient and reliable approach would be to add all the possible units who's range was entered into a group. You then search through the group for the unit which is approximately the range distance away from the entering unit. Problem with this approach is scalability (complexity O(n)) and that the wrong unit may be returned in the case of entry at a point of intersection of entry ranges.

Be aware that attaching the event to a unit stops the unit from being able to use auras. It seems auras and the event use the same system in a mutually exclusive way. Not like you will be attaching auras to the chest though...
