[Trigger] Unit death trigger location check

[sk8er754]

K im trying to figure out how to make a trigger that checks if a certain unit type dies in a region where if it does it creates a doodad at a different region.

I need to have it recognize a units death in a region of a certain unit type and then have it create a doodad after the death of the unit in a region. Maybe break it up into 2 triggers since for now its just a one time trigger.

• Blah
  • Events
    • Unit - A Unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering Unit) is in region (blah) Equal to True
    • -------- I'm pretty sure you can have this as a condition, not positive, I don't have the WE on this computer --------
  • Actions
    • -------- go crazy ---------

type

is that a boolean (unit - Unit in Region) for the condition?
oh didnt read that u cant use WE to check, my bad but thanx for the info, i might've found it

If there is one, then yes.

As I said, I recall seeing such a condition but I may be incorrect. I know JASS has one anyhow. (And alternatives)

alt method

I found one of those alternatives =). Thanx again

I have a similar trigger already: It has several regions (Holy Wood, Dark Wood) and several unit types rabbit, stag, etc) I'm only posting a bit of it here:

• Reg Unit death
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Rabbit
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Darkwood <gen> contains (Dying unit)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Destructible - Create a Ashenvale Tree Wall seedling at (Random point in Village 2 <gen>) facing (Random angle) with scale 1.00 and variation 0
• Else: do nothing

Region contains dying unit is under boolean conditions:

Unit- unit in region (rect in WEU)

Of course I direct you to: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35124 to clean it up.

I use WEU which has point - remove location in this case it reads:

Point - Remove (Position of (Last created destructible))

The if-then-else stuff should be moved into the conditions, for efficiency.

And you can remove locations with the normal WE:

If you're using GUI, it's just

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_VarName)

I believe I said: "I have a similar trigger already: It has several regions (Holy Wood, Dark Wood) and several unit types rabbit, stag, etc) I'm only posting a bit of it here:"


However I agree if you only have one dying place for only one spawn area then move all conditions to conditions and just leave the action and take out the if/then/else.

You could also make a variable that says when unit enters region set unit blah.

Then when unit leaves region set unit blah = none.

Then have a trigger unit dies
if dying unit = blah.

That's my way

It's more effort, and only works if a single unit is in the region, and no more.
