Unit Group.

[HolyBear]

So I need 3 random units from a group, and save them into var. The problem is the way I do it over writes the previous ones. Here Is my temp until I find a better way of doing it.

Code

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from Ka_Group[2]) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Ka_Unit[12] = (Picked unit)
    • Set Ka_Point[9] = (Position of Ka_Unit[12])
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from Ka_Group[2]) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Ka_Unit[13] = (Picked unit)
    • Set Ka_Point[10] = (Position of Ka_Unit[13])
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from Ka_Group[2]) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Ka_Unit[14] = (Picked unit)
    • Set Ka_Point[11] = (Position of Ka_Unit[14])

You do know you can change that random 1 unit to random 3 units.

Set two variables before the unit group and increase it for the index.

also don't forget to destroy the unit group you have created

So something like this?

• Set Ka_Int[10] = 11
• Set Ka_Int[11] = 8
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 3 units from Ka_Group[2]) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Ka_Unit[(Ka_Int[10] + 1)] = (Picked unit)
    • Set Ka_Point[(Ka_Int[11] + 1)] = (Position of Ka_Unit[12])

EDIT: Ya it doesn't seem to record it correctly. Only one of the units are working .

You need an intermediate integer which represents the offset in the array. Each loop you increment (increase by 1) the variable so the offset becomes larger. Instead of "some index + 1" you use "some index + offset".

Can you show me an example of using an intermediate integer. I've never used it before.

Not particularly, I do not have the time to teach basic programming. However here is an example I hacked from your code that may or may not work since the code itself, with static indices, is not very logical.

• Set Ka_Int[10] = 11
• Set Ka_Int[11] = 8
• Set LOOPINT = 1
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 3 units from Ka_Group[2]) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set Ka_Unit[(Ka_Int[10] + LOOPINT)] = (Picked unit)
    • Set Ka_Point[(Ka_Int[11] + LOOPINT)] = (Position of (Picked unit))
    • Set LOOPINT = (LOOPINT + 1)

Note the code has had the "Position of" unit changed for correctness as the other one was illogical.

Ok thx, I see where the mistake was made. Thanks a lot! <3
