Unit/Item/Whatever gets in X range of unit = something happens

[Sporling]

Hello Hive,

I always have the same problem and i dunt know how to solve this...

Is it possible with gui to trigger like if a unit gets in range of a specialy unit it happens something?

Like

Unit of type Survivier gets in 500 range of unit of type Angry Wisp

Teleport unit (the survivor) to zone 1


and if it is possible is it also possible to make with gui that a unit takes items if the unit can see them? like the unit has 700 range and is random running around then a item appears in is sight radius and it stops all actions and grab the item?

I didn't found something like this in the tutorial area or in the forum maybe cause of my bad english anyways i hope someone can help

Greetings, Chris

• Events
  • Unit - Unit1 comes within 500 range of Unit2

i tried that but u cant use unit variables except u add the event with a trigger to the trigger and if i do this it doesn't works

Unit1-2 were place holders not variables.

Placeholders for a unit wich already is in the map right? but if the unit gets spawned in a event while the game is running i cant pick it

You can use Trigger - Add new event, then add that event and you can use variables.

Or you can use a periodic trigger (Time - Periodic event) and check the distance.

In what kind of situation are you planning to use this?

Its a surviving fun map while survivors have to survive (suprise suprise lol) and they are in a "magical forest" and there are dozens of events happening, like spawning a angry tree tower and a wisp and the wips is running randomly around and if units come in range of the wips they get ported to the tower and slowed i have this all done but i needed to spawn the wisp in the editor outside the map to choose it cause it wont let me use it as variable except if i use the trigger add new event but thats not really working at all D:

Add the units (whom you want to let the unit do something when any unit comes in contact with it) in a Unit Group and simply loops it:

• Check
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set GroupUnit = (Picked unit)
        • Set UnitLoc = (Position of GroupUnit)
        • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within XXX.XX of UnitLoc) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • -------- DO ACTIONS HERE --------
            • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ResetPoint

You can choose whether the survivors should enter the unit group, or the wisps (and all other creatures)

You forgot something:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_UnitLoc)
