unit leaves playable map area question(s)

[WereElf]

Does this event run when a unit is removed from the game? call RemoveUnit(u)
And does this event run when a unit dies? Or it runs after the unit has decayed?

 

[IcemanBo]

Test it.

WereElf, thank you for another interesting question. No to all.

Does this event run when a unit is removed from the game?

Because there is no "unit" in that case? How can something that has already been removed trigger an event in a sensible way?

And does this event run when a unit dies?

No for normal units as the unit decays where it dies. For heroes it can trigger because after dissipate completes they are moved to the top left corner and hidden there.

Or it runs after the unit has decayed?

Same problem as with them being removed. How can something that does not exist trigger the event in a meaningful way?

StarCraft II solved this by eventually adding a "Unit is removed" event to the game after one of the patches which fires between being flagged for removal and the unit actually being removed. In Warcraft III there is no simple way to detect this as far as I am aware.

Just here to remind you that we have a 'Unit - A Unit Dies' Event.

Dead units still exist as units though. Removed units do not. Dying can lead to removal after decay, but need not in the case of resurrection or long decay times.

I was referring to WereElf. I'm confused why would he ever want to detect dead units via Leave Region Event if he can use A Unit Dies Event.
