[Solved] Unit move order after revive

[CodeBlack]

Hey guys. Me again ^^

I got a Unit that uses the Kaboom ability to blow up the enemies and then revives.

My problem now is that my trigger, that should send them towards the enemy after they got revived, doesnt work.
Any idea?

Are you sure that the first trigger works? Maybe add a text message to see if the first trigger works.
You order them to attack move. Can they even attack? Your units need to have an attack to be able to attack-move.

Just tested...trigger seems to work.
and yes they have an attack with 1 damage.

 

[Jampion]

Could you add this text message above the first if in the second trigger. Then you would know how many units are in the group.

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Number of units in Temp_Wispgrp)))

How are you reviving these units?

Do they start moving and stop then or are they not moving at all?

just checked as you said...adding them seems to work

i revive them with the help of the reincarnation ability.
They get spawned, move along the lane, blow up, get revived and then...well... they bake in the sun...

 

[Jampion]

Ah I think I could have found it. If the second trigger runs while they are dead it does not work and they are removed from the group. How long have you set your reincarnation ability?
You could add a condition if the unit is alive, so the unit gets not removed if it's still dead.

still doesnt work...as far as i know units that have this ability and it is not on cooldown dont really count as "dead" while they are waiting to be revived. :/

 

[Jampion]

the function is unit alive returns false for units with reincarnation just checked it.

Create a new boolean variable Boolean and use these functions instead of your Unit-Order function.

• Custom script: set udg_Boolean = IssuePointOrderLocBJ( GetEnumUnit(), "attack", udg_temp_point )
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Boolean Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: true
  • Else - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: false

I don't know if you know JASS, but all order functions in JASS return whether they are succesful or not.
With this code we could see, whether the order function works or not.
You could also use this to put the remove unit from group into the then-block so the unit only gets removed, if the order was succesful.

You should try what @Jampion suggested again, as that very method works perfectly for me. I've posted my triggers below.

• Test 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Kaboom! (Goblin Sapper)
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to TempGroup

• Test 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempLocation = (Position of Scout Tower 0001 <gen>)
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To TempLocation
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempLocation )
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from TempGroup
          • Else - Actions

Thanks for your help guys...i just discovered the stupidity of my Problem... the trigger works just fine except for one thing: it only works if the Unit gets blown up by Kaboom, not if it gets killed by an enemy.
Problem Solved

thx jampion again ^^ thx for repeatedly trying to help.


EDIT: Forget what i just said...i added a trigger to add the dying units to the group...still doesnt work properly... single units do what they should but when it gets to a group of units always at least one doesnt move after revive...

 

[Jampion]

Maybe you can send me the map. Would make helping much easier.

done...check your messages.

The only trigger where you add the wisps to the wisp group is the trigger Kaboom Effect and Heal, which only fires when kaboom is used. So normal kills will result in the wisps standing around.

You can check it using this trigger. All wisps will be revived afterwards and won't move.
If wisps are close to enemy units they might move though.

• KILL
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing kill as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 6 (Orange)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

The problem here is, that you cannot use a unit dies, because units with reincarnation do not "die".
You need a different way to detect when wisps die for the first time to add them to the wisps group.

Also attack move towards the enemy base will cause the wisps to move through the forest.

 

[CodeBlack]

yea that they move through the forest is ok...i just didnt set a proper system to check where they need to go...ill do that when they start to movbe at all Oo

mmm...ill think about it tomorrow...maybe i find a way to detect when they die....

thx again for your help!
