[Trigger] Unit Order problem!

[Mechmap]

• Order Footman to Orc Raider - Ensnare Brigand

Now this is just a line of my trigger but its this one that dont work. I have put ensnare in the footmans spells and removed requierments but he still doesnt fire the net.

I was thinking it might be because only the raider can use the that trigger. Maybe, maybe not. I dont know.

Is it possible to do this way? If so what do I do wrong?

If its not possible, is there another way?

Have you added the Ensnare Brigand ability to the footman?

 

[Eccho]

Ok. I have some possible cenario's why it doesn't work as intended.

1) The ability editor has two abilities having the same name. Ensnare in orc category, and ensnare in naga category. Check so that you picked the right Ensnare, and remove the requirements for both.

2) Are your example above an action with variables or "already-placed units"? Maybe you did something wrong, if you have the variables...

3) The Ensnare target must be visible for the Ensnare caster. It can't cast Ensnare on an unit within the fog of war.

4) Bridgand has the "hide" ability, allowing him to stealth when its night (you know I suppose). The Ensnare unit can't cast it on a hidden unit (however if the stealthed unit is hidden, but detected you can.)

Hope this is the answer on your problem : ) ?

Will try it eccho and yes redmarine, the footmen do have the ensnare.

Edit: Solved it myself, God im stupid! I was trying what you said eccho when i rememberd something i saw in a blizzard trigger comment in the first human mission in RoC i think.

"Ensnare cant target friends so we'll make the villager an enemy"

Well, problem was that ensnare could target friends so that was very easy changing that. Thx anyway!
