[Trigger] Unit peon classification

[halleylight]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently having an unsolvable problem that I'd like to receive help from you.

• Being Attacked In Stealth
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 5 (Yellow) Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Current order of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Order(<Empty String>))
        • Stealth_Check[0] Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Hint message: abc
        • Unit - Add classification of A peon-type unit to (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Hint message: zzzzzz
        • Unit - Remove classification of A peon-type unit from (Triggering unit)

I'm trying to set a hero's classification flexibly depending on whether he's being attacked or not. If he's not, then I add a Peon classification to him so he wouldn't start aggroing and if he's being attacked, I remove the classification so instead of running away he will start fighting back. The Stealth_Check variable here is only for checking whether my hero is inside a region or not () since I only want this trigger to run within this region.

The problem is that everything seems to run well, I get the Quest Display to print out text to ensure that my conditions are correct. However, it seems that once my hero Peon classification is removed, he will never regain it again even if the fight's long over. I don't know what caused this, especially when I get the abc and zzzzz hints printed out correctly. Please help me figure out the problem, thank you very much !

Hi, interesting system you have here. I haven't worked much with peon-type classification myself, so all I can really recommend is that you set the hero to a worker in the unit editor initially, and see if that solves it.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Setting hero classification in the editor initially cannot help with the dynamic switch later on during the gameplay, so well... any other ideas ?

Have you considered triggering it in a more complex way? There should be an event along the lines of "unit acquires a target".

Thanks for replying, but can you clarify it better for me ? I've only started using the Trigger Editor for 3 days so I haven't seen all options yet. Thank you very much !

Here are the events that you can experiment with:

• Acquires Target
  • Events
    • Unit - No unit Acquires a target
    • Unit - No unit Notices a target in range
  • Conditions
  • Actions

This event is under Unit - Specific unit event, which means that you'll need another trigger to attach it to this trigger.
When the hero enters the game, do this:

• Trigger - Add to Acquires Target <gen> the event (Unit - hero Acquires a target)

The rest should be easy, good luck!

Your solution looks a bit complicated to me and I guess by trying to go all the way with it, my map is going to be a lot laggy. Therefore I decided to drop this matter at the moment since there's not a really effective solution to it. Thank you very much for helping me !
