Unit Problem

[GST_Nemisis]

i have a problem with killing a unit.

scenario---

a player can type -game for a game, but there is a maximum of 4 players allow to type this. when they type it a unit is spawned for them and given a number by the trigger

set MiniGameUnit[player number of (triggering player)] = (last created unit)

i then want to make that if any unit that isnt the same type of as the MiniGameUnit, comes within the estimate base area of the MiniGameUnit they are exploded.

could someone give me a trigger for this please. i have tried using the even "unit is within range" however i cannot select MiniGameUnit because it appears you cannot use variable in events.

please help asap!

many thanks, Dan

ps. working replies will get gold

hmm. I would make a trigger that runs every .5 second and then it picked all units in range ### of picked unit:
Unitgroup - Pick all units in range of (dunke-unit) and do - if unit-type of picked unit equal to (zaharazasti) then say what do we do now?

hmm i have a problem with that however.

im using this trigger, but for some reason MiniGameUnits[interger A] keeps getting killed instantly.

i dont know if u want any gold ralle but thanks for the help none the less

Ps. For anyone who is intrested or trying to leanr triggerss, here is the final of my trigger, it includes a little camera thing ive added just so im not using to many periodic time events (because that causes lag), so you can ignor those (they are right at the start).

PPs. Ralle like how well im doing with my "for each interger A" things? not bad considering i only learnt them 1 day ago
