[Trigger] Very simple trigger does not seem to be working, I have no idea why.

[vlekje5]

• East indian company unit group add
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) Equal to Free company mercinary
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Entering unit) to EastIndianMercs
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Hint message: Unit added to group...

Second part:

• East indian company
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in EastIndianMercs and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Mana of (Picked unit)) Equal to 10.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Replace (Picked unit) with a Free company mercinary (ranged) using The old unit's relative life and mana
          • Else - Actions

the goal is to replace the unit to a ranged version as it reaches 10 mana, however. when playing the unit is not transforming.

I know for a fact that it is added to it's unit group correctly since the text message fired like it should.

Does anyone have any idea what i am not seeing? thanks!

On a quick look-through these triggers look fine.

Only problems I can think of is if the unit has more than 10 mana or if they somehow get removed from the unit group.

If it has more than 10 mana the condition should be changed to 'greater than or equal to' and then have the unit be removed from EastIndianMercs to prevent it from constantly being replaced.

Maybe your unit's mana is stored by the game as 9.999999 which is not equal to 10.0.
It's better to avoid using the exactly equal comparison with real/floating numbers, use something like "greater than 9.95" instead.

To both replies above, i've used greater than before and it didnt work either, the units are capped at max 10 mana, however for testing sake i set the trigger to trigger at 5 mana. For a while this worked. However when i added triggers related to keeping the selection (which have nothing to do with this trigger to begin with) it stopped working again. I'm kind of dumbfound to be honest.

Edit: I have decided to ditch this method of solving the problem, Instead i shall be using triggers to manually increase the units range and change it's dmg. As this also prevents it from becomming unselectable. the problem was indeed in the fact that mana didnt register correctly, so im just going to set it a bit lower.

You could also try checking if the Mana % is equal to 100%. You'd have to post your Selection triggers to make sense of what's going on there.

I just copied the two triggers into a map in world editor. They work fine.

It has to be because you didn't remove the unit from the unit group after it gets replaced. If the selection trigger runs after the unit's replaced that could explain the problem there.

wouldnt it just keep changing into the same unit then? i've ran into this problem though, i can see that being the case. I also changed the units animation by using a tag and while at first it worked it stopped working when i moved the implementation to this loop.

Btw, Do you have any idea if the 'unit enters the map' event fires after a unit is replaced? Is it counted as a new unit or is it just seen as the same unit with a different unit it's based on?

Edit: The trigger works now, it seems like the problem has been solved.

Replace unit uses the Create unit action so it will fire the enters the map event.
