WE ignores condition.

[BloodDrunk]

how come my WE ignores conditions about checking unit's life or is unit dead or alive?

• (Life of (Picked unit)) Greater than 0.41

this condition simply doesn't works lol neither is unit dead or is unit alive.

• Mor Guld Crumble
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mor'Guld Crumble (Hero Ability)
  • Actions
    • -------- --------------- Set Variables --------------- --------
    • Set TrigUnit = (Triggering unit)
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of TrigUnit)
    • Set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 500.00 of TempPoint)
    • -------- --------------- Actions --------------- --------
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Caster for (Owner of TrigUnit) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set TempDummyUnit[1] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add a 0.30 second Generic expiration timer to TempDummyUnit[1]
    • Unit - Add Dummy Mor'Guld Crumble to TempDummyUnit[1]
    • Unit - Set level of Dummy Mor'Guld Crumble for TempDummyUnit[1] to (Level of Mor'Guld Crumble (Hero Ability) for TrigUnit)
    • Unit - Order TempDummyUnit[1] to Human Mountain King - Thunder Clap
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
            • (Life of (Picked unit)) Greater than 0.41
            • ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of TrigUnit)) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Naga\NagaDeath\NagaDeath.mdl
            • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
          • Else - Actions
    • -------- --------------- Clear Leaks --------------- --------
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)
    • Custom script: set udg_TempPoint = null
    • Custom script: set udg_TempUnitGroup = null

Here the effect is created no matter is unit dead, alive or it's life is greater or less than 0.41...

Anyone else had similar problem?

 

[Wrda]

I don't get why you need that condition, if the unit casts the ability it must be alive lol.
Edit: Store (Picked Unit) into a variable

 

[BloodDrunk]

I put conditions because without them, effect is created on every unit (regardless alive/dead)

But it seems that condition fails to check for reason I don't know

 

[Wrda]

What about

• ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True

 

[BloodDrunk]

1) how come my WE ignores conditions about checking unit's life or is unit dead or alive?
2)this condition simply doesn't works lol neither is unit dead or is unit alive.
3)Here the effect is created no matter is unit dead, alive or it's life is greater or less than 0.41...

....

 

[Wrda]

try with messages, if that doesn't work, that must be 1 of the WEIRDEST bugs about WE I've ever seen. You're going to try to delete those conditions and redo them again.

 

[BloodDrunk]

already did that

Yeh, I also think that's some weird bug with WE and It had to catch me

Idk, every my trigger including that is screwed because of condition not working

 

[Wrda]

You're going to try to delete those conditions and redo them again.

Try that, that resolved a problem of mine that when i set a unit variable and then use it to do stuff it didn't work:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • // some stuff
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set AUnit = Footman 0002 <gen> // THIS BULLSH*T didn't work. had to delete this variable, create the variable again and do this ._.
    • Unit - Order AUnit to Attack Someone

 

[Nichilus]

try using those conditions immediately when creating the group - instead of "units in range" use "units in range matching condition"

 

[BloodDrunk]

Will see what will happen

But again, why does it malfunctions in ITE?

Still not working, what the actual fuck?

 

[edo494]

this check doesnt work

How does it not work? Does it ignore units that have less health, does it ignore units that have more health, be more clear

 

[BloodDrunk]

it doesn't even behaves like there's any condition.

effect is created on every unit (regardless alive/dead check)

If there's a condition checking if unit is dead equal to false, meaning don't create effect is unit is dead, it still create effect on dead units

So, it ignores condition like there's no one

 

[Wrda]

Redo the if block.

 

[edo494]

sorry I didnt reply, it worked for me perfectly with 2 conditions, so I dont know where the problem is

test trigger

• fhfgfh
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Kill Rifleman 0003 <gen>
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) 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
            • ((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: (Name of (Picked unit))
          • Else - Actions

I tested the spell almost the same as this one of the blood, no bugs.
The problem is that WE has some weird bugs related to these things, which can be fixed by replacing the part of the problem, ridiculous.

 

[BloodDrunk]

Yep, my WE is known to have some dark, undiscovered bugs.

Just a few minutes ago, custom spell that has been working normally all the time suddenly started to create special effect on units that wasn't ever related to that spell at all. I didn't even touch the spell ever since I created it.

So I had to make new custom ability and replace it and it works normally now.
Satan is here, he's the one screwing with me.

Still, spell is creating SE's on dead units tho and not just that, every action that moves units or something regarding units is applied to dead unit too, with or without condition..

 

[Wrda]

You better take ur WE to the hospital, it needs fix.

 

[Assassins-Creed]

Every time a unit dies remove it from the unit group.

 

[Wrda]

it is an instant spell.

 

[BloodDrunk]

Has anyone ever had problem like this or similar and fixed it? I can't normally work on map, it's bothering me alot

Bump, still haven't found a solution.

 

[deathismyfriend]

u can only bump after 24 hrs. what are u still looking for ?

 

[Maker]

You could post a test map.

 

[BloodDrunk]

You could post a test map.

If you're willing to take a look at my map, I'll send you pastebin link

u can only bump after 24 hrs. what are u still looking for ?

I'm looking for solution because this is causing me big trouble sometimes. Maybe someone had similar problems and they'll eventually see the thread

i meant what is ur problem still.

 

[BloodDrunk]

My problem is that the conditions is being ignored always, and I can't normally make spells not to affect dead units.

 

[deathismyfriend]

check if there unit type id unit type dead. then check there unit type id and check if it is not equal to 0. if it isnt 0 then it is still alive.

 

[BloodDrunk]

check if there unit type id unit type dead. then check there unit type id and check if it is not equal to 0. if it isnt 0 then it is still alive.

I... didn't understand you? Please Explain Better

 

[deathismyfriend]

to filter out dead units u check if there unit type is dead. then u check if there unit type id is 0. if both are true the unit is dead. u might need custom scripts for these.

 

[BloodDrunk]

example trigger please. Looks like I'm way too dumb to understand what you are trying to say

 

[Maker]

if both are true the unit is dead.

That is not true. If unit type id is 0, then the unit does not exist anymore, it has been removed from the game.

 

[deathismyfriend]

thats right i meant to say if one is true. and it should be an or in the example.

 

[Wrda]

to filter out dead units u check if there unit type is dead. then u check if there unit type id is 0. if both are true the unit is dead. u might need custom scripts for these.

Why would he check unit type instead going directly by "unit is dead"? Btw when I only read your sentence for the 10th time I understood it. You could be more specific with your english, it's "their unit type is..." not there.

 

[Maker]

thats right i meant to say if one is true. and it should be an or in the example.

You also said this in a different post:

then check there unit type id and check if it is not equal to 0. if it isnt 0 then it is still alive.

What leads me to believe that you just didn't know what you were talking about. Dead units do have the same unit type id as alive units of the same unit type.

Why would he check unit type instead going directly by "unit is dead"?

It is said that in some cases, unit groups can have "phantom" units, units that have been removed from the game. But that is not an issue in instant abilities, that create a new group for every cast so there is no need to check unit type id necessarily.
