[Trigger] Weird trigger flaw

[jule]

• Gate open
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Open (Q)
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Triggering unit) Not equal to Gate House 0159 <gen>
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: Nyaaah
      • Else - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: Xd

Uh, so hello.
This way the trigger works. Both of the messages are diplayed.
But when I change "not equal to" to "equal to" then the message is not displayed.
I tried "casting unit" instead of "triggering unit" but no.
Any idea?
Tusen tack to anybody, who can help.

Does the house have the ability. Or is the house the target unit of ability being cast?

In addition to what Maker asked you, the easiest way to check who the Triggering Unit is, is by displaying the "Name of (Triggering Unit)" (instead of the "Xd" you have now, which only tells you the trigger does indeed run).
From there, you should be able to make your own conclusions.

Hi.
Maker, the house has the ability.
Thanks for your advice apocalypse; I tried it and a name was displayed, correct one, but I have no idea what to do with the information. But i'm sure this kind of trick will help me in future.

Can you tell me what exactly do you want to achieve ?
A house, that can open another house ?

 

[jule]

Ok.
So there are several "Gate houses" which can cast the same ability.
I narrow them down by this "triggering unit equal to gate house..."
But it doesn't work.
I have no idea how this can't work. The unit who casts the spell is clearly the triggering unit.

Well, its obvious that it dosnt work when u change to "equal to". That states that Gatehouse 0159 <gen> isnt the triggering unit. Maybe u want to change the event to "begins casting an ability"? and make Gatehouse 0159 <gen> the triggering unit

 

[deathismyfriend]

Try changing the event to unit begins casting an ability

 

[Almia]

what about moving the triggering unit is equal to the conditions?
changing events does not make any sense

 

[Tirlititi]

Change the condition to an unit-type comparison :

• (Unit-type of (triggering unit)) equal to Gate House

 

[Wrda]

Change the condition to an unit-type comparison :

• (Unit-type of (triggering unit)) equal to Gate House

Finally, someone that can think what the problem is. Jule if you have many gates "gate house 001", "gate house 002", "gate house 003" etc... You can't make the condition checking if the triggering unit is a SPECIFIC unit, you have to check the unit type, because its all "gate houses" type. However, you should rename that "gate houses" because it doesn't really make any sense.
