[Trigger] What in the hell am I doing wrong?!?!

[MalfunctionStrmrge]

I have been having a problem with WC3 triggers ever since I looked into the editor. Okay, so I decided to open up an Untitled map and mess around with stuff. HOWEVA, once i get into the triggers, whenever I test the trigger in game, the damn things never work! None of em! I MUST be doing something wrong, because the damn trigger editor is acting like it's hating me.

Change it to

• Conditions
• (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)

and

• Unit - Create 1 PEWPEW for Player 9 (Gray) at (Center of Revive <gen>) facing 313.00 degrees

to

• Unit - Create 1 PEWPEW for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Revive <gen>) facing 313.00 degrees

What are you trying to do that isn't working.

 

[Ripoff]

(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)

Aint triggering unit the one that kills the dying unit? If that is not what u want, change it to "dying unit"

 

[b_a_d]

(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)

Aint triggering unit the one that kills the dying unit? If that is not what u want, change it to "dying unit"

that wont matter since the triggering unit is the dieing unit so no matter what that will work

Your second trigger has no event. No event means the trigger doesn't know when to start running.

And the condition in the second spell is useless- remove it, the trigger will execute anyway.

On the first spell you need to pan the camera for Player 9 (Gray).
And you should store your units into variables, it should look like this: (PEWpew IS A VARIABLE!!!)

• Revive
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit dies
  • Conditions
    • And (All conditions)
      • (Triggering Unit) equal to PEWpew
      • Owner of (Triggering Unit) equal to Player 9 (Gray)
  • Actions
    • Wait 3.00 game- time seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 PEWPEW for Player 9 (Gray) at (Center of Revive <gen>) facing 303.00 degrees
    • Set PEWpew = (Last Created Unit)
    • Camera - Pan camera for Player 9 (Gray) to Position of (PEWpew) over 2.00 seconds
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 9 (Gray) the text: Your PEWPEW is back...

LOL, I just now noticed that I totally messed up on the camera panning, my bad .

But wait, why do I need this?:

• Set PEWpew = (Last Created Unit)

Why do I need to tell it that it is the last created unit? I mean, even though it is, what is it going to change?

 

[idodik]

So the trigger will refer to the unit's PEWpew each time it respawns. Once your trigger ends you don't have a way to refer to the unit, so you put it in a variable to refer to it later.
