First of all, change every Casting unit to Triggering unit because it's faster.

Next, what's wrong, nothing happens?
If so, add a debug message even before the actual conditions to see if it actually fires.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

for some reason it doesnt add the unit to the unit group. i have a different trigger that randomly selects a unit from that unit group. that trigger actually works. it worked perfectly before i changed this trigger.

This condition:

• (foundation8 <gen> contains (Casting unit)) Equal to True

makes the spell unable to work. You are not sure that the casting unit is inside that region. In spells, we are discouraged to use regions. It is a must to use points.

The trigger below might solve the issue. This must be made MUI for good use.

• ConstructionOnSite
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to <your custom ability>
  • Actions
    • Set ConstructionOnSitePos = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Crypt for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at ConstructionOnSitePos facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ConstructionOnSitePos)

Instead create and removing them, you can use Unit - Replace function.

Well onto the trigger, well the unit did not get into the Unit Group ?
I think it bugs with Unit Finishes casting an ability because that ability is full of bugs such as it can't properly save (Target unit of ability being cast) if cast time is long and other else.

Well, if you use Starts the effect of an ability, it should work fine.

By the way, does this spell requires a certain cast time until it forces you to use the Finishes event ?

makes the spell unable to work. You are not sure that the casting unit is inside that region. In spells, we are discouraged to use regions. It is a must to use points.

If the spell is intended for only that particular map, it is still considered as spell and sure working, just you can't import it correctly because you have to pre-set a region for yourselves in your own game.

Also, maybe he has his own agenda, when someone cast this ability on that particular region, the owner will get this special unit namely Crypt custom and only in that region while other unit cast this ability outside the region, gets nothing.

His problem is here

Owner of (Casting unit)

There is not such thing called "Casting unit" after you remove it

I have same spell here. This one is MUI. You can use this but give credits to me if you use this in your map. I hope you know exporting spells to yoour map.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

starts the effect of an ability solved the problem. the script however do need to apply to multiple regions. is there a better solution to do that than copying the script for each region.

 

[Ironside]

Use the Or conditions function and specify each region, one per if statement.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

in what way. now i got a new problem. independent of what ability i choose the one it activates is transform into temple.

Do you really need this to occur just in regions?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

of course. that is how it works in the game i based the map on. when a unit of the type basal golem enters a region that contains a building of a certain type it learns specific spells that enables it to transform into units based on what building they are next to.

 

[eubz]

OK try this. if you are near any building, this spell creates that kind of building yoou are next to. just a try so you won't be thinking anymore.

EDIT:
I love this idea man. I just love this idea.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

interesting script but it isnt what i need. basal golems transform into a building selected from a build menu. the building appear on that menu when the basal golem enters a certain region.(called foundation.)then the basal golem that moves near that building gets units on its build menu that it can transform into based on what building occupies the nearby foundation. i have managed to get that part working though but when i click on any of the spells that creates the building it always selects transform into temple. all spells are based on destroyer form.

This is the most detailed info about the spell that you wanted.

 

[defskull]

I have answered this in your another thread, it's all about overlapping abilities.

You can add this trigger then.

[andreasaspenberg]

the only problem with that trigger is that i dont understand it.
