Hmn. At first glance i see no errors.
I guess its cause you pick the player in the last line, but it should work properly.

Did you try with another event? Such as escape?

And you can also try to save the players into a Player variable (Player[]) And then do from integer1-12, and use Player[Loop A] Instead of picked. It might work.

Basically I want to deselect certain units when selected by a player.
But it wont do anything! The trigger hates me.. =(
I tried replacing trigger so it would show a message but nothing!

Is there an other way to deselect certain units lets say if the unit is in a unit group called NOSELECTION xD. That's what I want.
Or even better, when custom value is 1. =

can't you simply use:

• Actions
  • Playergroup - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Selection - Clear selection for (Picked player)

Well, I need to check if a unit is in a certain group because not all units are supposed to be unselectable.
So I need to run an if/then/else at a certain point. And without picking units I can't say for example picked unit is in unit group A or something like that.

 

[UreDe4D]

well i made it from the original post, but you want something like that:
a player selects 12 units, and like 4 of them are supposed not to be selectable, and those 4 should be removed from selection?

Yes, basically that's true.
But the trigger I made for that just wont run himself.
I think it's because I create a loop inside a loop. Not sure though..

EDIT: In the trigger I posted in the first post I deleted all the if/then/else mumbo jumbo.

clear selection?

 

[Airandius]

clear selection?

The problem is not removing the selection, the problem is making the trigger run.
It wont do anything inside the loop even if it is something simple like show a game message.

Change the Event:

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 selects a unit
  • -------- Such event for each player --------
• Conditions
  • -------- Here you make sure it's the unit-type you want and all --------
• Actions
  • Selection - Remove (Unit - not sure how to refer) from selection of (Triggering Player - or something)

I know it's kind of fucked up, but I guess you get the idea.

Hey there is a selection event, never saw that.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

>.<

How would you do it then?

And you refer to the unit by Triggering unit.

I'm not that dumb... Sjees.
I just never saw that event, I was always looking at the unit events.

-Solved-

 

[Palaslayer]

just give the units locust, maybe? or is it to be only temporary

It's already solved, and locusted units can not be attacked and that's.... well not supposed to happen.

would be imba, eh?

I'm sure there is a problem with the Selection - Remove part

          • Loop - Actions
            • Selection - Remove (Picked unit) from selection for (Picked player)

Maybe the cause of this problem lies in there because it's only for one unit right? So you can't deselect a whole group, I think.

Plz correct me if I'm wrong.
