Isufficient data to tell why this doesn't work. We need to know how may heros each player in the group has and how many players are allies of player 1 and 7.

Also the
  • Set Duel_Unit[x]
triggers seems unnecessary though I'm not sure if you use it somewhere I don't see.

If you will upload the map or supply this data you will have a better chance of someone helping you.

One thing could be that you have made your variable arrays with too few "spaces"

Example;

Your Player_Group[1] and Player_Group[2] - The variable is probably declared like an array with 2 "spaces"

Now, then it should be Player_Group[0] and Player_Group[1]

As, arrays start on zero, not at 1. Try this and post if this doesn't help ya.

Agreed, you should try and make it easier on the eyes :eekani:

To me it seems like your using too many unit group variables than you need to, I could see doing your Duel Start trigger in a much more efficient way, but I have a very hard time figuring out your global variables.

I tried changing the variable arrays to start from 0.But it still doesn't work.I did the Duel_Unit[X] so that I could make sure the picked unit wasn't a unit that was picked.
Here's the map

OK I took a look and the Duel Start trigger looks confusing as ever, it looks like you have six unit groups with one unit in each and only 4 unit variables from an array being set, which really threw me off. By the way instead of using a periodic timer Every 1.00 seconds of game time for your Duel End trigger, why not jus use the Event Generic unit dies so it runs smoother? Better yet if you do decide to use that make sure to include the condtion Unit type of dying unit is a hero for the boolean comparison.

I suggest you scrap the filters, and just add/remove the units from the unit group as they die/revive

What do you mean by scraping the filters and I had a trigger that when a unit dies,the triggering unit would be removed from the unit group.

Put all the units into two groups

Pick one from the group
place him in the arena, then remove him from the group.

When he dies, add him back to the group.
