Why Won't This Trigger Work?

Goblintrain · Jun 23, 2018

If i remove the conditions, & make the event elapsed time, it works! What on earth is wrong with my event/condition setup? I swear it is the same setup i have used for many other upgrade triggers in the past. Why doesn't it work on this one? ;(

And, TY in advance for taking the time to look at this... wherever you are!

use trigger tags instead of code tags.

Also, I am not so sure if your event is correct.
Are you sure that event triggers when a unit is upgraded?
I would try to use "finishes research" event instead.

I could also speculate that there could be a glitch with that many abilities being added to a single unit, but I am not sure. It is hard to say without knowing what you mean by "not working", does it run at all?

Goblintrain · Jun 23, 2018

Chaosy, TY for your time. Yes, surprisingly enough, it does run, provided i change the event/condition arrangement. As far as i know it completes the trigger.

As for the trigger/text tags... i can't seem to keep that straight. I have RL memory issues... which, i suppose has a lot to do with why this stuff is so difficult for me!

Have we had this same conversation before? It seems like this is a repeat?

Ok... i went and reviewed some previous posts, Y see again how do trigger tags.

Anyway, you gave me the clue that seemed to fix it. Using "Finishes Upgrade" & "Triggering Unit" instead of construction/constructed makes it work. Here is a test without the body of upgrades, but i tried it with the full body of upgrades as well and it still worked.

Test
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
- Conditions
  - ((Triggering unit) is A town-hall-type unit) Equal to True
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - Or - Any (Conditions) are true
        
        Conditions
        
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Keep
        
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Stronghold
        
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Halls of the Dead
        
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Tree of Ages
    - Then - Actions
      - Game - Display to (All players) the text: By Jove! It's WORK...
    - Else - Actions
      - Do nothing

sooo... wow! And to think... i have been working on THIS one problem for the last 15 hours! :0

TY for your help again Chaosy!

In fact... i bet i could remove the whole "is a town hall type unit" qualification now, because that is already being addressed in the If/Then/Else action.

BTW... that abilities list is the entire Neutral Hostile list, with a good part of the Neutral Passive thrown in as well. It took quite a few hours to compile. For the sake of GUI users who might want to upgrade creep ability levels in the future, do you think it might be useful to share as a resource? It may not be clever, but it might be a lot of tedium some one else could be spared!
