Why?!

[MsAlexis]

Alright. I have this:

Events - Unit - A unit enters Selection 1 <gen>

Conditions - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Soul

Actions - Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
Unit - Create 1 Hero for (Triggering player) at (Center of Spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees


I'm trying to make it so if a soul goes into the region (Selection 1) it will kill the soul and spawn a hero at the spawn region. I tried testing it and it did nothing except kill the soul. It didn't spawn the hero. What am I doing wrong?

There is no (Triggering Player). You need to use (Owner of (Triggering Unit)).

Got it! Thanks!

Add the spawn location in a variable... and then remove it.

• Event
  • Unit - A unit enters Selection 1 <gen>
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) Igual a Soul
• Actions
  • Unit - Remove (Entering unit) from the game
  • Set TempLoc = (Center of Spawn <gen>)
  • Unit - Create 1 Hero for (Owner of (Entering unit)) at TempLoc facing Default building facing degrees
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

Removing a leek won't fix the problem although is recommended.
Oh yes and use Triggering Unit instead of Entering Unit in such a trigger that uses only one event such as this(pretty much in most cases)

Warning: (Triggering Player) works for GENERIC UNIT EVENTS to refer to the (Owner of (Triggering Unit)) but this is a "A unit entes region" event, so, it doesn't work.

I know Triggering Unit is faster, but sometimes doesn't work for me with this event. Entering Unit never fail me

(Triggering Unit) would never fail if you use any unit event. The other event response (Summoned Unit, Summoning Unit, etc.) are for cases when you have multiple events, or you need to detect more than one event responde (Like Caster and Target of Ability Being Cast), but (Triggering Unit) will always work even if you use a Wait action inside a trigger; wait actions would make your "Entering Unit" = null.
