Region wont move.

08-14-2008, 01:44 AM

I'm trying to move a region to the point of a summoned unit, but the region doesn't seem to move. I have a special effect trigger that makes an effect over the region when moved, the effect is created at the point of the summoned unit but the region fails to move with it. When i enter the region the entering unit dies, but the region is not under the special effect instead, still at the same place it started. What am i doing wrong?

The code below will explain everything.

Blizzard.j:

//===========================================================================
function TriggerRegisterEnterRectSimple takes trigger trig, rect r returns event
    local region rectRegion = CreateRegion()
    call RegionAddRect(rectRegion, r)
    return TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(trig, rectRegion, null)
endfunction

When you register "enters region" event, basically a region based on the rect you provided is created and then registered to the region event. This means the region actually responsible for the event won't change even if you change the source rect.

In order to achieve what you want, the most practical way is to create and assign a global region variable, then register this region to the event. Whenever you need changes, clear and add the desired rect to the region.

rulerofiron99	For GUI, give the Ward unit an attack and trigger it from that.
