Need trigger help!

OK, i've tried to make a simple but efective way of splitting a group of units into 2 groups, acctually to make units from one lane split and go 50% on one lane and 50% on other.

I thought that this would be an easy and efficient way of dealing with this problem but it wasn't. The units want to stay in one bunch and all of them goes onto one lane. I've tried to fix this a few times but it doesn't work.

Here's the 2 triggers.

Trigger:

hu orc to ne

Events

Unit - A unit enters orc hq <gen>

Conditions

(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)

Actions

Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Random point in orc diagonal spawn <gen>)

Trigger - Turn on hu orc to ud <gen>

Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Trigger:

hu orc to ud

Events

Unit - A unit enters orc hq <gen>

Conditions

(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)

Actions

Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Random point in orc north spawn <gen>)

Trigger - Turn on hu orc to ne <gen>

Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

I've got many ideas of why this happens. None of them does make any logical sense, so i'm starting to think that they just don't wanna go away from eachother

The one that's dominant = the one that always get's it's order to work is the bottom one.

If someone can help me with this i'll be happy

I don't care if it's done by JASS or GUI as long as it's easy to understand, beacuse i'm gonna use this trigger again in different parts of the map. Plz help me!

EDIT: The units which are in the region when the trigger is activated are sent to the diagonal lane, all others are sent to the north. Hope you can help!

EDIT2: The trigger works now. Tnx for helping me. I use Fledermaus' trigger. - the reason for bug was (i think) a simple typing error in another trigger (wich my jasshelper didn't find and wich didn't make the game crash) The help i got was still helpfull, though. Hope you all can help me next time i get stuck too! I didn't change anything more than that i think so i has to be the typo that bugged.

Anopob	Why not assign the units with a custom value of 1 or 2, and then depending on what their custom value is when they enter a region, you diver their path to direction 1 or direction 2?

Fledermaus

Something like this?

Trigger:

Trigger

Events

Unit - A unit enters orc hq <gen>

Conditions

(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

RandomBoolean Equal to True

Then - Actions

Set TempPoint = Random point in orc diagonal spawn <gen>

Set RandomBoolean = False

Else - Actions

Set TempPoint = Random point in orc north spawn <gen>

Set RandomBoolean = True

Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To TempPoint

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

EDIT: removed the leak.

Michael Peppers	Seems good enough to work. BTW, maybe this won't change if it works or not, but try putting (Entering unit) instead of (Triggering unit)

Blacktastic	I feel like a "switch" would be perfect here. Unit Enters Region. If Switch = 1 Go Left Set Switch = 2 If Switch = 2 Go Right Set Switch = 1 Also, Triggering unit works for Entering Region, and is actually slightly faster. If the switch method doesn't work, I suggest either putting a small gap in the unit spawn (maybe .3 seconds) or doing the custom value idea.

fille3002	Thanks for all the help! The part that makes this a little bit harder is that they are, after all, going through combat, which means that the groups they spawn in prbly will be uneven after a while. @Bat: tnx, i'll try that one! I'll come back if it didn't work.

OK, i tried, but with the same result.

Trigger:

WC3C hu orc redirect test001

Events

Unit - A unit enters orc hq <gen>

Conditions

(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

CreepRedirectHuOrc1 Equal to True

Then - Actions

Set TempPointHuOrc1 = (Random point in orc diagonal spawn <gen>)

Set CreepRedirectHuOrc1 = False

Else - Actions

Set TempPointHuOrc1 = (Random point in orc north spawn <gen>)

Set CreepRedirectHuOrc1 = True

Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack-Move To TempPointHuOrc1

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPointHuOrc1)

those bad creeps... They just don't wanna split...

Hope someone can help me! I've tried this a few times now but it still doesn't wanna work... Any solution is welcome!

Anopob	Are the creeps entering the same region and how far apart are they with each other unit?
