Problem with trainging trigger

10-17-2009, 03:00 PM

I want to create a trigger that picks perodically one building of selected type and IF THAT BUILDING ISN'T ALREADY BUILDING SOMETHING then order it to train a Footman.
I created something like this :

Trigger:

test

Events

time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time

Conditions

Actions

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) of type Barracks)) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

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

If - Conditions

(Current order of (Picked unit)) Not Equals (Order(train))

Then - Actions

Unit - Order (Picked unit) to train/upgrade to a Footman

Else - Actions

Do nothing

But it doesn't work, units are queued in one building if it is picked several times.

Please help me

Rising_Dusk	I am pretty sure that "train" isn't the actual orderstring associated with training a unit. (I'm almost certain that order doesn't even have an orderstring..) Anyways, your problem is that you only pick 1 unit, you should pick all units and then act on all of them, but only issue the train order once.

Tritanis	But if I order all of them to train then after some time units will be queued in one of them, which I don't want to happen.

Rising_Dusk	That didn't make any sense. You don't order all of them to train, you just pick all of them in the group before selecting the first applicable candidate for giving the train order. It would do the same thing as you described in your first post as what you wanted, it would just actually work.

chobibo	Put the structures that are already creating/training units inside a group.

Sorry to confuse you, but im making an AI for my custom race via triggers and if I picked all production buildings, then if comp had more resources than NumberOfProductionBuildings*UnitPrice then unit would queue up anyway. I could have made this trigger run every UnitTrainTime seconds but I don't want to do that. Anyway, I'm thankful to you too :)

Thanks guys
