Picking units in range problem

01-07-2011, 01:23 PM

Hey, it's me again.
I wanted to create an ability which swaps life and mana, which worked perfectly fine. Now I wanted to create a improved version which distributes the normally lost life or mana on allied units near the caster, but it won't work, because the "Pick every unit in range" command won't work...

Here is the Trigger

Trigger:

Conversion

Events

Unit - A unit Starts to cast an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Conversion

Actions

Set COCaster = (Casting unit)

Set COLife = (Life of COCaster)

Set COMana = (Mana of COCaster)

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

'IF'-Conditions

(COCaster has buff Improved Conversion ) Equal to True

'THEN'-Actions

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

'IF'-Conditions

(Max. Life of COCaster) Smaller then COMana

'THEN'-Actions

Set KORest = (COMana - (Max. Life of COCaster))

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 650.00 of (Position of COCaster)) and do (Set COGroup = (Last created unit group))

Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Number of units in COGroup)))

Unit Group - Pick every unit in COGroup and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

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

'IF'-Conditions

(Owner of (Picked unit)) Unequal to Neutral hostile

'THEN'-Actions

Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) + (CORest / (0.50 x (Real((Level of Improved Conversion for COCaster))))))

'ELSE'-Actions

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

'IF'-Conditions

(Max. Mana of COCaster) Smaller then COLife

'THEN'-Actions

Set KORest = (COLife - (Max. Mana of COCaster))

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 650.00 of (Position of COCaster)) and do (Set COGroup = (Last created unit group))

Unit Group - Pick every unit in COGroup and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

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

'IF'-Conditions

(Owner of (Picked unit)) Unequal to Neutral hostile

'THEN'-Actions

Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + (CORest x (0.50 x (Real((Level of Improved Conversion for COCaster))))))

'ELSE'-Actions

Unit - Set life of COCaster to COMana

Unit - Set mana of COCaster to COLife

"Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Number of units in COGroup)))" mostly gives out "0" and sometimes "1" even when 2 or more units are around the caster and in range.
I don't get it^^ do you know what to do or what's wrong with the trigger?

Idontneedaname	Are COCaster and KOCaster the same variable? If not, start there.

Idontneedaname	Trigger: Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 650.00 of (Position of COCaster)) and do (Set COGroup = (Last created unit group)) Unit Group - Pick every unit in COGroup and do (Actions) -> Trigger: Set COGroup = (Units within 650.00 of (Position of (COCaster))) Unit Group - Pick every unit in COGroup and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Give it a shot.

This method works perfect! Thank you :D

Bribe	What you didn't realise you did was you created a group for each "picked unit" in your original method and set it to COGroup, which is a fantastic example of how much GUI fails to explain what it's doing.
