rects vs regions

Ok ... I really wanted to avoid posting this to refrain from looking like an idiot, but i'm confused.

I've searched these forums, and looked through the WE help... WTF is a region. I see that it is diferent then a rect. I understand rects and there uses, but not regions. I'm guessing regions are a type of rect? I want to use one of the trigs thats for the region, but not for the rect.


Example of what i want to do.

A creep picks up an item and is traveling from Point A to Point B. If he gets killed during his travel, I want any remaining creeps in his group to pick up the Item and travel to Point B.

So I figured what would probably work best would be when he dies create a rect around his position, drop the item, and order all units in his group to retrieve the item and travel to point B...

But i cant put a condition on a rect, only a region.. And i dont understand regions...

Help

Well u click on Layer > regions
u can create a region to any size example of a region

U place a region at point a

EVENT:
Unit enters region <region name>

CONDTIONS:
Unit is a hero equal to true

Actions:
Hero - set xp 400000000% :D


did that make sense

tbh i never use rectangles, there gay.

Welll... in the normal tft editor I don't think it mentions rects anywhere. I know in UMSWE that they renamed the regions rects and then left some region stuff in there. So I guess they're the same thing. I wonder why they were renamed.

There's a help file that comes with UMSWE about this, but the short explanation is thus: In normal WE, you have rectangular areas on the map known as Regions. In UMSWE, they are called Rects, and you can add many Rects together with triggers to form a Region that's more than just a rectangle in shape.

The differance between rects and regions is simply rects are alwys rectangular, and regions can be any shape.

You use them both the exact same way.

Most of the GUI triggers in WE that mention "Regions" actually are talking about Rects... convert them to custom text and you'll see ;)
