Advanced Trigger: New Semi-Event Added - A unit approaches a unit group

Hope this helps somebody.

http://www.daimi.au.dk/~rawl/WC3/map...oUnitGroup.w3x

The event (unit comes within range of specific unit) can be changed if you wish, but there should be no need, and it requires a bit of JASS editing.

EDIT: Oops, it wasn't a bug in the code, it was a bug in the test. The test should work in the ewly uploaded map.

I apologize, but for some reason I just can't figure out how to use this, and it would be extremely useful for my current project. JASS sort of gives me the willies. Could you perhaps post a slightly more detailed explanation of how to use it? Also, what sort of lag will this trigger cause? Thanks.

Follow the Test thingy and you'll be set.

Anyway.

Edit the Too Close To unit group with whatever actions you want to happen when a unit gets to close, the unit getting too close is in the "triggeringunit" variable.

To add <UNIT> to the unitgroup:

Set UnitToAddToUnitGroup = <UNIT>
Run AddUnitToUnitGroup


To remove <UNIT> from the unitgroup:

Set UnitToRemoveFromUnitGroup = <UNIT>
Run RemoveUnitToUnitGroup


NOTE: The units aren't actually added to any actual unitgroup, it is just a figure of speech. If you want the units in a unit group you will have to do so yourself (as in the test).

You don't have to know even a tiny bit JASS to use the triggers. :)

Did that help?

If not I can explain it further or maybe add another example. :)
