ok i want to add a trigger that when a certain spell is cast, all players besides the ones who have a unit in the radius will get a message and a ping that they "heard a loud explosion" A separate trigger is spelltarget Events Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability Actions Set spelltarget = (Position of (Casting unit)) (there are 3 separate actions in this) Ping and display Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability Actions first main action - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 2512.00 of spelltarget) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Player Group - Add (Owner of (Picked unit)) to spellradius second main action - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Player Group - Add (Owner of (Picked unit)) to spellgroup third main action - Player Group - Pick every player in spellradius and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Player Group - Remove (Picked player) from spellgroup Game - Display to spellgroup for 1.00 seconds the text: Loud Explosion heard! Cinematic - Ping minimap for spellgroup at spelltarget for 1.00 seconds, using a Simple ping of color (20.00%, 20.00%, 100.00%) The thing is, it will ping and display the message more than once for every spell, it will ping and display the message the same number as the number of players in the spellgroup if there were 5 players added and that needed to get the ping and message, all 5 would get it 5 times if there were 7 then all 7 players would get pinged and the message 7 times each how do i fix it so it will only ping and message once to each player in the playergroup? |

im not sure how to do the code/code tag thing so i just edited my 1st post, should be easier to understand Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Player Group - Add (Owner of (Picked unit)) to spellgroup how would i check to see if a player is in the group already if adding duplicates or the same player in the player group is the problem? |

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 2512.00 of spelllocation) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Owner of (Picked unit)) is in spellarea) Equal to False
Then - Actions
Player Group - Add (Owner of (Picked unit)) to spellarea
Else - Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Owner of (Picked unit)) is in spellgroup) Equal to False
Then - Actions

Cinematic - Ping minimap for spellgroup at spelllocation for 1.00 seconds, using a Simple ping of color (20.00%, 20.00%, 100.00%)when i tried it by myself with computers it seems to work fine, but when i played it on bnet when a spell was cast, it showed the message and pinged twice instead of just once any idea why it does this? |
