Hey how do u make it so if some amount of units or 2of footman and 2 of grunts go in a specific spot(like regions) and then make them get replaced by one abomination or something like that.  |

Well... It depends on how many of these "exchanges" you're planning on doing? Have an event "Unit enter region X", where region x is your region. Then you check how many units of each type is in the region, and if there are enough for any given unit that you want to exchange (Using the action If/Then/Else) then remove the entering unit and the other units needed, and create an abdomination or whatever unit you need. |

umm i still don't get it, can you like give me an example or something? thx ^_^ |

... no, we shouldnt give you the exact triggers if thats what you want. for an example, when a unit enters a region you check if there are 2 footman and 2 grunts in the region if there are you remove then and create an abomination. otherwise you do nothing. if you can't understand that you shouldnt make this trigger until you do. |

 So am i supposed to put like If(footman = 2 or something like that) ?But, i cant find a condition in integer like that, or do i have to use some kind of variable....  |

why not post the actual trigger? here you go Code:
event
- a unit enters regionX
conditions
.- unit type of triggering unit = footman
| - or
.- unit type of triggering unit = Grunt
actions
- wait 0.1 seconds
- if number of units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of (matching unit) = footman; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true) => 2
AND
- if number of units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of (matching unit) = Grunt; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true) => 2
THAN
- replace Random unit of (units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of (matching unit) = footman; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true) with abomination
- remove random unit of (units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of (matching unit) = footman; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true)
- for each integer A 1 to 2 do actions:
- remove random unit (of units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of matching unit = Grunt; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true)it won't use you anything to copy this trigger into your map without understanding what it does... i will try to explain all that stuff: Code:
event - a unit enters regionX conditions .- unit type of triggering unit = footman | - or .- unit type of triggering unit = Grunt this is my way ... so you don't have to make a periodic event but only need to check if there are enough units when the number acutually changes... Code:
- if number of units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of (matching unit) = footman; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true) => 2 he counts the units checking some conditions. that all have to be true: to be counted the unit must be: in the region, a footman, owned by the same player as the unit that just entered the region and to be still alive. after counting he checks if the number of the units he counted is 2 or more than 2. if so ... he checks the next condition that also has to be true ... the same thing just that he counts the grunts... now if both condtions are true he goes on Code:
- replace Random unit of (units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of (matching unit) = footman; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true) with abomination Code:
- remove random unit of (units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of (matching unit) = footman or unit type of matching unit = Grunt; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true) Code:
- for each integer A 1 to 2 do actions:
- remove random unit (of units in units in regionX matching conditions unit type of matching unit = Grunt; owner of (matching unit) = owner of (triggering unit); (matching unit) is alive = true)the "for each integer A 1 to 2 do actions" makes the computer simply repeat the action twice. so he picks the other grunt and removes him as well. thats it. once again i tell you: don't use it if you don't understand it ... that's no way of learning something. also there are easier ways that use variables but i don't know if you can handle those. |

but i think in this case it's ok because you went really in depth in the explanation so that he could understand it. it would have been different if you just gave him the trigger like a lot of people do. |

Make sure you don't make a seperate trigger for every region to save space and reduce lag. |
