Turning units into waygates?

10-22-2005, 08:34 AM

Im trying to create a chat command (for an RP map) that gives a unit (a building) the functionality of a waygate.

I tried this first:

Trigger 1:

Code:

Events:
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 'waygate as An exact match
Conditions:
NONE
Actions: 
Set tempGroup = (Units currently selected by (Triggering player))
Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempGroup and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Not equal to Spawner
                (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Triggering player)
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Add waygate set  to (Picked unit)
                Unit - Add Waygate ability to (Picked unit)
            Else - Actions
Custom script:   call DestroyGroup( udg_tempGroup )

(im eventually gonna convert it to JASS and use locals... but for testing im being lazy.) the waygate set ability is a custom ability based off sentry ward (massive range, no mana cost, ext)

Trigger 2:

Code:

Events:
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
    (Ability being cast) Equal to waygate set 
Actions
    Neutral Building - Set (Casting unit) destination to (Target point of ability being cast)

Now, why the heck wont this work? i see nothing wrong with it. (unless its something stupid, like only the "Waygate" unti can use the waygate ability.... knowing blizzard, this is a possibility :-/)

Panto	Add debug statements to your triggers to see if all the unit variables are what you think they should be, if the ward ability trigger is firing, where the ward is place (map ping is handy), etc.
