Nazra7	i need help making a stat gain aura for my pet system. like strength and intelegence. im having a problem because i want to make it to when you use the item called bow meow it will summon a bow meow and when the bow meow is within 500 range of the unit which summoned it it gives + stats. it will not let me pick a unit variable so i have no idea how i can do this. please help me.

(Unit variable, name = Pet, array size number of players u have)

Trigger:

Event - A unit uses an item

Conditions item equal to Bow Meow

Actions - wait .01 seconds

- pick every unit in units of type "Pet Meow" matching condition matching unit belongs to owner of hero manipulating item (Its a bool condition)

- set Pet[Player Number Of Owner Of Hero Manipulating item] = picked unit

(Point var, named Point, array size 1)
(Unit var, name PlayerHero, array size number of players you have)

Trigger:

Event - Map initilization

Conditions

Actions - set PlayersHero[1] = Player 1 reds hero

- set PlayerHero[2] = Player 2 blues hero (Do that for all players)

if they are bought

Trigger:

Event - A unit is sold

Conditions

Actions - Set PlayerHero[Player Number Of Owner Of Sold Unit] = Sold Unit

Trigger:

Event - Every 1 second

Conditions

Actions - For each integer A from 1 to 12

- set Point[0] = position of PlayerHero[Integer A]

set Point[1] = Position of Pet[Integer A]

if then else multiple functions

if conditions distance between Point[0] and Point[1] less than or equal to 550

- then actions - hero modify strength of PlayerHero[Integer A] add 1

- call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[0])

- call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[1])

MAKE SURE the above is in the loop, of the integer A

tell me if it works

Fireeye	Sorry Fr0zenLord, but your solution have a big problem. Take a look in the 4th Trigger, you didn't make a condition when it's already in range, so it will give a endless bonus. Add a normal Boolean variable with array and set it true when the unit is in range if not set it false. Then it should work without the problem.

frozenlord i came across a problem. where it says point[0] and [1] i had to replace with the variables PP(petpoint) and HP(Heropoint) which both have a index of 8. this is because there are 8 players in the map. and each player can have a pet and i only want the players pet to only effect them and no other players. so where it would say set variable HP[?] the ? is the problem. how am i supposed to make it know what index it should be? i cant use owner of variable "pet" becuase that also has an index of 8 which is needed.

Fireeye, look a bit closer

Trigger:

if conditions distance between Point[0] and Point[1] less than or equal to 550

if what you meant is, it gaining endless stats if its within range, that is what I intended it to do... Nazra7 can configure it to how he wants

And, you only need Hp[0], and PetPoint[0], you dont need 8 for each, trigger 4 works, for all players

Trigger:

Event - Every 1 seconds

Conditions

Actions - For each integer A from 1 to 8

set HP = position of PlayerHero[Integer A]

set PP = Position of Pet[integer A]

if then else multiple functions

if conditions Distance Between HP and PP less then or equal to 550

- Owner of Pet[Integer A] equal to Owner Of PlayerHero[Integer A]

then actions - modify hero strength of PlayerHero[Integer A] Add 1

call RemoveLocation(udg_HP)

call RemoveLocation(udg_PP)

You dont need an array for each player

It will set HP = position of PlayerHero[1], and PP = position of Pet[1]

It checks distance, if less then or equal to 550, it adds a str point

Then it does it again, for PlayerHero[2], and Pet[2], then 3, then 4, you dont need multiple's

ok i see but heres another problem i dont get... where it says set variable hp = position of unit how am i suposed to make it know what unit speficly i want it to set to? in my map when you start your hero isnt there it does not exsist until you pick it. same with the pet. if interger A has somthing to do with this please tell me because i dont understand it. also how do i set it like that.... position of heroplayer[intergera]?

EDIT OH OK sorry i didnt read the post throughlly. the thing about how i am supposed to make it know what hero unit in spefic ... ok i know what to do thanks frozenlord.
