Hi, and thanks for taking a look at the thread. So heres the problem. Im making a Risk-based game. What happens in the game is you kill all the units in a region and whichever kills the last unit of a region is moved instantly to the center of the region. I have no trouble doing that. Instead of moving the killing unit instantly into the middle of the region, I want the trigger to check an area around the region, and if there are units in the surrounding area, a unit from the area is randomly picked and sent to the middle of the circle. If there isnt a unit in the surrounding area, I want it to move the killing unit into the region. Here's one of the many failing codes triggers I've tried so far: Trigger:  Moving Killing Unit 1
  Events
   Unit - A unit Dies
 Conditions
  (Region[1] contains (Dying unit)) Equal to True
(Number of units in (Units in Region[1] matching (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))) Less than or equal to 1
((Killing unit) is A structure) Equal to False
  Actions
 If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Number of units in (Units within 512.00 of (Center of Region[1]) matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) is A structure) Equal to False)))) Greater than or equal to 1
Then - Actions
Unit - Move (Random unit from (Units within 512.00 of (Center of Region[1]) matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False))) instantly to (Center of Region[1])
Else - Actions
If ((((Killing unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((All units of (Units in Region[1] matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False)) are dead) Equal to True)) then do (Unit - Move (Killing unit) instantly to (Center of Region[1])) else do (Do nothing)A problem I've noticed is that the trigger will occasionally work, but after there are a few decaying units inside it stops working altogether. Note-I dont want any buildings to be moved into the region. |

The most obvious mistake you did is that you don't exclude dead units in your group. It should look like this: Trigger: Actions
 Set g = (Units within 512.00 of (Center of Region[1]) matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True)))
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
IF - Conditions
(Number of units in g) Greater than 0
THEN - Actions
Unit - Move (Random unit from g) instantly to (Center of Region[1])
ELSE - Actions
Unit - Move (Killing unit) instantly to (Center of Region[1])PS: I'm sorry if I translated something wrong. |

1. It'll make it much quicker and easier. 2. Kind of, why take the long way when you can take the short and easy way?  |
