I just wanted to say that I think I found a bug (prolly Blizzard's fault) that I really need fixed :)

"Unit - Unit Specific Event"

and prolly other event triggers...

The problem is you can't choose Unit variables in the selection of the unit :( and I need to choose a unit variable. I know that this was fixed for a lot of Action triggers (compared to the retail editor) but I think the events were skipped.

That's all. Thanks (to the creator) for taking the time to make this (much needed) program.

On "Unit - Unit Specific Event", you are not supesed to choose a unit from alist, but insted of it, you choose a unit on the map. This means you gotta pre-place that unit.

Why shouldn't you be able to choose a unit variable? I mean that's what it's for! I can't possibly have the unit preplaced on the map. So now I can't have a defeat condition on my map? I mean the field calls for a unit it should be able to take a unit variable. When the field calls for an integer you can select an integer variable. Only makes sense to me.

Q:Why shouldn't you be able to choose a unit variable?
A: Coz you are using a unit SPECIFIC unit event.

By specific I understand that you're mean to choose the unit. I agree with Blizzard. If you're trying to find a SPECIFIC grape from a basket, you can't just say "a grape". You gotta say "that little grape located at x,y,z coords", otherwise, it is not going to be specific.

If yo want to use a "generic" event, then do so..

I understand completely what you're saying. However my variable is a specific unit with x,y,z coordinates. When your hero is created he is saved to this variable. So this variable is a specific unit...he just wasn't around when the map started.

If you added him to an array he will not work either. Variable Arrays do not show up in events (for some strange strange reason)

I see your point. This is weird.

Well, try to make it custom text and then change the variable to the one you want.
