Unit selling units problem.

I have some units that sell units so that the player can select his hero. Those same units also sell an item so that the player can load his hero. If the player buys that item I remove their circle of power from the game to keep them from choosing a hero and getting multiple heroes. Then if something goes wrong during the loading process I recreate a circle of power around the selling unit to allow the player to try again.

The problem is that the new circle of power cannot buy any units. The units don't show up in the menu. However, the item still shows up for sale. What causes this and can I fix it? If so how?

Thank you.

Edit for the code:

The hero selection trigger. Note that this trigger would not have fired during the process which I am discussing because the player has bought the load item.

Trigger:

Manual Pick

Events

Unit - A unit Sells a unit

Conditions

((Sold unit) is A Hero) Equal to True

Actions

Game - Display to (Owner of (Buying unit)), at offset (0.00, 0.00) for 3.00 seconds the text: Now choose a race.

Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Player - Make (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Unavailable for training/construction by (Picked player)

Unit - Remove (Buying unit) from the game

Selection - Select (Sold unit) for (Owner of (Sold unit))

Unit - Move (Sold unit) instantly to (Random point in Race Selection <gen>)

Set Save_HeroPlayer[(Player number of (Owner of (Sold unit)))] = (Sold unit)

Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Sold unit)) to (Position of (Sold unit)) over 0.00 seconds

The part in my load trigger that removes the circle of power to keep them from buying a unit after buying the load item.

Trigger:

Events

Unit - A unit Acquires an item

Conditions

(Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Load

Actions

Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

The part that checks to see if the player loads an incompatible hero, removes that hero and then places a new circle of power so that said player can try again.

Trigger:

Load Only alignment good

Events

Unit - A unit enters InnLoad <gen>

Conditions

And - All (Conditions) are true

Conditions

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

((Triggering unit) is owned by Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True

((Triggering unit) is owned by Player 2 (Blue)) Equal to True

((Triggering unit) is owned by Player 3 (Teal)) Equal to True

((Triggering unit) is owned by Player 4 (Purple)) Equal to True

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Drow Assassin

etc

Actions

Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

Game - Display to (Owner of (Triggering unit)), at offset (0.00, 0.00) the text: You cannot load a c...

Unit - Create 1 Circle of Power for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Random point in RecreateHeroSelectLoad <gen>) facing (Position of Good Alignment Classes 0024 <gen>)

Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Last created unit)) to (Position of (Last created unit)) over 0.00 seconds

I also tried recreating the circle of power at the position of the unit doing the selling, in this case Good Alignment Classes. That also had the same problem.

Rising_Dusk	I'm trying to think of a logical reason why the circle of power wouldn't be able to buy units. Hrm... This really doesn't seem like a trigger flaw though, more a fluke in the way circle of powers or whatever work. (Or something) Have you tried hiding and unhiding the circle of power after recreating it? Sometimes that helps.

Dp1983	Edit: Tried to hide and unhide the removed circle of power. Didn't work. Also tried to Hide the circle of power instead of removing it and then unhiding it later. That resulted in the same problem as removing and adding. Also tried hiding and unhiding everything around the unit and hiding and unhiding the unit itself. All resulted in the same problem.
