is this the only way to do this?
now my map has about 25 levels, would be very unpleasant for the computer to create all this?

If you pre-place the units in the Terrain Editor, you can create unit groups by going Map -> Object Groups...

thanks but the problem is that this units groups must be placed in the map everytime when a player enters a level

problem: if a player kills 50% units in a level and entering the level again, there are suddenly 150% units

So how do I program that ONLY the units of the unit group are in the level when a player enters the level?

already found something, just added multiple unit group variables and make all trigger actions:

remove 1 unit from unit group 'level 1'
wait 0.1 seconds
remove 1 unit from unit group 'level 1'
wait 0.1 seconds
remove 1 unit from unit group 'level 1'
wait 0.1 seconds
remove 1 unit from unit group 'level 1'
wait 0.1 seconds

(about 50 times)

so I'm sure now all units of a unit group are deleted before create the unit group again in the level

Removing a unit from the Unit Group will not delete the unit. You need use the action Remove Unit. I think this action will also remove the unit from the unit group.

Hello,

The title of this thread is named about 'unit groups' so I continue here

actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 1' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 2' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 3' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 4' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 5' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 6' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 7' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 8' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 9' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'

1. is there a way I can put all hydralisks in the unit group at once?
2. 'add last created unit to unit group' is this only 1 unit? I mean would this work?

actions create 12 hydralisks at 'hydralisks' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit to 'hydralisks'

you will have to use variables, create one variable called hydralisk with the array marker checked that holds regions, it should be 1 dimension with an index of 9, then at map initialization, set "hydralisk 1" to hydralisk[0], "hydralisk 2" to hydralisk[1], then do something like this:

Trigger:
  • Spawn hydralisks
    • Events
      • Your events
    • Conditions
      • Your conditions
    • Local Variables
      • x <Integer> = 0
    • Actions
      • For each integer x from 1 to 9 do actions
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit - Create 1 hydralisk for player 8 (computer) at hydralisk[x]
          • Unit Group - add last created unit to hydralisks

Hello,

If I add 'ghost a' to unit group 'ghosts', does it remove the ghost then if it was in another unit group?

no a unit can be in as many unit groups as you want, but it can only be in each group once, btw, save yourself hours and learn to use variables, iv seen the coding for some of your maps and you could cut it down to 1 thousandth of the size...

no no what I just want to know is when the ghost is in unit group 'ghosts' and he enters the marine world, he must be switch over to the unit group 'marines'

so if I make a trigger that when a ghost enters the marine world, add the ghost to 'marines' does it is automatically removed from the unit group 'ghosts'?

That's exactly what GFreak talked about. I'm quoting "no a unit can be in many unit groups as you want".

How would it be able to be in many unit groups at once if it was automatically deleted when you add it to another group?

To answer your question, if you add it to a unit group, it wont get deleted from another unit group automatically.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
