Change Color

[junicobakura]

how do you change a color of a unit that has a certain buff that will change back when the buff expires

 

[DioD]

ever 1 second of the game check every unit on map for specific buff, if buff present - change color, if not - change color back.

if you able to predict buff placement, keep group of units and remove units from group when buff expire.

Err, it's not my question but, how do I do that? I cannot find check every unit on map for buff action, don't know what action it is... So how?

--EDIT--
OMG THIS IS HIJACKING?? OMG, SORRY FOR THAT!!!!

Please read the rules, don't hijack other's threads. You can either wait for the answer, start a new thread or search for it in the forums..

Anyway if I'm not wrong is if the buff is given by something like a spell, you can add the target unit of ability into a unit group and when the buff is gone remove it from the unit group.

is this right?

and can you check for leaks if this right

 

[Ryushi]

That should be correct and leakless. But there's no need to remove the units from the Unit Group as you pick them.

 

[skyblader]

No no, you can do it something like that:

• Colour change 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ColourChangeGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff Gear 2nd) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from ColourChangeGroup
          • Else - Actions

• Colour change 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your ability
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to ColourChangeGroup
    • Animation - Change (Target unit of ability being cast)'s vertex coloring to (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency

This is if the spell that gives the buff is kinda like target, and not aura. If it's an aura, then do this

• Color Change
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set ChangeColorGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ChangeColorGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff Gear 2nd ) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
          • Else - Actions
            • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s vertex coloring to (75.00%, 20.00%, 75.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_ChangeColorGroup)

Junicobakura's trigger will work even if the ability targets a unit. The unit will get the buff, then the periodic trigger will detect the buff and change the unit's coloring.

 

[skyblader]

I'm not saying it'll work, I just think the one I posted is a better way to do it, rather than setting and clearing a unit group every half a second, just adding and removing units is better right?

 

[DioD]

code from post 5 is 100% ok, but you dont need to remove units from group, since you will destroy this group anyway.
