How to make a trigger detect a not spawned unit?

[GfameVideos]

Well this is what im trying to use:

• Force Recon Stats
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Item Armor Bonus (+1) to (Triggering unit)

Then how am i supposed to add that armor bonus to a unit that aint spawned yet, which is Force Recon.???
?? BTW u choose it with a tavern.

And i do it this way cause it aint no hero, if u got a better way please say!

Just add to the generic event "A Unit is trained"

"A Unit is Trained" only works if the unit is trained from a barracks, chimera roost, etc.

You can use this trigger if the units aren't trained from a building:

• SampleTrigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Custom value of (Entering unit)) Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Item Armor Bonus (+1) to (Entering unit)
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Entering unit) to 1
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

Custom values is if, for example, the unit is for some reason removed from and then put back into the map.

EDIT: Also, if you want it only for a specific unit type, simply change it to this:

• SampleTrigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) Equal to Your_Unit
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Custom value of (Entering unit)) Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Item Armor Bonus (+1) to (Entering unit)
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Entering unit) to 1
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

How do u get, Custom Value of entering unit? Can't seem to find it, thanks!

 

[Shura]

It's an integer comparison.

 

[Happy]

its an integer comparision

I find custom values bad, and shouldn`t be used, because they may conflict with other triggers.

Structs are a good alternative if you know vJASS.

 

[canons200]

there are many way to detect spawn or not spawn unit, use condition boolean, food cap , upon creating of unit and etc.

but those method have to suit to your trigger.

maybe you can add the item armor + 1 upon creating of unit.

Thx guys,

And tooltip, what you mean? inflict with other triggers?
Im making a shooter map were u choose arena/mode and play!

So that won't be a problem i think!

 

[tooltiperror]

Well, if you make another trigger that uses custom values, they might bug each other.

 

[GfameVideos]

ill remember that on a note, for the next time ill use custom thanks!

 

[GfameVideos]

What does the custom value do,:

Set custom value of (unit) to 1?

Does that always need to be 1? even if i want armor higher?

 

[Vaius]

It can be set to whatever you want, I just used 1 because it was the most convenient at the time.
