ok I am doing a basic revive command.
i have right now nothing really

Events
Every 2.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Action
If, Then, Else (multiple functions)

well i mean thats as far as I have. I want it so that every 2 seconds it will revive a certain unit if it dies else do nothing. This is a very basic command. However the units I want to revive are NOT heros (hence not able to revive).

So can someone give me a command like this that will revive or do something with those units?

Thanks.

P.S. WHen I tried changing all the units into heros (made a new custom unit as a hero) everything was messed up. All my triggers condition statements got changed to that new hero but in my maze I have two different types of heros. Let's say in one trigger I had Hero A as a condition (i.e. Unit type of (triggering unit) =/= to Hero A). It changed all the Hero A's to Hero B's (the new hero).

And I had at least 100 + triggers with conditions on hero A so i don't want to redo it all.

Thanks again!

P.S.S
This is what I have so far... in my other revive

[MaaxeEvid]

not heros cant revive...just a tip, you need to replace something like this, i dont use GUI more

 

[Ghan]

You would have to replace the unit with another since it's not a hero.

 

[Gyros321]

I am sorry but I don't get what you're saying. Are you saying just to make them new heros? If thats the case then I will do it I am just lazy >.>

EDIT: oops didn't see last post.

ok problem 2.

In my maze I have a party where the guys wander. But I want it to be a periodic event. They just randomly do it and they do it VERY SLOW (i gave them the ability wander (neutral)). Like they do it all discordantly and they do it maybe every 5 seconds. I want them to do it all at the same time and actually do it every 2 or so seconds. Thanks for help!

 

[Ghan]

This should work:

Wander
    Events
        Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set TempUnitGroup = (Units in <Your Region>)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set TempPoint = ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by 300.00 towards (Random real number between 1.00 and 360.00) degrees)
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To TempPoint
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_TempUnitGroup)

Events
Time - Every 2 seconds of the game
Conditions
Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in Units In *Your Region* and do actions
     Actions
       Unit - Order (Picked unit) to move to random point in *Your Region*

I'm not sure if you can just edit the Wander Ability to be every 2 seconds. Might try that before resorting to triggers.

There's nothing like that under Wander, unfortunately.

Ah, Blizzard really didn't try to make World Editor newbie friendly did they?

Wow. Thanks. I never knew you had to do that if you were just setting the whole thing in a variable.

 

[Gyros321]

Wow thanks for that information. Okay next question!

In my maze I have two units. Let's say Unit A and B. Unit A works fine. Unit B is an EXACT copy of Unit A except it has the spell "permanent invisibility".

Now when I get to this one part I am creating units (sorry I can't open up world edit atm since I gotta go right after this post) and then ordering them to patrol somewhere. I make 7 units of type Unit A and they patrol fine.

But when I make 7 units of type Unit B they don't appear AT ALL. I know they are invis. Duh. But when i go to the place where they should be (with truesight and far sight, and owl scout on) they arn't there (not even in invisible). And even if they are somehow they are not killing my characters. But units of Type Unit A still do. Unit B is an exact replica except it has permanent invisibility. So why are they not being created? Thanks!.

 

[Ghan]

1. Try taking the permanent invisibility off them.
2. Make sure they didn't move somewhere else.

 

[Gyros321]

Ok 1. Just did. They appear and are there.
2. They are not moving anywhere else.

Can someone help me with this? Its really irritating. i can't figure out why they just are not appearing and why they won't kill when invisible.


Now a new problem has arised. Whenever i tell someone to patrol.. this happens (look at diagram)

A = left end point
B = right end point
. = normal path to patrol
, = path they take
@ = just ignore this. I don't know how to space something out to put it in the middle of the screen. Every time I try it just ends up appearing left. So this is used to space.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@,,,,,,,,,,,,@@@@@@@@@@@,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,@@@@@@@@
A...................................................................................................B

Like my patroler willl start at A and move upwards along the comma trail instead of going on the period trail. its very irritating and I don't feel like putting a little region every like five steps and ordering it to go from that to the next one that is five steps ahead etc. etc. Its just irritating.

So can someone help me with these 2 new problems? thanks!

 

[Arkan]

About patrolling,
are you ordering units owned by neutrals? In that case you might wanna change some values in gameplay constants, like Creep Guard Return distance and some other fields I can't remember.

 

[Gyros321]

No no. They are custom units (undead obs. statues) owned by player 12 (computer player).

But see this is always happening in any maze i play. If I click from point A to point B and there is a wide gap in between them, my guy won't run in a straight line. He'll go in a somewhat arc motion way towards the point. usually this ends up killing me because he goes off path..... does anyone know how to fix it?

Andrewgosu explained this in his TD tutorial here:

[Gyros321]

Ok thanks. It was a bit confusing but I think I got it. But does anyone get the invisible unit part?
