Trigger issue

Why isn't this working? I've checked, it adds the hero to the group (or rather, printing the number of units in 'tempgroup' shows '1' when tested with 1 hero), so all conditions seem to be met, but the xp gain isn't implemented, any thoughts?

Here it is;
Trigger:
  • XP Awarded
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • ((Owner of (Killing unit)) is in Defenders) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from 0 to CreepTypeNumber, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to CreepArray[(Integer A)]
            • Then - Actions
              • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
              • Set Tempgroup = (Units within 800.00 of TempPoint matching ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True)))
              • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Tempgroup and do (Actions)
                • Loop - Actions
                  • Hero - Add ((CreepValueArray[(Integer A)] / ((Number of units in Tempgroup) / 5)) + 2) experience to (Picked unit), Hide level-up graphics
              • Unit Group - Remove all units of Tempgroup from Tempgroup
              • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Tempgroup)
            • Else - Actions

all the array variable parts are right, but it's the
Trigger:
  • Hero - Add ((CreepValueArray[(Integer A)] / ((Number of units in Tempgroup) / 5)) + 2) experience to (Picked unit), Hide level-up graphics

Thanks in advance :)
Thanks in advance :)
 
have you tried just changing it to
Trigger:
  • Hero - Add (CreepValueArray[(Integer A)] ) experience to (Picked unit), Hide level-up graphics

to see if that works, just to make sure the array and surrounding trigger is sound.
then set a "real" variable to
"(CreepValueArray[(Integer A)] / ((Number of units in Tempgroup) / 5)) + 2"
and have the game play a text message showing that outcome to make sure it is not 0. Once you see which test fails you will have a better idea where to look.
 
I tested it using 'kill picked unit'. Didn't work :(

Thanks for the suggestion though. Any more?
 
add text messages,
first above the array add one that says fire,
then in the array one that says array + convery interger a to string
inside the if then else add unit name of dieing unit.
inside unitgroup unit name of picked unit.

THat will tell you right where it is going wrong.
 
What if you try to remove this line:
Trigger:
  • Unit Group - Remove all units of Tempgroup from Tempgroup
 
It works, for some reason removing the 'add hero xp' line makes it function if I tell it to kill the unit instead... Don't know where to go from here ._.

EDIT: I DO know, but why would that line not work? It's standard GUI.
 
Try making it whole number value perhaps? I'm not sure whether exp can be distributed in real values.
 
XP Doesn't come in real values. Use something else instead. XP is like this in-game:

Arthas:
XP: 4005

NOT:

Arthas:
XP:4003.23

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
