How can I detect a unit being transported

The trigger won't add mana if the unit is loaded into the building that can hold it. It does work since it removes mana. So I believe the Condition is at fault here.
Trigger:
  • Set Villager_Choose = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Villager (Male)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Villager_Choose and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is being transported) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) + 4.00)
            • Player - Add 2 to (Player((Integer A))) Current lumber
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) - 0.50)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Villager_Choose)

Disregard the addition of lumber.

i think that transported means 'unit in Goblin Zeppelin', not in a building ?_?
It's the goblin Zeppelin cargo and load ability applied to a building. Technically the unit is being "carried" by the building.

let me ask, the unit in the building. what is happening, why are your trying to trigger this? there may be a work around.

also, I think orc burrow would probably be better than zeppelin if your just trying to house units

I want so that while the unit is inside the tent for it to regain mana instead of lose mana every few seconds. But I can't find a way to detect if the unit is inside the tent.

thats easy. use [pause/unpause unit] on load and unload. you wouldn't need to detect then mostly.

After going back through it here is what I found
--------------------------------------------------------------
load
Events
Unit - A unit Is loaded into a transport
Conditions
Load (Goblin Zeppelin) Equal to (Ability being cast)
Actions
Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
----------------------------------------------------------------
unload
Events
Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
Conditions
(Issued order) Equal to (Order((Name of Unload (Air Transports))))
Actions
Unit - Unpause (Leaving unit)
-------------------------------------------------------------
now i sped through it really fast so i am 99.9% sure i missed stuff that could make it better.

But what does that have to do with detecting a unit that is currently inside a transport?

Why would you need a unit group? Why don't you just use a condition for unit-type?

Trigger:
  • Transport
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Is loaded into a transport
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Loading unit)) Equal to Mountain King
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Set mana of (Loading unit) to ((Mana of (Loading unit)) + 4.00)
        • Else - Actions
          • Unit - Set mana of (Loading unit) to ((Mana of (Loading unit)) - 0.50)

The trigger will only work WHEN the unit is loaded, I want it to work as long as the unit is inside the transport.

Ok. Well I think I have it. You can switch the triggers to fit your map style. I just used "Life" because footman obviously don't have mana.

But I tested this, and every 1 second of the game, the footman does lose HP every 1 second, unless he is in the zeppelin, then he gains +4 hp every 1 second while in the zeppelin.

Trigger:
  • Loaded
    • Events
      • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set UnitGroup = (Units in (Entire map) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Footman))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 1.00))
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)
      • Set UnitGroup = (Units owned by (Player((Player number of (Picked player)))) matching (((Matching unit) is being transported) Equal to True))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + 4.00))
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)

Try this out. If it's not what you want, I'll see what else I can do.
