How to check if a building is "complete"?

[Immolation]

How can I check if a building is constructed or it's still being constructed?
Thanks, I really need this condition.

Not possible.

However, assuming you don't need its custom value:
Event:
- A unit finishes construction
Conditions:
Actions:
- Unit - Set (Triggering unit)'s custom value to 1

And you can test for that custom value being 1.

I love you o.o

Thanks alot, + rep

Just a note, I'm pretty sure in this case Triggering Unit would refer to the builder, youd need to use ConstructedStructure.

That is AceHart..... you know.... the one above all? If there is anything that you think is inpossible he will offer the answer Anyway.... I feel stupid after posting this

EDIT: averes... the triggering unit is the one who's construction is finished. Unless the worker is being construcked by the building evrything will be fine.

Exactly... the triggering unit is the units whos construction just finished. IE the builder.

Also, if you do end up needing your structures to have a custom value for something else you can replicate this using a unitgroup. Just add all completed structures to it and check if the building is in the unitgroup.

You're confusing me, using the "Unit finishes costruction":

(Triggering Unit) is the builder and
(Constructed Structure) the structure?

Yes

DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM FOR GOD"S SAKE. THE TRIGGERING UNIT IS THE BUILDING! Now Averes, STFU. I the expirience I have over you is as big as the universe. The expirience that Ace has over you is bigger then infinity.

He's right averes. The triggering unit is the units whos construction just finished

I am famous for beeing both as cool as ice and a hot as a flame, so I guess this guy maniged to fire me up. Oh, well. Atleast the question is answered.

 

[averes]

Yeah just tested it. Apparently they both return the constructed structure... Does that mean there isn't a way to return the builder?

 

[Immolation]

Well then, both this:

• Finish Building
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to 1
    • Set MilitaryUBarracks_Unitgroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks) and ((Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1)))
    • Player - Limit training of Footman to (12 x (Number of units in MilitaryUBarracks_Unitgroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

And this:

• Set Limit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks
  • Actions
    • Set MilitaryUBarracks_Unitgroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks) and ((Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1)))
    • Player - Limit training of Footman to (12 x (Number of units in MilitaryUBarracks_Unitgroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

Aren't working.

Event: Unit finished construction.

Then the triggering unit is the worker.

Immolation, you want to limit the footmen to 12 per baraks?

 

[Immolation]

Yepsie.

 

[averes]

Event: Unit finished construction.

Then the triggering unit is the worker.

Immolation, you want to limit the footmen to 12 per baraks?

Lmao didn't know there were two events for this. All that hate over 1 letter

EDIT: The event you said doesn't exist, atleast I've been unable to find it. Which still leaves the question how one returns the unit that constructed the structure.

 

[Bloodcount]

no hate here. Just passion.


Immolation.... I can think up of a coupple of ways to do it.
When a unit finishes training a unit of type footman, check if the player owns more then 12 footnen X number of baracks. If it is more then the number, remove triggering unit from the game, else do nothing,

 

[Immolation]

I want the button to blackout, like using the trigger(limit construction etc... etc... etc...). Any thoughts on why it doesn't work?

 

[Bloodcount]

Perhaps:

Fnish Building

* Events
o Unit - A unit Finishes construction
* Conditions
* Actions
if triggering unit is of type Baraks
then
o Set MilitaryUBarracks_Unitgroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks) and ((Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1)))
o Player - Limit training of Footman to (12 x (Number of units in MilitaryUBarracks_Unitgroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
else do nothing

Yep. Getting the worker is an ages old, and as of now still unsolved, problem.
There is no sure way to get him.

"Triggering unit", in general, is the unit the trigger is about.
In the case of "finishes construction", it's the unit that just now finished its very own construction, i.e. the building.
