Simple Trigger Issue

Hello,

I just started triggering and can't find the issue in the following Action:

Player Group - Add player (Owner of (Triggering ability target unit)) to TempPlayer
Player Group - Pick each player in TempPlayer and do (Actions)
Actions
Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Units in PlayersUnitGroup owned by player (Picked player), with at most Any Amount) and do (Actions)
Actions
Unit - Set (Picked unit) Maximum Life to (((Picked unit) Maximum Life (Current)) + 50.0)
Player Group - Reset TempPlayer to have no players

The trigger and action runs, it just has no effect to the maximum life. What am I doing wrong?

As far as I remember, PlayersUnitGroup is the units put in unit groups.

I might be wrong, but you should just use units in entire map owned by picked player.

It might also be easier to give the units a behavior which increases max hp by 50. Then just add the behavior with the trigger :)

Thanks alot, this did indeed the trick. However I really don't understand why this works and the other doesn't. To my logic the trigger I used is more correct then the one I use now.
Code:
Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Units in (Any units in (Entire map) owned by player (Picked player) matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) owned by player (Picked player), with at most Any Amount) and do (Actions)

The Description of Unit Group - Pick each is: Runs the contained actions once for each unit in the unit group. Use the "Picked Unit" function to refer to the unit for which the actions are being run.
Now the Unitgroup I've used absolutely contained the Unit I wanted to alter...

What is "PlayersUnitGroup"? It's not defined by default so I'm assuming it's your own variable that you're defining somewhere else. In that case, show that code as well.

I'm not completely sure what you want, but if you're just looking to buff all units on the map owned by the Triggering ability target unit, there's an easier and more compact way to do it.

Trigger:
  • Buff stuff
    • Events
      • Unit - Any Unit uses *YOUR ABILITY* at Generic3 - Execute stage (Ignore shared abilities)
    • Local Variables
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Any units in (Entire map) owned by player (Owner of (Triggering ability target unit)) matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) and do (Actions)
        • Actions
          • Unit - Set (Picked unit) Maximum Life to (((Picked unit) Maximum Life (Current)) + 50.0)


In other words, you don't need to nest Units in Region / Units in Unit Group and if you're not doing something else as well, there's no need to save the player in a player group if it's only going to contain one player.

Even if you had to use a unit group, you could probably have it be a local variable, which means it will be reset everytime the trigger runs and you wont have to reset the player group manually at the end.

PlayersUnitGroup is a Unit Group Variable containing all Units of Human Players. Other triggers refer to it as well (which work), so I'm sure the triggering ability target Unit is actually in that Group. I see no reason why It didn't work that way.

Thank you for the compact way, it was also my first attempt, however I couldn't get access to the (Owner of..) Action when I attempted to use it, so I used the Tempgroup var.

You're welcome.

As for, why it didn't work, I can't really tell. It looks fine to me. In situations like these, the best way to debug it (imo) would be to just add debug message actions to print out things in each iteration of the loop. Try printing the picked player and the picked unit.

When you're printing unit names and such, it might be a good idea to use "Combine text" to print "Picked unit = " + (Picked Unit). Since otherwise if (Picked Unit) is undefined, it wont show up at all. I'm not sure if this makes sense to you or if I'm just rambling, but yeah.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
