Ack! Too many targets!

[gameshow]

Ok, i've got an ability which when cast, automatically searches all the units X distance from the caster to find any heroes, and then launches a hero-seeking attack.

Problem: It will always find ALL the heroes. I'd like it to stop once it finds one. do i need to turn the trigger off, or something?

... May we se the triggers? ...

It is quit impossible to say if you should turn off a trigger or not without seing it.

Sure turn off the trigger and se what happens.

If you just want this for one unit, put those "unit in range ..." in a variable of type unit-group,
then just attack "random unit of unit-group".

Or, try to add a "skip remaining actions".

I think i got it, what i did was created a variable which prevented the loop from continuing once it found a target. Here's the new code below:

Death On Wheels
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Flame Bastard - Death on Wheels 
    Actions
        Set death_on_wheels_targets = 0
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 1200.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit))) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        death_on_wheels_targets Equal to 0
                        ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) is A Hero) Equal to True
                        ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Triggering player)) Equal to True
                        ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                        Set death_on_wheels_targets = 1
                        Unit - Create 1 Remote Control Bomb for (Triggering player) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
                        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Kaboom! (Picked unit)
                    Else - Actions
