is this the only way to do this?
now my map has about 25 levels, would be very unpleasant for the computer to create all this?

If you pre-place the units in the Terrain Editor, you can create unit groups by going Map -> Object Groups...

thanks but the problem is that this units groups must be placed in the map everytime when a player enters a level

problem: if a player kills 50% units in a level and entering the level again, there are suddenly 150% units

So how do I program that ONLY the units of the unit group are in the level when a player enters the level?

already found something, just added multiple unit group variables and make all trigger actions:

remove 1 unit from unit group 'level 1'
wait 0.1 seconds
remove 1 unit from unit group 'level 1'
wait 0.1 seconds
remove 1 unit from unit group 'level 1'
wait 0.1 seconds
remove 1 unit from unit group 'level 1'
wait 0.1 seconds

(about 50 times)

so I'm sure now all units of a unit group are deleted before create the unit group again in the level

Removing a unit from the Unit Group will not delete the unit. You need use the action Remove Unit. I think this action will also remove the unit from the unit group.

Hello,

The title of this thread is named about 'unit groups' so I continue here

actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 1' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 2' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 3' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 4' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 5' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 6' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 7' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 8' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'
actions create 1 hydralisk in region 'hydralisk 9' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit group to 'hydralisks'

1. is there a way I can put all hydralisks in the unit group at once?
2. 'add last created unit to unit group' is this only 1 unit? I mean would this work?

actions create 12 hydralisks at 'hydralisks' for player 8 (computer)...
actions add last created unit to 'hydralisks'

you will have to use variables, create one variable called hydralisk with the array marker checked that holds regions, it should be 1 dimension with an index of 9, then at map initialization, set "hydralisk 1" to hydralisk[0], "hydralisk 2" to hydralisk[1], then do something like this:

Trigger:
  • Spawn hydralisks
    • Events
      • Your events
    • Conditions
      • Your conditions
    • Local Variables
      • x <Integer> = 0
    • Actions
      • For each integer x from 1 to 9 do actions
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit - Create 1 hydralisk for player 8 (computer) at hydralisk[x]
          • Unit Group - add last created unit to hydralisks

Hello,

If I add 'ghost a' to unit group 'ghosts', does it remove the ghost then if it was in another unit group?

no a unit can be in as many unit groups as you want, but it can only be in each group once, btw, save yourself hours and learn to use variables, iv seen the coding for some of your maps and you could cut it down to 1 thousandth of the size...

no no what I just want to know is when the ghost is in unit group 'ghosts' and he enters the marine world, he must be switch over to the unit group 'marines'

so if I make a trigger that when a ghost enters the marine world, add the ghost to 'marines' does it is automatically removed from the unit group 'ghosts'?

That's exactly what GFreak talked about. I'm quoting "no a unit can be in many unit groups as you want".

How would it be able to be in many unit groups at once if it was automatically deleted when you add it to another group?

To answer your question, if you add it to a unit group, it wont get deleted from another unit group automatically.

    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.

    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.
