Auto-cast train units.

[bluedevil333]

Hello. I am looking for instructions on how to auto-train units. like when you right click on a unit (an scv for example) and when one is done building it builds more.
i would rather not use a trigger, or make a new unit, because i made a new unit and have modified it already, and am just looking on how to add the ability to be able to auto train units.

thanks

As far as I know you will have to use a trigger, but it's a rather simple trigger though:

• Autotrain
  • Events
    • Unit - Any Unit training progress is Completed
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
      • If
        • (Unit type of (Triggering progress unit)) == Marine
      • Then
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to (Barracks - Train Marine) (After Existing Orders)
      • Else
    • General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
      • If
        • (Unit type of (Triggering progress unit)) == Marauder
      • Then
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to (Barracks - Train Marauder) (After Existing Orders)
      • Else

This trigger will initiate when a unit is trained, and then it will order the training facility to train it again.

A data solution would be to give the building a behavior with a periodic effect of the "Issue Order" type. Make it issue the "Build *Your Unit*" order to the caster.

Question: Do you want the building to always auto-build the unit or just after you right click the button?

Only when you right click the button, sorry for the long delay between me posting.

Create a new ability of the type Effect - Instant and use a Issue Order effect as the effect. Then in the buildings command card, instead of having buttons to train the units via the "train" ability, tie the buttons to the Effect - Instant abilities. That way, you will be able to make them auto-cast and they will still train units when clicked. The only problem you might have is trying to tell the auto-cast when to train units...
