Auto-Follow

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Trying to get a unit to automatically follow me. One is made for each player that is playing at 15 seconds game time then..

• events
  • time - elapsed game time is 16.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • actions
    • unit group - pick every unit in (units in (playable map area)) and do (actions)
      • loop - actions
        • Set Wisp[1] = (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) matching ((Unit-type of (picked unit)) equal to archer))
        • Set Wisp[2] = (Units owned by Player 2 (Blue) matching ((Unit-type of (picked unit)) equal to archer))
        • //repeats for all players
  • Trigger - Turn on Move <gen>

• Move
  • Events
    • Every .5 seconds of game time
  • conditions
  • actions
    • Unit Group - Order Wisp[1] to Right-click RedHero ((this is a unit variable i have set to the heroes))
    • //repeats for all the array on the seperate heroes

Thanks if you can spot the error

What is the problem? (What bit isn't working?)

 

[Gtam]

Shouldnt it be order wisp[1] to folow hero

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

oh sorry i renamed the variable, those are the same.

And they aren't following me or even moving at all. Not sure why

 

[Gtam]

Do pick every unit in wisp[1] and do action. Order picked unit to right click hero

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Hmm still didn't work

 

[Gtam]

Do what i said but order picked unit to patrol hero

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Don't see 'patrol' on the list ;[ Did you mean follow? If so I tried that first and it didn't work either

 

[Gtam]

Post your curent trigers plz

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Lol i think i caught it..
I had

Set Wisp[1] = (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) matching ((unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Archer))

rather than

Set Wisp[1] = (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) of type Archer)

Hold on, seeing if that works.

Edit: Did not work.

[Gtam]

Lol you hav matching unit type of picked unit. There is no picked unit

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Yeah caught that and fixed it.. Didn't change the fact that the unit doesn't move to my hero though :[

Edit : caught another problem; my RedHero variable was getting swapped once the unit spawned, didn't have boolean comparison on Seeing if that fixes it now.

Haha victory! Lesson learned: Always make sure your variables are staying what you want them to be The reason they weren't moving is because they were rightclicking and following themselves ;P

Dont pick units in trig 1 just set the groups to. Units in playable map area owned by player matching condition matching unit is acher eqaul to true
