detecting units in range

[Ticer]

I've been working on this trigger for awhile and have been able to come up with some so-so solutions that really don't create the results I'm looking for. :banghead: Anyways, I am trying to make a trigger so for a unit that is moving along a set path and when it comes in range of enemy units, it stops, waits until they are dead, then moves again to a set location.

Events
Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)) and (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False))) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Picked unit) is in (Units within 800.00 of (Position of Wagon 0007 <gen>))) Equal to True
Then - Actions
Unit - Order Wagon 0007 <gen> to Stop
Else - Actions
Unit - Order Wagon 0007 <gen> to Move To (Center of Region 017 <gen>)

The wagon doesn't move at all, no matter whether the condition is true or false and I need help on what to do at this point or even if my trigger is completely off base.

cant you change it so its an integer variable for the if then else statement and you can check if they are matching your conditions?

Something like this?:

Test
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set SomeGroup = (Units within 800.00 of (Position of ([B]YourUnit[/B])) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)) and ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))))
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Number of units in SomeGroup) Greater than 0
            Then - Actions
                ...stop
            Else - Actions
                ...move

That worked perfectly, thanks so much for your response!

get mpqmaster and extract the tft human campaign secret mission and copy the map, easy
you could use a unit in range event instead
you could scan units around the wagon instead

i think unit in range event works better

> use a unit in range event instead

I think it's not such a good idea though. Because the event only fires when a unit enters the range. Which orders the wagon to 'stop'. What about 'move'? Periodic wouldn't hurt much.


Edit:
> Periodic wouldn't hurt much.

Unless someone start mentioning the 'L' word again...

I have a trigger "system" where if any enemy players can see you, you will get a text stating " playernamehere can see you" then when no enemy players can see you, you get a text "your safe".
Its to late for you to use it thought. (could modify it to what you wanted).

It leaks in three different spots right now. Forgive me.

It IS a periodic though.
Right now it wont spawn the warning text EVERY time the enemy can see you if your already in ANY enemy players sight. (prevents lots of player x can see you spam) And ONLY says your safe when ALL enemy players can not see you. (also prevents alot of spam)

Funny enough this code went through SO MUCH **** just to put in the conditions so it wouldn't spam. lol.

I think I could take out the periodic and replace it with the ranged event. Save everyone some lag.
I'll post it for the sake of variety:
