Go to Actions, Set Variable. There is something like this: Variable = Value.
Press Variable. A new window appears. Press "Edit Variables". There is a green "X". Press that; it created a new variable. A new window appears. Type any name for the variable you want, like Point1. Then, from the field below the name field, scroll down to "Point". Press ok. Again press Ok. Again press Ok )) Now, go to Value. Press it. "Tick" the "Function" and choose from that second field the "Unit - Position of (Entering unit))". Press Ok. Press Ok. Variable is done.

Go to Actions

There is something like this: Variable = Value.

What? i dont see it. Mind telling me where is that ''set variable'' thing?

Press Variable. A new window appears. Press "Edit Variables". There is a green "X". Press that; it created a new variable. A new window appears. Type any name for the variable you want, like Point1.

Done that, worked.

Now, go to Value. Press it. "Tick" the "Function" and choose from that second field the "Unit - Position of (Entering unit))". Press Ok. Press Ok. Variable is done.

Here's pretty much where you lost me.

By ''go to value'', would you mind telling me where it is? i know i osund retarded but i just fail to see it in my screen. Heres a screenshot:

Wow.... this sound so lame, i cant even understand what you guys are saying even if its perfectly explained -_-

ok but how can i include it in a trigger?

 

[Sim]

Lets say a trigger forces him to cast polymorph everytime an unit cross a certain region, when theres like 10 units that crosses at the same time, only 1-2 will get polymorph... any ideas?

You can do 2 things:

1. Create 1 dummy for every unit that enters (refer to the recent posts).

2. Create 1 dummy in all and refer to post #7.

Actions:
-Set Variable.

Change variable to point1
and the right hand side to the point that you want.

    Set Point1=<position of entering unit>
    Create 1 <your dummy unit> at point1
    Add <Polymorph> to <last created unit>
    Order <last created unit> to <Human-Sorceress: Polymorph> <entering unit>.
    Add Generic expiration timer of 2 seconds to <last created unit.>
    call RemoveLocation(udg_point1)

The last line which is "call RemoveLocation(udg_point1)" is a custom script (it is at the actions). You have to TYPE in everything from the word call Remove...point1)
