House buying and selling...

[OMGOMGOMG]

OK, you all should know that I am creating a map, from all the posts I've done, and need help with this odd thing.

I buy the house and it buys and then sell the house it sells and try to buy the house again and it still doesn't work

bump... still not working. 25 reviews, no posts...

I have no idea what exactly you're trying to do.

(Selling unit) Equal to HouseOptions[1]

What is HouseOptions[1]? Are these different shops that are selling items?
What exactly happens that "doesn't work" as you said above?

 

[OMGOMGOMG]

HouseOptions[1] is a variable... unit variable with 50 (or something) things(forgot what they are called as I haven't been on warcraft 3 or world editor much) so yea, pretty much.

The unit buys an item which gets used and the owner of the buying unit buys the house. when the unit sells the house, the owner of the selling house revers back to the normal unit and anyone is able to buy the house again... what happens instead of that is it reverts back to the normal unit, anyone is able to buy the house and when they do buy the item, it doesn't buy the item... the trigger just simply doesn't work.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but it looks like the problem has to do with HouseOptions variable referencing a removed unit the 2nd time round. I suggest instead of removing the seller, instanly move the seller to somewhere that isn't used in your map when sold, then when the house is rebought move it back, or give the house seller some form of metamorphasis ability and when purchased or sold switch between house/seller form.

As a side note you can cut down on a bit of code using the conditions

Or - Any or the
(condition 1) or (contion 2) equals true

in your small/medium house item sold if statements meaning only one block to change
