...maybe because when you turn off the trigger there is no longer "Guistaro - triggering Unit"?

 

[Magazette2]

the variable has still been set though

theres only one of that type of unit in the map every game

 

[master maste]

try removing the first trigger at the end of the second trigger.

 

[~GaLs~]

If i am not mistaken...though...

Death unit wont explode...you need to set it explode on death when the unit is alive

 

[Magazette2]

how do i set it do explode on death?

 

[AceHart]

There's an action for that under "unit"...


On a related note, there's an ability called "AOE damage on death", which does area damage when the unit dies, according to the usual "targets allowed".

        Set Guistaro_position = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Set Guistaro_group = (Units within 225.00 of Guistaro_position matching ((((Triggering unit) is A structure) Not equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Guistaro)) Equal to True)))

        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Guistaro_position)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_Guistaro_group)

like that

or should i just make it so that when the unit dies, i create a dummy unit where it died and explode the dummy unit?

when this trigger is fired the game collapses

any1 know why?

 

[duyen]

It shouldn't crash, there are no leaks or endless loops.

EDIT: Try removing the dummy unit, after it explodes.

Unit - Remove (Last created unit)

        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Guistaro_group and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Cause [COLOR="Red"]Guistaro[/COLOR] to damage (Picked unit), dealing (15.00 + (5.00 x (Real((Level of Guistaro Aura  for Guistaro))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

What's Guistaro?
I'm guessing a unit of some sort. It was never set in the trigger, though.
What if this unit is dead when the trigger fires?

EDIT: Not sure if this matters or not, but there shouldn't be a space between: 'call RemoveLocation' and '(udg_Guistaro_position)', should be: 'call RemoveLocation(udg_Guistaro_position)' (same in the call DestroyGroup -function).
I doubt that's the reason the game crashes, though..

 

[duyen]

If you read his previous thread it was set in a different trigger.

 

[Magazette2]

your allowed to have spaces between the RemoveLocation and the (udg arent you? or it doesnt work remove it then and therefore causes leaks?

bump

removeiung the unit after exploding it still crashes

 

[Choppa]

Use Explode on Death?

Gustionalo (Or whatever it's called)
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters (<Region>)
    Conditions
        <Your conditions>
    Actions
        Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Explode on death

 

[Magazette2]

i could do that, but its an aura so its always changing

 

[Ghan]

I suppose there's always the A Unit's Life Becomes Less than 1. Then explode. That would probably work.

 

[Magazette2]

unfortunately thats a specific unit event

 

[Choppa]

What do you mean "it's an aura so it's always changing"? I'm not trying to be a smartass I am just wondering, how can it be an aura and what's the significace of it changing?

 

[Ghan]

> unfortunately thats a specific unit event

So? That's what your first trigger would be for. To add the proper event to the second trigger.

 

[Magazette2]

basically theres an aura, that all units effected by the aura at time of death (all the conditions make that) then make it explode

if its not effected by the aura it wont explode

how can u make a group a secific unit?
