Is there any way to skip remaining actions in a different trigger?

I got a trigger that will repeadetly spawn units and send them to attack another unit, but if the attacked unit dies, I want to stop the trigger from running by skipping remaining actions, but I cant do it from within the trigger. So I need to use another trigger with the correct events and conditions, and skip the remaining actions from in there.
Is this possible, and if it is, then how?
 
I don't know if there's a nicer way, but in lack of other suggestions you could always have a global boolean variable and an if-check in the spawn trigger that skips remaining actions if the boolean is true.

Then to make that trigger skip remaining actions, set the boolean to true.
 
hmm, well the problem is that the way it works is that it got a wait action that waits untill the amount of units in a unit group is 0, and then goes on.
And if my unit dies before the wait is over, it should skip the remaining actions.

Dont you know of any custom script that might be able to solve this? :rolleyes:
 
event: any unit dies
condition: (Triggering unit) == *any method of determining the unit. e.g. unit type
action: Trigger - Stop all instances of (your trigger)
I haven't tried but this will kill the trigger once the unit in question dies. Problem with this is if you have multiple instances of the trigger it might(not sure) stop it all.
 
no need variables and hard stuff...

just stop all instances of trigger and run the trigger again by antoher trigger

(yes mister X-Maul, copy my text)
 
I just came up with another method - I'll simply put a boolean varaible that will be set to true if the game is lost, and then have a if then else action that runs a skip remaining actions, if the boolean is set to true.

EDIT: I didnt know of that Stop all instances of TRIGGER. It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Ghin :)
 
Ghin? ow haha now I see he said the same (didn't copied!)
well, it's not that I do not appriciate your help, but your post was posted 2.5 hours later than his, and they practically said the same. So to me it counts as if Ghin helped me, but thanks for trying though ;)
 
I tried to remove my post after I saw Ghin's post but can't remove a post, I could only edit it to '0'

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
