looking for an formula

[Sartan]

if i have x units stored in a unit varible with array
and if 1 of these units die, i want to remove the dead unit from my unit array and set all units above the unit that died one step lower.

for example:

i got 5 units stored in unit array called U[1], U[2] ... U[5].
if U[3] dies, U[4] will be set to U[3] and U[5] will be set to U[4].

could someone give me the formula for this?

• ur trig
  • events
    • a unit dies
  • conditions
  • actions
    • for each integer a from (the unit number which died) to (however many units you got, the last number)
      • loop
        • if/then/else
          • if
            • (dying unit) equal to u[integer a]
          • then
            • set U[integer a] = U[integer a - 1]
            • ----use arithmetic func to get ^
            • ----not sure, still thinking---
          • else

let me think, hold on...
im pretty sure you will need a unit-group and put all those units in that group!

edit: something like the above trigger should work.. i dont have WE on this comp, so this is coming from my head...

take your time, i'm going nowere

I've actually done something like this.

That's the old verison of that map. (1.0b)


Here's the Newer test verison. Try (1.1a)

cant say it realy helped me^^ since i cant se the connection from that to my problem^^

It's a unit array that goes down when one of the towers dies.

Because the index number is set to an integer. That increases as new units of the same type are introduced and decreases as they are killed or replaced.

However the problem in that map is if you kill the last tower you built no unit will spawn there. Though if you kill the second tower out of say 4, a footman will spawn there, he will die, and one tower will still remain.

Are these units the same?

If they are just go with a unit group.

no my units are x diffrent units. based on their current health and i cant do it like you have done it, when a unit dies, i need all units to be put at the right order at the same time.

Event
A unit dies
Conditions
---
Actions
Loop Integer A 1 to 10
If
Triggering unit equal to Var[IntegerA]
Then
Loop Integer B from 1 to Integer A
Set Var[Integer B - 1] equal to Var[Integer B]
Else
----

ty that will do
