Moving Armys

[hasslarn]

Hello , how can i make so that i can move a full army , lets say with 50 units by only controlling one unit?

i have seen this in another game where they use tomes to recruite the units into a unit group then the leader uses a abillity to make all move to the same point.

I tryed alot with trigger anyone that can help?

 

[_whelp]

Maybe have a unit group and select everyone in range of the first unit, then order them to move.

 

[hasslarn]

but how would this be possible

the unit group thing is easy its just picking everyone in range like you said


but for moving them , thats another thing what action and event shall i use?

 

[CuteCumber]

Make a periodic event? Checking every how many seconds, and if the selected unit is moving, set variable for the point it move and order the picked units to move to the point also.

erm...

• Unit - Order (Picked Unit) to move to Temp_Point

Here is a more complete type of idea

• THELPER
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Point = (Target point of issued order)
    • Set UnitGroup = (Units within 512.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To Point

Wc3 Crashes when i try to move the units

Here is the triggers

• Commander
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Commander
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Target unit of ability being cast) is A Hero) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Recruite to (Target unit of ability being cast)
        • Set Followcommander[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Else - Actions

• Recruite
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Recruite
  • Actions
    • Set Commander[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Casting unit)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 500.00 of (Position of Commander[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))])) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Owner of Commander[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))])
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to CommanderGroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))]
          • Else - Actions

• Move
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Ordered unit) Equal to Followcommander[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
  • Actions
    • Set CommPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Target point of issued order)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in CommanderGroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To CommPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]

Recruite is based off roar
and The commander spell is based off inner fire


whats the problem wc3 crashes after using the Recruite then moving the commander.

I guess the commander unit is part of the group and will therefore create an infinite loop, try out this:

• Move
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Ordered unit) Equal to Followcommander[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
  • Actions
    • Set CommPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Target point of issued order)
    • Trigger - Turn off (this Trigger)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in CommanderGroup[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To CommPoint[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
    • Trigger - Turn on (this Trigger)

Now it worked
