need help with the play animation action

[rtatpi]

Every 3 seconds of game time, I want three riflemen to play their attack animation. this is what the trigger looks like

Event - Every 3.00 seconds of game time

Condition -

Actions -
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in riflemen shots <gen> matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Rifleman)) and do (Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s attack animation)

it looks like it is correct to me, but when i test run the game the said riflemen are standing idle. I checked to make sure they were all in the riflemen shots region, and they are.

can somebody review my trigger and try to find the bug?

thanks, again,
rtatpi

(Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s attack animation)

try replacing picked unit with matching unit perhaps (?)

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in riflemen shots <gen> matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Rifleman)) and do (Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s attack animation)

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in riflemen shots <gen> matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Rifleman)) and do (Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s attack animation)

I think the problem is that the unit isn't picked yet. Try using "Pick every unit in unit in region of type" instead.

Hope this helps.

i did change the from picked unit to matching unit.

oh my mistake. but why bother just saying what i had just said?

anyway wouldnt it be:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in riflemen shots <gen> matching ((Unit-type of ([B]Picked unit[/B])) Equal to Rifleman)) and do (Animation - Play ([B]Matching[/B] unit)'s attack animation)

Previous trigger:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in riflemen shots <gen> matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Rifleman)) and do (Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s attack animation)

Lol same exact one, but kool that it works.

 

[rtatpi]

hmm, wow your're right. I wonder how that happened o well, either way it works now!

 

[lllidan]

great

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in riflemen shots <gen> matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Rifleman)) and do (Animation - Play (Picked unit)'s attack animation)

That wouldn't work, the bold part would have to be "matching unit" for it to work, littlelamb had it right the first time.

Unit Group - [I]Pick every unit[/I] in (Units in riflemen shots <gen> [B]matching[/B] ((Unit-type of ([B]Matching unit[/B])) Equal to Rifleman)) and do (Animation - Play ([I]Picked unit[/I])'s attack animation)

It picks units from group and orders picked unit
To find which units match, it uses matching unit to compare

yes he already has it, you don't need to restate it.
