        Set FinalGroup = (Random 8 units from TempGroup)

                Animation - Change PickedUnit's animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed
                Unit - Set PickedUnit movement speed to 0.00
                Unit - Pause PickedUnit
        Wait 2.00 game-time seconds
        Unit - Unpause PickedUnit
        Unit - Set PickedUnit movement speed to (Real(OrigMoveSpeed))
        Animation - Change PickedUnit's animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
        Special Effect - Destroy TimeFreezeAnimation
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_FinalGroup)

The above trigger is meant to 'freeze' the picked units for a duration so that they can't move or attack. But im having problems with unpausing the picked units:

Only 1 of the picked units from the FinalGroup is unpaused, and has its movespeed set back to normal (same with its animations, and its SFX are destroyed as well). Why is it that all of the other picked units, apart from the 1, not set back to normal/unfrozen?

Please help me on this one :nuts:

        Wait 2.00 game-time seconds
        Unit - Unpause PickedUnit
        Unit - Set PickedUnit movement speed to (Real(OrigMoveSpeed))
        Animation - Change PickedUnit's animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
        Special Effect - Destroy TimeFreezeAnimation

Did you try putting these in the loop?

Did you try putting these in the loop?

Wait actions cannot be used with that function. And, I need the waits as well.

 

[lh2705]

wait, whats the random 8 units for?

 

[Tinki3]

wait, whats the random 8 units for?

To set a limit as to how much units you can freeze (it works).

 

[lh2705]

Why did you set the movespeed of the picked units to 0?
if they are paused, they already cant move..

If u put the loop there after the wait it should still work?

You mean that last Wait of 2.00 secs? Il try that.

is a matter of change

It worked partly - unpaused the picked units, and set animation speed back to normal. However, only 1 of the picked units has its special effect destroyed from it?

Because only one of the animations is "time freeze animation" and that is destroyed first loop maybe?? Try something like naming all the animations or putting a timer on them or something.....
