Not unhiding unit , Hero proper names

[Silver]

Hello, I have a problem with a trigger. It is supposed to unhide a unit, but it doesn't. After looking over it, I was unable to find any faults (with the unhiding that is), does anybody know what's wrong?

Also, my custom hero has 15 proper names, but every time I play (test) the scenario, he always uses the same name (the 8th name in the list). Is there a reason for this to happen?

Here is my trigger

      • Else - Actions

(By the way, the death knight sending the transmission is not the hero being hidden and unhidden)

I haven't read through the entire trigger, but I recall hidden units rarely being picked through unit groups. May I suggest to store the unit into a global unit group before hiding if and use this group to unhide him?
I may be totally off topic, if such sorreh .

 

[Silver]

Isn't that what I'm already doing?
(Btw, the unit is a hero (I only want that hero to get to the region "Main Entrance Portal", that's why I removed all the other units (ghouls and healing wards) as you can see) and has both a normal form and a mounted form. Because he could be in either form at the time of him moving, I use pick every unit in order to make sure to get the right one)

Does he have Proper Names Used - 15? Also, you can check if the box at File/Preferences/Test Map - Fixed Random Seed is unchecked. If not, then uncheck it and try it again.

Edit: Also, I'm not sure how hiding/unhiding works but you have "Unit - Unhide ProgressNPC" when you already have the condiotion in the trigger ProgressNPC is alive equal to false. Can you unhide a dead unit?

 

[Silver]

The dead ProgressNPC isn't the one being hidden and unhidden (you can, btw, hide/unhide dead units). I set the hero I wanted to hide/unhide as ProgressNPC further in the trigger, replacing the dead one
"

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 2 (Blue)) and do (Set ProgressNPC = (Picked unit))

"

I'm trying out the Fixed Random Seed thing right now, but yeah he does have Proper Names Used - 15.

EDIT: The proper name problem is fixed now, thanks.

Ah, I missed that. Does Player 2 (Blue) have more then one unit? Because that might screw it up.

 

[Silver]

I already removed all other units it should have, leaving one unit. But this unit can be one of two units (normal version or mounted version) which is why I can't do Pick Every unit in (Units of Type (My Unit)) and do (Hide (Picked Unit))

 

[Devrak]

You could test if that is really the problem by removing the hide/unhide part of the trigger for a while, and add a special effect to that unit to make sure it really is that unit that gets picked. As far as I know, that unit group might pick dead units too. Try to add a matching condition that says it's not dead.

It now works: I set the unit in a variable (different variable) in a previous trigger.
I still wonder why it didn't work though. Could it've been because I first had to set the ProgressNPC variable to Preset: No Unit ? Was it because the variable already had a unit set to it (I don't think so, because in other triggers I can use the same variable multiple times, so that can't be it). Anyway, thanks again Devrak. Can't give you rep twice, sadly.
