Region Trigger

[KiLo]

I'm making my first map and having a few difficultys. I wanted help with a region trigger i would like to develop, i have seen it before but i don't know to make one myself.

Heres my idea: A triggering unit would walk from region 1 to region 2, and would say the area that they are entering into.
Ex. You are now entering the forest

I know how to make it say the message but i need to know the variables for The directions

Do you wnat it to say a message to thre player when they enter the region or do you want a transmissionf rom the unit that your entering it? If it's the first one then you just create this trigger

Events
Unit - A unit enters Your region<gen>
Conditions
Actions
Display to owner of (Entering unit) the text: You are entering the forest

You can add a condition like (Entering unit) is a hero equal to true so if you have 10 units entering the region it won't display it ten times.

Hmm sorry i dont think i made my self that clear,

I knew that trigger just if you have 2 regions next to eachother I don't want it saying entering forest while you are actually leaving the region and then it saying the region im actually Entering


Ex. *Player is in the forest and heads towards the city* (the region that would trigger saying " Entering the forest" would also say it while The player is leaving. After he goes to the next area it would also say "Entering the city"

I would like to eliminate that Message when leaving the region, hopefully you understand my problem now =/

I don't know how to explain it but if I'm correct I think you want these triggers:

Entering Forest
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Forest <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players matching ((Owner of (Entering unit)) Equal to (Matching player))) the text: Entering the Forest

Exiting Forest
    Events
        Unit - A unit leaves Forest <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Leaving unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players matching ((Owner of (Leaving unit)) Equal to (Matching player))) the text: Exiting the Forest

Entering City
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters City <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players matching ((Owner of (Entering unit)) Equal to (Matching player))) the text: Entering the City

Exiting City
    Events
        Unit - A unit leaves City <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Leaving unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players matching ((Owner of (Leaving unit)) Equal to (Matching player))) the text: Exiting the City

[EDIT] If your unnit is not a hero then just change that condition or remove it.

Assuming you start in the city, have the "city" trigger initially off.

Use something like this:

TriggerForest
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Forest <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: Entering forest
        Trigger - Turn on TriggerCity <gen>
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)


TriggerCity
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters City <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: Entering city
        Trigger - Turn on TriggerForest <gen>
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

So, once you are in the forest, the forest trigger will turn itself off,
and the city trigger on.
And the other way around.

Square regions don't fit?
Use several. Non-overlapping preferrably.
Then add a couple more events...
Unit enters City1
Unit enters City2
...
