Replacing Units

[C++]

How come my trigger doesn't work?

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If ((Ability being cast) Equal to Morph into Hydralisk (Neutral Hostile)) then do (Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Hydralisk using The old unit's relative life and mana) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Ability being cast) Equal to Morph into a Human (Neutral Hostile)) then do (Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Marine using The old unit's relative life and mana) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Ability being cast) Equal to Morph into a Zergling (Neutral Hostile)) then do (Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Zergling using The old unit's relative life and mana) else do (Do nothing)

When I cast the hydralisk ability with a marine, it replaces the marine with a zergling and a hydralisk. whats the problem here?

The else do (do nothing) from the first one makes it skip the rest of them I think. Change it to if / then / else multiple functions and put them connected
e.g.
if its equal to hydralisk
replace unit with hydralisk
else
if its equal to human
replace unit with human
else
if its zergling
replace unit with zergling
else
do nothing

Yeah, I've tried it previously but it didn't work. I just did it in that format so it would be kindof easier to read.

check the baseid on the two morphs? I imagine you made them from the same base spell and might have forgotten to change it

Yeah same base spell, but how would I change/check the baseid?

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Should be on the ability in object editor

Nope it's not there

 

[ArmyOfFrogs]

Ah dang maybe its just with spellbooks then ._. Mind uploading map so I could take a peak

The option you refer to is only on Channel, Spellbook, and Charge Gold/Lumber.

Solution to your problem: Either base the three spells off of different base abilities, or base them all off channel and change the Base Order ID's to all be different.

 

[LordXavier]

To check the baseid: open up Object Editor, go to View at the top, click on "Display Values As Raw Data" or just hit Ctrl+D in Object Editor

Using different base abilities worked, thanks! But I would rather change the base order ID's. I've added a custom ability with the base Channel but I don't see any Base ID (Yes, I do have display values as raw data checked)

 

[Faust]

You don't have to rawdata anything...
Go to ability editor, select your channel spell, look through the fields, there will be TWO which reads "channel"
The one you need is something like Data - Base Order ID

 

[Kelvin87]

don forget to change the option to visible, else you will not able to see any ability in your unit.

Hmm, replace unit was always buggy for me, I never use it.
