Special Effect Help

[FMAlchemist]

okok, i got this idea where when a unit goes near a certain object that can be interacted with (Eg. a leaver). an exclemation mark appears on there head.

but, i want that when the unit moves away from that object (the region) the exclemation mark dissapears.

ive gotten this far, but the problem is, when removing a special effect, theres only the command "remove last created" and well, that really limits me, because if one unit were to near the leaver, and then a different unit enters aswell, adn they both get the exclemation mark, how do i remove them when they wlak out of the region

Create a Special Effects Array (This would work better if it's 1 unit per player, if it's not, tell me) of the size of number of players.

Event - Unit enters Region
Conditions -
Actions - Create Special Effect - etc. etc.
Set SpecialEffectVar[Players number of owner of triggering unit] = Last Created Effect

Event - A unit leaves region
Conditions
Actions - Remove SpecialEffectVar[Player number of owner of triggering unit]

well, each player only has only one hero and like a pet or somthing, or a summon.

so could i liek add a trigger in so it only effects heros?

or would that b harder then making it for multiple units?

That would make it easier.

this is a boolean comparison

Conditions
    ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True

Use the player index as a unique variable for player's hero as esb suggested.

1. You go to trigger editor first, of course.
2. Press CTRL+B to pop the variable dialog up.
3. Press CTRL+N to create a new variable.
4. Type name for your variable.
5. Set type of the variable to Special Effect.
6. Click the array box.
7. Then press OK to create the variable.
8. Press OK once again to close the variable dialog.
9. Press CTRL+R to open up action list.
10. Choose the 7th action called Set Variable.
11. Click the "Variable" field and choose the new special effect variable.
12. Click the "Index" field and scroll down the list until you see value called "Player - Player Number".
13. Click the "(Triggering player)" value and then choose "Owner of Unit".
14. Click OK
15. And then click OK once again.
16. Click the "Value" field and click OK.

Then you have that kind of.. action. Is it too detailed?
