Stealthed Units.

Hi

I i am looking to add a condition to this trigger so that permanently cloaked units don't activate it.

Events
Timer - Every 1.0 seconds of Game Time
Local Variables
P = 0 <Integer>
Conditions
Actions
General - For each integer P from 1 to 8 with increment 1, do (Actions)
Actions
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
(Number of Living units in (Any units in Region 001 G owned by player P matching Excluded: Structure, Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount)) > 0
Then
Player - Modify player P Vespene: Add 5
Else


How would i go about this?

You can use the Unit Filter Match function to check if a unit is cloaked:

• ((Triggering unit) is Required: Cloaked for player (Triggering player)) == True

However this won't work if you want to only check for permanently cloaked units. Instead you might be better off checking for specific unit types which are permanently cloaked:

• Or
  • Conditions
    • (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Dark Templar
    • (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Observer
    • etc

The bottom does not seem to work with the event.

How would i go about changing it so if any unit is cloaked it does not activate?

Unfortunately, you can't just set it as a condition since there's no triggering unit. You could however change the "Number of Units in Unit Group" to arithmetic and take the number of living units and subtract all the dark templars and observers.

If you are okay with it only checking cloaked unit(even those who are only temporarily cloaked), it's very easy. Just change the filter in the "Number of Units in Unit Group" action and set cloaked to excluded.

This sounds spot on. How do i do this?

I accidently said it wrong. It's supposed to be set to excluded, not required. Anyway, here's what you do:

You have the condition "(Number of Living units in (Any units in Region 001 G owned by player P matching Excluded: Structure, Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount)) > 0"

There's a filter in there(that's the part with "Excluded: Structure, Missile, Dead, Hidden"). Open up the filter and find "Cloaked" in the list and double-click it until it is "excluded" instead of "Allowed".
