im interested on know how to store units by using a unit-variable

i know what u have to do in basics but i dont know how or how to set up teh trigger

ive tried this

set (variable[0]) = to Palidin 001

ive tried setting different varriables for different skills plz some tell me, i cant seem to get anything to work and world edit wont accept the varriale in teh trigger
 
Ok first your asking for unit variables then out of nowhere u change to abilities... Not enough information to help... please be more specific :rolleyes:
 
ok its for a hero so by skills i mean i tried story his attributes and all seperatly, all i want to know is how to store heros and regular units in a
unit-variable ignore everything else i
(ts just where ive got thinking so far)
 
When you store a unit in a unit variable, it stores everything about the unit. No need to store skills seperately.
 
oh wow waht a helpfull post-. . . not
if u know so much plz just give me the answer
thats good to know it stores the whole unit BUT HOW !!!!!!!
 
Keep your damn shirt on, man. I don't see anything wrong with the trigger action you posted. You'll need to give more information if you want us to be able to actually help satisfactorily.
 
sry i got a bit testy where i live its past 1:30 in the morning

theres not much to give

its for a hero but i dont know if tehre is any problem storing the unit then maby its loading it

i want to make it like so

E: unit enters region 001
C: Unit is equal to hero
A: set Mimic_hero[0] = to entering unit
A: Wait 1 second
A: create one unit Mimic_hero[0] for nutral hostile in center of region 001

IT DOSENT WORK

any ideas
 
lol your trying to make a unit that exists...when you use the unit variable all it does is put a handle on the unit, so you can refrence to that unit later on. so for mimicing the unit just set all the abilities and levels and attributes and all that to be the same as the unit. like set hero level = (level of hero (unit[0])) etc...
 
so i was right in teh pm i sent u lol what a waste of time and why not a game cache it works fine. . . is there something it will interfeer wiht later
 
well for the caches it would make the exact unit, and would classify it as that unit so it would mess up triggers that store that unit in a variable.
 
A couple hours ago, someone posted a map that does that.
And it uses the game cache.
A search on "mimic" should turn it up.
The basic outline is also somewhere in the Free Trigger Code thread.

Why would storing something in the game cache mess up other triggers?
 
but for this trigger i used 0 variables and tested it

it works fine are u talking about other game cahes that would be used in the future for the unit

so it would like store teh creep unit yes for that one cahe. . .

cant u just create a new game cache and save to last instead that would work also
 
i don't know much about caches, and i think thats guitarplays map your talking about acehart. but as per my understanding, it would save any variables the unit is currently in right? so if there is an array storing the hero that each player owns, and then a trigger that checks inventory for items that are equipable and stuff like that, then what would happen when the hero was mimiced? wouldn;t he be replaced in the variable by the new copied hero and in doing so become unaffected by the trigger that cotrols his items? if it dosnt do things like thism, but just makes another unit with the same stats and such (and makes no lag) then its fine.
 
technicaly its not teh same unit because wehn a unit enters teh game it gets tagged right as like footamn 005 or gfootman 001

if they were tagged as the same unit then i think when one unit attacked one teh other would also take damage but i do not belive that they are teh same units but i could be rong

it is basicaly makeing a glitch cuase ur loading it after its allready ther??? of course i dont think hm

u make a point there

u know what when i find a map w/ unit variables and everything then il test that out, maby if u were nive i could borrow a coppie of the map were creating and test that

good point though only thing is. . .

one belongs to player 1 and other i nutral hostile

wouldent taht make it so that well it wasnt teh same unit cause whel anywas i dont know either
 
> It would save any variables the unit is currently in right?

A variable is a reference to the unit.
Doing things like asking for Owner of (Unit) has a look at the actual unit.
For example, if your unit changes owner, there's no need to reput it in the variable.

Storing things in the game cache, however, makes a copy of everything and keeps that copy.

There is no interference there.
 
I Remember a bug in my old map that did something similar, i didnt add the hero check to creep respawn trigger, so it revived my hero for neutral hostile and for the owner. The neutral hostile guy was lvl 1-3 randomly when u were lvl 6... it was wierd
 
so ace herat u mean that it does not alter teh variables to that unit but it would actualy just make an extra set of varriables thhat applied to that unit?? in that case it is the exact same and can be used in any triggers but has no interference with the first hero

nice that would be good and so much more simple

new topic
this is so i dont have to use another thread nad can reuse this one (still almost same topic)

plz post ur oppinions on whether u feel using a gam cache in a game that duplicates a unit for another different player(nutral hostile) than the origional player (user player) would interfeer with and variables that teh unit teh game cache stores is allready in

i like to have second oppinions
 
Game caches only saves the stats for the unit
When you load a unit from a game cache, the system create a new unit, setting every stats to the ones the cloned unit has.
But triggers related to that unit won't be cloned.
Variables referencing the cloned unit won't be cloned.
Only stats (health, mana, owner, unit-type, agi, str, int) and items (if it has inventory) also abilities.
But it is, in fact, a new unit, not the same unit.

    Mayo also has vinegar. Vinegar is a very important part of it, it's effectively a delivery method FOR vinegar but hidden

    It's a neat ingredient. But yeah it's eggs. But a LOT of people think eggs count as dairy because of the fucking food pyramid the US keeps trying to make a thing
  • Varine Varine:
    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.

    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best
     +1
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
