Strange results when using a dialog to move units

I've made a dialog that asks the triggering player where to move a large group of recently spawned units in a region. However when I test this trigger in game it doesn't do anything. By accident when I was changing some settings for the trigger I forgot to set the correct region and was therefore set to "Playable area". When I tested this in game All the heroes started moving to the picked spot but no normal units. Here are some visuals for my triggers:

Trigger 1

Trigger 2

Trigger 3



EDIT: Oh, and everything about the dialog seems to work fine. It's just that the units won't move at all.
 
Interesting. I can only assume that the game didn't notice your spawned units in time to respond to the command. But what are the visuals for? Those triggers don't mention "Playable Map Area" anywhere in them. I'm kind of confused, just what are you asking here?
 
Make a variable of type "Unit Group", then in your first trigger, add the last action that reads "Add (Last Created unit) to Your Unit Group variable"". Then, in your move trigger, pick every unit in your unit group variable and move them like so.

Also, make sure the gate isn't opened, because when it is, it's considered dead and the units will not do anything.
 
Stranger and stranger...

I tried what you said Conan, but no results. However I did notice some of the units were trying to move but are trapped by the other units. So I thought that maybe there is a limit to how many units can be selected. I scaled down from 120 units being created to 20 units. Now when I run the game and select the "Main Gate" button 12 of the units move to the gate and start attacking it, but the rest don't even care. Now 12 is the max number of units that a player can select but I know that the computer can select all of them... what's up?
 
When units get trapped, they stop, period. Try making a few regions like maybe 4 that are right next to eachother, but not overlapping. NOW spawn them in the regions, and add them to the Unit Group.
 
Alright, I figured out the problem. I used the "Pick Every Unit in Unit Group and Do Action" instead of "Issue order targeting a ..." command. I guess the Issue order command can only select the same number of units a player can? At any rate It's fixed now. Conan, I dont think that is causing the previous problem because the region they spawned in was large enough to cover all the units to be selected, but on a side not I'm not sure I understood what you said and my response could be rediculous.

    Hmm what to do about the World Editor site though?
  • Stephen Stephen:
    I'd rather personally just own a backup of the Nuon data than see it go to AtariAge honestly. If it gets enshittified as per usual, or if some of the "regular" Jaguar folks get there, it's not gonna be fun
  • The Helper The Helper:
    There will be a github of the forum data so the NUON Forum Data I guess would be available there
  • The Helper The Helper:
    World Editor is technically Ryoko stuff not mine you guys can keep that I am not in that even
  • jonas jonas:
    :( end of an era :(

    Dont think of it as an end jonas - think of it as a beginning, because really my friend that is what it is.
  • A Andyoyo:

    And we JUST got a new warcraft 3 campaign after 20 years! Bummer lol. Thanks for building and maintaining such an awesome community over the years TheHelper! Forums like these are definitely a relic of their time, and in its heyday it really was the place to be in its niche. Hopefully the discord community stays active!

    and i dont think I am going to close the site it is just likely to change drastically but I am working on something for the interim still fleshing it out. Most of the forums are going to be gone though and the NUON site and Warcraft sites will probably to to different hosts. I might keep the news forum though :)

  • The Helper The Helper:

  • The Helper The Helper:
    I might also just go for one news forum and make it Headline News only all that sub forum stuff was busy work on my part i think :)

    If there's bits still around I am willing to bet I will be, but I honestly wouldn't be too upset if some of my teenager posts were to no longer be around. I was a little fucking problem back then

    I'm going on a backpacking trip pretty soon. I've been trying to do it for a few years now and it just couldn't happen. I'll be by myself, and I think it'll be really good for me. My pack is already too heavy so I can't bring alcohol, and that might be a benefit to me. Like had that probation and couldn't drink, but it's a bit different when you can't do something voluntarily versus threat of literal imprisonment

    The trail is 40 miles altogether, but I'm planning on cutting cross country a bit because I want to camp on top of this mountain. I'm bringing a little telescope, if there's still a place for it I'll post some pictures when I get back!

  • jonas jonas:
    honestly there's nothing on that trip that would become better by drinking
  • jonas jonas:
    looking forward to those pictures
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Happy Thursday people! I think I have come up with a new direction for the site. One that will never fizzle out because a game is not popular anymore. I think I am going to try to make TheHelper.net a place that helps people with real stuff as much as it did with game technical support back in the day. Stay tuned...
