The original post before I fixed it:
Then there is a second problem (now the current problem). When I learn Battle orders all units get the normal buff, but I have to cast the spell exactly three times before the buffs start revolving. :banghead: What's up with that? How can I fix it? They do in fact receive the bonuses from the buffs, and they revolve correctly, but unless I cast it 3 times they don't have a buff icon.
Triggers:
Update: The updating buff trigger is it fool proof?
The condition is a boolean array and switches the value from false to true if they pick this hero.
So I have a spell called Battle Orders. It is based off war stomp and does absolutely nothing just to be used for ability level comparison and a trigger event.
When this spell is learned TempGroup is assigned to be matching units in playable map area non hero, non structure, alive. Then given Normal Order, told to cast it, then remove it from them.
When Battle Orders is cast it sets TempGroup again to the same as above. Then there are three if/then/elses if the unit has normal order buff then it gives them offensive order, levels it to the level of battle orders, casts it and removes it. If they have the offensive buff they get a defensive one instead. It they have the defensive one then they get the normal buff. So effectively it cycles between 3 combat styles.
Now here is the problem I'm stumped on:
Only units present when the spell is learned receive the Normal Order spell to use to get the normal buff the whole system revolves around. how do I get the trained units to be updated to the current order and keep it MPI.
I thought about having the trigger check all units alive and decide to give them the current order matching the other units of the same owner, but what if all units are dead and there is nothing to compare to? I think I figured out a way while typing this....When a unit is finished training pick all units matching the same owner and check for all 3 buffs and give it the same one and the final else will default it to normal should cover if all units are dead. Anyone see a problem with that?
