How would one go about finding the 2 closes units, to the unit using the spell?
What I have so far

• Track
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Track
  • Actions
    • Set TempReal2 = 1000000000.00
    • Set TempGroup = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Deer))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempLocation = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        • Set TempLocation2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Set TempReal = (Distance between TempLocation and TempLocation2)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • TempReal Less than TempReal2
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempReal2 = TempReal
            • Set TempUnit = (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempLocation2)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempLocation)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_TempGroup)
    • Set TempLocation = (Position of TempUnit)
    • Cinematic - Ping minimap for (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) at TempLocation for 2.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempLocation)

But it only finds one, since I don't know how to make that the 2 closes

Thanks,

Put all that in a loop of 2 and use an if there to check if the unit is in your unit group, then in the end of that loop, add the unit to the unit group.

 

[_whelp]

Maybe it's because you set TempReal2 to TempReal...

Wha'? What unit group?

Maybe it's because you set TempReal2 to TempReal...

That's done so it can find the closest unit.. if it doesn't set it, then the TempReal would never become lower, indicating the closes unit.

 

[AceHart]

Sort them to an array and take the top two?


Alternatively, hope that something as simple as
Set Unit2 = Unit1
Set Unit1 = (Picked unit)
actually works
(Provided you compare the latest picked unit to both if it isn't closer than the current best)

Thats what I had in mind, since I've seen it some done somewhere before. Just don't really know how to do it

Edit:
I now got this, how do I pick the 2 lowest? Thx,

Sorry for not helping you with your trigger instead but i have a working one here whuch i just put together... it hasn't been leakchecked much but. and you just change the condition first unitgroup variable to Deer, wasn't it :S and the messages are only to see that it worked

This gives me:

Clearly not the lowest... What am I doing wrong?

[AceHart]

Set Unit1 = No unit
Set Unit2 = No unit
Set Distance1 = 99999.0
Set Distance2 = 99999.0
Pick every unit in ...
- If Math-Distance(unit1, (Picked unit)) less than Distance1 then
- - Set Distance2 = Distance1
- - Set Distance1 = Math-Distance(unit1, (Picked unit))
- - Set Unit2 = Unit1
- - Set Unit1 = (Picked unit)
- Else if Math-Distance(unit2, (Picked unit)) less than Distance2 then
- - Set Distance2 = Math-Distance(unit2, (Picked unit))
- - Set Unit2 = (Picked unit)

Think I also messed AceHarts reply up... damn this is mighty fucking complicated for my little head.

None of these numbers are correct what so ever

On the other one I made, I just discovered that the numbers were correct, but it picked number 3,4 instead of 1,2 .. anyone know why?
Correction: Just checked many times, and it picks 1,3 .. instead of 1,2
