Trigger not working (unit group)

[MissKerrigan]

Hi,

I created a trigger which fires when a unit group is 0 but it isnt working

I made the condition:

if number of unit group is '0'
then run trigger level 2

nothing happens after the last unit of the unit group is killed
I really don't understand this, did I overlooked something?

The condition must be "number of living units in unit group = 0"

Is this a part of a trigger? Or this is the whole trigger? Maybe there is a problem in the other part of the trigger if it's more than this. In that case can u post the whole trigger?

What is the event of the trigger? You cant just have a condition, you need an event as well.

 

[Phubar]

I think it's a "if then else" function, a part of a bigger trigger.

 

[MissKerrigan]

I placed the condition if the Melee Initialization trigger so it must be count always

 

[X-maul]

Melee Initialization is when the map just have finished loading. That will not be count always...

If you want to check if all the time, you will need to use a periodic event.

BUT - I would suggest you to use a wait for condition that uses your condition.

 

[MissKerrigan]

thx for the 'wait for condition'! it works now

I personally would use the Unit Dies event since it is supposed to count when a unit dies.

 

[MissKerrigan]

yes Dave, but when the last unit of the unit group dies, I'm not sure if the number of the unit group is '1' or '0' when the trigger must fire

 

[X-maul]

If you set the event to Unit Dies, and the condition to number of living units in unit group = 0.

If the last unit dies, there will be 0 living units in the unit group, and the condition will return true.

 

[MissKerrigan]

yes but the unit group WAS 1, so it's not sure if the condition counts before or after

 

[Siretu]

It counts after. The unit group was 1, then one died(now the unit group is 0), then the event triggered, then the condition is checked(and since it's 0, it works).

thanks Siretu, that's the part I wanted to know
