Unit Enters Region

Smitty · Feb 9, 2012

I have a trigger which uses the event 'a unit enters a region', and then displays a text message to all players. The problem is that if I enter the region, then leave and go back in, it shows the message the first time, but not any time subsequent to that. Anyone got any idea what gives? Thanks in advance

It should work just fine. See my attached example.

The problem must be in your trigger. If you could paste it here we'll see what's wrong.

Please post the code in code format :]

Because you create and destroyed 'All player'. The player group is not supposed to be destroyed because it doesn't leak. Just a guess.

These are the triggers dealing directly with the regions. The events to the triggers containing chat strings are added at map initialization by another trigger.

Here are the other triggers, since they turn on/off various others. But I'm sure the necessary triggers are left ON at the end.

there are others referring to specifics regarding the area, but they don't turn any triggers on or off. So, anyone able to see the problem?

Thanks for the help ^^

EDIT: I know I destroyed TempGroup twice. Ignore it

I know double post, but;

To explain, just in case, what I want is for the trigger 'ants nest stand on entry region' to be on as standard. Ants nest during reset (off at initialisation) should be turned on during Ants Nest victory or reset, whilst stand on entry region is off. But this doesn't seem to be the case. Even just having the first trigger enabled and not the rest, it only occurs once.

You shouldn't add Players into group and destroy them...
Try this:

Code:

    Set TempPlayerGroup = ......
    Game - Display to TempPlayerGroup the text: Please wait up to a...
    Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempPlayerGroup)

Smitty · Feb 10, 2012

Wait, that's what I did :s isn't it? Oh, I see

but that's not the problem, is it?

It is, the problem with adding players/units to player groups / unit groups is that the groups have to exist beforehand in order to work.
if you destroy a group with custom text to prevent leaks you really destroy that group. You cannot add anything to the group afterwards.
You would need to create a new group first by setting the variable to a group.
