It's perfectly possible to put a "pick every unit" loop inside another "pick every unit" loop.
But, obviously, the "Picked unit" in the inner loop will be different from the "Picked unit" in the outer loop.


"Set <whatever>Group = units of type" isn't needed.
You already have two triggers that fill in those groups as the units are created.


The "player" loop is not needed.
Simply remember the position and the owner of the "picked unit" in the first loop,
and compare that player to the owner of the "picked unit" in the second loop.
If both are the same and the distances are "close enough" or not, then ... do something.

AceHart, would this work:

Code: 
Untitled Trigger 004
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in GathererGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set GathererPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
                Set GoldPlayer = (Owner of (Picked unit))
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in ResourcesWagonGroup and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to GoldPlayer
                            Then - Actions
                                Set ResourcesWagonPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
                                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                                    If - Conditions
                                        (Distance between GathererPoint and ResourcesWagonPoint) Less than or equal to 70.00
                                    Then - Actions
                                        Game - Display to (All players) the text: done
                                        Player - Add -10 to GoldPlayer Current gold
                                    Else - Actions
                            Else - Actions

Edit: Just tested it, doesn't work, WHY? :(

i made a trigger that works:

CarrierUnitGroup: You add all trained carriers into this unit group
GoldUnitGroup: You add all trained Gold Gatherers into this unit group
TempUnit and TempUnit2: are unit variables
TempPoint and TempPoint2: are point variables
Custom Values: when a gatherer has gold, then set its custom value to 50

Code: 
check range
    Events
        Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in CarrierUnitGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set TempUnit = (Picked unit)
                Set TempPoint = (Position of TempUnit)
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in GoldUnitGroup and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Set TempUnit2 = (Picked unit)
                        Set TempPoint2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Distance between TempPoint and TempPoint2) Less than or equal to 256.00
                                (Custom value of TempUnit2) Equal to 50
                            Then - Actions
                                ----- Your actions: Give Gold, maybe Floating Text above unit, whatever -----
                                Unit - Set the custom value of TempUnit2 to 100
                            Else - Actions
                        Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint2)
                Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

yea, think that one should work now! ;)

Just a quick question before trying that Trigger.

Why did you do this condition:

Code: 
(Custom value of TempUnit2) Equal to 50

And why this action:

Code: 
Unit - Set the custom value of TempUnit2 to 100

look in the description above:

every time a peasant would have gathered gold, then you set its custom value to 50 (or whatever other number, 50 was random)

if he delievered the gold, you set its custom value to any other number but 50 (i have choosen 100 because its the editor-standart) so you get gold only once. you can set the custom value to 50 again, if he gathered gold again. :)

note: in the sample map i made it - for testing issues - that you can set the custom value by a chat command ;)

oh forgot to enter the condition that its the same player... (just enter "Owner of TempUnit = Owner of TempUnit2" as condition right below (custom value equal to....) in the inner if-then-else ;)

Ok I did a little testing and found out that the bolded line doesn't work.

Code: 
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        [B]Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability[/B]
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Mine (Stone & Gold) 
    Actions
        Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to GathererGroup
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: done num1

The ability is just like harvest gold and lumber I just changed the name, what's wrong?

well, as far as i know the gathering button triggers an order not an ability ;)

so i think you would need a trigger with issue-order... so... something like that below... but im not 100% sure though...


Code: 
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    Conditions
        (Issued order) Equal to Harvest
    Actions

and btw: in case you want use that with my previous trigger... add the units to the unit group "Gatherer Group" when they are trained... and change the custom value to 50 when they have gold. :)

Yup. :)

Now just to be sure 100% that I didn't manage to destroy everything again here is the new Trigger, tell me if it's good/bad :D

Code: 
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Mine (Stone & Gold) 
    Actions
        Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to GathererGroup
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: done num1

lol it took 4 pages to get the answer ^^.

                                Unit - Set the custom value of GoldUnit to 2
                                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_ResourcesWagonPoint)
                                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_GathererPoint)
                            Else - Actions

I give up.... Unless someone can tell me why it doesn't work....

> Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_GathererPoint)

This comes way too early.
It should happen once the inner loop is done.

And, what's the point of that custom value?
It's always 1 anyway.


Add an extra variable, of type player.
Set GoldPlayer = Owner of (Picked unit)
to be put near "Set GoldUnit =".

And replace the custom value test with
Owner of (GoldUnit2) equal to GoldPlayer


> Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object

Are you actually giving it an order?
I thought it should happen just from walking nearby?

Also, 75 is not much of a distance...

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
