Unit orders with group leaders

I am creating a map in which individual units are not given their own orders, but instead recieve the same orders that leaders of their group are given. The "follower" units naturally have locust. So far I have something like this:

Code: 
Footman Captain
     Events
          Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
          Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
          Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
     Conditions
          (Unit type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Captain
     Actions
          Unit Group - Pick every unit in (units within 1000 of (position of ordered unit matching (((Owner of (Matching Unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Ordered Unit)) and (Unit type of (Matching Unit)) Equal to Footman)) and do Actions
          Loop
               <more actions go here>

Can someone fill in the blank for me?
I cant find out how to give the same order to the footmen near the captain
that the captain has because my only choices are to issue an order targeting a point/unit/destructible.

Is there a universal type of order?
 
Instead of using one generic trigger, use three seperate ones. One is "issued an order with no target", and then "Order (Picked unit) to (Issued order)", and so on for different types of orders.

(By the way, I highly suggest making a unit group variable that holds the followers. Trying to get all the units in range may not work for units with Locust.)
 
Well cut the events into 1 trigger each, that will allow you to use (Issue (Picked unit) to attack-move to (Target point of issued order) etc. Maybe there is a (Ordered order) or something for the attack-move lol
 
i am doing something similar to that cept they attack ect but not locust but may i ask.... what kind of triggers did you use for follow? because wouldnt that trigger make them attack but then how do they go back and follow again?
 
i got it now... but think someone could help me with a thing... sorry about posting this in ur thread but since im doing something very close to what ur doing.... ive been trying to make it either so i myself the owner of hero cannot select the minions but thats not really what i want, because theres abilities on each minion i want to be able to use just you can not move the minion but it moves when you do which i already did.
 
Well you could make lots of unit arrays, say you have 10 per hero, array size of 10, 5 heros, array size 50. Then to get the different ones just add 10 for 2, 20 3 etc so it gets the right ones, and order them to a specific point around the unit. If its attack move they will attack even when the hero leaves so you may also need a distance check, if its greater than say 500 then order to right-click etc etc etc
 
ive encountered more problems... the follower units dont seem to be following correctly anymore. My current trigger looks like this:

Code: 
Events:
     Unit- A unit is issued an order targeting a point
Conditions:
     Unit type of Ordered unit Equal To captain
Actions:
     Pick every unit in (units within range of (ordered unit)) matching condition ((unit type of matching unit Equal To Footman) and (owner of (matching unit) Equal to (owner of ordered unit))) and do add picked unit to CurrentGroup
If (Issued order Equal to move) then do unit group order CurrentGroup to Move To (target point of issued order) else do nothing

I cant understand precisely why this doesnt work... it just doesnt
 
It looks like you typed that out... Unless you didnt capitalize the C on Captain :rolleyes:. Whats the range that you pick the units from? It doesnt show. You may want to store the point as a variable and test, not sure if thats the problem but 'triggering points' have made problems for me, losing thier point and resetting to center of the map after a few actions and stuff... Just some ideas
 
If you are right-clicking on the map to move, the order will be "smart", not "move".
 
I defined "range" to be a variable equal to 1000.00, and have previously tried storing the "target point of issued order" as a point variable right before assigning the units to the group and using "Order Current group to move to Point", but to no avail. I have also tried ordering the group to follow the Captain unsuccessfully.

Any other thoughts?

    Mayo also has vinegar. Vinegar is a very important part of it, it's effectively a delivery method FOR vinegar but hidden

    It's a neat ingredient. But yeah it's eggs. But a LOT of people think eggs count as dairy because of the fucking food pyramid the US keeps trying to make a thing
  • Varine Varine:
    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.

    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense

    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
