'Unit within range' is not working

[Enzyte]

Hello again!

I'm trying to update my map with some events. This should happen;
A player (my friend or me) goes near to the ghost and the ghosts says a message displayed to all players.
Here is my code:

• Events:
  • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Kel'Thuzad (Ghost) 0220 <gen>
  • Conditions:
  • ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions:
  • Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text: Kel'Thuzad's spirit...

However when I move within range nothing is happening. I've tryied it without conditions, it worked but sadly it'll trigger from wandering monsters =/

Try triggering unit instead of entering unit.
The Event says in the description:

Use 'Event Response - Triggering Unit' to refer to the unit that is entering within range.

The Event says in the description:

Yea I've tried that as well, it's not working

Works for me.

You could post your triggers here, maybe there is some other kind of problem.

I'm starting to think my character is not count as a 'hero'. Is that possible? Which trigger should I post here?

The one with the event "unit comes within range".
Here, have a look at this attached test map:

 

[Enzyte]

I have that trigger in my first post. That's the only one.

 

[Accname]

You tried the map? The trigger there is very simple.

Yes, I did, however I have the exact same trigger and it's not working...

 

[Accname]

Post the trigger again, copy it as text. Or upload the map if you dont mind.

• Trigger eCathedral
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Kel'Thuzad (Ghost) 0220 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text: Kel'Thuzad's spirit...

 

[Accname]

Hm, yes. This looks correct.

 

[Enzyte]

Maybe there is a problem with the character selection;

• Trigger Select Commander
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Commander Selection <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) Equal to Selector
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Commander for (Owner of (Entering unit)) at (Center of Summon Hero <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Remove (Entering unit) from the game
    • Unit - Remove Commander 0062 <gen> from the game
    • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Entering unit)) to (Center of Summon Hero <gen>) over 1.00 seconds
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: A player has chosen...

So basically I have Selectors and when you move into the circle you choose your character. This one is the trigger for select the Commander. Yet there are 3 more circles with 3 different characters.

Has nothing to do with it.
Are you sure your unit is a hero? (Does it have an experience bar and attributes?)

Oh... damn. Nope... You can't level up or gain attributes in this map. It's a survival thingie. Soo that's what I thought before. So how can I fix it in the easiest way? I still don't want to add the XP bar. Is it enough if I add +1 allstat to my characters? Or something like that.

 

[Accname]

Not at all.
Best way would be to store them in a unit array at the position of their owners ID.

Could you explain this please?

 

[Accname]

Look at this example map, I changed the one from before slightly.

Only the footman will trigger the message.

Thank you for all your reply but since I'm really bad at creating and understanding variables, I've created an alternative:

• Trigger eCathedral
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Kel'Thuzad (Ghost) 0220 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) or ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue))
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text: Kel'Thuzad's spirit...
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Probably it looks retarderd for some people, but it works just fine for me
