OK, I've been working on this map for almost a year, and this is by far the single most confusing thing I've ever seen. Ever.
It goes something like this:
- The map is played like Footmen vs Grunts, where players can use a text-based system of commands to move units about the battlefield. "-send" orders military units to attack-move to the enemy base, "-back" orders them to retreat, and so on. I never really had a problem with them until I looked into trying to conserve as much energy as possible during high intensity combat situations. Before, the trigger looked something like this:
I realized I could save a lot of resources (prior to learning about memory leaks) by only having units that hadn't already received the order obey the trigger (units that had already been ordered to attack wouldn't stop to process the new (exact same) command). The trigger evolved into what it is now:
In a nutshell, every unit that was issued a command was added to a unit group. In the event that the same command was issued again, the units in the unit group corresponding to the command would ignore the new event, as displayed in the Conditions of the If/Then/Else.
This answer seemed to function, except that the system apparently didn't work. Units were not added to the unit group, but for some reason obey the command. In other words, the unit picked is not responding to "add picked unit to group" but does follow the "order picked unit to attack". I tested this by simply adding
Needless to say, all my units are still red and nothing gets selected. I'm curious as to what I'm doing wrong here.
