What could be the loopholes of this trigger?

This trigger has caused a unit to not be invulnerable in town. It has only been a shape-shifting druid with the Robo-form ability, though its possible it could work with other heroes too.

Code:
Town Invulnerable
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Rogue Encampmenet <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Invulnerable

Code:
Town Leave Uninvulnerable
    Events
        Unit - A unit leaves Rogue Encampmenet <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Make (Triggering unit) Vulnerable

Just add a condition: (Entering Unit) is Equal to (Triggering Player) i think.
and other one for leaving: (Leaving Unit) is Equal to (Triggering Player)

I dont have my we on atm, but i think this should work.

Units can't be players. That won't work.

> No, there isn't...

With any luck, there actually is one. The owner of the unit that triggered the event.

Anyway, what that condition could possibly be good for is beyond me.

As a general recommendation, I'd suggest to simply ignore replies by Blackout...


Now, why isn't it working...
Tried adding some "game - display" to the triggers to see if the work or not and when?

You don't believe me?

Then go on WE, then go to Triggers (F4)

then make a condition (dont make it, just see)
and look for Player Color Comparison
and click "Color of Player 1" and then click player 1, and and under the function, there's Event Response - Triggering Player

And you'll know it.

Triggering player refer to event that are being activate by player while triggering unit refer to event that are being activate by unit.

Event that are usually activate by triggering player would be like

Event - Player 1 select a unit

Event that are usually activate by unit would be like

Unit - A unit enters Region 0000<gen>

And yes, there is a triggering player function.

Well, let's not go off topic.

The reason why the trigger had loophole could be possibly cause by 2 reason.

1st, at the beginning of the game. The unit is already inside the region. The trigger you set only work for the unit that start to entering the region, not those unit that already inside the region.

2nd, this loophole could possibly happen when 2 unit enter the region at the same time.

I think he meant that Triggering Player doesn't work in response to the unit event (and AceHart just shot that down :p), as opposed to whether Triggering Player exists in WE or not.

2nd, this loophole could possibly happen when 2 unit enter the region at the same time.

Fat chance of that happening. You try moving two units into a region so that they both enter the region at the precise time (and, even if you did do that, I doubt it would change anything since Triggering Unit is too awesome to be beaten that easily)

Well #1 is check off and doesn't apply to my map. The #2 situation seems realistic to me. I'd like to add that I also have a revive system in my map that revives heroes.

How should I solve this problem?

The triggering engine may have its dumb moments, but it has no problems with simultaneous events...

    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
