don't i need a region for this ? and what team do i set the footmans ?
Can i make it so it won't work for player 7 and 8 ?

You could give "unit - make rescuable", along with a range, a try.


Alternatively, give them to an otherwise unused player that is an enemy to your players,
wait for a unit to be attacked by that player, then change the attacking unit's owner to the attacked unit's owner.

that's the idea..7 and 8 are already used by the computer..i can't "sacrifice" another slot..already "sacrificed" 2..so any other ideas?

 

[AlExAlExAlEx]

/bumpy

 

[Dirac]

Use neutral passive. Do what AceHart tells as well

 

[AlExAlExAlEx]

Alright , i set'd them on the map but now how to give them "Unit - Make rescuable" ?

 

[Vaius]

Trigger, something like this:

Make Footman Rescuable
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.10 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Make Footman 0000 <gen> Rescuable

 

[AlExAlExAlEx]

oh , while placing the footmans..i have a little problem..i don't know how to spawn them as Netrual passive , and not to a player it has been asked again but this search dose'nt work propely >.>(or i don't know how to use it)

 

[Azlier]

Preplaced? Well, select them all, and press enter. If you can't go forward from there, I suggest we abandon all hope.

 

[Vaius]

Or, if you're placing them, on the unit palette, there is a scroll box where you can choose what player the unit will belong to, at the bottom is Neutral Hostile, Neutral Passive, and Items.

 

[Azlier]

You can't choose units that are for the four 'normal' races that way. I don't know why Blizzard did it like that...

 

[AlExAlExAlEx]

yeah that's the idea..how to set "normal" units like footmans as neutral passive ? i did it once..but i forgot

 

[Azlier]

Sigh. Place them, select them, hit enter, edit owning player. Is it really that difficult?

 

[Vaius]

Apparently.

 

[AlExAlExAlEx]

Trigger, something like this:

Make Footman Rescuable
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.10 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Make Footman 0000 <gen> Rescuable

If i'l do like that , i'l have to select all the footmans one by one..and they are around 50..is'nt some kind of function like this "All footmans..from playable area" ?

 

[Azlier]

...?

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to (==) Footman)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

 

[AlExAlExAlEx]

• Footy Trigger
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.10 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman)) and do (Unit - Make (Random unit from (Last created unit group)) Rescuable by (All players))

Will this work ?
