Hi, i have this trigger which activates when a unit enters a certain area, there are multiple areas actually under the events, so a unit enters any of these areas, and it should start the actoins. But the game just crashes instead. It doesn't even get to the first action, which i set to disaplay a text message. The trigger has two local variables, and one condition (owner of triggering unit != 15). I thought maybe its because i have multiple areas but i also have another trigger which is defined exactly the same way, just the action are a little different, and that works fine. Any ideas?

I'm not good with crashes (can't hurt to have a look though), but you really have to give more information about the problem for people to be able to help (assuming it's not a widely known bug in the editor or something)

Copy the trigger (rightclick, copy as text) and maybe include a screenshot of the triggering areas. Anything relating to the trigger helps.

Multiple events are no problem, they are basically treated as separate triggers. One of the events occur, trigger fires.

You can't use "Triggering Unit" in an event, because it is not defined there. You have to use "Any Unit enters" instead. This event defines the "Triggering Unit", so you can refer to it in the "Conditions" and "Actions" sections.

Nope that didn't work, and btw triggering unit does work though. I've used it for all my other events and they work.

Triggering unit works in events? By definition, the trigger has not triggered yet, so there should be no triggering unit to recall. Could it be using an old trigger's triggering unit? I guess the triggering unit could be already defined since something has entered the region. But you should really use "Any Unit" or something else.

Other than that, I can't find anything that should crash the game. Usually you'll just get an error message (red text on the left side of the screen)

If you paste your triggers and other things in [ code] [ /code] tags (without the spaces), it's a bit easier to read. But either way works.

sigh.. alright thanks for the input

im an idiot.... in one of the functions that gets called purpose is to spawn unit periodically, i forgot a wait statement at the end, and it was trying to spawn infinite amount of units at the same time...sorry to bother u guys
