I'm trying to check if there is a unit in a region, but what I have isn't working for some reason.

Here is what I have right now:

General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If ((Unit(Any Unit)) is in P1Nexus) = True Then UI - Display "There are units in P1 Nexus" for (All players) to Subtitle area Else

It never displays there is a unit in that region and there really is a unit in that region.

@Demon4231: Go

You don't got any event? add periodic event or remove condition and add event ''Unit enters region''.

In the same trigger it spawns the unit in that region, if a player chooses to spawn in that region. The event is "Map Initialization".

Use this condition ''((Picked unit) is in Region) == True'' and add ''pick each unit'' action before it.

I couldn't get it to work the way you explained so I just made a variable that gets set to 1 if a player spawns in that location.

If you want to check whether a region contains any units, id recommend doing it like this:

(Number of Living units in (Any units in (<Your Region>) owned by player Any Player matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most 1)) > 0

This is something that s fairly important and yet also quite unusual. ANY UNIT is NOT just saying "any unit in there region". Any unit is a very specific variable that (afaik) only works when you have a unit variable assigned to any unit. Count the number of units in a group instead.

If number of units in unit group (units in (your region)) > 0

you could try adding the check if somethings in the nexus to the conditions spot so it will check conditions before the events
