ofc creating from scratch is always better but also very time consuming ;]

Hey, so to me it sppears that 2 different units are using the same actor, look at the actor and see in the list the units it has connection to, right click on the one you dont want and explain link. Now you can see how this original unit is still being used by the actor, its prolly in the events.

in the future it might be helpfull to duplicate the actor instead of copy, use to have the same kind of problems when i started.

maybe this helps maybe it don´t,

good luck

I see its your first post, not a very friendly introduction but i might be able to help you out. A while ago i needed a refund trigger and made this small trigger that refunds 0.75 of the units original cost. What i thought you could do is for every upgrade you do on this structure, add to the cost of that unit with the same amount that the upgrade cost. So what to do:

• Copy and adjust the trigger to your needs.
• Make an instant effect ability and add it to the event of the trigger and the units commandcard.
• For each upgrade on the unit you need to apply an effect that increases the cost of the unit by the amount of the upgrade cost.

This method will only work if the player has only 1 unit of this specific unit type and if you also want other players to also have this structure you must copy it and make a new one for each player.

I assume you want more units of this type for a single player so this means whenever a player has the unit with upgrades and wants to make a new one, the cost has increased.... I couldn't think of any other way, im not a pro so there is prolly a better way., but maybe this will lead you to ideas.

Refund
    Events
        Unit - Any Unit uses  Salvage at Generic3 - Execute stage (Ignore shared abilities)
    Local Variables
        constant = 0.75 <Real>
        StructureCost = 0.0 <Real>
        Refund = 0.0 <Real>
    Actions
        Variable - Set StructureCost = (Integer((Real((Minerals cost of (Unit type of (Triggering unit)))))))
        Variable - Set Refund = (constant * StructureCost)
        Player - Modify player (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Minerals: Add (Integer(Refund))
        Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)

i never made a toggle ability, but i was thinking if this doent work you could also do it with a requirement right, if the behavior is on restrict the button, when its off allow it.

@Wampsie: Go

I think your problem is not having the lobby decide which players are on which team and share ally.

you put players in playergroup team1 but this is not actually team 1 accoording to the lobby slots.

so lets say lobby gets player 3 and 4 in team 1 and then you put player 3 and 4 in your game as team 2

and with setting the victory your refer to the team1 you have created but not actually team 1 from the lobby, see how this becomes messy/

....

@Wampsie: Go

hmm taking a look at the screens

@Wampsie: Go

yes

@DarkRevenantX: Go

The response is fine but i always get stuck to where i have to load actor events.

i also hate that when i type a new search, when i type the first letter it alrdy is creating the whole list with acotrs/units which im not trying to search.

Is there a way to only make it create a list when i have pressed enter?

@Wampsie: Go

Make 2 global unit groups then after the units are created on the map run this(make sure you give heroes on your map heroic attribute):

    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Any units in (Entire map) owned by player Any Player matching Required: Heroic; Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) and do (Actions)
            Actions
                General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
                    If
                        ((Owner of (Picked unit)) is in (Players on team 1)) == True
                    Then
                        Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to HeroesTeam1
                    Else
                        Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to HeroesTeam2

You'll prolly have to do this with dialogs, so i suggest taking some dialog tutorials, i remember there being some dialog tutorials about hpbars.

@Wampsie: Go

Hey, you could store the units per team in a unit group and do something like this:

    Events
        Unit - Any Unit dies
    Conditions
        ((Unit type of (Triggering unit)) has Heroic attribute) == True
    Actions
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (All units in HeroesTeam2 are dead) == True
            Then
                Player Group - Pick each player in (Players on team 1) and do (Actions)
                    Actions
                        Game - End game in Victory for player (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show score screen)
                Player Group - Pick each player in (Players on team 2) and do (Actions)
                    Actions
                        Game - End game in Defeat for player (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show score screen)
        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                (All units in HeroesTeam1 are dead) == True
            Then
                Player Group - Pick each player in (Players on team 2) and do (Actions)
                    Actions
                        Game - End game in Victory for player (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show score screen)
                Player Group - Pick each player in (Players on team 1) and do (Actions)
                    Actions
                        Game - End game in Defeat for player (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show score screen)
