Deceptively tricky trigger

[chunkamongus]

I have a trigger that works but it sometimes causes a memory leak and that c000005 error or whatever. If anyone can design a better trigger to remove the unit that constructs a structure right after he builds it I would be most greatful.

Please paste your current trigger here.

[Kryptonyte]

Code: Select all

Event - (Generic unit event)
Unit - A unit Finishes construction

Actions - (Unit - Remove)
Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

Yeah... then add any conditions you want...
Or, for a less leaky one (all GUI sucks)

use "Player-Owned Unit Event"...

[chunkamongus]

Current trigger is:
Events- Unit owned by player 1, player 2, player 3.... finishes construction
Action- Remove random unit from unit group within proximity of 125

The catch is the constructed structure is the triggering unit

[Kryptonyte]

Code: Select all

Unit - Remove (Constructed structure) from the game

Will remove the structure...

Code: Select all

Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

Will remove the unit that builds the structure...

BTW, instead of this...

"Events- Unit owned by player 1, player 2, player 3.... finishes construction"

Use "Generic unit event" and then add a condition for which players it is.

Code: Select all

Conditions - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)

And so on... or if they are in a group...

Code: Select all

(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Random player from (Player_Group))

Once again, when i put triggering unit it takes away the structure. Which is why this trigger is deceptively tricky

[Kryptonyte]

That's gay of WC3... anyways, here it is.

Variables needed: "Worker" (Unit), "Structure_Count" (Unit Group)
*Array them if using this trigger for more than one player.

Triggers needed:
(For ONE player)

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

Event
Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds

Actions
Set Worker = Builder 0001 <gen>

Code: Select all

Event
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Finishes construction

Actions
Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to Structure_Count

Code: Select all

Event
Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time

Actions
Unit - Remove Worker from the game
Set Worker = No unit
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

For more than one player (Example shows four players)

You sure that won't cause a memory leak?

[Kryptonyte]

You sure that won't cause a memory leak?

...You could just not use ANY triggers in your map, and you won't ever leak.

[chunkamongus]

huh?
