I want to make it so any unit I have selected in a region is moved instantly to a point when I type "dock"

@Trieva: Go

i have a mothership unit with a region on it but i don't want it and everthing around it to teleport to the point which is inside the mothership(another part of the map)

@Trieva: Go

i got the mothership from teleporting inside itself but i can't figure out how to set it to when i type dock

@Trieva: Go

ok what ever I'm doing wrong is probably easy to fix but i don't see it. i have a trigger now that says.

When Player 1 types dock

• run trigger enter ship

enter ship trigger;

events

• any unit highlighted by player 1

conditions

• triggering unit is in region x == true

actions

• unit order triggering unit to hold position
• unit move triggering unit instantly to point x no blend

Triggering unit absolutely won't work in this case, and I think you might need to use a global unit group given your specifications. You want this to happen when you type dock, but only selected units. So what you will want to do is set a trigger up to clear out a unit group and add all selected units to that unit group any time a unit for that player is selected. Then when you use your dock command, just do a pick each unit in unit group in your trigger, and if that unit is in the appropriate region, move picked unit to desired location.

I can't figure out how to make a unit group. I know how to add them to the group but there's no groups for them to be added to.

EDIT: i got the unit group created now but i don't have the option to add units to it

@Trieva: Go

yeah i have that selected but theres no unit groups for them to be added to. and i know the unit groups exist

@dmenmonster: Go

Hey just in case 'Global Unit Group' threw you off, I just mean a unit group variable that doesn't exist inside a function, trigger, or action definition. Should be right up there on the same level as triggers, not inside of them. As for adding, will want to use THIS function:

Then you will want to use said function like this:

With p just being a variable for that particular player. Then you can just add these to said unit group.

Although after looking at that function, you don't actually need to do that, you can just pick each unit in unit group selected units for player p whenever dock is typed, then if picked unit is in desired region, dock them. But is good to know how to do both in my opinion, unit groups are very useful used right. You should have everything you need to make this happen now, I hope the editor lets you do it without too many issues!

@Deadzergling: Go

ok I found that but I'm still getting errors. it says it can't find the units. This is my first time using the editor to make triggers like this.

EDIT: if someone wants to do voice chat/screen share through google hangouts to help a bit quicker.

@LucidIguana: Go

yeah ill post it. my triggers arnt to organized

@LucidIguana: Go

its up now

@LucidIguana: Go

lol it up now

@dmenmonster: Go

Organize your triggers based on Blizzard maps. I found this helpful for keeping my head in the game!

@LucidIguana: Go

i just went through the trouble of getting it approved -_-

@LucidIguana: Go

but only if those units were in region 009 (around the ship)i think thats were i was getting stuck mainly

EDIT: I GOT IT thanks everyone
