I'm very new to SC2 Editor and am floundering something chronic. I have managed a number of triggers, such as gates & unit spawning etc, but can't for the life of me figure out how to make an explosion occur in a region when a building is destroyed.
In essence I currently have 1 unit spawn every 5 seconds of game time at a random location within a region while a specific Command Centre is alive (This works).
When the CC is destroyed I want it create a large explosion at its location (or a point or region) to damage surrounding units or kill them (or frankly anything that kills things in a region). I have tried;
- Spawning "Large" explosions at and around the location (which works however no unit damage, just a visual)
- Causing a nuclear explosion with a spawned ghost. (didn't work)
- Spawning exploding banelings at location (Didn't work)
- Spawning 25 fireworks at location (also didn't work, was just trying to get something to show up)
I would use a Unit Dies event with a condition that the unit type is your command center. I would then have a For Each Unit In Unit Group loop that uses a Damage Unit (From Unit) action that deals damage to variable X (from the loop) Unit From Unit Group with the group being a Units In Region Matching Condition where the region is a Convert Circle To Region centered on the Position Of Unit.
Alternatively just use a Create Effect At Point (From Player) action that uses a Damage effect with a search area.
Personally I would just give your structure a Buff behaviour with a death response that does a Damage effect with a search area.

I'll give this a shot, in the mean time i added a number of points around the area that my building is in and used the "upon unit death create units" and spawned a rather large number of hostile burrowed spider mines.. seems to do the trick for now :)
Cheers
