So this trigger works correctly, but I want to add another condition that I can't get to work. I need a condition to check to see if the nuke is targeting a building that the player owns or a unit/group of units.
I've tried "(Ghost - Tac Nuke Strike targeting (Position of Command Building[1])) == (Triggering order)" but this doesn't work.
Anyone know how to make it check to see if the nuke is targeting a building that the player owns or a unit/group of units?
I'm trying to figure out how to make a trigger say:
Pick unit from workers.
If picked unit doesn't have mineral and not building a building/on the way to build a building
then
issue order to build new building X
So far, the only thing I can figure out is:
Unit Group - Pick each unit in Builders[1] and do (Actions)
Actions
General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
If
((Picked unit) has Carry Mineral Field Minerals) == false
Anyone know how to add a condition that says unit is not currently building a building or on the way to build one?
Also, I still don't know how the "AI Advanced - Enable Optimizing Gas Harvesters for player 2" actually works.
Honestly, I can't get any of these to work:

AI Advanced - Enable Repairing Damaged Buildings Early in a Game for player 2
AI Advanced - Enable Repairing Damaged Buildings Later in a Game for player 2
AI Advanced - Enable Usege of Melee Game Target Priorities for player 2
"AI Advanced - Enable Defending with Peons for player 2" is the only one that I've got to work. The rest.... They don't work
Update:
From what I can tell, "AI Advanced - Enable Optimizing Gas Harvesters for player 2" makes the computer be retarded about getting gas. Like trying to send 4+ guys on the geyser. I even watched it send 8.... Suggest to not use this and issue orders threw a trigger system.

Someone should seriously post this in the tutorial section under AI to help players out cause it was a serious pain in the you know what to get this to work. If needed I can write up a tutorial post.

I don't know, maybe I did something wrong here? I honestly think you just can't use the "pick units" function insides a "pick each integer" function.
It's for an AI. I'm trying to figure out how to setup a trigger that checks every X amount of seconds if refinery X has 3 workers and if not, send them there.
How do you make "AI Advanced - Enable Optimizing Gas Harvesters for player 2" work?
When the computer has just one base, it always makes sure that it has 3 workers mining gas, but when you expand and build another "town" the computer stops regulating gas. At first I thought it was a matter of how many workers we're created, but that's not the case. I had the computer produce 60 scv's and it stopped caring about gas.
I've tried to manually issue order to the scv's telling them to gather the geyser as well as the refinery after it's built. They won't comply.
Also, I have added:
AI Advanced - Create a new town for player 2 at point (Center of Build Expansion).
AI Advanced - Start a new harvest job at town 0 for player 2.
AI Advanced - Town set stock for player 2 using town hall type Command Center and refinery type Refinery.
AI Advanced - Enables restocking which has the AI try to make the objects specified by AISetStock for player 2.
None of these work or change anything about harvesting gas. Can someone please help me with this?
AS is, it's pointless to continue with the AI script I'm making if the workers don't harvest gas.
That is good to know. I will have to play around with that. Too bad the trigger system is already created lol
Is there any way to do like use stim packs if X amount of enemy units are present? Like how I have setup in the trigger system?
Also, do you know how to enable the units to defend their town without have a trigger like this:
Building Attacked
Events
Unit - Any Unit is attacked
Local Variables
Conditions
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 2
((Triggering unit) is Required: Structure for player 2) == true
Actions
Unit - Order all units in Infantry[1] to ( Attack targeting (Position of (Triggering unit))) (Replace Existing Orders)
ALSO, how do you set targeting priorities? Like how do you make it so the army will target siege tanks 1st over any other units?
1st timing attack made by comp opponent. Comp has about 8 marines and 6 marauders with all tech lab upgrades and lv 1 weapons finishing by the time he hits you

This trig pretty much says if players army is half/equal to the size of the comp army, tell comp army units in that AREA to use stim packs, then wait for 15 seconds and re-enable the trigger

Idle Army

Unit - Any Unit Becomes idle

AI - Enable suicide for Attack Wave
AI - Send the attack wave from player 2 to attack in 0 seconds and Don't Wait
To disable the return rate/value where the army goes back to the starting location, you have to "enable suicide" for the attack wave. You can setup attack waypoints for the army to travel on, but without any, the AI automatically seeks out any opponent's unit, which is better I think. Also, you have to have "AI - Start the campaign AI for player 2" enabled before any of these triggers for this to work, I'm pretty sure, not 100% positive.
Ya dude the AI triggers are CONFUSING as hell. I'm playing around with them and learning a lot. It's weird how that got fixed. The only other problem I see now, is the units have a fall back point it looks like. Like if they are attacked, and you kite them, after moving a certain range they return to their original position.
In wc3 you could disable this. In here, I have no idea where. Do you know?

This trigger works flawlessly with the exception of one major problem.... The marines/marauders use the stim pack twice........ WHY? Help plz!!
I also tested out the stim ability on a unit just standing still and it looks like even if I tell a single unit to use stim's, he uses it twice.... I don't understand this.
Update:
It's the ability command... If I manually click on stims on one of my marines it only takes off 10 life. If I issue an order for my marine to use stims, it takes off 20 life... BUG?
Final Update:
Ok... For whatever reason. Going into the data editor and changing the amount of life cost then resetting it back fixed it........
Still need to know:
How do you make it so the comp will use abilities if they are researched? Like program the AI to use abilities not with a trigger like the one above.

Gas Collectors Events Unit - Any Unit is issued an order to SCV - Gather Local Variables Conditions Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (Target unit for (Triggering order)) == Refineries[1] Then Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from Builders[1] Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to Gas Collectors[1] ElseCheck Gas Collectors Events Timer - Every 1.0 seconds of Game Time Local Variables Conditions Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (Number of Living units in Gas Collectors[1]) > 3 Then Unit Group - Pick each unit in Gas Collectors[1] and do (Actions) Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (Unit 1 from Gas Collectors[1]) != (Picked unit) (Unit 2 from Gas Collectors[1]) != (Picked unit) (Unit 3 from Gas Collectors[1]) != (Picked unit) Then Unit - Order (Picked unit) to ( Stop) (Replace Existing Orders) Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Gas Collectors[1] Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Builders[1] Else Else Unit Group - Pick each unit in Gas Collectors[1] and do (Actions) Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (SCV - Gather (Picked unit)) != ((Picked unit) order(1)) ((Picked unit) has Carry Harvestable Vespene Geyser Gas) == false Then Unit - Order (Picked unit) to (SCV - Gather Refineries[1]) (Replace Existing Orders) ElseIdle Workers Events Unit - Any Unit Becomes idle Local Variables Conditions (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 2 Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If ((Triggering unit) has Carry Mineral Field Minerals) == true Then Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to (SCV - Return Cargo) (After Existing Orders) Else General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If Spare Boolean[2] == false Then Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to (SCV - Gather (Random Any unit from Minerals[0])) (After Existing Orders) Else Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to (SCV - Gather (Random Any unit from Minerals[1])) (After Existing Orders)Someone should seriously post this in the tutorial section under AI to help players out cause it was a serious pain in the you know what to get this to work. If needed I can write up a tutorial post.
What's dumb is I tried to turn this into an array and it doesn't work. Gives a "array overflow" message. The array trigger I made looks like this:
Check Gas Collectors 2 Events Timer - Every 5.0 seconds of Game Time Local Variables Total Unit Groups = 0 <Integer> Conditions Actions General - For each integer Total Unit Groups from 1 to 6 with increment 1, do (Actions) Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (Number of Living units in Gas Collectors[Total Unit Groups]) > 3 Then Unit Group - Pick each unit in Gas Collectors[Total Unit Groups] and do (Actions) Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (Unit 1 from Gas Collectors[Total Unit Groups]) != (Picked unit) (Unit 2 from Gas Collectors[Total Unit Groups]) != (Picked unit) (Unit 3 from Gas Collectors[Total Unit Groups]) != (Picked unit) Then Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Gas Collectors[Total Unit Groups] Unit - Order (Picked unit) to (SCV - Gather (Random Any unit from Minerals[Total Unit Groups])) (After Existing Orders) Else Else Unit Group - Pick each unit in Gas Collectors[Total Unit Groups] and do (Actions) Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (SCV - Gather (Picked unit)) != ((Picked unit) order(1)) ((Picked unit) has Carry Harvestable Vespene Geyser Gas) == false Then Unit - Order (Picked unit) to (SCV - Gather Refineries[Total Unit Groups]) (Replace Existing Orders) Else Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Any units in (Entire map) owned by player 2 matching Required: Worker, with at most 72) and do (Actions) Actions General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If ((Picked unit) is in Builders[Total Unit Groups]) == false ((Picked unit) is in Gas Collectors[Total Unit Groups]) == false Then Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Builders[Total Unit Groups] ElseI don't know, maybe I did something wrong here? I honestly think you just can't use the "pick units" function insides a "pick each integer" function.

It's for an AI. I'm trying to figure out how to setup a trigger that checks every X amount of seconds if refinery X has 3 workers and if not, send them there.
Or do something that makes the AI auto do this.

Really need to know how to do this. I can't figure it out

How do you make "AI Advanced - Enable Optimizing Gas Harvesters for player 2" work?
When the computer has just one base, it always makes sure that it has 3 workers mining gas, but when you expand and build another "town" the computer stops regulating gas. At first I thought it was a matter of how many workers we're created, but that's not the case. I had the computer produce 60 scv's and it stopped caring about gas.
I've tried to manually issue order to the scv's telling them to gather the geyser as well as the refinery after it's built. They won't comply.
Also, I have added:
AI Advanced - Create a new town for player 2 at point (Center of Build Expansion). AI Advanced - Start a new harvest job at town 0 for player 2. AI Advanced - Town set stock for player 2 using town hall type Command Center and refinery type Refinery. AI Advanced - Enables restocking which has the AI try to make the objects specified by AISetStock for player 2.None of these work or change anything about harvesting gas. Can someone please help me with this? AS is, it's pointless to continue with the AI script I'm making if the workers don't harvest gas.

@RileyStarcraft: Go
That is good to know. I will have to play around with that. Too bad the trigger system is already created lol
Is there any way to do like use stim packs if X amount of enemy units are present? Like how I have setup in the trigger system?
Also, do you know how to enable the units to defend their town without have a trigger like this:
Building Attacked Events Unit - Any Unit is attacked Local Variables Conditions (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 2 ((Triggering unit) is Required: Structure for player 2) == true Actions Unit - Order all units in Infantry[1] to ( Attack targeting (Position of (Triggering unit))) (Replace Existing Orders)ALSO, how do you set targeting priorities? Like how do you make it so the army will target siege tanks 1st over any other units?

Ha, ok got everything working flawlessly!
Ok so check this out:
1st timing attack made by comp opponent. Comp has about 8 marines and 6 marauders with all tech lab upgrades and lv 1 weapons finishing by the time he hits you
Setting up your attack wave:
First Attack Wave Events Timer - Attack Timer[1] expires Local Variables Conditions Actions Unit Group - Pick each unit in Infantry[1] and do (Actions) Actions Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Attack Wave Unit Group - Remove all units in Attack Wave from Infantry[1] AI - Add Attack Wave to the next attack wave for player 2 AI - Enable suicide for Attack Wave AI - Add an attack wave waypoint at Players Expansion for player 2 using Normal Mode AI - Add an attack wave waypoint at Players Ramp for player 2 using Normal Mode AI - Add an attack wave waypoint at Players Base for player 2 using Normal Mode UI - Display "First Attack Wave Setting Out" for (All players) to Subtitle area AI - Send the attack wave from player 2 to attack in 10 seconds and Wait Trigger - Turn Move Attackers OnComp Using Stim Packs:
Use Stims Events Unit - Any Unit is attacked Local Variables Conditions Use Abilities[1] == false (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 2 Or Conditions (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Marine (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Marauder Actions Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Any units in (Region((Position of (Attacking Unit)), 14.0)) owned by player Any Player matching Excluded: Structure, 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)) == 1 Then Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Player's Army Else General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (Number of Living units in Player's Army) >= ((Number of Living units in Attack Wave) / 2) ((Picked unit) is in (Region((Center of Player's Army), 14.0))) == true Then Variable - Set Use Abilities[1] = true Unit - Order (Picked unit) to (Marine - Use Stimpack) (Replace Existing Orders) General - Wait 15.0 Game Time seconds Variable - Set Use Abilities[1] = false ElseThis trig pretty much says if players army is half/equal to the size of the comp army, tell comp army units in that AREA to use stim packs, then wait for 15 seconds and re-enable the trigger
If army is IDLE:
Idle Army Events Unit - Any Unit Becomes idle Local Variables Conditions (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 2 ((Triggering unit) is in Attack Wave) == true Actions AI - Add Attack Wave to the next attack wave for player 2 AI - Enable suicide for Attack Wave AI - Send the attack wave from player 2 to attack in 0 seconds and Don't WaitTo disable the return rate/value where the army goes back to the starting location, you have to "enable suicide" for the attack wave. You can setup attack waypoints for the army to travel on, but without any, the AI automatically seeks out any opponent's unit, which is better I think. Also, you have to have "AI - Start the campaign AI for player 2" enabled before any of these triggers for this to work, I'm pretty sure, not 100% positive.

Ya dude the AI triggers are CONFUSING as hell. I'm playing around with them and learning a lot. It's weird how that got fixed. The only other problem I see now, is the units have a fall back point it looks like. Like if they are attacked, and you kite them, after moving a certain range they return to their original position.
In wc3 you could disable this. In here, I have no idea where. Do you know?

Ok, so I came up with a trigger, it says:
Use Stims Events Unit - Any Unit is attacked Local Variables Conditions Use Abilities[1] == false (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 2 Or Conditions (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Marine (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Marauder Actions Variable - Set Use Abilities[1] = true Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Any units in (Region((Position of (Attacking Unit)), 14.0)) owned by player 1 matching Excluded: Structure, Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount) and do (Actions) Actions Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Player's Army General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions) If (Number of Living units in Player's Army) >= ((Number of Living units in Attack Wave[1]) / 2) Then Unit - Order all units in Attack Wave[1] to (Marine - Use Stimpack) (Replace Existing Orders) General - Wait 10.0 Game Time seconds Variable - Set Use Abilities[1] = false ElseThis trigger works flawlessly with the exception of one major problem.... The marines/marauders use the stim pack twice........ WHY? Help plz!!
I also tested out the stim ability on a unit just standing still and it looks like even if I tell a single unit to use stim's, he uses it twice.... I don't understand this.
Update: It's the ability command... If I manually click on stims on one of my marines it only takes off 10 life. If I issue an order for my marine to use stims, it takes off 20 life... BUG?
Final Update: Ok... For whatever reason. Going into the data editor and changing the amount of life cost then resetting it back fixed it........
Still need to know:
How do you make it so the comp will use abilities if they are researched? Like program the AI to use abilities not with a trigger like the one above.
