Subject. How to find out what group of players a player sent a message to, if at all possible?

Game - Player Any Player types a chat message containing "", matching Partially

I have a custom chat and I only want to display the message to the allied players whenever somebody types into the [Allied] chat.

@Quelex: Go Use "Order Targeting Unit", not point.

For unit that you need to target you can make a variable:

    Events

        Unit - (Last created unit) uses Probe - Gather at Generic1 - Any stage (Ignore shared abilities)

    Local Variables

    Conditions

       
    Actions

        Variable - Set Target = (Triggering ability target unit)

Yeah, It was event

Unit Birth

Huge thanks, guys!

Quote from Hobrow: Go

Did you try to attach something to it?

Quote from Kueken531: Go

Then you probably added an actor message like this to an actor of yours:
Unit Birth
create

This creates this particular actor at every single unit. The sphere is an indicator, that said actor uses no or an invalid model.

Ok, thanks for a fast answer, I'll try to find this event.

@Hobrow: Go

Marauders actor is default! I didn't change anything.

I really don't know what happened... All of my unit's actors are messed up.

Here're errors that I get when i place a unit
[8/17/2011 12:43:46 AM] Warning: Got NULL model when trying to set CModel[].
[8/17/2011 12:43:49 AM] Warning: More than one CActorUnit persisting in the same unit scope:

And here's screenshot

Does anybody knows what happened and how to solve that?

Ok, nvm problem is solved

@peranzormal: Go

Oops, I described it not properly. I meant I want them to attack it a bit onwards from unit, outside the model.

About radius: I found that unit doesn't use its radius at all if it has a footprint. I would like to delete the footprint, but if buildings use its radius, it messes up paths for units.

I was wondering if attack range is a distance between center of an attacked unit and attacking unit, or is it between some unit's radius/footprint and attacking unit. If so, how to change "vulnerable" radius?
For example: I have a building with 2x2 footprint, and I don't want melee units to attack it straight in the actor(model), but to attack it a bit onwards. And I don't want to expand footprint.

Hope you understand the idea. Thanks.

@Hobrow: Go

Thanks a lot!

                            Then
                                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to ( Attack targeting (Closest unit to (Position of (Picked unit)) in Survivors)) (Replace Existing Orders)
                                UI - Display "a" for (All players) to Subtitle area

Doesn't start even though

                        UI - Display (Text((Pathing cost for unit (Picked unit) to point (Position of (Closest unit to (Position of (Picked unit)) in Barricades)), considering buildings of type Include All Buildings))) for (All players) to Subtitle area

shows -1. :O

What's wrong with that?

Thanks in advance.

Try an if/then/else action ;)

thanks!

Ok, I solved a problem, but now i stuck with another problem.

attackifpossible
    Events
        Timer - Every 0.1 seconds of Game Time
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Pathing cost for unit (Picked unit) to point (Position of (Closest unit to (Position of (Triggering unit)) in Survivors)), considering buildings of type Ignore Enemy Buildings) != -1
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick each unit in ursadakGroup and do (Actions)
            Actions
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to ( Attack targeting (Closest unit to (Position of (Triggering unit)) in Survivors)) (Replace Existing Orders)

It shows an error because of "picked unit" in condition. Can I somehow apply a condition to a loop?

I figured it out. So, if I block the path FULLY then it'll show 65536. But if there is a small space (to small for this units to walk through) It will count like a path fot them.

Fully blocked (65536)

Not fully blocked (<65536)

Any ideas how to deal with that? I need this space for smaller units.

Ok, rad a thread that littlefury916 showed. As I understand (correct me if i'm wrong) if unit's way is blocked somehow then pathing cost between unit and point will be 65536. So I made a trigger:

gogoattack
    Events
        Timer - Every 0.1 seconds of Game Time
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Pathing cost between (Position of (Picked unit)) and (Position of (Closest unit to (Position of (Picked unit)) in Survivors))) != 65536
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick each unit in ursadakGroup and do (Actions)
            Actions
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to ( Attack targeting (Closest unit to (Position of (Picked unit)) in Survivors)) (Replace Existing Orders)

and

gogoattack 2
    Events
        Timer - Every 0.1 seconds of Game Time
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Pathing cost between (Position of (Picked unit)) and (Position of (Closest unit to (Position of (Picked unit)) in Survivors))) == 65536
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick each unit in ursadakGroup and do (Actions)
            Actions
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to ( Attack targeting (Closest unit to (Position of (Picked unit)) in (Units in (Entire map) having alliance Enemy with player 15 matching Excluded: Missile, Dead, Hidden, with at most Any Amount))) (Replace Existing Orders)

But 2nd event desn't fire because pathing cost is less than 65536 even if way is blocked.

About blockers:

Building that I use to block doesn't have its own pathing footprint. I spawn a pathing blocker on top of it using trigger. Pathing blocker has both 2x2 footprints, so i think everything is ok with those.

So what did I do wrong?
