Condition to check if units are in the same group?

streetpunk · Mar 15, 2017

is there a condition to check if units are in the same group?

example: a unit comes whithin (acquisition range) of another unit -> if units are in the same group order unit 1 to follow unit 2. else -> if units is not in the same group order unit 1 to attack unit 2 and unit 2 to attack unit 1

You can check if a unit is in a unit group. If both of them are in unit group A, both are in the same group. Is this what you meant?

yeah, but something like "unit 1 is in unit group of unit 2 equal to true" something to refer the unit group of an unit.

Jampion · Mar 15, 2017

since a unit can be in multiple unit group there is no "unit group of unit". You would need to check for every unit group you are using. But if in your case every unit is only in one group, you could store for each unit the number of the group it is in.

something like a integer with custom value of unit array?

Integer[Custom value of unit] = 1 (this means it's in group 1)

If Integer[Custom value of unit] not equal to Integer[Custom value of unit2] then order unit 1 to attack unit 2 and unit 2 to attack unit 1

If you are using a unit-indexer, yes.

Why is there a need for unit indexer?

Jampion · Mar 15, 2017

The custom value must be unique for every unit (then you can store a value for each unit). The unit-indexer gives each unit a unique custom value.

streetpunk · Mar 15, 2017

doesn't the "custom value of unit" function already do that ?

IcemanBo · Mar 15, 2017

No, it returns always "0" by default.

There are functions to set, and to get the "Custom Value" of a unit. And a unit indexer is a system that properly sets a unique custom value for each unit, so you may use it when you get it.

streetpunk · Mar 16, 2017

All right, I've implemented the unit indexer and now custom value works fine.
At the moment I have the following triggers working properly:
In this case we have 3 groups and 2 factions: Group 1 belong to Faction 1 while Group 2 and Group 3 belongs to Faction2. My aim is to make different unit groups interact between them as enemies and allies so we won't have to use a player slot for every faction we want to have in our maps. For example my map has 5 cities, if I needed to use every city as an individual faction we would need to use 5 player slots.
