I NEED HELP WITH UNIT VARIABLES AND SELECTING A BUILDING!!!!

I NEED HELP WITH UNIT VARIABLES AND SELECTING A BUILDING!!!!

If I (using a action) set the value of a unit variable to a building, how do I select that building in another trigger, for example if a use a specific unit event and try and use that unit variable alla that comes up are pre-placed units. I tried usuing 'a unit finishes training a unit' event but that only lets me slect the trained unit how do I manipulate the building if it is not preplaced and how do I manipulate only units that that building produces?

dude that makes like no sense make it simpler... the way i see it u need it so when u add a unit (building) to a variable how do u select if (if it was created/spawned and not pre-placed)

event- Unit finishes construction

conditions...

action-
Add (constrcted structure) to [unit group variable] or if u want just a unit variable...
Set [unit variable] = (constructed structure)

when using another trigger to use that unit when u choose to pick a unit... instead of going to (select unit) select the variable in the white box...

if that wasnt what u wanted be more specific... we arent the one in the situation so its pretty confusing saying things when you dont say them in order -.=

thanks

thats not exactly what I was meaning I mean, that if I cast an ability on a building how do I select the units it trains only and only when it trains them and not when the ability is cast. I guess I was a bit unclear, but I think I found the solution, i'll check it out

its still unclear... u mean like casting unit upgrade ability on a barracks to have it make super footmen or something?...

anyway just make it

Event-
Unit finishes casting an ability

Conditions-
Casting unit equal to (the caster)
_Targeted unit equal to building_ (not sure what condition that would be)

Actions- Add (_targeted unit_) to (effected building [unit group] variable)

that will make it so u can use other triggers using the units effected by the ability casted on the building... or something,

example:

Event:
Unit finished training

Conditions:
_training unit (??? again)_ equal to (unit in (effected building...group))

Actions:
Do whatever u want to the units here

this is all off my head so u gotta look for the _blanks_

Sorry

yeah I guess it is, basically all I want to know is if I can use variables in an event, e.g. variable 'unit' dies.

or do I have to stick with prelaced and generic events?

No, you can't. Use "Generic Event" for this and refer to it via condition (unit comparison), as said above.

thanks

okay, but how do I refer to the unit that trains the unit
event
e.g. a unit finishes training a unit

condition
------ is equal to 'variable' (unit comparison)

so what do I fill in to refer to the unit that finishes training the unit, or can somebody teach me a jass script that'll do that for me.

Hm, dunno atm, but I think this time you need to put it "triggering unit" b/c there doesn't exist a specific comparison for this (like "training unit" or else).

hmmm... triggering unit? I don't know it would make my life a lot easier, if it was I'll check it out.
