I want to detect when a player would morph his two HTs into an Archon.
I am currently using Unit Groups to determine the number of units left for a player. But when a player morphs his HTs, it kind of kills the system because the HT units are not removed from the Unit Group, and the Archon isn't added into it.

How do?

Woah

You should be able to detect when the merge ability is used in the Event of the trigger.

But what if the player cancels before it happens?

Run another trigger, but change the ability effect to cancel. There are lots of different point in the ability that you can detect, and I'm pretty sure you can detect when a player cancels as well.

Do you need to know when an archon is created, when the player merges two templar, or when the two templar merge together?



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Just detect that the morph ability is executed or the actor morphing starts...

Tinker with the event thing until you find one that works for the Archon merger.

NudeRaider -- The visuals are good, the animation is terrible: the movement is off, the impacts in battle scenes have zero weight to it, the lip sync is right up uncanny valley. But yeah, considering what it is it's pretty good overall.

NimoStar -- And Pathfinding in SC1 was not *that* bad, the problem is that it was designed as a flat 2D game like WC1 (and it was in the alpha) and then switched to isometric without changing the base code. So its actually a flat game pretending to be isometric. With the custom competitive maps that use larger ramps and elevation, pathfinding is quite fixed.

NimoStar -- The unlocking and map choice was fine, but mostly in WoL - In HoTS the worst of all units are irrelevant because Kerrigan has infinite summon and stuff. And even in WoL the spaceship instakill map powers are better than units. If I could RTS in my RTS that'd be great.
