I have a map with hypers and somtimes when u unload a unit from the drop ship, theres
a trigger that makes it reload. But with the hypers somtimes it reloads so fast the unit goes un detected... how do i make it work everytime?

Maybe you should put a small wait time so it has a delay so it can detect it. Or put a air location on the dropship or w/e and if its missing 1 less of that unit, something happens.

Don't "Always" reload the unit, only do it when the unit is dropped.

Put the triggers to detect the unit BEFORE the trigger that reloads it.

That won't work.

Why not?

Let's say the unit is ALWAYS being told to reload. It has to be unloaded before it gets the order to go back in. If the trigger to detect is before the load trigger, that will fire before it is told to get into the transport. If the triggers are ordered properly, there's no way a unit can get an order to load before a trigger detects it on the ground.

You mean use the time the PC needs to scan all the triggers once as the delay ?

Because your reasoning is completely theoretical.

The problem is the unit seems to be able to go back into the Dropship before the trigger detects it. Most of the time the unit is detected but for those few times that it isn't, players can get extremely frustrated.

My test map:
[attachmentid=19156]

Element-Nature: The best way to do it is to only have the AI script to reload (Action) in the same trigger as the one that detects it.

I would say delete your auto-reload trigger and stick a reload at teh end of the detection trigger. That might be the method in LW's map, but I'm too lazy to look.

I'm not able to veiw your attachment but if the trigger that detects the unit is before the trigger that reloads it. Then the unit won't even receave an order to enter the transport until after the other trigger detects it.

Only way it could receave the order before it is detected is if it receaves the order while still in the transport.

Ither way both methods should work Kenoli's defently will.

Ill try konoli's way but i have 2 hypers so i dunno if the effect will be too fast or too slow to also remove a unit when that unit is dropped.

ADDITION:
Actually it turned out so uberness pwnz0rz perfect so thanx

It just doesn't work that way. I have the AI script running on the ground location.
