How do you list all the units in a mission without using a trigger

Well, you just look at the mission in the misson editor and write them all down.

I think what MacGuba means is, there is no other way to do it.

I can't think of one either.

The only shortcut would be for named groups:

_arrayofallmyunits = [thisunit] + [thatunit] + ... + Units thisgroup + Units thatgroup + ...

But it's hardly earth-shattering.

if your reason for not using a trigger is because of cpu strain, then simply have it

a) just run once
b) if required to run more than once but not at the usual looping speed of a trigger, then activate, deactivate it by having a script state a boolean as true or false

if you only need it to run once, but not immediately, then set its countdown timer


if its a list of all players you need, then you could go down the route of using coc network services
