Pylon Help

[DeuceGorgon]

Hi, how i can make building with region where you can build and behind the region you can't? like pylon from starcraft. Help me with triggers please.

And if you can, can you remake or make for me night elf pylon?

This is something I have 'struggled' with for quite some time (I put 'struggled' in quotes because I really haven't given it too much thought besides "oh when I mod Naga I should make them use Pylons like Protoss" and that's it ). I feel like it shouldn't be too hard, but then again...

#1, are you currently using "Blight" in your project? If not, that's half the battle; just make a "pylon" unit that makes Blight in a circle, and it'll only allow buildings built there.

As for the "not working without Pylons"... Not sure. Perhaps a little hidden aura (Tornado Slow Aura is choice) & a trigger that catches whether a building tries to build/train/research/upgrade anything, stopping it if it doesn't have the buff?

yes, i got it But i need now circle indicator for it like aura model or something.

That's easy. I'm sure there's a model out there somewhere for this (or an easily moddable in-game effect).

But i need maybe again trigger, When you click on the pylon or well so you will it but when will unclicked , will hiden.

can you help with this?

Hm, I dunno.

I guess... Well there's probably an easier (more triggered?) way, but I suppose if you can use 2 quick triggers to 'catch' a selection & deselection event ("unit is selected...", "unit is de-selected..."), then you can just dynamically add/remove a custom "Factory" ability (not "Pocket Factory", but "Factory"; Search for it) which continually creates little short-lived "aura dummies", simply for the effect.

Or... Just add/remove the Aura ability in general (a modified Aura ability which has no effect, but has the Aura model). So click -> add ability -> gives Aura (model), un-click -> removes ability -> removes Aura (model).

Meh?

//EDIT// To get all the pylons, you'd have to do a "select all" trigger.

Sorry, no time. But good luck! It's not too hard to poke around the Trigger/Object Editor for the stuff I'm referring to, and it's good practice.

Create a dummy unit at the position of the enemy, give him a missile attack of a "soul model", then simply have the dummy unit attack your hero once.
