- This system will allow your building to auto generate resource.
- You can adjust the income and the interval between receiving income.
- It is GUI-friendly :)
HOW TO USE
External Instructions
- Open World Editor - File - Preferences... - General Tab - Tick the Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data
- Copy the Simple Resource Generator System folder.
- Further instructions inside the RG Setup Trigger.
Internal Instructions
There are 4 types of configurables;
RG_Building - Which building you want ?
RG_Income - What amount of income do you want from the building ?
RG_DurationInterval - What is the interval in-between receiving income from the building ?
RG_ResourceType - What kind of resource do you want that building to supply ?
- ResourceTypeFood
- ResourceTypeLumber
- ResourceTypeGold

This is an excellent system.
There are some speed quirks that could be taken into consideration, but I find it hard to care. :P
Good job. This is an ideal system that does no extra operations (algorithmically speaking)
Old reviews
Well, it does it's job pretty well. Just a few tips:
When a unit is constructed, you don't need to loop to determine
whether you should add him to the group or not, you can save a
boolean into the hashtable to determine whether the structure would
produce a resource or not and load that instead.
There needs to be an easier way to add resources to the system.
Something like the below trigger would suffice:
Trigger
Init
Events
Map Initialization
Conditions Actions
-------- Resource Types -------- Set ResourceTypeFood = 1 Set ResourceTypeLumber = 2 Set ResourceTypeGold = 3 Set ResourceTypeLaz0rs = 4 -------- --- -------- Set Resource_Building = Meathouse Set Resource_Type = ResourceTypeFood Set Resource_Income = 60 Run ResourceSetup <gen> (ignoring conditions) -------- --- -------- Set Resource_Building = GoldMine Set Resource_Type = ResourceTypeGold Set Resource_Income = 15 Run ResourceSetup <gen> (ignoring conditions)
This would be much better. The ResourceSetup trigger would save
the values into your hashtable, making this resource much easier for
the user to ... use.
Def-Kool :P (Definitely cool) :P
okey, i can see no-leaks, it's a GUI-friendliness and easy-configurable
Could be useful with GUIers
Rated for 4/5 :P Nice
Edit: This can be even better if having something more advance like: Playing building (unit) animations during the income time. And a special effects with the income time expiration

I'm trying to make a lagless system as I can, well, maybe it's okay to have SFX created for just 10 buildings or less, but if the players have built 20 buildings per player (12 * 20 = 240) SFX create per income interval (maybe some of them has different timer) but still, it would create a lag if it's done all at once.
For playing the unit's animation would not create as much lag as SFX but, some of the animation has about more than 10 seconds of animation to complete, it could possibly overrides the duration of income interval and would play a not-complete-animation of the building thus could ruin the concept there.
I'm more focusing towards functionality rather than visually.
Nice system, although I didn't need this for now. Why not add a unit generation system too? An example if you don't know what I mean.
A barrack create 1 footman for each 5 seconds. Max 10 footman
Ah I remember doing something like this a while ago obviously, not released, personally I always think these systems are too map-specific (since everybody has to manually put in all the structures they want and blah) Triggering itself looks pretty good, I'm /assuming/ there's a big long instructions manual in the actual map itself, it's useful, Although I still think you should move onto using dynamic indexing for these kind of systems - they really are a waste when they're only holding a couple of variables and less efficient, there are quite a lot of tutorials on it, I suggest you go have a look at them, it'd make it cleaner and easier to understand for other people.
