[General] how can i make lumber generate more than once

[andreasaspenberg]

i am working on a new project where resources is generated rather than gathered. i am using a periodic timer to generate lumber while reducing gold but lumber is only generated once while gold is being reduced as intended. how can i make the lumber generate as intended.(every 2 seconds)

?

Btw, it seems you didnt read or ignored the wc3 question I pm'ed you : o

If you have triggers please show them.

i am using i timer like that but it still happens only once. i also use a trigger that adds 40 for each town hall a player controls but it happens once only. i didnt get any pms from you.

You should run it more than once then.

Rly, provide something in any way useful and you might get anwers..

here is the map so you can look at it yourself.

Post the triggers please. Not everyone can download the map.

You have two triggers affecting lumber

• oxigen generation
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Add -40 to Player 1 (Red) Current lumber
    • Player - Add ((Number of units in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) of type Greenhouse)) x 40) to Player 1 (Red) Current gold

and

• carbondioxide generation
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Add ((Number of units in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) of type Town Hall)) x 40) to Player 1 (Red) Current lumber

So every two seconds we have -40 lumber and additionally +40 only if Player 1 controlls a Human Town Hall. So that results in either -40 or +0 every 2 seconds.

Anything used twice or more should be stored into a variable and the variable should be used. Example: Store this into a player variable. (Player(Lumber))
Also you should just use a temp integer.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

each building have a separate number of used gold and generates lumber based on how much gold they use. town hall uses 40 gold while smaller buildings use less.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Store all units in a group. Pick all units. Load value from Hashtable or using their point value. Then add that much lumber to player.

Note. You should only add gold and lumber once per loop iteration. Both of those actions have a leak that cannot be fixed.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i dont know how to use hashtables but they are restricted to being used after creation. what i did was multiply each building with the amount it will generate. that seems simple and leak free.

 

[deathismyfriend]

The leak is caused with the action add gold / lumber to player. Same with removing good and lumber.
Multiplying is what i suggested. If you have found a solution then post it. If you still need help tell us what is not working and what is not working.

i solved the original problem but i got another one. now lumber wont go below 40 times the number of town halls.(1 townhall and it doesnt go below 40, 2 townhalls and it doesnt go below 80, 3 townhalls and it doesnt go below 120 and 4 townhalls and it doesnt go below 160.)

Show us the trigger.

As in the first problem the mistake is again in your trigger logic. Sit down, think about what your trigger exactly does and correct it. It might sound a bit rude but this trigger is easy and if you want to learn making maps you have to do such things on your own. (Im a bit confused though as you have 2000 posts ..)

 

[andreasaspenberg]

as i get harassed whenever i upload just the triggers i am uploading the map instead.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Post triggers please. Not everyone can look at the map.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

last time i posted triggers i got harassed so i dont dare post triggers anymore.

 

[deathismyfriend]

I can't help you fix your problem then. And if you think someone is harassing you then just report them.
You should notice though that many people were telling you the same thing and you never even looked for a condition to match that.

If you want help then post the triggers if not then good luck is the best I can offer.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

last time i reported someone i got banned so i wont do that mistake again. why are you even posting in a warcraft 3 forum if you dont have warcraft 3.

I do have WC3 I'm just not on it often.
Also you don't need WC3 to debug basic triggers.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

if you have warcraft 3 you could just install it and use it to open the map.(or just use it if it is already installed.) warcraft 3 works perfectly in windows 7 at the very least.

You know andreas, he asked you nicely that! Why are you refusing so stubbornly to be helped?!? You evade every tentative of being helped, is there an ulterior motive to these questions?!?

I have it installed on my pcs. But I am on my phone most of the time or coding in c# xna on my pc and I don't want to be bothered opening wc3 to download a map and open it just to look at triggers that could easily be posted by the one asking help.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i dont dare post the triggers directly because of how people are always reacting to it. please open the map and look at the triggers there.

 

[Heinvers]

I'm not sure what's that supposed to mean 0_o besides, why would you care, this way it will will help you faster?!? where's the logic andreas?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i am not very brave so when people harass me over something i avoid doing it again. i have also been harassed more than usual so i am more scared than usual. it isnt however that difficult to look at a map to find bugs. if someone else posted a map and asked me to look at it to find an issue i would. i am therefore asking for something that i am willing to do myself.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Just post the triggers. I don't care if they are horribly coded or coded great. If there is anything that needs fixed I would still suggest it.
