How to not index starting locations?

[Pinzu]

I'm currently using Bribes Index System and can't find the unit-type for starting locations.

Starting locations are not units.

Why would you need to index starting locations?

Not being accusatory--just would like more information in order to help you out best.

I dont need to index them, they are indexed. Cus the other units start at 12 or 13 so it can't be any thing else.

While we are at it, if I have a amount of 20-40 unit types I don't want to be indexed... How do i best block them?

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Not equal to City Developer
    • (Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Military Developer
      • .....
      • 40...
    • UDexEnabled Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
  • IndexStuff()

I don't think this is a good method. Perhaps load every unit-type to not be indexed into a hash and then if the hash returns 1 it doesn't index?

If you want to create unit without indexing it via Bribe's indexer you just:

• Set UnitIndexerEnabled = false
• Unit - Create (...)
• Set UnitIndexerEnabled = true

However, you want to customize the index-condition block you need to head directly to Bribe's indexer, and find:

• -------- --------
• -------- You can also customize the following block - if conditions are false the (Matching unit) won't be indexed. --------
• -------- --------
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • UnitIndexerEnabled Equal to True

Insert any conditions you want with (Matching unit) as a unit reference. Those will be taken into consideration and properly omited.

You could also read the documentation about Bribe's stuff before asking ^)^

^For solution 2, I think he asked how to do it the easy way for 40 unit types.

 

[Bannar]

And what do you expect? Is there easier solution apart from inserting conditions into internal indexer's code? Thats how Bribe intended his filter to work anyway.

Instead of unitid check smap he could just add a hidden ability to each of those unit-types and then check: (Level of "ability" for (Matching unit) == 0). He could also retrieve the constant integer values corresponding to given types, order the types to be on thop of each other - A000, A001, A002 (...) and then perform integer value check: GetUnitTypeId(u) > range and GetUnitTypeId(u) < range.

I meant, an easier way to do it instead of 40 lines of conditions.

Look at post above.

I see, nice one.
