[Trigger] -ally, -war, -na

[Vallon]

Spent hours do the ally system manually with over 400 triggers. Luckily, I have time to waste this summer and don't care much. I want to clean it up, however, and get a better system. Anyway.

I want a player to be able to type -ally COLOR and they will become allied with vision.

Then, -war COLOR and they will become enemies.

Then, -na COLOR, and they will become neutral.

I also want it done for each faction. So you have two methods of -ally, -war, and -na'ing. May seem unnecessary, but I want an easy command basis for players.

So.. -ally FACTION, for example, will have the same effect as -ally COLOR.

example:
-ally red (rome)
-ally rome (red)

Using the variables and trigger setup courtesy of ap0calpyse,

Make a copy of the trigger you made for Step 2: The Command, changing the input strings for the event.

Then, instead of:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempGroup and do (Actions)
• Loop - Actions
• Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to (Player((Integer A))) and Change color
• Else - Actions

Use the Player - Set alliance function, making (triggering player) treat (player(integer A)) as a ally/enemy/neutral

Tried. Got an error. xD

Post your trigger so we can see where you went wrong.

Ok firstly, you don't need to print screen your triggers.

Right click on the trigger in the bottom right view and select "copy as text", then paste it in trigger tags on your post.

As for the trigger itself: one problem I see is that you are picking every player where you don't need to. Move the "Player - set alliance" function out of the pick.

Other than that it should be working fine, what was the error you got?
