[Solved] Making All units unavailable at the start of the game.

[DJ_Dragon_CZ]

Hello, i could use some help, im making map, where you gonna be buying units from barracks, but i wanna make that after every round units in barracks will change, what i saw in LegionTD is that they make all units limited to 0 at the begining so you cant build any, altough the builder have all of them, and then it will unlock limit training for some random units at each round. I got that. but my problem is im not able to make all units unavailabe, i got them all in one Unit Type Variable, And then i have this

But for some reason it just dont do anything, once i test i still have full barrack of random units. Im not sure if im using that trigger wrong or.. Just have no clue right now So if someone could give me hand i would appreciate it

"Player - Limit training of Unit to 0 for Player" will make it so the builder cant construct that unit type and that buildings cant train any of that unit type.
Setting it to -1 allows for an infinity of those buldings to be constructed and units to be trained.

It does not affect units sold by the building.

I suppose you are not looking to limit "Max stock" of sold units to 0 but you want to limit which units are available in the barracks. My guess would be that youd have to remove all the current units sold from the barrack and then add a random amount of new units to be sold.

I saved this randomize trigger a while ago, maybe it will be useful.

globals
    integer int
    integer count
    integer array values
endglobals

function InitValues takes nothing returns nothing    
    set int = 0
    loop
        exitwhen int > 73
        set values[int] = int
        set int = int + 1
    endloop
    set count = 74
endfunction

function PickRandomValue takes nothing returns integer
    local integer index = GetRandomInt(0, count - 1)
    local integer result = values[index]
    set values[index] = values[count - 1]
    set count = count - 1
    return result
endfunction

Yeah i think we are on same page, just.. i have no clue what any of this mean

Ignore the randomize functions i posted.

Lets take it from the beginning.
1. A regular peasant constructs buildings.
2. A regular human barracks trains units.
3. A regular mercenary camp sells units.
The action "Player - Limit training of Unit to 0 for Player" only applies to constructed buildings and trained units and not for sold units.

From what I am hearing from you, you are asking about the 3rd option, yet you confuse me a bit since I know there is no "building selling units" that changes units in legiontd the way you explained. Only the builder may change units (buildings constructed), which works perfectly with "Limit training of Unit to 0 for Player". To change units sold from "building selling units" my guess is that one would need to remove the current units from the "building selling units" and add the new units to the "building selling units". If one would want it to show 0 in stock my guess is that there is a dummy unit that is used with "Max stack" set to 0 or the "Max stack" of that original unit type is changed to 0 but I havent found an option to change "Max stack" of a unit type.

Yeah i guess i just confused you sorry, i mean barracks building units. Not selling anything. So when game starts, the barrack will be empty, after.. x seconds you will get few random units to buy. New round you will get again new set of units to buy from. I used the "Limit training of Unit to....:" But thats the thing, when i test, the barracks just have all units in it, becose nothing got set to that 0.

Works fine for me.

• LimitFootman
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet UnitType = Footman
    • Player - Limit training of UnitType to 0 for Player 1 (Red)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(UnitType))

You can make sure the correct unit is getting limited by displaying message ingame.
Can you take a screenshot of the units in the barracks ingame and post it?

Oh yeah, like this, it works for me aswell with one unit, but i need to do this for 73 units right now .. So thats why i wanted to use for Each Interger A, thats whats not working. If i do it same as you for one unit, its working good. Thats the main thing why im bothering here you .. Im confused why it is not working, becose is basicly the same thing just in loop, and dont really wanna make XX triggers just for limiting unit.

Where are you setting UnitAvailable? The variables are probably not set yet when you run the loop.

Yeah, and im done. I was like.. "Come on, i cant be that dumb, to make such a stupid mistake." Turns out.. There is not even event in Setting those varaibles.. So yeah now its working as it should. Thanks you guys. Appreciate the help.
