Open/Close Gate => full HP?

[Striker21]

You can see the problem at the name. When... example: You attack a lever to open/close the gate, the gate when opened/closed will have it's full hit point. How to fix this? +rep

 

[Ramza]

Just before you open the gate, save the gate's HP in a ''Real'' variable (''Set Variable'' action). When you close the gate, set the gate's HP to that variable (''Destructible - Set Life'').

Do as what Ramza says.

I thought about it already, but i set life of what destructible? Last created destructible? -tried but not work. Which line will match this sistuation?

 

[rcshaggy]

I've seen a ability do this in some maps and campaigns I've played before.

And... when the gate is opening, that's means the gate's hit point is 0? maybe that's explain why the gate die when close . This is my trigger:

• Events
• Destructible - Lever 0478 <gen> dies
• Conditions
• Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Gate[25] Equal to False
  • Then - Actions
    • Set Gate_system[25] = True
    • Destructible - Set life of Gate 0477 <gen> to Gates_HP
    • Destructible - Open Gate 0477 <gen>
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • Destructible - Resurrect Lever 0478 <gen> with (Max life of Lever 0478 <gen>) life and Hide birth animation
  • Else - Actions
    • Set Gate_system[25] = False
    • Set Gates_HP = (Current life of Gate 0477 <gen>)
    • Destructible - Close Gate 0477 <gen>
    • Destructible - Set life of Gate 0477 <gen> to Gates_HP
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • Destructible - Resurrect Lever 0478 <gen> with (Max life of Lever 0478 <gen>) life and Hide birth animation

Var: Gate_system[] is boolean with array. Tell me what's wrong

 

[Striker21]

Oke, now i know what's wrong, I should not put the Set Gates_HP = (Current life of Gate 0477 <gen>) before the Destructible - Close Gate 0477 <gen> at the Else action. It cause the gate still at 0 hp +rep all, but another problem: How to detect if the gate is truely alive or not, cause i want: this trigger does not work anymore when the gate is dead. And... you know when the gate is open => it's hp is 0 => gate is dead, so... I can't turn off this trigger when using Destructible - Gate 0477 <gen> dies as event

 

[Ramza]

I had the same problem with one of my old maps. What I did was, turn the open/close triggers off when an enemy unit enters a region just behind the gate. Because that would mean they have breached it.

What might also work is to have a boolean variable. Set this boolean to ''True'' when a player opens the gate. Then when someone wants to close it, check if the boolean is ''True''.
Now, when the gate is actually destroyed, the boolean will not be set to ''True'', so players won't be able to close it again.
