(Post) Here to make your Rep Double Green

hello, nice to meet you

when i go home i will do that and we will discuss about the project... ^^

do you have facebook or hotmail or skype or raidcall or curse voice?
or any kind of chat that we can discuss about the project in real time?
maybe garena messenger would be better so we can test the map together!! (this is the best option download it if you dont have)

hi... so you want to help with pirate's age orpg?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

HashTables store boatloads of data if needed. I've had a hashtable store tens of thousands of values for my Retro library. No one has ever hit any limit other than the number of hashtables you can create (and Table obviously eliminates that weakness).

np bro

k I found the problem. .periodic needs to be above any method which references it, otherwise it screws up the return value of GetTriggeringTrigger. Basically, make sure you sort top->bottom in your precedence to avoid compile-time trigger evaluations.

please link me the full script which uses the tb variable as I don't have WC3 installed to open your map right now. What you shared with me was written the way it should be - but I'm wondering if another function is messing with tb to make it work improperly.

Open this map and look the spawn trigger.

I hope you can do it soon &_&

Ohh no I thought you were going to rewrite your spawn system to include a a feature that makes it so that the waves dont spawn until the previous wave is dead ?

Ohh its 1:15 AM where you are ? I was just wondering how much you got done on the system

Whatever floats your boat, man.
If you want honest talk and opinion feel free to ask.

Any updates on the system? o:

You clearly have not.
I am glad that you do use my models, but it is really up to you to do those icons.
it's your work not mine. YOu have to be pleased by your work, not me.

No it's not.
You just have to understand that I don't care much.

I really did not want to sound like a jerk in chat, but you have to understand that I really do not care for other people's business. Especially people that I don't know that well.

*O* you can do it?!

Sorry :/ I had to remove the comments because the post was too long.

I added wait times in between the unit types so that the index doesn't +1 until the wait time is over. However, I think when combined with the "units don't start spawning again until the wave is dead" feature, it bugged out. I have been trying to recreate it all day, and this is all I got. Let me know what you think

Encountering a few bugs with the spawn system :/ mind helping me add the feature?

I'm waiting for you LOL

Hahaha sowwy I'll still send it to you ! I think its really cool

All right! I'll make sure to send you a map its a 2 player game. My friend and I are making it because we want to make the perfect survival map for us

I guess more of a hero survival. The map is basically a "defend the chokepoint" kind of mod. I spawn units at X and then they attack at Y. Unfortunately, the traditional "attack-move" trigger makes the units act REALLY derpy when they cant reach their attacking target.

EX: If I build walls at the chokepoint, and then place towers behind it, the wave will try to attack the tower that they obviously can't reach. They look really derpy and just walts around until the game's code finally makes them attack my wall

Yes I did x) I changed up your trigger a bit to my liking. No worry! I will still credit you it's like 98% your system still. Thanks ! Now I just need to find a move system ;_;

Hey btdonald! Your spawn system is perfect for my map under the condition that the waves don't begin to spawn until after the previous wave is dead. Any idea how to do this? I've spent hours trying to figure out, but I just can't get it to work ;_;

EDIT: I got it!

(Post) Thank you for sharing! Looks like a great implementation

Sure.
Good luck with your map.

I think you should make an extension version of this system ^^!

Extension version? What do you mean?

Here it is the other map xD
It is got heavy work for well, not even being done to be "playable"
I may complete 2 races properly and start it all -NE and UD-

Nope :c create one, it is easy.

Tell me, do you use facebook?

Sweet, I was thinking about making a trigger so the AI knows when the enemy powers are available and how much damage they can deal, I was actually making it so when the hero is choosen and leves up a skills and uses it a timer is run, if the timer is 0 the ability is "available" as a mark for the AI, not only to know when to force an order but also for the AI to evaluate the damage and go for targets that have wasted their damage potential so that the pc can elminate them, also for the AI to calculate total combo damage versus resistances, so that the AI can one-shot an enemy hero as a priority.

Excellent, then ill get to finish the new map terrain, do you want to check it?

NICE! tell me when it is done to check it

Hmmm what does that mean?
