Stop Selling System v1.06 [Updated]

[Moderator]

Bribe -
Destroying NotAllowedHeroes group? Why? This whole things needs a re-write, likely in JASS.

And how is this going to be useful at all ?

if you don´t want players to buy from your shop it will be useful

or

if you don't want players to buy from enemies

or

if you don´t want mages to buy Axe or something like that

avoid the usage of IntegerA.
use a Variable instead.

 

[ALiEN95]

never heard that its bad...does it make action return slower or something??
why should i not use it?

ok so if i should not use it i should use integer variable Temp_Integer and set it to Integer A ?

like...

do actions from 1 to 12
set Temp_Integer = Integer A

 

[krisserz]

why should i not use it?

It`s global variable so it may bug if there is run second trigger with loop for each int A. But that`s really a big problem if there are waits in loop.

 

[VoidLordXtreme]

no just create your own integer variable

it could bug if there are other instances with Integer A running.

edit: damn, you were quickier^^

ok i can understand that its a problem if you use waits...
but i dunno why is it bad like this

how do you create your own integer variable that can be used for integer actions from x to x ??

will i need custom script / jass trigger for that ?

btw are you sure i need to avoid normal integer action??

 

[krisserz]

will i need custom script / jass trigger for that ?

No, there is action 'for each integer variable'.

btw are you sure i need to avoid normal integer action??

Umm well it`s better because even if you aren`t using there waits the person using this system may in other trigger do so, so it`d bug for that person.

 

[VoidLordXtreme]

in other words, when there are multiple triggers/loops with Integer A running at the same time, the triggers could bug.

to prevent any case of a bug, just dont use em

 

[MortAr]

Why not just change the shop ability to target only friendly units?

 

[ALiEN95]

Why not just change the shop ability to target only friendly units?

it cant be done....otherwise i would not make the system

-i will replace integer actions but i need to know if it is really needed

 

[karland90]

as far as i remembered there were 2 different shop abilities:
one (e.g. from goblin merchant) that sells to all players
another one (e.g. from arcane vault) that only sells to allied players.

i think im right, but i might be wrong. but i still think that im right and that this resource is obsolete. :/

 

[MortAr]

Anyway, theres 2 abilities, one that target only heroes and one that target only units.. but you can always select what type of units it can select (ex: friendly, enemy, etc.)

My point here, ALiEN95 was that the system is not useful since these 2 abilities prevent players to buy items from the enemy shop(s).

im not sure but....
i think its just because arcane vault has item´s list at items made not items sold,however you cannot have "start replenish interval" (it is the time needed for item to be available) when items are at items made list

the other thing is that allies can buy from your shop witch can be stopped with this system

btw: you can stop item-type from buying witch should be useful...

 

[Septimus]

you cannot have "start replenish interval"

they're done via object editor at item section =.=

 

[Noobsmoke]

it looks usefull for me

 

[ALiEN95]

they're done via object editor at item section =.=

i said it wrong.... i mean
you cannot have start delay (time than needs to pass for item to be available) if you put items at items made list

 

[Noobsmoke]

make a change log pls

 

[War_Golum]

some useful

 

[Masken]

This is perfect for my map! +rep because im happy! Will download once i get to main cpu.

 

[ALiEN95]

make a change log pls

i will make it when i make some changes

some useful

ty

if someone has someone suggestions post it too

 

[Sorceress]

Looks nice. Le'ts try it out!

 

[Geongus]

Useful but strange - 4/5

 

[Garfield1337]

This is useless,as far as i know,arcane vault only sells to allied units as karland said.

Did you even test it? -.-
Did you read this?

This system can:
-stop players to buy from other players
-stop hero-type to buy item-type
(for example you can make mages unable to buy swords)
(you can also stop selling units by disableing gold/wood/food cap for owner of HERO[(Integer A)]) and setting gold/wood/food cap back to normal at second trigger)
(you can also make hero not to buy something based to any conditions you want)

for example:
If you want to display gold/lumber in your game even if hero is not near shop than do
-increase range of "Select Hero" / "Shop Sharing" ability in your shop
-make unit unable to buy if disatance from shop and hero is to long

...you can make any conditions you want to sell or not sell item to unit and that was impossible

 

[Garfield1337]

Yes,i've tested it and i think this could have been done easier way.

haha
well witch one than?

 

[Garfield1337]

Whole system is overcomplicated. You just have to check item classification to prevent mages from buying swords. And to prevent certain units from buying,just save true boolean in hashtable with unit ID as key,and destroy item each time unit with true boolean buys item.

why dont you try it and see if it works -.-

there is just not way to detect unit that is buying the item!,not with this event in trigger

this system is disableing any hero that should not buy the item (hero´s player must have shop selected too)

 

[Garfield1337]

Using

• (Load 0 of (Key (Buying unit)) from (Last created hashtable)) Equal to True

you can check if a boolean is true,as i said in last post.

THERE IS NO WAY TO DETECT BUYING UNIT,PLEASE TEST SOMETHING BEFORE ANY MORE POSTING!

IM ALMOUSE SURE TAHT TEHRE IS NO EASIER WAY TO SOLVE THIS (and better dont try it)


i dont underestand,but even some mods are saying something before testing if they are write or wrong

 

[Garfield1337]

You're the one that should test. Make an event

• Unit sells an item

and use

• (Buying Unit)

to refer to buying unit.
What's problem in that >.<

because item will already be sold...
you lose...

and i said "test something before posting" -.-,im not a noob

im write,ur wrong
~ Peace

 

[Garfield1337]

You're the one that should test it.
Since you still don't believe me,check this: View attachment Lolzor.w3x
Sorry,you aren't right.

omg,stop selling comments please
i said "peace"

...
WITH THAT EVENT ITEM IS ALREADY SOLD SO THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP ITEM FROM BEING SOLD TO HERO

and please...you dont have to be offended....

again....im not a noob -.-,i know what im doing

 

[Garfield1337]

Ok,let's not argue anymore

 

[Dr Super Good]

I do not get exatly what this system is meant to do. When I tested it I managed to feed cheese to the do not give cheese hero. It also looks like a triggering mess and I can not see any form of logical data table structure to it. I see no use for this system in its current state.

In its current state it looks like a proof of concept map rather than anything practicle or usable.

What is really needed is for this to be combined with an item restriction system so you can set up data set and it will apply to the units for both purchases and pickups. Such a system would be highly useful for RPGs and could save a lot of hassle.

To make MUI will probably be difficult but really is important for the usability of such systems. I advise looking at how other parameters behave with the units involved. You might find some pattern or corolation that will let you make it MUI. I am aware this can be painful it can be, something as simple as a building construction detection system took me a long time to design and make.

"I do not get exatly what this system is meant to do. When I tested it I managed to feed cheese to the do not give cheese hero."
(that would not happen in games with one hero by player)
-they system only works for hero stored in HERO[X] variable and that hero gets big,so maybe shop didnt target the big hero big hero...anyway that mess will not happen when i update this

Edit:
i can make it fast for v1.06 (Done)

variables - 3
timer varaiable - ITEM
UnitGroup - "NotAllowedHeroes" (heroes that should not buy the item)
Item-Type - "ITEM"
-now it will work for all players and hero does not have to be stored in HERO[X] variable
-the system will not be able to detect the buying unit (as it never did) but it will work for the buying units
-should it get it approved?


[system description:
the system disables all heroes that should not buy the item
(so if you dont want mages to buy axe than you disable all mages)
also there is a "shop is selected by player" condition
so if you have 6 mages and 2 players have the shop selected only 2 mages could be they buying unit and they will be disabled
when i say disabled i mean
it increases level of inventory ability to 2 and on that level hero is unable to get items,after 0.00 seconds (timer expireing) they will again be able to get items ]

(and btw,not sure if you need it or if you already did it...
but you can use channel ability with 100 range and when unit is issued to build order him to use channel at that point instead and save the building,when unit begins casting channel order him to build the saved building,i heard that you could not detect the builder if 2 players targeted the same point but now its possible because builder is the casting unit xD )
