A blacksmith produces weapons

[Herod]

Need ideas how can I do this:

A blacksmith with auto cast ability produces Swords, bows, pikes, armor etc....

Each Autocast ability when enabled, produces a weapon in X seconds at cost of gold and lumber and maybe a custom resource. Any idea

 

[Uncle]

What is a weapon? Is it a unit? An upgrade? An item?

Does the system have to use an autocast ability? What if you just press the ability buttons to toggle them on/off.

Can the blacksmith have multiple abilities enabled at once?

Custom resources have to be triggered.

Custom resources have to be triggered.

1) A resource. For exemple, to produce 1 footman, needs X gold, 1 sword, 1 iron shield and 1 Iron armor.
2) I imagined just turn on/off blacksmith producing a sword or a shield in moment ( not both at same time)
3)No, just one resource (sword, shield, bow, spear) can be produced at the time
4) This is already done

 

[Uncle]

So a Weapon is a resource similar to Gold/Lumber? Since it's a custom resource I assume you manage it through triggers like so:

• Set Variable SwordCount[Player number of some player] = SwordCount[Player number of some player] + 1

So the first idea that comes to mind:
1) The Barracks should train Units like normal.
2) The Units it trains are Weapons (Sword, Shield, etc).
3) Once a unit finishes training it gets Removed and the Player earns a custom resource depending on the type of Unit that was trained.
4) The Barracks should fill it's entire queue up with whatever Unit-type is chosen to be trained. If a Unit is cancelled then clear the entire queue. If another Unit-Type is trained then Clear the entire queue of the previous Unit-Type before filling it with the new one.

You can use Unit Indexing and the Begins/Cancels/Finishes training Events to manage this.
Unit Indexing may not even be necessary. You'll also want a Hashtable to link the Weapon Unit-Types to their Costs so you can get this information easily.

idk what you saying need exemple. Ive done this its ok

• Bow
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Entering unit)) Equal to Bow
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.10 seconds
    • Unit - Remove (Entering unit) from the game
    • Set VariableSet IntegerWoodBow = (IntegerWoodBow + 1)
    • Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 2 (Blue) in (Last created leaderboard) to IntegerWoodBow

But has other issue, Im using unit event (load/unload).
This "weapon workshop" can only produces weapons with a peasant loaded in it....

• EnterMill Copy
  • Events
    • Game - CargoEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of CargoTransportUnit[UDex]) Equal to Weapon Workshop
  • Actions
    • Player - Make Bow Available for training/construction by Player 1 (Red)
    • Player - Make Spear Available for training/construction by Player 1 (Red)
    • Player - Make Wooden Sword Available for training/construction by Player 1 (Red)

this dont work cause all workshop even withou peasant can train "sword, bow and spears"
I think train Bows need be an ability

 

[Uncle]

It doesn't necessarily need to be an ability, you could simply Cancel the training if the unit doesn't have any Cargo in it:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins training a unit
• Conditions
  • Cargo count Equal to 0 (I forget the name of this condition but it should exist)
• Actions
  • Set Variable TempUnit = (Triggering unit)
  • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(udg_TempUnit, 851976)

There's plenty of tutorials on Hashtables / Unit Indexing. I recommend learning these techniques if you want to make advanced triggers, it's not all that hard if you put the work in.

Edit: I saw you were using a Unit Group provided by Unit Event, make sure to put the correct Custom Value in the [index]:

• (Number of units in CargoTransportGroup[Custom value of (Triggering unit)] Equal to 0

 

[Herod]

Integer comparison variables has only these, and count unit group (cargo transport group) does not work, need help

You need to put the correct Custom Value in the [index] of CargoTransportGroup[].

• (Number of units in CargoTransportGroup[Custom value of (Triggering unit)] Equal to 0

Remember, every unit has a unique Custom Value thanks to the Unit Indexer system.

A unit's Custom Value can then be put in the [index] of a variable array to link that variable's data to that specific unit.

The Unit Event system uses this method for storing it's data.

TY solved, tomorrow I will try the looping trainning

 

[Herod]

@Uncle , thats done, now, how can I do infinite trainning, I was testing with training on click, but its very booring, need do the infinite trainning

uncle said 4) The Barracks should fill it's entire queue up with whatever Unit-type is chosen to be trained. If a Unit is cancelled then clear the entire queue. If another Unit-Type is trained then Clear the entire queue of the previous Unit-Type before filling it with the new one.

These three triggers will make the Blacksmith always have 7 units in it's queue. If you cancel one it will stop all production:

• Blacksmith Begin Training
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Blacksmith Begin Training <gen>
    • -------- --------
    • Set VariableSet Blacksmith = (Triggering unit)
    • Set VariableSet TrainedUnitType = (Trained unit-type)
    • -------- --------
    • For each (Integer Blacksmith_Loop) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order Blacksmith to train/upgrade to a TrainedUnitType
    • -------- --------
    • Trigger - Turn on Blacksmith Begin Training <gen>

• Blacksmith Finish Training
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Blacksmith Begin Training <gen>
    • -------- --------
    • Set VariableSet TrainedUnitType = (Trained unit-type)
    • Unit - Order Blacksmith to train/upgrade to a TrainedUnitType
    • -------- --------
    • Trigger - Turn on Blacksmith Begin Training <gen>

• Blacksmith Cancel Training
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Cancels training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off Blacksmith Cancel Training <gen>
    • -------- --------
    • Set VariableSet Blacksmith = (Triggering unit)
    • -------- --------
    • For each (Integer Blacksmith_Loop) from 1 to 7, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(udg_Blacksmith, 851976)
    • -------- --------
    • Trigger - Turn on Blacksmith Cancel Training <gen>

From a gameplay perspective it might make more sense to have the blacksmith make a single forged equipment resource that is then used as a resource to train units rather than having multiple different resources that the player, UI and logic need to keep track of. The blacksmith then becomes a building that converts resources into another resource and this conversion process could be toggleable on/off, possibly with an ability like defend, immolation or mana shield. The conversion itself could be a periodic trigger that for each blacksmith that is on takes some resources, if the player can afford, to produce the forged equipment resource for the player.

Its a good idea I will try this too, TY!

TY UNCLE

 

[Herod]

Worked nice, need other issue, not finding the answer,
Need hide not remove the build structure icon, cause I will use advanced buildings, but the event forces the player hit B

 

[Uncle]

Not exactly sure what you mean but forcing players to press hotkeys is really not a great solution unless your game is being played offline. There's going to be a delay and nothing guarantees that the player still has the desired unit selected.

You can hide any ability button using the Hide Ability action or by setting it's x/y button position to 0/-11. Although, the build abilities may be inaccessible.

 

[Herod]

humm dindt know this, Im need more buildings one button dont show all..

I´ve did this

• normal build Copy Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Normal Buildings
  • Actions
    • Player - Make Weapon Workshop Unavailable for training/construction by (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Player - Make Armor Workshop Unavailable for training/construction by (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Player - Make Town Centerr Available for training/construction by (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Player - Make Farmm Available for training/construction by (Owner of (Triggering unit))

    • Player - Make Windmill Available for training/construction by (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Game - Force (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to press the key B.
