Advanced Structure "Build Set"?

[Arowanna]

Good greetings guys!

I just got a little question about this:


I'm pretty sure it's the same as the "Advanced Structures" in Starcraft and correct me if I'm wrong, but it's used in the campagin somewhere, no?

Anyway, my question is:
Is there a way to add this to a Builder/Hero somehow..? I've looked around but I sure can't find a way to do it... And of course, if you can add it, is there a way to change the "Building Set" within it? Add own builds and etc?

Thanks in advance , guys!

Copy this path and enter the icon field in your given heo/buildier and select Custom Path and paste this path there.

EDIT: eh you mean additional building set? It's not posible in warcraft 3, but there is a way to enlarge normal building set.
You can also use spell book as building sets, then you can create as many sets as you want, and use item abilities from campaign with customization (eg Small Caste, Small barracks) and place them into those spell book.

additional building set?

Exactly what I ment!

But meeh, if it isn't possible I'll just forget about it and add more Workers(sounds wierd as there's a function for it, or seems like it anyway).

Thanks for the help anyway, dude.

Edit
Or wait... I'll try what you mentioned, sounds like it should work just as fine! ;D

Edit
Hmm... With that... "System", how do you make stuff cost gold and lumber..?

I've been trying to make an "Advanced Structures" menu, it's working pretty much perfectly except that when you go to the Basic Structures menu after you've gone to the Advanced Structures menu, then it shows the Advanced Structures for half a second before the Basic Structures show. If you'd like to know how it works (triggers and such) just say so, maybe you'll find a solution to this bug.
Thanks for that icon by the way, if I ever do get this working I'll use that.

Anyway, to make the "Small" structures cost, make triggers. Just remove the cost of gold and lumber required from the player.

It's simple. Trigger it. Your buildings are just units, so you can specify an amount of gold&lumber which will be removed from player when he click to build (here cast an ability) given building. If player does not have enough use Action: Order issued unit to stop, for eye candy add: Display text in orange that says: Not enough resources, and play Sound - Error.
Add cost in Ability's description.

Yes, advanced structure used in alliance campaign, where the popular 'td' begin, so this what actually blizzard do
'Player - enable constrction of building', see the trigger editor that has smiliarities with my opinion
The enabled building will appear in build menu (default blizzard's Worker build ability)
And you need to disable the first one
So like this:
Basic structure:
Scout tower
Orc barrack
After upgraded to advanced structure:
Anti - mage tower
Orc burrow

the first one will triggered like this
Map initialization
Event
Map initialization
Condition
Action
Player - disable anti - mage tower for player 1
Player - disable orc burrow for player 1


For The advanced structure
Event
Unit - a unit finishes an upgrade
Condition
Researched teach type equal to advanced structure
Action
Player - enable anti mage tower for owner of triggering player
Player - enable orc burrow for owner of triggering player
Player - disable scout tower for owner of triggering player
Player - disable orc barrack for owner of triggering player

At the map initialization you need to disable all the advanced structure for all player (in this case from player 1 to 12)

Holy cow, that's exactly how my system works (although I thought it up myself). Would you mind telling me what map that's used in?

 

[rysnt11]

Alliance bonus campaign, i see thoose action, and came up into a conclusion that the trigger is used in that campaign, and i make a test map to see if that is correct or not, and it is correct

 

[Bannar]

He doesn't need any system for this it's too simple, just single spell book and one trigger.

 

[rysnt11]

have you played the single playe alliance bonus campaign?

Would be mind being more specific? Do you mean the alliance campaign in TFT? If so, which map (name would be nice)?

"Small" buildings can be inconvenient sometimes. A "make building available/unavailable" would be more desirable in some situations.

 

[Arowanna]

@rysnt11, that sounds pretty awesome (and yeah, I remember the "Elf/Human Bonus Campagin TD" ).

Would be awesome if you could upload the test map!

Thanks in advance!

Edit
Or could you just link the trigger?

If i dont wrong, the roc named 'human campaign' instead of 'alliance campaign'
The bonus campaign, where kael, and lady vhaj escort blood elven's citizen to 'outland', where the aeon of strife begin, it's like tower defence, but with some additional option
you must find, the secret level powerup to enable that campaign
