Ally system

[dosehunter]

Hey i'm making a map where i want an ally system so when a player ex. type
-ally blue blue will then have to confirm this so the player can't just
ally everyone because that would be very anoying is it possible to make
this and if can you show me an example???
That would be great.
THX.

what to write when you play with another computer/player i cant get it working wasn't it -ally blue and then blue had to type -ally red???

With a computer you can't do dialogs, seeing as they don't click, you'd have to do a player controller comparison in there to detect a computer and automatically ally up if the player types -ally blue and blue is a computer.

• Events:
  • Player - (Triggering player) enters a message with (-ally blue) as a substring
• Conditions:
• Actions:
  • Trigger - Turn on (Ally Blue)

• Events:
  • Time - Elapsed time is 1 second
• Conditions:
• Actions:
  • If all (Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else actions)
    • Conditions:
      • Player - ((Player 2 Blue) Controller) Equal to User
    • Then - Actions:
      • Run your dialog here.
    • Else - Actions:
      • If all (Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else actions)
        • Conditions:
          • Player - ((Player 2 Blue) Controller) Equal to Computer
        • Then - Actions:
          • Player - Make (Player 2 Blue) treat (Player 1 Red) as an (Ally with shared vision)
        • Else - Actions:
          • Do Nothing

There's a more efficient way of doing that, I'm not too trigger savy, but there'll be someone who'll come by that'll fix that up to be one trigger that's MUI.

 

[dosehunter]

sory i think we missunderstod eachother i meant can you make a system so when i type -ally blue (and you are blue) you'll have to say -ally red before we get allys i know how to make basicly but i dont know how to do this.
THX

 

[AyeKantSpel]

In that case, use variables, as a boolean value.
When one player types -ally blue, set their value to true, when the other player types ally red, set their value to true.
Have a trigger that runs every time -ally blue or -ally red is typed to check conditions (both values being equal to true being the condition that fires the trigger) and upon firing the trigger setting each player to alliance status with eachother.

[Dr Super Good]

Use hashtables to map player strings to players (or their slot numbers). This removes the need for multiple selection and improves the system to O(1) efficency.

You should also add a timer to prevent requests being sent more than once a minute. You should also consider defaulting everyone to allied to prevent mass allience spam early on. That way it will only be a few war declerations from those who want to fight at the start which do not need confirmation (a more polished feel).

 

[SA Dashie]

with the system I made the request can only be sent once until reply but can be egnored if the player doesnt simply respond to wanting to be allied. anyway I forgot to even test to see if itll work and maybe I'll fix because I think it'll be the best system to do this instead of just puting up dialogs to anoy the player and also distract the player from the game itself. And remember I don't mind wasting time for other peoples uses

edit: heres your final system completely working

this trigger should be 100% bug free but I havnt tested it with another player but I had my own way of working around it. Anyway I hope you still want the system.And remember I never give up on something I now I can do!
