[Trigger] Ammo clip thing..

Steel_Stallion · Sep 5, 2008

Ok so i've got this ammo clipish system in my map. It uses this bullet system which I kinda made which works fine but the clip system doesnt.

No ammo is depleted from the user, I'm not even sure if reloading works because no ammo is removed so...

Anyway, this is a long list of triggers so bare with me:

Equpping
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions

      - Battlerifletrue[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] Equal to False
    - Then - Actions
      - Set Shotguntrue[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] = False
      - Set Battlerifletrue[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] = True
      - Sound - Play Reload <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to (Hero manipulating item)
      - Set Items[1] = (Item carried by (Casting unit) in slot 1)
      - Set Itemcharge[1] = (Charges remaining in (Item carried by (Casting unit) in slot 1))

        Set Items[6] = (Item carried by (Casting unit) in slot 6)
        
        Set Itemcharge[6] = (Charges remaining in (Item carried by (Casting unit) in slot 6))
        
        Unit - Set (Last replaced unit) acquisition range to 0.00
        
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Hero - Give Items[(Integer A)] to (Last replaced unit))
        
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Item - Set charges remaining in (Item carried by (Last replaced unit) in slot (Integer A)) to Itemcharge[(Integer A)])

        Else - Actions
        
        Do nothing

Shotguntrue and Battlerifletrue are Boolean arrays.

Items is an Item var (Duh) and Item charges is an integer.

This trigger is supposed to change the unit and equip him with the gun. I use the boolean for the other triggers.

        Else - Actions
        
        Do nothing

HasitemBR and Hasitemshotgun are integers. I used a kind of simplistic system so that you cannot have 2 guns of the same type at the same time by setting your integer (player number based) to the current + 1, so if it equals 2 you cannot aquire another one of that gun, and when you lose a gun its -1 so its 0 again. This is preset in init as 0. Also it sets the Shotgun and Battlerifle item vars when you aquire the item so it can be used in other triggers

        Then - Actions

This is the reloading trigger. Where if you use an item (Shotgun shells or Rifle clips) it reloads either the shotgun or Battlerifle respectivly.

The booleans here are used because I want the hero to only be able to reload the gun if he is actually using it. Here I used the Item vars (Shotgun and Battlerifle) that I set earlier.

        Else - Actions

This one is just so that you cannot have 2 of the same gun. This one seems to be working but I'd thought I might include it anyway..

What this does is that, if you are equipped a gun and drop it you are replaced with a weaponless marine. I think this one should be working..

This is the no ammo + removing ammo when firing trigger. This one doesnt work due to the fact that no ammo (Charges) are removed when firing. Im not sure if the hero is prevented from attacking because I've never run out of ammo since it doesnt deplete.

Ya thats pretty much it... This is my first time trying to make a system like this and I just winged it and guessed how it was made putting together this piece of larf.

Equipping the gun works fine, drop/aquire detection seems to work. But charges or ammo doesnt deplete from the gun when fired.

So any ideas? I hope someone bothers to read through all of this mess... (Ya i'm a messy triggerer)

No ammo is depleted from the user, I'm not even sure if reloading works because no ammo is removed so...

Anyway, this is a long list of triggers so bare with me:

Equpping

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Battlerifle

Battlerifletrue[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] Equal to False

You should try with "Battlerifletrue[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Equal to False".

What? I dont get what you mean.

Elven_God · Sep 6, 2008

Its because "[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))]" is when the

Event is

Uses/Acquires/Loses An Item (now the

Event is A unit Starts the effect of an ability)... so the best way (i think) is:

Equpping
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
- Conditions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Ability being cast) Equal to Battlerifle

OH!

Wow I feel stupid, all those lines must have screwed me up. Ill go fix that.

Edit: Equpping the weapon works fine, so even though I fixed that condition it didnt change anything.

Ill make it clear: My problem is that when the unit attacks he is not losing ammunition (Or charges) from the item. He's supposed to lose X charges from the equipped weapon when he fires, and then using a reload ability get them back.

[Trigger] Ammo clip thing..
