Anyone know a good tutorial for me?

[Fredfredburgers]

Im looking for a neat tutorial on how to make a TOTALLY random hero selector. im using dialog and dialog btns. but i cnt seem to get a random one working. i try make Int_Var a "random" number between 1 and 24 then if certain number u get this hero. 1 thing... it always ends up on 19

so what im asking does anyone know a good tutorial for random integers or something so i can get a RANDOM hero.

Your trigger has to look like this:

Note that RandomInteger is integer variable.

• Random Hero
  • Events
    • -------- Events here --------
  • Conditions
    • -------- Conditions here --------
  • Actions
    • Set RandomInteger = (Random integer number between 1 and 24)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • RandomInteger Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- Hero Creating Actions here (Create hero 1) --------
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • RandomInteger Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- Hero Creating Actions here (Create hero 2) --------
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • RandomInteger Equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- Hero Creating Actions here (Create hero 3) --------
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- And so on... --------

''RandomInteger Equal to 1'' is located in ''Integer Comparison''

i did EXACTLY THAT *cough* how u print the screen like that ><

 

[chilla_killa]

It's not a mistake in the triggers, it's a problem of the editor.
When you test your map, the game always takes the same random number; in your case 19. But it will be right working in a game on battlenet or sumthing like that. I think you can change in the world editor somewhere at Advanced to not take always the same number. Maybe someone else knows.

Right click on trigger name, click on ''Copy as Text'' and paste it between trigger tags ([(TRIGGER][(/TRIGGER] Without ''('' ).

 

[Bu113t]

gulp i dnt think i worked XD can u type it in like

• (paste here)[TRIGGER] or however you do it...[/QUOTE]
• its supposed to be [(TRIGGER] TEXT [/TRIGGER)] without ()
• remember the /

In previous trigger, you are creating new If in else.


Instead of this;

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • RandomHero Equal to 23
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Paladin for (Triggering player) at ((Triggering player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • RandomHero Equal to 23
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- And so on... --------
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • RandomHero Equal to 23
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- And so on... --------

It has to look like this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • RandomHero Equal to 23
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Paladin for (Triggering player) at ((Triggering player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees

    • RandomHero Equal to 23
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- And so on... --------
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • RandomHero Equal to 23
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- And so on... --------

actually, good sir, they call it an "if-else" ladder. It's commonly used in programming languages like C++. The beauty of the if-else ladder is when a condition is actually found to be true, the rest of the ladder is ignored. I would imagine that would make an if-else ladder more efficient than a set of 24 if statements.

I mean, if you don't use the if-else ladder, the if-else system is only half as useful >.>

If you could clarify why you don't like if-else ladders, that would clear up some confusion on my end xD

EDIT:

all the paladins WILL be changed later on

from a quick look, your trigger looks like it works.

 

[Fredfredburgers]

well heres why i dnt like if-ladder, when you do if laddrer long enuf you start curving right and then you gotta start scrolling left and right and not just up and down

 

[drowelf]

haha, well that is a bit of an issue, but I was more of talking to Child_0f_Bodom because hea advised that you stay away from them.

 

[Fredfredburgers]

wana know wats "funner" then randoming a hero.... making a hero kill hero, hero deaths, and hero kills units multiboard for 12 players......well over 500 actions

{EDIT}
Current Mission:
Invitable Massacre-
Terrain: complete
Units: 5%
Triggers & Misc: 25%

(please tell me if game sounds like a game u'd want to try if you see it)

 

[drowelf]

2 things:
1 - Please start using the "edit" function when you have something else to add to your post.
2 - I would have to see the game to see if i was interested xD

 

[Fredfredburgers]

i mean say ur bored and ur in lookin around at custom games and you come across one named "Inevitable Massacre". does that game "attract" you? or is it a boring or stupid name?

{EDIT}
also i got another problem here too on defeat conditions.

[Bu113t]

well before I say anythign else use the fucking EDIT button, you have already double posted like 6 times in this thread.


and when your creating a condition scroll down to the Or multiple, and put all the conditiond in there.
and you leak in pick every unit
