[Trigger] Anyway to make these triggers work for 8 regions instead of 1

[GenoHacker]

I have these 2 triggers working for the region Creep Spawn One, but there are 7 more regions that need to have the same actions happen, the only difference would be the array number of ConquestPointsTick1 and ConquestPointsTick2, array 1 being Creep Spawn One and so on.

Now i could make 16 triggers, 8 Enter triggers and 8 Leave triggers, but i want to know if its possible to do it using less triggers, preferable two triggers

• Point Enter
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Creep Spawn One <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Entering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
        • ((Unit-type of (Entering unit)) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set ConquestPointsTick1[1] = (ConquestPointsTick1[1] + 1)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Entering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 7 (Green)) Equal to True
        • ((Unit-type of (Entering unit)) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set ConquestPointsTick2[1] = (ConquestPointsTick2[1] + 1)
      • Else - Actions

Spoiler

• Point Leave
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves Creep Spawn One <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Entering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
        • ((Unit-type of (Entering unit)) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set ConquestPointsTick1[1] = (ConquestPointsTick1[1] - 1)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Entering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 7 (Green)) Equal to True
        • ((Unit-type of (Entering unit)) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set ConquestPointsTick2[1] = (ConquestPointsTick2[1] - 1)
      • Else - Actions

Feels like an ugly solution to begin with.


Why is conquestPointsTick1/2 an array?

 

[GenoHacker]

Because their are 8 regions, so instead of 8 separate integer variables im using an array

Alright.

That does make it tricky in GUI.
My best idea without making it complicated would be something like:

Trigger 1

Events

on map init​

Actions

set regions[0] = region1
set regions[1] = region2
set regions[2] = region3
set count = 3

loop 1 to count

add unit enters regions[integerA/B] to Trigger 2
add unit leaves regions[integerA/B] to Trigger 3​

Trigger 2

Events:
Conditions:

((Unit-type of (Entering unit)) is A Hero) Equal to True​

Actions:

loop 1 to count

if regions[integerA/B] contains triggering unit equals true

if ((Entering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 7 (Green)) Equal to True

Set ConquestPointsTick1[integerA/B] = (ConquestPointsTick1[integerA/B] + 1)​

else if ((Entering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True

Set ConquestPointsTick2[integerA/B] = (ConquestPointsTick2[integerA/B] + 1)
​

Trigger 3 would be the same as 2 with swapped values for leaving region

When the Enter/Leave event runs the unit is often not inside the rect. One can catch that by placing a bigger rect for each rect in GUI.

if ((Entering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 7 (Green)) Equal to True

Set ConquestPointsTick1[integerA/B] = (ConquestPointsTick1[integerA/B] + 1)​

else if ((Entering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True

Set ConquestPointsTick2[integerA/B] = (ConquestPointsTick2[integerA/B] + 1)
​

Trigger 3 would be the same as 2 with swapped values for leaving region

This works perfectly thanks

I did this already in another thread so here:

For all others here are the triggers:

and the map.
Edit:
Improved the system again now you just need to enter your regions and the rest is done by the system itself.
