[mamoeb]

I currently working on single player RPG, and... here is simple system that I created for map.

i have only rus WE, so you may not understand half of trigger text. sorry for that.
added comments (marked as //comment) hope it gonna help u.

skip trigger

• skip
  • События
    • Боевая единица - Raider 0002 <gen> Отдал приказ (цель - объект)
    • Боевая единица - Raider 0002 <gen> Отдал приказ (цель - точка)
    • Боевая единица - Raider 0002 <gen> Отдал приказ (без указания цели)
  • Условия
  • Действия
    • Триггер - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Set skip = Да

emmm.... the point is .... ok, look.
unit attack another unit.
event "unit get attacked" runs exactly in moment, when attack animation start playing. (i mean it run before unit get damage, or arrow of attacking unit release)
so.
you can give order to attack enemy, your unit start aiming (trigger runs) and.. you push S button. unit canceled attack, but trigger create arrow on attacked unit anyway.
this is the point. when unit take another order while he fighting, trigger will turn special variable on, and main trigger gonna stop after "wait" action

ffhhhhhhh i finished
believe me, write this is mooooar difficult that read

ok, and finally ingame screenshot

This detects damage, which ALWAYS occurs AFTER your attacks/spells.

• Damage
• Events
• Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
• Conditions
• Actions
• Trigger - Add to DamageHeal <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

• DamageHeal
• Events
• Conditions
• //Just make sure the Damage Source is your bowman
• Actions

And so, paste your actions and conditions into DamageHeal.

 

[Zanekok]

Its looking cool but i dont know anything from tiggers and after many shots it will lag game.

 

[GhostThruster]

A unit enters (Playable Map Area)-so when a unit is created, trained, summoned, whatever, it will be known as 'Triggering Unit'.
Trigger - Add to DamageHeal <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)-Adds the event to DamageHeal so that when 'Triggering Unit', which should be any unit ever to appear on the map, takes damage, it fires the trigger.

Триггер - Turn on skip <gen>
//skip trigger very important. gonna show him later
Set skip = Нет
Set RANDOM = (Random integer number between 0 and 4)
Set distance = (Distance between (Position of (Attacked unit)) and (Position of (Attacking unit)))
Wait (0.40 + (distance / 4000.00)) seconds
//wait synhronize trigger with flying arrow. number 4000 depends on missle speed. (4000 good for 2500)

GhostThruster, thanks a lot! i didn't knew anything about this command before.
this is realy useful, and will make system more simple. gonna try it right now.

Zanekok, thank you.
yes it will, but i can remake it for multi-player maps.
hmmm... one simple action gonna remove all lags

if, then, blablabla
special effect: create arrow
special effect: destroy last created spec effect

arrow will decay 4-5 seconds, and then disappear
(in my map hero just can't shoot as many arrows as needed to lag computer)

 

[mamoeb]

it doesn't work.
dunno, may be i did something wrong.

here is 2 trigger like you say:

1
event: unit - unit enters (playable map area)
conditions: nothing
actions: trigger - add to <trigger 2> the event (unit - triggering unit recieve damage)

2
event: nothing
conditions: damage source is my hero
actions: not matter, thay just not work

i think, problem is here: event: unit - unit enters (playable map area)
how can it affect all units in map? i though, this is event for single units

then i do this:
1
event: unit - unit enters (playable map area)
conditions: none
actions: set "variable" = triggering unit
show text - variable converted to string "variable"

aaaand nothing happens.
what i do wrong?

---------------------

ok, i make it work.

• start
  • event�
    • unit - A unit Ð�under attack½
  • conditions¸Ñ�
    • some useless for ya stuff
  • actionsÑ�
    • Set currentattackedUNIT = (Attacked unit)
    • trigger add the action to <impact> "currentattackedUNIT recieve damage"

• impact
  • actions�
    • nothing
  • conditions
    • (Damage source) is Raider 0002 <gen>
  • actions
    • actions, that create spec effectes

looks cool, no wait, no massive code
only one thing I'm worried:

• trigger add the action to <impact> "currentattackedUNIT recieve damage"

it will add action every time any unit get attacked.
will it spawn endlessly, and cause lag?

 

[GhostThruster]

Only if you don't leak-proof it. Isn't that what you wanted? So that every time the unit is attacked, an arrow appears in his chest. I know other ways so that a maximum of 1 arrow can appear on each unit, if you want to know that.

 

[mamoeb]

ah, no. i mean this:

at begining trigger looks like this:
trigger
event
condition
action
<spawn effects>

later

trigger
event
unit recieve damage
condition
action
<spawn effects>

later

trigger
event
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
condition
action
<spawn effects>

and so on
i mean, every time unit attacked, trigger creates new event.
or it's not?
