[Trigger] Attack Once

[dimitri231]

The trigger basically is, A unit enter region
Region equal to region000<gen>
Order Cannon to (here, how to attack ground once) position of cannon offset by 700 towards 90 degrees.

 

[Feroc1ty]

And what's the problem...?

 

[Hetalar]

Could try creating an invisible creature at the towers position offset by 700 towards 90 degrees, give the tower splash damage (or which ever effect you are trying to create here) and order the tower to attack the created creature. Wait until the creatures health is below 100%, order the tower to stop.

To handle multiple players walking into the region either create a counter for how many times to fire, or create a boolean preventing it from firing again until the previous shot has been fired.

I think he needs the string for "Attack ground".

Here is the trigger:

• Cannon
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (YourRegion)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = ((Position of (Cannon)) offset by 700.00 towards 90.00 degrees)
    • Unit - Order (Cannon) to Attack Ground TempPoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

The string for attack ground order is: "attackground"

 

[Pharaoh_]

He knows how to attack ground; his problem is how to attack ground once. We already have the "Attack once"; what about the "Attack ground once"? Since it doesn't exist, he needs another solution.
@dimitri, you can make a damage detection system (-as always-), where you get the damage source type; if it is equal to your cannon, then kill damage source.
So, it would go like:

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Temp_Group - (Units in (Playable Map Area))
  • Unit Group - Pick up every unit in (Temp_Group) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Trigger - Add to Trigger3 <gen> the event (Unit - (Picked unit) takes damage)
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Temp_Group)

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters (Playable Map Area)
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Unit1 = (Triggering unit)
  • Trigger - Add to Trigger3 <gen> the event (Unit - (Unit1) takes damage)

• Trigger3
• Events
• Conditions
  • ((Unit-type) of (Damage Source)) Equal to Cannon
• Actions
  • Unit - Kill (Damage source)

Couldn't you also just add:

action
-unit - order unit to stop

After the action that triggers it to attack? Wait/cooldown of cannon can be manipulated to time the stop to happen after the cannon already fires.

why not use jassnewgen pack?
it has a "attack once" command

 

[dimitri231]

Jassnewgen pack doesnt work with me, i use Vista.
Pharaoh@ idont think this is solve the problem..
Child_ofBloom@ the cannon is going to still atacking.
LlamanamedOsama@ i will try it..
F3cority@the problem is the attack ground once
Hetalar@ this solution could solve, but it would be very big since i have 8 towers.

 

[MeKC]

Weird. It works on Windows 7.

But Newgen dont have anything that WE dont have.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

JNGP has tons of stuff the standard WE doesn't have. What are you talking about?
