Auto Power-ups Pickup System {picking up an item instantly if it is in 100 range}

[kmde613]

The Title says it all. I need a system where

Every .2 seconds of th game, if a unit is in 100 range between a power-up (ill be using the "gold" powerup), the item is automatically used or whatsoever.

So if i had a unit walk over an item thats a power up specifically, the power up is automatically picked up.

I have seen this system before on Pyramid Escape (the "pac-man" challenge thingy) so i'm sure this is possible ^^

Hmmm, first tell me if the item spawns on the region, or does it spawn on totally random spot.

Well there is the action: Pick every item. So you should be able to pick every item in range of (what you want) of your hero. Then you just have to check whether it is a powerup and then

remove it -> create the same item for the trig unit.

So far i've made this, but it's not working :S Also it leaks and it's only for one player

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
  • Actions
    • Item - Pick every item in (Entire map) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-class of (Picked item)) Equal to Powerup
            • (Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Position of (Picked item))) Less than or equal to 100.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Hero - Give (Picked item) to (Triggering unit)
          • Else - Actions

If you're asking how the item spawns or are created, items are created through when a unit type is killed.

Something like
A unit dies
Triggering unit type is a [Footoman] equal to True
Create 1 [Gold Coin(Small)] on position of [Triggering Unit]

Bumped
I need this again.

Make it to be unit with 0-0 damage and 100 range. Then have a trigger with "Unit is attacked" and "attacking unit equal to Powerup".

Sorry. I don't understand.

 

[Super-Sheep]

Liek dis.

 

[kmde613]

Liek dis.

Thanks I tried the Map, Yet, the problem is the owner isnt getting gold.

Thanks anyways. I think this will be used for future maps.
+ Rep ^_^

 

[Super-Sheep]

You can add it to actions by yourself, cant you?

 

[Vizel]

If the problem is the person is not getting gold then simply add an action

Player - Add 20 to Player 1 (Red) Current gold

Something like that should add the gold for you. I didn't look at the map provided above, but if you add that in it should work with the gold, if the item you are picking up is gold.


Well, I had planned on giving u a trigger, but my WE decided to spazz out on me and break o.o

Hope this helps!

EDIT: I'm actually looking for a similar system myself for a project of mine, so I'll be keeping an eye on this Thread, ^^

EDIT 2: I worked with it a bit, built upon the trigger shown above to try and make this work, though i don't have time to test it, here we go.

You need 2 variables, a region variable, and an item array variable.

two triggers, one called drop item and one called pickup item.

• Drop Item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Footman
  • Actions
    • Item - Create Gold Coins at (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Set ItemDropped[1] = (Last dropped item)

and then (WARNING: The following trigger does not work - if anyone would care to fix it, please do. I do not know what is wrong with it):

• Pickup Item
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.30 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Point = (Playable map area)
    • Item - Pick every item in Point and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Multiple ConditionsAnd - All (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (Distance between (Position of (Picked unit)) and (Position of (Picked item))) Less than or equal to (<=) 100.00
                • (Item-class of (Picked item)) Equal to (==) Powerup
          • Then - Actions
            • Item - Remove ItemDropped[1]
            • Player - Add 100 to (Owner of (Matching unit)) Current gold
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing

EDIT: I just tried to test it upon returning home, and it doesn't work. Maybe someone can fix it? I'm not certain what exactly is wrong with it, but I'm thinking I have made some silly little mistake somewhere that causes the whole thing to not work.
