BIG question

[Death_bringer_2]

I'm making a World Trade Center game, and I want to make a required quest where you have to put out all the fires. You have to do this in 30 minutes, and if you don't when 30 minutes rolls around, you lose.

How can I do this? And, I want a certain sound to play if you lose. How do I do this also?


Thanks

Make a timer and set it to expire in 30 mins.

Then when it expires make it check if the fires are still there and if they are show credits/end game.

How do I make it check if all the fires are there?

Oh, and also, this is off topic but, when I make my alliance triggers for all 10 human players, and a computer player, it only allies 3 other human players with me, and I'm not allies with the other 6 human players, and the computer. What could be wrong?

Well depends on how you are simulating the fires. If the fires are units then you do a:

• Event: FireTimer Expires
• Conditions:
• Actions: Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Footman) and do (If (((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True) then do (Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: Defeat!) else do (Do nothing))

Ok, how did you get the event trigger like that?

Step by step please.

You have to make a varible for the timer. Go to the Variables and find Timer and you can name it w/e you want.

And what do you do after that?

After I pick the footman that I'm going to make be the fire, how do I make it "And do (If (((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to true) then do (game-Defeat player 1 (red) with the message: Defeat!) (Do nothing)???

You find the event that is titled "if/then/else" at the top of the events.

Ya, I found it, and did it, all accept the "if alive" part. How do i do that?

 

[James7]

You have to make the IF a condition..
