Bounty

[Thalassicus]

I noticed that if a unit is killed by an effect the player did not directly give the order to (such as a unit that kills something for them) they receive the bounty from kills, but the floating text is not displayed. Is there a way to get the floating text to display too, or is that only in a perfect world?

i don understand you. if a dummy kills it or something try to make an init trigger that have this action

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Player - Turn Gives bounty On for Neutral Hostile

im not sure what are u talking about

Hmmm, the text should display anways. If it does not then there is a probblem with something. If it really is a problem you should consider. . . well, you should consider that I have no idea how to fix this (sorry).

Really? Well... what I did to test it is I just had the units I script create (to cast a spell that kills targets), rather than being invisible and deleted afterwards like normal, I have them hang around once they're done.

If I select them and manually use their spell on targets, it displays bounty floating text with kills.

If the script orders them to cast the spell, it does not display the bounty floating text. Likewise with anything else, such as the 'cause unit to damage area' function, this is the case with everything I've tested. If a human gives the order, it shows bounty; if it's the computer, it does not.

It's the only thing that keeps me from doing lots of scripted damage, I want people to be able to see the bounty from their kills.

Hmmm. . . really eh?

The thing is that if unit AI kills a unit then the bounty is displayed. I thought that that was what you meant.

Aha,i understang right?You want bounce gold?When he is on killingspree you want bounce gold...i will try to make a trigger.

Bounce God? WTH is bounce gold???!!!

Please clarify.

Well the only thing i know is, that "bounce gold" doesn't exist.
For bounty, I (!) only had to check that the bounty is enabled for the enemy (means you get gold for kills ^^) and after calculate the appropriate amount of bounty in the object editor. And it really works fine

Incidentally, I figured out what the problem was should anyone encounter this in the future. Can't have user control disabled when dealing damage, or bounty does not display.
