Building Distance

[UnknownCallerID]

Hey wondering how to set a building distance so players cant build within 500 range of each other, mostly, a Specific builder cant build near buildings owned be enemy.

This is probably the simplest way to do it. I attached a map with the trigger.

• BuildingDistanceCheck
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Change the distance variable to the distance you want --------
    • -------- The building construction is cancelled if there are enemy buildings nearby. --------
    • -------- The resources are still used, so you need to refund the gold/lumber cost of the building. --------
    • -------- Unfortunetly there is no way to retrieve these costs directly, so you need to save these values somewhere. --------
    • -------- I find the easiest way is to use point value which you can set in the object editor for each building to correspond to the gold cost. --------
    • -------- If you need lumber cost as well you are probably better off saving all of the information in arrays. --------
    • Set VariableSet Distance = 500.00
    • Set VariableSet Point = (Position of (Constructing structure))
    • Set VariableSet TriggeringPlayer = (Owner of (Constructing structure))
    • Set VariableSet TriggeringUnit = (Constructing structure)
    • Set VariableSet UnitGroup = (Units within Distance of Point matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of TriggeringPlayer.) Equal to True)).)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of units in UnitGroup) Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Explode TriggeringUnit.
        • Player - Add (Point-value of TriggeringUnit) to TriggeringPlayer.Current gold
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (You cannot build within + ((String(Distance)) + range of enemy buildings.))
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_UnitGroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
