[Trigger] Buildings close together

[Supermj]

Hmm... this is suppost to make buildings only be built close together... what's wrong?

What's it doing? What isn't it doing? Does it work at all? You need to provide more information.

Also, this trigger is needlessly massive. You can say "Game - Display to Player (Owning Player of Triggering Unit) for 2.00 seconds the message: "blah". You don't need that psychotic if/then statement. Also, you probably aren't getting messages because you're displaying messages to player groups, not individual players.

So do this:

• Else-Actions
• Game - Display to Owning Player of Triggering Unit for 2.00 seconds the text: "Text here".

Instead of that stupid If/Then chain.

NOTE: My GUI action may not be exactly how it's written in the editor. I never code with GUI any more, so I'm foggy, but it should be something along those lines nontheless.

As far as i understand it, it should look for other buildings nearby, if there is no building the current constructed building should be destroyed.

Note:
count is a integer variable
tmplocation is a point variable

• TrickyTrigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set count = 0
    • Set tmplocation = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of tmplocation matching (((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set count = (count + 1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tmplocation)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • count Less than or equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Kill (Constructing structure)
        • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) the text: Your Message here
      • Else - Actions

This should work, didn't test it.

Ok, I didn't have time to explain earlier. It is a very simple idea - sort of like in command & conquer 3.

All buildings must be build close to another existing building that is owned by the same player as the unit building it. MUST BE A BUILDING, NOT A UNIT. That is why I had the

• (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Not equal to Main Builder

I would make one of those for every unit (Is there an easier way?). Also, I made all buildings have no pathing requirements, so buildings are essentially custom made. It really looks like a real castle.​

So, I changed that trigger to try and make it work better, and got this:

• Buildings close together
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Count = 0
    • Set TP = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of TP) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Picked unit))
            • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Not equal to Main Builder
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Count = (Count + 1)
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TP)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Count Less than 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Kill (Constructing structure)
        • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) for 4.00 seconds the text: You must build buil...
      • Else - Actions

I ran across the same problem... No matter what I do, where I place a building, it does what it's suppost to do if I place it near - it lets me build it....

Its a simple logic gate

IF (The Main Builter) within X of unit( That is a building) then build
If Not stop building
Endif

Awww... that helped so much!
