[Trigger] Buying stats through triggers

[Veldris]

Hello how can i make a trigger that does as follow.


-agi XX
-str XX
-int XX

i made a starting trigger but i don't know what to do next.

• LevelingSystem
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -agi as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering player) Current lumber) Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: WORKING
        • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Hero - Modify Agility of (Picked unit): Add (Length of (Entered chat string))
      • Else - Actions

like this?

Very close! but you should read how substring works: Substring - Wikipedia

The issue you have now is that "agi 3" is not an integer

isn't there another post with substrings tutorial? instead of wikipedia its kind hard to deal with wikipedia

• Hero - Modify Agility of (Picked unit): Add (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string))))))

 

[Veldris]

• Hero - Modify Agility of (Picked unit): Add (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string))))))

Why did you use 6?

• Hero - Modify Agility of (Picked unit): Add (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string))))))

And also i want to remove that amount that the player put into AGI is that possible? from lets say Gold or lumber

nvm figured it out by myself THANKS!

Hey man i've got a problem this only sets the current lumber to the number you entered

• LevelingSystem
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -agi as A substring
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering player) Current lumber) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Set Agi = (Substring(Agi, 1, 99))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Items\AIam\AIamTarget.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Player - Add ((Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))) - ((Triggering player) Current lumber)) to (Triggering player) Current lumber
        • Hero - Modify Agility of (Picked unit): Add (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string))))))

it doesn't take away the number.

If I understood correctly, you want to convert lumber to stats, is that right ?

yes

You're doing Agility - Lumber.

If you have 100 lumber, and type -agi 10, it will do 10 - 100, which is equal to -90.

So don't do "Agility - Triggering player current lumber", instead multiply the Agility value by -1 so it subtracts it.

It should look like: "Add (Agility * -1) to triggering players current lumber".

You also want to make sure that a player has enough Lumber to afford how much agility they typed. An If Then Else can handle this:

If Triggering Player current lumber >= Agility THEN run the actions

You could make the Else add Agility equal to your current lumber, so if you have 10 lumber, and type -agi 11, it will add up to the maximum instead (10).

I recommend setting the Agility Substring value as an Integer variable so it's easier to work with. It's a pain in the ass having to go through that substring process multiple times.

Your Agi variable should be equal to this: (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string))))))

Then you can reference Agi throughout the trigger.

ok i did as you said and it seems its working.

• AGI
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -agi as A substring
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering player) Current lumber) Greater than 0

    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)

        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Player - Add ((Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))) x -1) to (Triggering player) Current lumber
        • Hero - Modify Agility of (Picked unit): Add (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string))))))

All works now anything else to watch out for?

 

[Uncle]

1) the Agi variable you have right now does nothing
2) it doesn't check to see if a player has enough lumber (I assume you want this)

but there is a condition that checks if the player has greater than a 0

 

[Uncle]

So if you type -agi 100, and only have 1 lumber, it will still add 100 agility.

See what I mean? There's nothing preventing the player from "cheating".

Screenshot - f035a8c482b3cef161d416a696f4f64e - Gyazo this fixed it for me i can't write -agi 101 when i have only 100 lumber
