[Trigger] Cancelled Building

[Zyhael]

Scenario:
1. A neutral hostile barracks with watchtowers around it is destroyed by Player1(computer).
2. A peon(player1) begins constructing barracks on same spot neutral hostile barracks was in.
3. If construction is completed, watchtowers spawn around it.
4. If construction is interrupted/player2(computer) or other players destroys the constructing building, peon(player1) returns to base and a new barracks(player2) is constructed on the spot using peon(player2).

I have established 1,2,3. However at when I arrive at 4, I'm not sure what triggers to use, is it cancelled building?
I tested my map and it goes like this, player 1 destroy barracks, barracks(player1) is being built, player3 destroys constructing barracks, player1 peon stands around, player2 peon begins building barracks. Player1 destroys constructing barracks, nothing happens. It just stops there.

Am I doing it right? :O

i don't understand your scenario

 

[Ofel]

yeah me too... :/
you should post all triggers used for this scenario...

Scenario:
I tested my map and it goes like this, player 1 destroy barracks, barracks(player1) is being built, player3 destroys constructing barracks, player1 peon stands around, player2 peon begins building barracks. Player1 destroys constructing barracks, nothing happens. It just stops there.

in this part ( I don't understand ). All i heard in this part is: destroy,destroy,barracks,barracks,player,destroy,player1,player2. Pls Elaborate, Explain or at least give some screenshots.

It is difficult to understand you, but I think I've understood from reading it a few times is...

What you want to happen: When the original neutral barracks dies, the killing player may use their peon to build their own barracks at the old location. During the process of building if a player's barracks is killed, the peon is sent back home, and the new killing player may use their peon to build a barracks.

What is actually happening: (I'm guessing that unless you've ordered the computer to cancel building when the construction gets low that it doesn't so) Nothing is happening. Your trigger is never firing because the building dies, it does not get cancelled.

I know nothing of your map so I can't speak to it, but you should definitely look into fixing leaks, and the basics of loops. Right now if the owner of the player is Red, it's sent back to reds base, if it is not red, it is sent to blues base, you refenced in your example teal, I'm fairly certain teal does not want to be sent to blues base. Using a loop will allow you save the region's of red to brown and correctly send the peon home, without 12 long IFs.

player2 and player3 are allies

I made a spot where there is this neutral barracks with watchtowers
there are two sides, good(computer+players) and bad(computer)
it's kinda like capture the base.
if one group destroys the neutral base, the base rebuilds and is on the side that destroyed it.
since it has a construction time, if ever it is interrupted, the group that destroys it again owns the place.
something like that if you get it :/

Where do you define Target_loc_BCLD[1]?

 

[Zyhael]

The spot where the neutral building is, it's a relatively larger area than just the barracks

sorry about the triggers, fixed it

No,
I don't mean the region. Target_loc_BCLD[1] is a point that you use in your trigger, but I can't see where you set it.

Yes, I just realized, I've fixed my previous post to reflect that, sorry about that.

So, all is working?

tbh you can simplify the "Watch Tower CLD"

• Actions
  • Set pl = (Triggering player)
  • For each (Integer LoopInt) from 1 to 4, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set loc = (Target_loc_BCLD offset by 350.00 towards (90.00 x (Real(LoopInt))) degrees)
      • Unit - Create 1 Watch Tower for pl at loc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • pl Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Move Red_Peon instantly to (Center of Red Builders <gen>)
    • Else - Actions
      • Unit - Move Blue_Peon instantly to (Center of Blue Builders <gen>)
  • Custom script: set udg_loc = null

loc is point variable
pl is player variable
LoopInt is integer variable

As you can see, taking advantage of loops, you don't have to create 4 locations in an array.

Nope, It doesn't work.. when a constructing building owned by player1 is destroyed, player1's peon just stands there, player2's peon begins constructing, and if that constructing structure is destroyed, nothing happens, nothing builds. I'll try to get screens up

tbh you can simplify the "Watch Tower CLD"

Will work on that.. thank you

Red Player Attacks Neutral

Teal Player Attacks Constructing Red Barracks

...

as you can see, the red peon just stands there...
