[General] could anybody help me with this map

[andreasaspenberg]

there is at least one error that doesnt make any sense. i have changed the map so that the obelisk can be healed but, whenever i try to heal it the game acts like it isnt there so i dont get any effect. another issue is that i need items to transfer when units transform. please help me out by looking at the map.

 

[Gojira2000]

Is this a trigger problem or a WC3 bug? (if the former can I get a screen shot of the trigger)

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the item issue is trigger related but the other issue i dont understand at all.

Loss of attachment point.

another issue is that i need items to transfer when units transform.

Store item type/stacks in variables.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i tried to use a variable to store the item and then recall it but it didnt do anything. how can i fix a loss of attachment point.

 

[Vinz]

Edit the model in Magos'. Node Manager -> Create Attachment

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i dont believe that it is a model issue because earlier it was possible to heal it with the repair spell. that makes it logical to assume that the issue is caused by something else. the item issue need to be solved as well. i am planning to upload a new version on saturday so i dont have a lot of time so please hurry with helping me fix the issues.

 

[Vinz]

Sadly, I don't know what else could have caused that.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

then just help me with the item issue instead.

Obelisk is basicly a doodad or w/e? Why should attaching effects work for it?

You can try to test if it can have or not... try to create effects via trigger at the position where you want it. If it doesnt work, then maybe model cant have any.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the obelisk is using a custom model developed for a similar project but the creator of the project is likely dead but because the model was built for a similar project where it was likely healable it makes it unlikely to have any issues. i do however also need items to be kept when units transform so please help me with both.

 

[IcemanBo]

Before transform:
drop each item and save each into a variable

After transform:
give your new unit now the before saved items

to be efficient you can use one item[aray] variable and loop from 1 to 6 for droping,storing and re-give item

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i tried to make the unit drop the item before it transformed but it didnt drop it. the trigger is still in the map though in the transform into gnome trigger.

 

[IcemanBo]

if you would post the code, pls (ppl are lazy always to download maps for only looking at a trigger)

[IcemanBo]

How to easily post triggers .. please read this for next time.

I dont see event, so I guess event is sth like: Unit starts effect of an ability (?)

If player has not enough gold --> unit will be replaced by a golem? :s

This tmp_bool you use is useless

You leak location. Read this: Things that leak

You dont save dropped item into a variable, and you only do action for slot 1.

Generally you should restructure this trigger by your own a bit, I think.

If you have done these points and there is a problem, post trigger again.

Edit: Also because for now its not very easy to read this trigger.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the program had glitched so i couldnt see the entire trigger. here is the entire trigger.

[Vinz]

Don't use TempBoolean, then use TriggerPlayer for Owner of Trigger Unit.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

if i dont use that then the unit will be deselected when it is done transforming.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i still need help with this topic and this issue have already caused me to be behind schedule. please help me out.

 

[IcemanBo]

Until you don't work though what ppl told you, you cant await help.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i listen but some times people are simply wrong. the obelisk could be "healed" with the repair spell but that wasnt what i wanted so i changed it to the healing spell but after that it couldnt be targeted for some reason. tempboolean is needed in order to make the unit remain selected after its transformation. you are welcome to suggest a better way though. i need units to keep items when they are transforming and i dont know how.(the methods i have tried is in the trigger i posted.) the healing problem i figured out on my own at last. i was right that it wasnt a model problem. it was an error in the object data for the obelisk.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the healing issue is solved.(it was an error in the obelisk data in the object editor.) i still need help with the item issue though.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

could someone please help me out with the item issue. i need items to transfer when units transform into other units.
