[Trigger] Couple of Q's

[TM-Magic]

I'm working on an RTS with different resource types for each race. My first question is...what takes up more space...units or destructibles? My second problem is...my trigger for collecting the food resource works, but tells all the gathering workers to gather food from that specific source...

What I mean is, if I have 1 worker gathering food, it works properly, but if I have 2 gathering from 2 different spots, 1 of them will go over to the first worker and gather there instead. How do I get him not to do that? If at all possible, I don't want to use a huge array with a counter to separate out the workers. :/

Here's the Trigger.

• Counting Food
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to |c00aa9900T|rausri |c00aa9900E|rlder
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Destructible-type of (Target destructible of issued order)) Equal to *Bush
            • (Destructible-type of (Target destructible of issued order)) Equal to *Mushroom
            • (Destructible-type of (Target destructible of issued order)) Equal to *Vegtable
            • (Destructible-type of (Target destructible of issued order)) Equal to *Wild Grain
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Doodad_Life = (Current life of (Target destructible of issued order))
        • Wait until ((Current life of (Target destructible of issued order)) Less than Doodad_Life), checking every 0.30 seconds
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: smart issued
        • Unit - Increase level of Food Count for (Ordered unit)
        • Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Stop
        • Wait 0.10 seconds
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Level of Food Count for (Ordered unit)) Not equal to 20
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Right-Click (Target destructible of issued order)
          • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

I have a theory it has to do with the fact you're using waits, so Ordered Unit and Target Destructible of Issued Order are possibly different after the wait finishes.

Try using Triggering Unit.

 

[TM-Magic]

Already tried it I'm afraid

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

You will need to make a variable for the "ordered unit" like this..

• Set (unit variable) = Ordered Unit

I can't gurentee that will work it may just be a longer route to what your doing but that may help..

"Target destructible of issued order" is a global.

 

[TM-Magic]

Yeh, I suppose I'll have to store it :/ was hopping there was an easier way.
What about sizes? Units vs Doodads?

 

[The Reborn Devil]

I think doodads takes less space.

 

[TM-Magic]

I would like a definate answer about the space thing if possible...I mean how much do they take up exactly.

I am not sure about that but if you want the workers to harvest you must use destructibles/doodads unless you want to see a lot of lifebars when you click alt.
Anyway, if I am not wrong, I think destructibles takes about 60 bytes less filesize than units.
Now, you could give the unit the ability to train something then disable the training of that unit. That way your peasant should have a rally-point. Use the rally point to mark which destructible you want the peasant to harvest. Then replace ordered unit with triggering unit (not sure ifit works but its MUI).
