It might help if you said where you exactly need help with. Do you need to know how to create such a trigger, or does your trigger fail somewhere? If so, you need to tell us exactly what's not working.

 

[Acvong]

sorry. well i tried using it but it doesn't work so if anyone could help me make a new workable trigger like this one or maybe help me fix this one, im not sure wats wrong with it but i think its something to do with the conditions.

 

[onix_noob]

first give your trigger the corect way and when we look at it we will help you

 

[Avator]

With the correct way, I think onix_noob means you should Copy As Text and paste here in a '[ trigger ] [ /trigger ]' tag.

What exactly does the trigger do now? Does it do absolutely nothing, or is it still acting, but doing something different then it should? If somethings different, tell us what exactly it is doing.

Okie Dokie... I've done a few CTF maps before.. And the hardest/complex/most annoying part of it, is just making sure allies cant pick your flag up (unless away from home [where its supposed to be]) and everything else like that...

What I would suggest is basing the trigger off the flag item.. If you've based it all off regions then the game won't flow naturally like a CTF.

So to do with your problem, I've chucked together this trigger here (hope it helps)

• Ally Pickup
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Human Flag
    • ((Owner of (Hero manipulating item)) is in Team_Humans) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • HumanFlagOutOfBase Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 2.00 seconds the text: Congrats! You returned your flag!
        • Set HumanFlagOutOfBase = 0
      • Else - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) for 2.00 seconds the text: Cannot pick up your own flag

And then: (This sets up when an enemy picks it up)

• Enemy Pickup
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Human Flag
    • ((Owner of (Hero manipulating item)) is in Team_Orcs) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set HumanFlagOutOfBase = 1
    • Set HumanFlagBearer = (Hero manipulating item)
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 2.00 seconds the text: Your flag has been been stolen!

Then: (When Unit dies)

• OnDeath
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Dying unit) Equal to HumanFlagBearer
  • Actions
    • Set HumanFlagBearer = No unit
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 2.00 seconds the text: Human Flag has been dropped

Obviously dont display the text to everyone though...
If you need help triggering the rest of it, let me know.. You can simplify it quite easily

Hope this makes sense too.. Don't complain if there minor bugs, typed it up quickly, its just a rough idea... I'm so very tired...

 

[Acvong]

Oh i get it now thx nomad but what Variable is HumanFlagOutOfBase? is it an integer? region?

 

[Avator]

That's Integer. It's to check if the flag is in the base or not.
