[Solved] Day/Night passive skill

[Lordul Dracula]

Hello Hive I want to make a passive skill for a basic unit and I want this skill to work only during night.

Spoiler: Trigger 1

Spoiler: Trigger 2

Spoiler: Trigger 3

This trigger only works for units that are trained before 10. If I train a bandit and the time is 10:11 that unit will have the passive to lev 1, any solution?
Thx +rep

so if I understand everything right:

your level-setting trigger triggers precisely when the clock hits a certain value. When the unit is trained at 10:11 there is not event that's like "time of the day becomes 10:11" or such. So I think you would require something like this in trigger #1:
before adding to group, once unit is trained make a codition-action to check time of the day, set the required level for an ability for the just trained unit, then add to a the group.

• DayNightLearn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Level of ..War Drums for (Trained unit)) Equal to 1
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (In-game time of day) Greater than or equal to 10.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Trained unit) to DayNightGroup
      • Else - Actions

Like this?

I think like this:

• DayNightLearn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Bandit
  • Actions
    • -------- checks if it is night time --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (In-game time of day) Greater than or equal to 10.00
        • (In-game time of day) Less than or equal to 12.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of War Drums for (Trained unit) to 2
      • Else - Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Targeted unit) to DayNightGroup

aslo I think game uses 24 hour format, so if you look for 10 pm you should use 22.00 instead

No, is still not working.
Is there no solution? Pls

The first question, is your dusk and dawn (start the day and start night) time still 6 and 18?

The first trigger is okay as is. As for the second and third, it's kinda hard for my head to warp, since my definition of the night would be 18-24 and 0-6 if we use the default configuration. I'd go for an event that runs per 0.1-0.2 seconds and then do a time checking instead of relying on the wonky time of day event. If you rely on the events and go with the default:

1. Night: event when time >= 18:00, event when time <= 6:00 (this event already excludes all day bound times, so no conditions needed)
2. Day: event when time >= 6:00, condition when time <= 18:00

If your definition of Night is 22:00 (10:00 night) to 24:00/0:00 (midnight), I'd define as following:
1. Night: event when time >= 22:00
2. Day: event when time >= 0:00, condition when time <= 22:00

It just mostly depends on how you define the daytime and nighttime since the parameters adjust along that line.

The reason why i set the time to 10 and 12 is because is easy for me to test the skill if is working or not . If is set to 18 and 6 i will need to wait every time 5 min to test the skill.
The problem with this trigger is that the skill will remain lev 1 if you train bandits during night. If you have 10 bandits trained before 18 they will get the buff but if you train units during 18:10-5:59 they will not get the buff.

Are you sure you did it correctly?

This should be (Trained unit) not (Targeted unit):

• Unit Group - Add (Targeted unit) to DayNightGroup

When a Bandit is trained you add it to the unit group. Then you check if it it's nighttime and adjust the level of the ability to 2 if that's the case. Then whenever it becomes day pick through each unit in the unit group and set their ability to level 1. Then whenever it becomes night pick through each unit in the unit group and set their ability to level 2. When a Bandit dies, remove it from the Unit Group.

Yes and is not working

 

[ssbbssc2]

why bother with that

Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit ??


use event - Unit enters the map

then check for your ability, if its level more than 0
and also check what time is it now

then do needed actions - like set lvl of your ability or other stuff

and then u just need two triggers with dawn and dusk events to change your ability

I tried that too, but I will try again
Update: yes thx so much is working fine now +rep

If Bandits can only be created through training then I recommend using the Finishes training Event. This is more efficient than Enters map.

Your issue was this Event Response in the DayNightLearn trigger:

• Unit - Set level of ..War Drums for (Picked unit) to 2

It should be (Trained unit).
