Defining Buildings

[warner]

Hey,

I have a quick question: how does one use a trigger to define if a building has been built or destroyed.

Ex. A quest to build a barracks, train five footmen, and destroy the enemies' barracks.

Thanks.

• Trig 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Barracks
  • Actions

• Trig 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Set FootmanAmount = (FootmanAmount + 1)

• Trig 3
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions

Use those.

Thanks so much, but one more thing: when doing the first event, "Specific Unit Event" does not have "Finishes Construction", while "Player-Owned Unit Event" does. Is there a reason for this? Purely curious.

I have no idea why is that, but if you want trigger to run only when specific unit finishes construction,use condition Triggering unit == Your unit.

I've one more question, if anyone is still around.
How does one use this trigger to make/destroy more than one building?

eg. Build a barracks and a blacksmith, make x amount of units, destroy the corresponding barracks and blacksmith of an enemy.

not specific

• Events
  • Unit - A unit owned by Player ? dies
• Conditions
  • (Unit Type of (Triggering Unit)) equals to YourBuilding
• Actions
  • Your choice

OR

specific (Example only)

• Events
  • Unit - Barracks 0025 <gen> dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Your choice

The reason why the specific event doesn't have that, is obviously because you can only selected pre-placed units(ie. units you place on your map via the World Editor) for the event. And a pre-placed unit is already constructed, no?

 

[Garfield1337]

GhostThruster,
No,because in event "unit finishes construction" it refers to worker and not to building. If there would be event like "Unit is finished being constructed" then what you said would be true.

Yeah, sorry, confused the events.
