Destructible Respawn Issue

[Orcnet]

I've been making a trigger that resurrects a destructible + a custom item table attached, but the problem is that when the said destructible has resurrected the custom item table is gone, what do I do in such case?

here's the destructible resurrection trigger:

• Respawn Destructible
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within Destructible <gen> dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Destructible - Resurrect (Dying destructible) with (Max life of (Last created destructible)) life and Show birth animation

And what do you mean by custom item table?

maybe set those items in an item variable then create them once the destructible dies.

map init

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set item_var[1] = Claws of Attack +15
    • Set item_var[2] = Crown of Kings +5
    • Set item_var[3] = Kelen's Dagger of Escape

death

• Destructible
  • Events
    • Destructible - Summer Tree Wall 0000 <gen> dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Item - Create item_var[(Random integer number between 1 and 3)] at (Position of (Dying destructible))
    • Set destruc = (Dying destructible)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Destructible - Resurrect destruc with (Max life of destruc) life and Show birth animation

better set the destructible in a variable coz it might get overwritten in the wait part..

Orcnet, we all know that when we used a respawn system, Item Table wont drop when they are to be revived so I suggest make a triggers for the drop like what we do when we trigger a unit's drop.

Triggers are more efficient to use in item drops when it comes to units or destructible that are revivable because item drop table cannot be recycled and will not anymore work on the next time a destrcutible is to be revived again.

that way will not work as the variable will be overwritten if a destructible dies b4 the wait is over. Instead try this.

• Destructible
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within Destructible <gen> dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local destructible udg_destruct = GetTriggerDestructable()
    • Set tempPoint = (Position of (Dying destructible))
    • Item - Create item_var[(Random integer number between 1 and 3)] at tempPoint
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Destructible - Resurrect destruc with (Max life of destruc) life and Show birth animation
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_tempPoint)
    • Custom script: set udg_tempPoint = null
    • Custom script: set udg_destruct = null

For the item table u should use an item drop system. the table only works for preplaced units.
If ur only making one item drop table through triggers tho use hell masters option.

But does a Summer Tree Wall 000 only points ON A SPECIFIC destructible and not all types of destructible? So, I think it is better to scan each destructible within the playable map area. And also why did you use an Item Var raandom integer from 1 to 3 if there is nothing set from those numbers?

 

[deathismyfriend]

look up at the map init trigger. the item array is set there. This is how he wanted to create an item. its not a good idea to scan for every destructible in map area. This event runs when a destructible dies. So i then store the destructible into a local variable and use that after a wait.
Yes it was unneeded to do it this way. I didnt notice it was only for one specific destructible lol. But if he wants this to resurrect all destructibles in one simple trigger.

 

[Binsu]

But I think his only problem is the item drops so that solves it.

 

[deathismyfriend]

its should lol

 

[Orcnet]

yes its about the item drops pardon me I wasn't going straight to the point, I'll test everyone's way

Yes, you really need to make the item drops in triggers because Item Drop table cant be recycled when a unit dies and been revived again..... it will disappear.

If u want it to be MUI. You need to change the event in my trigger i posted and use that along with Hera's Map init posted trigger.

Edit: I changed the event in the trigger to the original event that you had in ur first post.
