Duel Trigger Event

[JmHunt]

Hey All,

Currently creating a two-player co-op RPG map. I want the players to be able to duel eachother. I have figured out how to get the duel started with text and everything but I am having trouble getting the two players back on the same team after the duel.

Is there a event/condition where a "Unit dies in (XXX Region)" ? I could use this so that if a unit dies in the duel region, then it would move the winning player back to town and return both players allied status back to allied instead of Hostile.

Let me know if you know anything I can do to make this happen. Thanks.

You can use something like this:

• Some Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Some Region) contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
  • Actions

Looks perfect. Thanks.

Hey All.

Mr Bean was of great help and his idea worked perfectly. I have one other issue I would like to see if I can get help with. I would like text to be displayed to the winner and to the loser, different for each - One text that says "You have won, etc." and another that says "You have lost, etc."

How can I make a trigger where the game knows which players unit died and which one survived? Below are my triggers I currently have for the duel, they work perfectly so far.

make a trigger that is unit dies. for condition use a boolean to check if the unit is still in the duel arena if the triggering unit is in the arena then that player lost. the other player is the winner so just check to see if that unit is alive. u also have leaks in ur above triggers. the wait is also a bad idea.

one more thing if you want to ask about trigger please post in this Section not here

 

[deathismyfriend]

those triggers have a lot of leaks. they are also inefficient.

never use dying unit use triggering unit instead.
the waits are a very bad idea and a duel system should not be made like this

 

[DivineLight]

which one? mine?

 

[deathismyfriend]

which one? mine?

yup.

 

[DivineLight]

why?
