Enabling and Disabling Invulnerability of Units

colinjames12 · May 14, 2013

This is a complicated set of triggers but their goal is simple. The players need to activate two torches(There are two in the arena and there are also two in the boss stage, this fact doesn't matter that much though).

When activated, all Sorcerors of Seth abd the boss will be able to be hit, they'll be vulnerable and they're not spell immuned.

Everything works fine except for the being vulnerable part. Nothing happens, they are still invulnerable. I think it's the conditions but I'm not sure.

The Sorcerors and the boss btw aren't in the game at the same time.

get rid of the do nothing action. its useless.
store things that u use twice or more into a variable. the stuff in parenthesis.

u may be hitting the op limit if with all of the nested groups.
Also try to debug the trigger. place messages to appear and find out which action is broken. if u dont know how to do that look at the debug chapter in my tutorial. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tutorial-submission-283/things-gui-user-should-know-233242/

Scan it first please, I'm sure you didn't read it all. The trigger/the part that is not working is the one on the hidden "The triggers" part.

deathismyfriend · May 14, 2013

i already did look lol
another thing i did notice tho is u use reals for the counting in hashtables. this should not be done.
They are inaccurate. if u do 30.00 - 1.00 - 1.00 it may never hit 0.00
so dont use them. if u have to use reals always use greater / less than or equal to.
use integer to do counting as they are more reliable.

Since the only condition for your vulnerability stuff is the "oretinajump" value, print this value by adding a text message displaying it and check out ingame if it reaches the correct value.
Are the special effects properly created/destroyed (in other words: do you see them ingame?)?

colinjames12 · May 15, 2013

@Zweibelchen Thx, I'll try that later.

There are similar effects to that effect that's why I'm having a hard time finding that. But I do know that the spell immunity, evasion, and the armor bonus aren't removed so the effects are probably not showing too ingame. And their "load 3 of key picked unit in aoehashtable" effect are also not remove.

colinjames12 · May 15, 2013

I've checked it now.

It always says two when I activate both torches. None of the sorcerors nor the boss became vulnerable, nor the sfx in them are gone. And the effect on the torches are never gone too, the Seth torch activate.

It's like none of them became part of the mages unit group.

EDIT: I've semi-solved this already, I think. The only thing that is probably not gonna be working now is the part where they become vulnerable, that's what I'm not getting at all.
I have a feeling that they become invulnerable again as soon as they become vulnerable.

Starquizer · May 15, 2013

Perhaps there is a problem that keeps firing the Invulnerable trigger(s) so that whenever they are vulnerable they become invulnerable due to the unknown problem that fires the Invulnerable trigger(s).

Zwiebelchen · May 15, 2013

The whole structuring of your triggers is weird.

Basicly, in your first trigger, for *every* unit in bunker group, you cycle through *all* units in "mages" and remove the invulnerability stuff.
Considering the "mages" group is a static, this makes no sense. Once is enough.
(In other words: if you have 3 units inside the bunker group, you remove all the invulnerability stuff three times PER UNIT!)

Your second trigger is even worse: for *every* unit in "torches", you cycle through *all* units in "mages" and add the invulnerability stuff. And this periodically. I also can not find where you actually assign units to the "mages" group.

Doing a "for every unit" loop inside a "for every unit" loop is likely to cause unwanted bugs and is certainly not what you actually want to achieve.
The "Picked Unit" response gets overwritten inside the inner "for every unit" loop. This is why you can't access "Picked Unit" after finishing the inner loop anymore.

If the loop-inside-loop behaviour is really what you want (I doubt that), make sure to assign the Picked Unit to a variable before running the inner loop.

I think I'm the only one who knows how to fix this but it's great to know how the problem works. I think this part is what is causing it so I decided to delete it.

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
- If - Conditions
  - (Number of units in torches) Equal to 0
- Then - Actions
  - Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
- Else - Actions
  - Do nothing

You have only posted parts of your trigger, so we can't really tell, as we don't even know the event of your torch setup trigger.

If torches can only be removed once and never respawn, turning off the trigger when it reaches 0 is correct.

Sorry about that, you've seen my map, it's awful so I'm trying to fix that as best as I can.

The mages are static, if I understand what you're saying. I didn't show the whole trigger. Sorcerors are added periodically to that mages group.

The one with the bunker group is a bit complicated. The bunkergroup is the unit group that checks whether there is someone in those 4 regions. I think I should I fix this trigger cause I've thought of a better way.

There should be someone near that region, the region where the torch is located to activate the torch. The torch will be activated when the player presses the down arrow while on that region.

I've done the unit group within a unit group a lot of times already. I don't need to assign the picked unit to a variable cause that's exactly how I wanted it to be.

These triggers are too complicated but I'm pretty close to the answer.

This part of the trigger works, this the one on the "The Triggers" hidden tags.
But then this part doesn't work at all.

      - Special Effect - Destroy (Load 3 of (Key (Picked unit)) in aoehashtable)

      - Unit - Remove Spell Immunity from (Picked unit)
      - Unit - Remove Evasion (Khufu, Ashtaroth) from (Picked unit)

I've done the checking through message and it says zero. In the boss, I don't know why, but it say two.

deathismyfriend · May 15, 2013

were are u checking it ? show us the triggers with the debug messages in them.

this doesnt make sense either.

Yes, but it's the wrong approach here, as it doesn't do what it is supposed to do.
What you want is a group loop AFTER the group loop, not a group loop IN the group loop.

Look at it this way:
The outer group loop checks the first unit.
For this first unit, ALL units are checked and rendered invulnerable/vulnerable.
Then the outer group loop checks the second unit.
For this second unit, again, ALL units are checked and rendered invulnerable/vulnerable.

You are basicly repeating the same stuff over and over again, which makes no sense (there is no reason to make the unit invulnerable more than once in the same trigger).

colinjames12 · May 18, 2013

This problem is solved now. The triggers above are stupid. Since the number of torches are static, I just used timers.

I found out that the problem was with the mages group all along. I don't know why, but I guess picking up units in a "static" unit group inside another unit group is the problem. I just declared the unit group inside the unit group.

It works really great now.
