[General] Event when Phoenix Egg transform into Phoenix

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Hello everyone, I'm making a trigger that when the Phoenix dies, it leaves the Phoenix Egg behind. (This is not something special). However, I want the trigger that after being revived by the Egg, if the Phoenix dies again and transform into the Egg, the Egg will have less HP than before. So how can I make the event for that trigger?

 

[Daffa]

Use index for each Phoenix [which is a mess actually].
Save them by index, create an integer as store point, when die, reduce that integer for that Phoenix, you need loop and many arrays.
I can't see any simple way here..

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Uggg. I cant understand . IF it isnt a simple way, no problem. I just need u to explain it clearly.

 

[Daffa]

Well, I can't explain coz it's complicated, but to be honest, you will need Variables to store to see the current Phoenix death, since you will decrease their HP of egg/death, how does you want it to work exactly? I can try making it.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Okay. I make a very high level Phoenix with lots of hit point (and so does its egg). I make sure that u cannot kill the egg in 1 revive time so u need to kill and kill it again. Each time the phoenix revived, I want to store the current HP of the Egg so that next time the phoenix dies and transform into the Egg, the Egg wont have full HP but instead the stored HP.

The reduction of Max HP occurs to both unit (Phoenix and the Egg) ?

Also, can you tell me what's the Event when the Phoenix enters the map ?
It is summoned just like Blood Mage's spell ?

I need to know the Event for it to get registered.

Here's a test map so far, it reduces the Phoenix AND the Egg by 10 per resurrection.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Nope. It is placed in the map at the start and not by summons. And if possible, yes, the reduction of Max HP occurs to both of them.

 

[defskull]

Ok, can you check the test map ?

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Hmm. It's not really what I want . More detail by giving an example:
Ex: I and my friends kill the Phoenix (100000hp) the 1st time, it turns to Egg with 1000hp, we cannot kill the egg at that time but reduce its hp to 250. After that, the egg turns into the Phoenix with its hit point now is (100000/1000x250=25000hp). And we kill it the 2nd time and it turn into the egg with starting 250hp. And so on until we can kill the egg.
P/S: And by the way, can u post the triggers instead of the test map? My computer is so damn weak that it took me 5 minutes to completely load the test map in WE. ==

 

[defskull]

What do you meant by "we cannot kill the egg at that time" ?
Is it Invulnerable ?
Is it too strong ? (but 250 HP is low @@")

Or you wanted to say that the minimum amount of HP of the egg will always be 250 ?
It will never drop below that ?

And how can we actually kill the egg ?

I provided you a test map because there are hidden settings in the Object Editor in which you might not see through triggers.
Although I can express it via texts but I'm so lazy and hard to understand.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Oh man. ). I just giving an example, u know.
We cannot kill the egg at that time = We cannot deal enough amount of damage to it at the end of its duration so it transform back to the Phoenix. But we manage to makes it hp drops to 250.
After that, if normally without trigger, the Phoenix will come back alive with 100000hp but I dont want that. I want it to come back with equal percentage of life like the Egg when it is revived (25000hp). (since 250/1000=25% so 25% of 100000 is 25000).
And after we kill that Phoenix the 2nd time, the Egg will replace the Phoenix but its hp will be 250 instead of 1000.
This is just an example so u dont need to consider it as gameplay.
In my map, the Egg's hp is 10000, not 1000 .

 

[DivineLight]

oh i know, so we hit the egg if the duration is up but we can't kill it in that time he will replaced by Phoenix with Hp: percentage of egg's life, ex: 10% so 10% of 100000 is 10000 right?

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Right .

 

[DivineLight]

you can set the pheonix hp with trigger so..
pheonix is dies
create 1 egg at position of pheonix
check egg's percentage
set int = percentage of egg
egg is dies
create 1 pheonix at position of egg
set percentage of pheonix to int

i'm too lazy to wrote it in trigger

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

But it will create an infinite loop: Egg > Phoenix > Egg > Phoenix, etc.

 

[DivineLight]

idk,

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

How heartless u are. )

 

[DivineLight]

not heartless just don't know how to solve it

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Yeh. I think I got the idea from that and I possibly think that it will work out.

 

[defskull]

Ohhh, so the Egg HP will be preserved throughout the game, is it ?
And the next HP of Phoenix will solely depends on the current HP of the Egg, right ?

 

[DivineLight]

yes..

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

That's right. . Sorry for not knowing the word Preserved ).

 

[defskull]

I am sorry once again I should post the test map rather than explaining via texts.

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

ehh ==. Just post the triggers instead of texts . But thks. I'll check it later. Should get some sleep. 8 hours on the computer so far. ==

 

[nGy]

Isn't this really simple or am I just missing something?
Do as DivineLight previously said:
When the phoenix dies create an egg and add an expiration timer to it.
When the egg dies create a phoenix if the killing unit == null.

 

[Vinz]

If the Phoenix is a boos, then just create a real variable for the egg's life?

 

[defskull]

It's simple so express in words rather than the actual coding itself.
I've faced it before.

 

[DivineLight]

yes, agree with defskull..
i don't even tried it yet
lol

 

[Vinz]

If it should be MUI, then Hashtable; otherwise ^that is pretty easy right?

 

[DivineLight]

If it not MUI nor Hashtable; that is pretty easy.. but cause some problem

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Well, I think I can solve the problem now with defskull's trigger. Just tweak it a little bit. Btw, defskull, why do u use "Wait 0.00 seconds"?

 

[Vinz]

That is to delay some actions abit. Example when you use damage detection, you delay it for the actions to be accomplished after the damage is dealt. Another example, when a hero levels up, it takes a 0.00 second wait in order for the unused stats to appear, so not using it will make you unable to assign skills via trigger.

 

[defskull]

As mentioned by Wrathion, some actions happen too fast causing the trigger to do action before it actually happens.

Take this case for example, morphing Phoenix to Egg.
It's not an instant action, therefore a wait of 0.00 is needed for it to wait or delay the process for the Phoenix to turn into Egg.

If I remove it, the action would be done onto the Phoenix - not the Egg.

Now, why do I use 0.50 second Wait, then ?

Ahhh, I just found out that the transition time from Phoenix -> Egg and Egg -> Phoenix, was different.

That is why it has a different wait time.
