Fast question!

[reason 3]

Ok,i have a fast question about making something in map.I got a creep spawning trigger create XX units to XX location.The location is just in front of some barracks.Is there any way to make barracks like they are training the unit?For example when you train an unit in classical "melee maps" the barracks have some lights or so.I want to make barracks look like this,AND i don't want to use the Order unit to train XX unit...i just want to have this "animation".Any ideas?

 

[StaberFire]

Ugh...

• Animation - Play unit's stand work animation

 

[reason 3]

I tried this...and set train animation and didn't work.

 

[StaberFire]

"Stand work" is the correct string, not "train". There is no such animation named "train".

 

[reason 3]

Ok,i guess that's what i did wrong...let me test it
EDITk it still doesn't work...Here is my trigger

• SetBarrackAnims
  • Events
    • Time - Every 25.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to True
        • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play Blood Elf Arcane Sanctum 0048 <gen>'s stand work animation
    • Animation - Play Blood Elf Barracks 0047 <gen>'s stand work animation

 

[Maker]

There's no <triggering unit> for periodic event.

Perhaps you should create a unit group picking all structures of P1, and then making them do that animation.

• Conditions
  • And - All (Conditions) are true
    • Conditions
      • ((Triggering unit) is alive) Equal to True
      • ((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to True

is the same as

• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) is alive) Equal to True
  • ((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to True

except that the latter is faster to execute.

 

[Saia_Djinn]

because your event sets no triggering unit and the conditions are therefore never true (sometimes could be yes i know but just in lucky undefined moments)

try no condition and it works

E: aaa to late

 

[reason 3]

Ok,then i remove the condtions and it works...but still that's not exactly what i want.My creeps are spawned each 35 seconds,so i want the animation to start every 25 second and turn off after 10 seconds(when creeps are spawned).I can use the wait 10 seconds command and then turn off this trigger,but this way it won't play the animation never again.Any suggestions about it?

 

[Maker]

How about this:

• Untitled Trigger 011
  • Events
    • Time - Every 25.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play Barracks 0114 <gen>'s stand work animation
    • Wait 10.00 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of Barracks 0114 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Animation - Play Barracks 0114 <gen>'s stand animation

Don't leave the location leak in there.

 

[reason 3]

No,Maker that's not what i meant.My creep spawning trigger are already made,i just want to use the animation to make the creeps created be like they were trained by the barracks.So...My trigger spawns creeps every 35 seconds.
I want to play the stand animation every 25 seconds-wait 10 seconds(reach 35 where my creeps spawn)-and then stop playing the stand animation.It should start again...after 25 seconds.That's the problem i'm having
Any trigger help on doing this?(just animations)

 

[Maker]

The trigger above starts the work animation at 25 seconds and plays it for 10 seconds. At 35 seconds units are spawned and the work animation stops playing.

I don't see the problem here. Just merge/sync this trigger with your spawn trigger. Maybe you should post the spawn trigger too.

 

[reason 3]

You already have my map^^.You could easily check them and reply.

 

[Saia_Djinn]

And he already told you the answer please start using your brain!
(sorry for that sentence but it's true)

 

[reason 3]

And he already told you the answer please start using your brain!
(sorry for that sentence but it's true)

I'm sorry if that seemed strange or even stupid to you,but i already had Maker to do a check in my creep spawning trigger for leaks...So that's why i said this!So telling my stupid,doesn't make you smarter.It just shows you should talk much when you don't know much!

 

[Saia_Djinn]

I never said you are stupid just to use brain(and i also said sorsy) in this case you got the solution so why don't use it then he posted the right thing just kick the create footman function out and your solution is there (that's what i meant with brain , being a bit capable of thinking about problems oneself -- yeah i know my grammar is wrong =D btw check your reputation there 's a message for you)

 

[reason 3]

Yeah,i said that cause he was already doing some improvements,so he could do this,too.I never said it was hard for me to do it.Anyway its fine,no problem

*Sry about double post,but trigger still doesn't work*
Here is my trigger:

• Creep SpawnElf
  • Events
    • Time - Every 25.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • SpawnStrongT1 Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play Blood Elf Arcane Sanctum 0048 <gen>'s stand work animation
    • Animation - Play Blood Elf Barracks 0047 <gen>'s stand work animation
    • Animation - Play Blood Elf Arcane Sanctum 0325 <gen>'s stand work animation
    • Animation - Play Blood Elf Barracks 0045 <gen>'s stand work animation
    • Wait 10.00 game-time seconds
    • Unit - Create 2 Blood Elf Swordman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Creep Start1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Blood Elf Knight for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Creep Start1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 2 Blood Elf Archer for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Creep Start1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Blood Elf Priest for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Creep Start1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 2 Blood Elf Swordman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Creep Start2 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Blood Elf Knight for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Creep Start2 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 2 Blood Elf Archer for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Creep Start2 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Blood Elf Priest for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Creep Start2 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

 

[Saia_Djinn]

maybe the condition is wrong i don't see any error except that one building maybe could not have stand work anim

and you have loads of leaks =D

 

[reason 3]

No,i tried this even without condition,it still doesn't work.Also the unit i use is the standar wc3 orc/human barracks....
Yeah,this is just something to begin with,leaks will be fixed
I can't find out why this isn't working...

 

[Saia_Djinn]

look up if everyone has the animations also try it one time without the wait

 

[Maker]

How exactly does it not work? Units spawn but the animation is not played? You should also play "stand" animation at the end of the trigger

 

[reason 3]

Well,animation starts at 25 seconds but it never stops.Units keep spawning normally.

 

[Maker]

............

Sorry about that.

 

[reason 3]

............

Sorry about that.

What do you mean?

 

[PvSvN]

he wants you to play the stand animation at the end of your trigger to stop the one you are playing i guess

 

[Maker]

I want reason 3 to:

1) Take a good look at post #9 of this thread
2) Take a good look at post #17 of this thread
3) Explain why this thread is still going on

Just forgot to add the last animation
I guess i was tired last night
Fixed!

E: aaa to late

Fail.

Triggering Unit is not a variable, it is a constant native, A.K.A. a function. It is not set, it always return null with this event. There are no lucky undefined moments, because it is an event response, and this event has no unit triggering it, so triggering unit will always be null.

 

[Vulcano]

How about this:

• Untitled Trigger 011
  • Events
    • Time - Every 25.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play Barracks 0114 <gen>'s stand work animation
    • Wait 10.00 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of Barracks 0114 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Animation - Play Barracks 0114 <gen>'s stand animation

Don't leave the location leak in there.

This way the time between spawns is 25 seconds and not 35 seconds.

 

[PvSvN]

No its not
The time for the animation 25 seconds and 35 for the units

 

[reason 3]

Actually guys i think i fixed it.I just made something like this:
Every 25 seconds

Play XXunit stand work animation
Wait 10 seconds
Create XX units.

I guess it works fine.Every 25 +10 from the wait action,so creeps are spawned every 35 seconds.

 

[Vulcano]

sigh

-Wait 25 seconds
-wait 10 seconds
-Spawn creeps
-Wait 15 (25 - 10) seconds
-Wait 10 seconds
-Spawn creeps

So 25s between each creepspawn.
