Hi there,
Some of you have already seen me fooling around in the discord channel. But as this requires quite some attention, I thought it would be better to make a seperate post on this matter.
To show you the issue, I first show what triggers I use and what variables are involved. I use GUI, I am an amateur user that's learning some things on the go.
I will pass each trigger one by one, paired with its variables. Thank you for reading, I hope you can help me out on this one, as I'm absolutely stuck.
In my 8-player auto-battler map, I have 8 spawning zones and 8 arena zones. Players prepare for duel by recruiting units. Then they fight a duel against another player.
-----
Trigger 1: the matchups | This trigger matches every player to a region. This functions well.
The first part of this trigger decides in which arena zone the player will fight. The seconds part is where you see ArenaminX/Y; this sets the coordinates to spawn the units in trigger 2.
Trigger 2: spawning units | This trigger spawns units from the spawning zone in the correct arena zone, with the exact same position, using X/Y offset. This trigger functions well.
What you see in this trigger is the following;
Every unit in a tempgroup is selected. Then, the offset of X and Y compared to the X/Y of their spawning zone is calculated using 2 custom script for each X and Y.
Lastly, the point is set to be equal to this X/Y position. Now the units spawn on this point.
Trigger 3: turning the unit's position | This trigger does very curious things that are a mystery to me, hear me out.
For each arena zone, there is a middle point X and Y which are set. This trigger;
1. picks the units in the arena zones using temppgroup like in the previous trigger.
2. calculates anew offset, the distance between the unit and the middle point of the zrena zone for both X and Y.
3. Sets a new TempPoint that alters the position. The setTempPoint action changes the X and Y, using a formula used for turning things 90degrees around a point (the middle point of the arena zone): X=Y & Y=-X. This is what you see in this action.
4. Units get moved.
When I test alone, everything works fine. My units change their position by 90 degrees, just as intended.
When I test with another player however, all player's units swap their position twice instead of once, chnaging the unit position by 180 degrees. To me, it seems like something is stacking its action where it should not. My big question is: why is this happening, and what can I do to solve this?
To fully fix this trigger, I need the units on arena 1,3,5 and 7 to change clockwise, where units in arena 2,4,6,8 need to change counterclockwise.
If you need more info before responding, please let me know.
Thanks, Kapharna
