[General] Food Max system

No. If your trigger fires only when you write "-ally red" then you know that the triggering player wants to ally red player! There is no need to get substring to find out if "-ally red" contains substring red, because they way you set it up, if the entered chat message didn't contain exactly "-ally red", then the trigger would not even fire.

If you want for this whole (un)alliance system only 1 trigger, you need to do it my way (similarly to what I posted in the test map a few posts before).
If you do it your way - 12 ally and 12 unally triggers, then each trigger has different event.

So just merge the important parts of my trigger into your trigger - like this:

Ally Red

Events

Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Player - Player 12 (Brown) types a chat message containing -ally red as An exact match

Conditions

((Triggering player) is an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to False

Actions

Player - Make (Triggering player) treat Player 1 (Red) as an Ally with shared vision

Player - Make Player 1 (Red) treat (Triggering player) as an Ally with shared vision

Set allies = (All allies of (Triggering player))

Set int = (Integer((300.00 / (Real((Number of players in allies))))))

Player Group - Pick every player in allies and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Player - Set (Picked player) Food max to int

Player - Set (Picked player) Food used to (((Picked player) Food used) + 1)

Player - Set (Picked player) Food used to (((Picked player) Food used) - 1)

Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_allies)

-------- --------------------------------------------------------------- --------

-------- Here is the part where you update your multiboard --------

For -unally red the trigger is same, except the event (you have to change which command fires that trigger to -unally red), condition (now you check that they are allies instead of checking that they are not allies) and that you set their alliance as enemy.

Then you just copy it 11 times for other players.

ooooh nice

(with the exception of the forced alliance)

Well, yeah, it makes more sense that way.

I would not agree to be with someone in alliance anyway, if he were to remain hostile to me, while I would be friendly to him and lower my food max.

Yeah but if someone types -ally blue (a noob for example) and you don't want and start killing him he will unally after anyways, but you wouldn't want your enemy type -ally red to see all your base and then unallying

Nichilus · Jun 25, 2013

Well, from that point of view it makes sense, but for that you will need to change the trigger above a little bit.

Actions
- Player - Make (Triggering player) treat Player 1 (Red) as an Ally with shared vision
- Set allies = (All allies of (Triggering player))
- Set int = (Integer((300.00 / (Real((Number of players in allies))))))
- Player - Set (Triggering player) Food max to int
- Player - Set (Triggering player) Food used to (((Triggering player) Food used) + 1)
- Player - Set (Triggering player) Food used to (((Triggering player) Food used) - 1)
- Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_allies)
- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------- --------
- -------- Here is the part where you update your multiboard --------

Now this makes the triggering player treat another player as his ally, but it will change Food Max only for the triggering player instead of his allies, else it would not make sense.

hmm k

_lycan · Jun 25, 2013

And in the unally trigger? how would it be, as you know... the unallied guy isn't an ally of the player (and it's forced unally).

Nichilus · Jun 25, 2013

You will need to create 2 player groups.

Actions
- Player - Make (Triggering player) treat Player 1 (Red) as an Enemy
- Player - Make Player 1 (Red) treat (Triggering player) as an Enemy
- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------- --------
- Set allies = (All allies of (Triggering player))

- Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_allies)
- Player - Set (Triggering player) Food max to int
- Player - Set (Triggering player) Food used to (((Triggering player) Food used) + 1)
- Player - Set (Triggering player) Food used to (((Triggering player) Food used) - 1)
- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------- --------
- -------- Picks Player 1 --------
- Set allies = (All allies of Player 1 (Red))
- Set int = (Integer((300.00 / (Real((Number of players in allies))))))
- Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_allies)
- Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Food max to int
- Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Food used to ((Player 1 (Red) Food used) + 1)
- Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Food used to ((Player 1 (Red) Food used) - 1)
- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------- --------
- -------- Here is the part where you update your multiboard --------

Basically I get the number of allies of triggering player to set his food max and then I pick allies of Player 1 and set his food max

wooja

, but it will work normally if i destroy the variable allies 2 times in the same trigger?

Nichilus · Jun 25, 2013

You don't destroy the variable, you destroy the group that variable points to

Creating groups and then destroying them will cause no problems.
(in other words, in this trigger you can consider "allies" a temporal player group variable)

Try to test it with your friends to be sure it does exactly what you want it to do.

_lycan · Jun 25, 2013

Wait nichilus don't i need to make a custom script to destroy int too?

Nichilus · Jun 25, 2013

No, you need int in each trigger, because everytime that trigger fires, int may be different.

Int = 300 / number of allies
Everytime trigger fires, "number of allies" has different value, because one time you have 2 allies, other 3, etc.

Seems I find out the problem - it is in the player group itself.

This line:

Set allies = (All allies of (Triggering player))

picks all players who consider Triggering player to be his ally...
However we have this situation:
I write -ally blue, so trigger sets allies = all allies of me (player 1 red)... while I consider player 2 blue to by my friend, player 2 blue still considers me an enemy, which is why he will not be picked into "allies" player group

To fix this, change every line where you pick allies of (triggering player), to this:

Set allies = (All players matching (((Triggering player) is an ally of (Matching player)) Equal to True))

In your -unally triggers, change the line where you picked allies of specific player (like allies = all allies of Player 1 (red) ) to this line:

Set allies = (All players matching ((Player 3 (Teal) is an ally of (Matching player)) Equal to True))

Change Player 3 (Teal) to the player you unallied with.

------------
An offtopic note:
Is it necessary to wait 0,01 second before changing the multiboard? Wait 0,01 is not accurate and can range from 0,1 to 0,3 seconds - that time is further prolonged by player's ping.

i just remove wait 0.01?

Nichilus · Jun 25, 2013

If you remove wait, I don't think anything bad will happen... although I am no pro with multiboards, so it would be better if someone else confirmed it.

_lycan · Jun 25, 2013

changing
Set allies = (All allies of (Triggering player))
to the other thing worked perfectly
