[Trigger] Force building

[redmarine]

These building(Town and City) contains items and I would like to know how I can force the replacing building to stay at the same spot regardless whatever units stand in the way.
How can I do it?

• Villages
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to |Cffffff00Town
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a |Cffffff00Town using The old unit's relative life and mana
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to |Cff00ff00City
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a |Cff00ff00City using The old unit's relative life and mana
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
      • Else - Actions

You could try to move all units within X range of the TempPoint, say 100 range, away from TempPoint, thus clearing the area where the (larger?) building will be put.

 

[redmarine]

Do you mean removing or moving(away) the units? That is not an option.

 

[ady_illidan]

try to put a larger pathing on the new building (not sure it works)

 

[redmarine]

Wouldn't that just make it worse?

 

[ady_illidan]

Wouldn't that just make it worse?

i didn't tried
just try and see

 

[redmarine]

Shall I just replace the building with another building without pathern? So It'll only have collision size?

Try This :

• Untitled Trigger 012
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Lumber Mill
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Blacksmith using The old unit's relative life and mana
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

• Untitled Trigger 013
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Blacksmith
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Workshop using The old unit's relative life and mana
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

Just change the unit.

That is exactly what I have done lol... The building keeps moving. -.-
I want the replaced building to stay at the same spot regardless whatever units stand in the way.

then set collision to 0 and pathing to none

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

then set collision to 0 and pathing to none

Only thing is he DOESN'T want units in the way...

Why isn't moving the units back an option?

 

[GhostWolf]

More like, why the heck don't you use normal upgrading instead of triggerd upgrading ?

 

[redmarine]

Because when upgrading building that contains items you will keep the previous items and the building won't have the new items that should be in there.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Try making all the buildings the same size... These are just quick suggestions, i'd search into it but I'm about to go install Wc3 (again).

Ok, tell ya what, upload the map here, and when I finish install I'll check it out!

 

[redmarine]

My router can't handle it. It can not upload anything bigger than 1.5MB on a forums so big like this..
All the units around the replacing building are changing the building placement...

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Ok, recreate the part of the map on a 64x64 if possible, that way I'll be able to help more.

 

[redmarine]

Will do sir :

 

[redmarine]

DONE! Play the map and try to upgrade the building and see what happens.

There's no Triggering Unit, change Triggering Unit to Researching Unit, works fine.

• Barrack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Researching unit)) Equal to |Cffffff00Barracks
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Researching unit))
        • Unit - Replace (Researching unit) with a (Unit-type of (Researching unit)) using The old unit's relative life and mana
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
      • Else - Actions

 

[redmarine]

I've tried that before and the building stays but now it doesn't get the new items.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Right, I just tried loads of stuff out...

Change the pathing map to Arcane Tower, I think that may sort it!

 

[redmarine]

Then it is like walking through the building... How hard can it be to just force a building to stay at the same spot?
