[JASS] Fourth Resource

[TaintedRuins]

I'm having some difficulty figuring out how to set up a fourth resource.

Event - a unit (requiring the resource) begins training
Condition -
Action - If: Real (?): ??? (Something to the effect of, amount of variable x equal to x)
Then: Subtract x amount of variable x
Else: Stop training, display message: "you do not have enough resource to do that"

I also need the multiboard coding that would display this in a live update without causing lag.

If someone could get this in vJass with no leaks, I'd prefer it.

Please thanks!

First you need a global integer that contains your resource, I'll name it "Resource".

Events: a unit begins training
Conditions: type of (trained unit) equal to Unitthatrequiresresource
Actions: if (Resource >= theresourcecostofyourunit, for instance 250) Then: set Resource = Resource - 250
Else: Stop training and display message to owning player?

That GUI trigger should work and should be leakless

How would I have a multiboard keep track of it?

1. make it leaderboard it would be smaller
2. name it the name of the resource
3. set the value to the resource using the event ''every X seconds''

Would that lag at all?

Conditions: type of (trained unit) equal to Unitthatrequiresresource

How do I set up the variable Unitthatrequiresresource?

(Like, what category of variable is it, and how do I add units to it? Do I have to do it for each gold-costing unit individually?)

Why would it lag ? And did you even try to make it alone ?

 

[TaintedRuins]

Of course I did?

Talk down to me some moar, pls. It really encourages me to get involved with the Hive community.

Should that work?

That condition probably works too, but just change it to
Unit type - Unit type of (Trained unit) equal to (footman)

Oh and please,
make the trigger
then test it
then if it doesn't work, ask why it doesn't work

instead of asking if it "would" work...

Anyway, a small remark: that trigger will only work for 1 player, not for multiple players. Just remarking it... You'll have to use arrays to make it work for more players.

How and why would it only work for a single player?

 

[Eleandor]

because you only have 1 "Gold" variable. the "Gold" you have would be shared by all playing players... You need to have 12 gold variables for each player, or preferably an integer array for gold, where the array index is the playernumber.

 

[TaintedRuins]

Ahhhh, I see what you mean now.

Thanks. :]

How might I set the array up within the trigger?

i.e.
Gold [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] = Gold [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] - 50

Is it possible to include all 12 arrays like that?
