[Trigger] Game Mode Voting System (+Rep)

asdfADRiAN · Sep 11, 2010

In my map, the host is allowed to select the type of game mode through a dialog window and from there the game is selected.

I would like to provide fail-safe triggers for the game type selection system. If the host does not select a game mode within 10 seconds, then the system will automatically run the trigger to allow All players to vote for a game type within a given 10 seconds. The most votes selected for one particular mode will run that game mode. If no votes are accounted for within the allotted 10 seconds for the "All Player" voting interval, then the game will randomly select a mode.

Here is my triggers that I currently have. Its a rough set of triggers however. itd be best if you just create a voting game mode dialog system in a map and upload it so i can adjust accordingly:

lol your in luck i already posted my working vote trigger checkin to see if anyone could make it better or improve it but it should work for what your doing, you just gotta make it fit to your system format. heres the link

Working on it right now. Im almost done but with your example, it is only a 2 option voting system: Yes or No.

The voting system I need displays game modes in one window and needs to calculate which one had the most votes via

set integer x = [(integer x) + 1]

How do I setup a condition like this but instead checks if let say One option is greater than any of the other options?

vk_yes Greater than vk_no

Try this, a bit comlicated if it is what you want:

First Trigger

Events
- Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
Conditions
Actions
- Set IntegerH(Main Integer) = Integer9(The Last Integer of yours)
- If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  - If - Conditions
    - IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer8
  - Then - Actions
    - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      - If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer7
      - Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer6
        
        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer5
        
        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer4
        
        Then - Actions
        
        ect.
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer4
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer5
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer6
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
      - Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer7
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
  - Else - Actions
    - Set IntegerH = Integer8
    - Trigger - Run Trigger 2

The Second Trigger is like the First one just has no event or the first Set Variable:

Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer8
    - Then - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer7
        
        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer6
        
        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer5
        
        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or Equal to Integer4
        
        Then - Actions
        
        ect.
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer4
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer5
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer6
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer7
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
    - Else - Actions
      - Set IntegerH = Integer8
      - Trigger - Run Trigger 2

The IntegerH is the Integer which is the highest, your last at the begining, while Integer1-9 or how many do you have are your Integers for the votes. Hope it helps

oh u can do a loop check

try this out

Take Vote Tally 5
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Trigger - Turn off Play CTF <gen>
  - Set CTF_Points_Cap = 0
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        Vote_Count[(Integer A)] Greater than CTF_Points_Cap
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Set CTF_Points_Cap = Vote_Count[(Integer A)]
        
        Set Temp_Integer = (Integer A)
        
        Else - Actions
  - Set CTF_Points_Cap = Vote_Count[(Temp_Integer + 5)]
  - Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text: (|c00FF0000Majority Voted|r |c00FFCC00 + ((String(CTF_Points_Cap)) + |r |c00FF0000points for the Win!|r))
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set Vote_Count[(Integer A)] = 0
  - Game - Display to (All players) for 25.00 seconds the text: |cffFF1100*********...

also a lot of your other triggers could be cleaned up a bit and shrunk down for example where u have show next thing to player and again for 2 and 3 etc.
just make a loop 1-12 and show it to player intA

Alright, implementing them. The triggers posted are several hours old and Ive completely revampled it. Im planning on creating a voting dialog system with an implementation of a leader board to display tallys.

@Bond009 Im not sure how that would help me check for the conditions of multiple options in a vote.
@The_DooM thats something relatively close to what I was looking for in the conditionals. That helped a bit though. Is there a way to loop checks like what Bond009 has claimed?

Here is the new vote checks trigger adapting to both posted examples.

In this example there are 5 polls. We will have 4 main triggers. One in Map Initiation where the game modes are set, another where the polls are voted and accounted for, another to check votes and another to trigger the game mode.

This is a generic example that has been simplified and fully recreated. What do you guys think?

Initiate Timer and leader board
- Events
  - Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Countdown Timer - Start mode_timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds
  - Game - Display to (All players) for 10.00 seconds the text: (Players have 10 seconds to vote for a game mode)
  - Trigger - Turn on add Game Mode 1 vote <gen>
  - Trigger - Turn on Kick <gen>
  - Leaderboard - Create a leaderboard for (All players) titled (Game Mode Votes:)
  - Set game_lb = (Last created leaderboard)
  - Leaderboard - Show (Last created leaderboard)
  - For each (Integer gamemode_int) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Leaderboard - Add (Player(gamemode_int)) to (Last created leaderboard) with label (Game Mode (gamemode_int): + (String(vote_count[gamemode_int]))) and value 0
      - Leaderboard - Change the color of the label for (Player(gamemode_int)) in (Last created leaderboard) to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
      - Leaderboard - Change the display style for (Player(gamemode_int)) in (Last created leaderboard) to Show the label, Hide the value, and Hide the icon
  - Trigger - Turn on add Game Mode 1 vote <gen>
  - Trigger - Turn on add Game Mode 2 vote <gen>
  - Trigger - Turn on add Game Mode 3 vote <gen>
  - Trigger - Turn on add Game Mode 4 vote <gen>
  - Trigger - Turn on add Game Mode 5 vote <gen>

add Game Mode 1 vote
- Events
  - Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for dialogwindow
- Conditions
  - (Clicked dialog button) Equal to dialogbutton[1]
- Actions
  - Set vote_count[1] = (vote_count[1] + 1)

check votes
- Events
  - Time - mode_timer expires
- Conditions
- Actions
  - For each (Integer poll_num) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        vote_count[1] Greater than vote_count[poll_num]
        
        Then - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Game - Display to (All players) for 10.00 seconds the text: Game Mode 1 Selected
        
        Else - Actions
        
        Set gamemode_int = 1
        
        Trigger - Turn on Game Mode 1 <gen>
        
        Else - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        vote_count[1] Equal to vote_count[poll_num]
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Set gamemode_int = (Random integer number between 1 and 5)
        
        Else - Actions

lol dude trust me, this is exactly what you need.

ill help you more and even take it a step further for you

in your "Initiate Timer and leader board" do not turn on those 5 trig's at the bottom just have it all be 1, this is what it will look like:

CTF Button Points
- Events
  - Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog_CTF
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Dialog - Hide Dialog_CTF for (Triggering player)
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Clicked dialog button) Equal to dialogbutton[(Integer A)]
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Game - Display to (All players) for 7.00 seconds the text: (Voted + Dialog_CTF_Strings[(Integer A)])
        
        Set Vote_Count[(Integer A)] = (Vote_Count[(Integer A)] + 1)
        
        Else - Actions

You can take out that game display message to all if you dont need/want that part.

btw you dont have a condition in your check votes trigger in your 2nd if-then-else

Take Vote Tally 5
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Trigger - Turn off Play CTF <gen>
  - Set temp_Points = 0
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        Vote_Count[(Integer A)] Greater than temp_Points
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Set temp_Points = Vote_Count[(Integer A)]
        
        Set Temp_Integer = (Integer A)
        
        Else - Actions
  - Set temp_Points = Vote_Count[(Temp_Integer + 5)]
  - Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text: (|c00FF0000Majority Voted|r |c00FFCC00 + ((String(CTF_Points_Cap)) + |r |c00FF0000points for the Win!|r))
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set Vote_Count[(Integer A)] = 0
  - Game - Display to (All players) for 25.00 seconds the text: |cffFF1100*********...

now let me explain why i do some of these things and show u how to edit and change them to fit you.

i have kill/points required to end the game and i set that number in Vote_Count[6-10] thats why i add 5 to Vote_Count[1-5] when i store it to Temp_integer so when im showing Temp_integer +5 thats taking the array value of 1 lets say and adding 5 to give 6 which has my kills required for that game mode. If you dont need that part you can just leave that out.

temp_Points is the thing you are interested in to tell you what number 1-5 got the most votes and what that value of votes is.
Temp_Integer is what is storing that array value so this way you know both the highest votes gotten And you know what array value it was.

so if you want to do

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
- If - Conditions
  - Temp_Integer Equal to 1
- Then - Actions
  - Trigger - Run (your trigger) (checking conditions)
- Else - Actions

and so on for each int array, you see now?

If you wanted to be even More efficient you can use a variable to store those 5 different Mode triggers so then you can do another loop like this.

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - Temp_Integer Equal [(Integer A)]
    - Then - Actions
      - Trigger - Run (Your trigger Variable[(Integer A)]) (checking conditions)
    - Else - Actions

@The_DooM thats something relatively close to what I was looking for in the conditionals. That helped a bit though. Is there a way to loop checks like what Bond009 has claimed?

Hm...try this:

Events
- Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
Conditions
Actions
- Set IntegerH = Integer9
- For each (Integer A) from 8 to 1, do (Actions)
  - Loop - Actions
    - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      - If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or equal to Integer[Integer A]
      - Then - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer9
      - Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer[Integer A]
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
        
        Skip remaining actions

Then the second one without the Set Variable and Event:

Events
Conditions
Actions
- For each (Integer A) from 8 to 1, do (Actions)
  - Loop - Actions
    - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      - If - Conditions
        
        IntegerH Greater than or equal to Integer[Integer A]
      - Then - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer9
      - Else - Actions
        
        Set IntegerH = Integer[Integer A]
        
        Trigger - Run Trigger 2
        
        Skip remaining actions

If the Integer A from 8 to 1 doesn't work, put from 2 to 9(or to how many Integers you have) and put Set IntegerH=Integer1 in the first trigger. Hope it helps

Okay well most are done. I still dont get how to check for multiple vote tallys. Also how do I add things to the leaderboard without it needing to add a particular player. I cant seem to add a player on there more than once which is a pain for both single and multiplayer maps.

Right now in my example I have 4 options: Easy Medium Hard or Random

For each (Integer gamemode_num) from 1 to 4, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - Leaderboard - Add (Player(player_num)) to mode_lb with label ((string_label[gamemode_num] + :) + (String(vote_count[gamemode_num]))) and value 0

Lets say if Player 1 (Red) is use, then Option 1 (Easy) will show up on the leader board however if Player 2 (Blue) Slot is not in use then Option 2 (Medium) does not show up and so forth.

Bond009 · Sep 12, 2010

So my vote tally trigger above there is how you check for multiple vote tallys.
Are you talking about having 1 option where ppl take a vote on 5 things and then a new one comes right after and vote again on 5 things? what do you mean by multiple vote tallys.

also is this a 4 player map becuz your only adding 4 players to that leaderboard, and your only allowed to show 1 leaderboard at a time in a game.

i think i'd have to see your whole picture here of what your trying to do now with this.

Well if you only use 4 player then you can duplicate it. A leaderboard can have 1 position per player and the max of 12 Players. You could either change the label of the player when he chooses a mode, Player1(Easy) or add duplicate player, add Player 1 to Player 1, add Player 2 to Player 2 ect. and then add Player1Mode to Player6, add Player2Mode to Player7 ect. Hope it helps

asdfADRiAN · Sep 12, 2010

Well I fixed the problem, instead of a Leaderboard I adapted to a Multiboard and it made things much easier.

As for the tallys what I mean is that lets say we have 3 different modes:

1. Easy
2. Medium
3. Hard

If 2 people vote for Medium and 1 person votes for Easy and 1 for Hard, then the game will run on the Setting Medium since it has the highest vote.

If there is a tie such as 2 for Medium and 2 for Easy, then then we would run a trigger than would randomly select one of the two and run on that setting.

For my map I have something like a zombie survival thing. Here is an example for 3 modes:

1. Normal (Every player is human)
2. Infection (A Number of Players start as a zombie)
3. Random (Randomly selects options 1 or 2)

If normal is the highest tally count, then the game will automatically begin with triggers that run with the Normal Settings.
If Infection is the highest tally count, then the game will run the second set of dialog triggers asking for how many players begin as zombies resting tally counts again as well as multiboard with the options of:
1. One Zombie
2. Two Zombies
3. Three Zombies
4. Random

Then we would do the voting system again.
Highest = game will run on that setting
Tie = randomly select the tied selections
Random - randomly selects one of the first 3 selections

***If no one votes during the 10 second vote timers, then we would run a trigger that would randomly select the entire game.

I hope this clears everything up. Im almost done with the system Im just making it universal for everyone (single and multiplayer) as well as providing flexibility to it for people like me and Bond009,

lol dude trust me, this is exactly what you need.

ill help you more and even take it a step further for you

in your "Initiate Timer and leader board" do not turn on those 5 trig's at the bottom just have it all be 1, this is what it will look like:

CTF Button Points

Events

Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog_CTF

Conditions

Actions

Dialog - Hide Dialog_CTF for (Triggering player)

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Clicked dialog button) Equal to dialogbutton[(Integer A)]

Then - Actions

Game - Display to (All players) for 7.00 seconds the text: (Voted + Dialog_CTF_Strings[(Integer A)])

Set Vote_Count[(Integer A)] = (Vote_Count[(Integer A)] + 1)

Else - Actions

You can take out that game display message to all if you dont need/want that part.

btw you dont have a condition in your check votes trigger in your 2nd if-then-else

Take Vote Tally 5

Events

Conditions

Actions

Trigger - Turn off Play CTF <gen>

Set temp_Points = 0

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Vote_Count[(Integer A)] Greater than temp_Points

Then - Actions

Set temp_Points = Vote_Count[(Integer A)]

Set Temp_Integer = (Integer A)

Else - Actions

Set temp_Points = Vote_Count[(Temp_Integer + 5)]

Game - Display to (All players) for 20.00 seconds the text: (|c00FF0000Majority Voted|r |c00FFCC00 + ((String(CTF_Points_Cap)) + |r |c00FF0000points for the Win!|r))

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Set Vote_Count[(Integer A)] = 0

Game - Display to (All players) for 25.00 seconds the text: |cffFF1100*********...

now let me explain why i do some of these things and show u how to edit and change them to fit you.

i have kill/points required to end the game and i set that number in Vote_Count[6-10] thats why i add 5 to Vote_Count[1-5] when i store it to Temp_integer so when im showing Temp_integer +5 thats taking the array value of 1 lets say and adding 5 to give 6 which has my kills required for that game mode. If you dont need that part you can just leave that out.

temp_Points is the thing you are interested in to tell you what number 1-5 got the most votes and what that value of votes is.
Temp_Integer is what is storing that array value so this way you know both the highest votes gotten And you know what array value it was.

so if you want to do

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Temp_Integer Equal to 1

Then - Actions

Trigger - Run (your trigger) (checking conditions)

Else - Actions

and so on for each int array, you see now?

If you wanted to be even More efficient you can use a variable to store those 5 different Mode triggers so then you can do another loop like this.

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Temp_Integer Equal [(Integer A)]

Then - Actions

Trigger - Run (Your trigger Variable[(Integer A)]) (checking conditions)

Else - Actions

Just follow that it will work for what you want but instead of 1-5 use 1-3 vote options. If i have to make u a demo map i can but i dont really have time :/

CTF Button Points
- Events
  - Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog_CTF
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Dialog - Hide Dialog_CTF for (Triggering player)
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Clicked dialog button) Equal to dialogbutton[(Integer A)]
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Game - Display to (All players) for 7.00 seconds the text: (Voted + Dialog_CTF_Strings[(Integer A)])
        
        Set Vote_Count[(Integer A)] = (Vote_Count[(Integer A)] + 1)
        
        Else - Actions

for this just set up each button as dialogbutton[1] for easy and next dialogbutton[2] for medium etc.. in the initialization.
Set Dialog_CTF_Strings[1] = Easy and Dialog_CTF_Strings[2] = Medium etc...

Take Vote Tally 5
- Events

      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        Vote_Count[(Integer A)] Greater than temp_Points
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Set temp_Points = Vote_Count[(Integer A)]
        
        Set Temp_Integer = (Integer A)
        
        Else - Actions
  - For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions

        If - Conditions
        
        Temp_Integer Equal [(Integer A)]
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Trigger - Run (TriggerVariable[(Integer A)]) (checking conditions)
        
        Else - Actions

And your set

trust me..

Just set your 3 triggers that run each mode "easy" "Med" and "hard" as:
TriggerVariable[1]= Easy trigger
TriggerVariable[2]= Med trigger
TriggerVariable[3]= Hard trigger

this will then run the correct trigger mode you want :thumbs_up:

asdfADRiAN · Sep 13, 2010

I finished the system.. sadly I broke it somewhere for the tallys checks and it doesnt calculate properly anymore ):

Anyhow heres the map.. hopefully someone can fix it for me.

i dont really feel like making account atm just to dl lol maybe send it to me?

asdfADRiAN · Sep 14, 2010

Registration isnt even that long...
Ive made the system for you, at least show some supportive effort

Bond009 · Sep 14, 2010

lol im the one helping you with it xD I already have a system like it im using in one of my maps that i based off of to help you make yours

lol
but fiine i guess i can make an account..

asdfADRiAN · Sep 14, 2010

True but im on my iphone and i dont think i can upload the map hah, also I havent had the chance to chabge my website settings to allow guests to download and comment, ill change that though when i do grt the time, just notify me when you find the issue so i can update the system and make some final changes.

Bond009 · Sep 14, 2010

so i tested it out real quick and it seems to work fine enough wheres the issue at, like what do you do to make it glitch up?

asdfADRiAN · Sep 15, 2010

I forgot exactly where it glitches... but have you stress tested it and also used the debug using Esc?

I believe if you input something like a values on every mode except one and a tie between two.. itll take the one with the zero rather than randomly selected the tied tally votes.

ex.
easy - 1 vote
medium -1 vote
hard - 0vote

itll select hard when its supposed to randomly select easy or medium

Bond009 · Sep 15, 2010

i checked it, it seems fine to me. Also it doesnt randomly pick one if theres a tie it will always pick the lowest one aka easiest which i think is probably a good thing if theres a tie.
or you can make it random if ya want..

asdfADRiAN · Sep 16, 2010

How would I fix it so that it selects randomly one of the tied voted game modes rather than the lowest one? Right now the tied is kind of inconvenient and not intended for what the system should provide.

Bond009 · Sep 16, 2010

it would be easy just compare that highest value with the other ones again in a loop like i showed you before and then if temp_int = intA store intA to another var and do a random math function or something to give each of them a 50% chance,

asdfADRiAN · Sep 17, 2010

Didnt quite get that last post, could you post an example?

asdfADRiAN · Sep 18, 2010

Bump, anyone?

Bond009 · Sep 19, 2010

after the first loop add this

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - Vote_Count[(Integer A)] equal to temp_Points
    - Then - Actions
      - Set Temp_Int = (Random integer number between 1 and 2)
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      - If - Conditions
        
        Temp_Int Equal to 1
      - Then - Actions
        
        Set temp_Points = Vote_Count[(Integer A)]
      - Else - Actions
    - Else - Actions

somethin like that will make it 50% chance for ya

asdfADRiAN · Sep 19, 2010

When I set that up, yours only seemed to select only the highest tied option.

Easy 1
Medium 1
Hard 0
In this case your trigger would select Easy as it is at the top of the tied options.

easy 0
Medium 1
Hard 1
In this case your trigger would select Medium as it is at the top of the tied options.

I have tried to create my own trigger, except this one selects the Bottom of the Tied Options. The below trigger is added right after the first loop as you have said in your previous post:

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
- If - Conditions
  - vote_count[gamemode_num] Equal to temp_count
- Then - Actions
  - Set temp_tie[1] = temp_count
  - Set temp_tie[2] = vote_count[gamemode_num]
  - Set tie = (Random integer number between 1 and 2)
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - tie Equal to 1
    - Then - Actions
      - Set temp_count = temp_tie[1]
    - Else - Actions
      - Set temp_count = temp_tie[2]
      - Set temp_int = gamemode_num
- Else - Actions

Easy 1
Medium 1
hard 0
My trigger would select Medium.

Easy 0
Medium 1
Hard 1
My trigger would select Hard.

Bond009 · Sep 19, 2010

Its fine you can do it my way, if your testing this in single player thats why, random math functions arnt too random there.. try testing it on LAN or something.. then u may sometimes get different results.

asdfADRiAN · Sep 19, 2010

Ah I see that explains why. I'll test it out tomorrow morning.
+Rep in advance

EDIT: Theres no variation on the calculations when testing over LAN or Bnet, just checked right now.
