Game Text Triggers

[Jeremy0352]

Greetings,

I've made a TD map. I'd like to show players which round they are on.
I kinda know how to make it and works, but here's a thing i can't solve.

as seen in the picture attached, I used "Name of last created" stuff,
This is good 'cause i set 20 same enemy units come out on each round and it only shows the name of 1 enemy unit out of 20.
The problem is on some rounds, I set "a single boss" unit come out with "20 same enemy units" with using different trigger from the one for "20 enemy units"

When it's a round that a boss unit and 20 enemy units come out, the text message only says the name of the boss ('cuz boss comes out 1 second after 20 enemy units so it is the last created unit)


I'd want both's names appear.. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!! Help plz

Sorry for the broken English if you don't understand, plz let me know.

Do you have some sort of Classification for bosses? If not, you can use passive abilities to act as custom Classifications and add them to all of your boss units in the Object Editor.

Then when it comes time to Display the unit's name you first check to see if it has the Boss Classification ability:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Level of Boss Classification for (Last created unit)) Equal to 0
  • Then - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ...
  • Else - Actions

So we're only displaying the message if the unit DOESN'T have the Boss Classification ability. In other words, if the unit ISN'T a boss.

Boss Classification can be based on an ability like Storm Hammers which has no effect. You can use these abilities to split up all of your units into different classes to make your triggers more efficient and easier to manage.

Okay so I now get it how to give classification for boss
but what if i want boss' name and normal unit's name displayed together? what shoud I do?

Plust Is there any way i can fully see your trigger script?
it is shown like "Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ..." and can't see what it says next

P.S.
thanks for letting me know the "how to post your trigger"

I literally typed "..." in the Text message

But it sounds like you want to take advantage of a String array and Integer that keeps track of the current round.

Store all of the strings in the array:

• Events
• Map initialization
• Actions
• RoundText[1] = "Round 1 started: Kobolds"
• RoundText[2] = "Round 2 started: Murlocs"
• RoundText[3] = "Round 3 started: Bandits and Bandit BOSS"

Then whenever a new round starts increase the Round integer and display the appropriate message:

• Actions
• Set Variable CurrentRound = CurrentRound + 1
• Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: RoundText[CurrentRound]

This is assuming that Rounds are the same for every player in the map. If each player can be on their own Round, so Player 1 could be on Round 3 while Player 2 is on Round 1, then you could use an Array for CurrentRound.
If this was the case you would put the player's number in the [Index] of the array.
Example for Player 4: Set Variable CurrentRound[4] = CurrentRound[4] + 1.

Holy crap! now it totally works fine.
You saved me

Thanks a lot!
