Gate/Gates

[Chaos Omega]

I just wanted to make a couple triggers that could make the gate open for a specific players' units when they pass(possibly with regions), don't close on it's own units when one of them passes, and when it "Closes" doesn't automatically "Heals" itself.

When I manage to do one of these I just couldn't do the other so I've been stuck for quite a while.

(And by the heal part as most of you would remember when a Gate "Opens" it technically "dies" in the game so when it closes it comes with full hp as it would technically rebuilds itself.)


I've been trying to make it work for the past 2 weeks but I just cannot make a simple gate open/close system.

If anybody out there could help me with it you would have my eternal gratitude.

I can't exactly help you with your problem (not at the moment anyway) but it would be best if you could post your existing triggers for other to gauge where you're at and to see if there's something you might've missed. If don't know how to post the triggers, check this out: How to easily post triggers.

Also I think the issue here is related to the same problem experienced in this recent thread from the Triggers & Scripts sub-forum, Dynamic Gate Triggers. Hopefully it can shed some light on your case here.

• Gate open
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Gate Main <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Open Gate[Morehp] (Diagonal 2) 0107 <gen>

• Gate Close
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    • (Gate Main <gen> contains No unit) Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Close Gate[Morehp] (Diagonal 2) 0107 <gen>

These are the closest I've got but it is still wonky and I couldn't get around to stop the gate from repairing itself.

You need to store health as a variable. Need a real variable for each gate to store the health in.

There is no "triggering unit" for your second trigger because it runs off of a timer, not a unti event. Instead you need to check that the number of alive Player 1 units nearby the gate is 0:

• Gate Close
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Count = 0
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true //this cleans the group leak from the line below this (automatically destroys group after)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (units in Gate Main <gen>) and do (actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (all conditions) then (actions) else (actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Owner of (picked unit)) equal to (Player 1)
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) equal to true
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Count = Count + 1
          • Else - Actions
    • If (all conditions) then (actions) else (actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Count equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Destructible - Close Gate[Morehp] (Diagonal 2) 0107 <gen>
      • Else - Actions

Hmm.... looks like I need to go around the variables and unit groups all over again, it's been a long time since I've used the World Editor I forgot about %70 of it.
