Gate Opener/Closer v1.0.1.0

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.

A system I made when I saw my friend creating a trigger per gate... lol
Ok well its pretty obvious what this does... It opens and closes gates.
Alright well here are the triggers.
Put your gate type then insert this line below it.
call SaveInteger(udg_GateHash,udg_TempDestructibleType,0,1)
And viola, that gate will now open!

Example:

Set TempDestructibleType = Demonic Gate (Diagonal 1)
Custom script: call SaveInteger(udg_GateHash,udg_TempDestructibleType,0,1)

Change Log

v1.0.0.0 - Uploaded.
v1.0.1.0 - Changed periodic time to 0.30, made the region permanent, and added configuration. I also pointed out within the code to where you can put conditions of gate opening.
Anyway have fun using this and remember that no credit is required when using any of my resources.

IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.

6 Dec 2011
Bribe: The line where you say the user should add some conditions for the gate ("Insert a condition here. Like if you want it to only open for 1 player or something.") should be where you have the conditions for "Picked unit is flying == false" and "Picked unit is dead == false". This will make your system easier to edit and it will also run more quickly especially if there are large numbers of units on the map.

Instead of creating a point for the region and removing the point as well, per every unit on the map throughout the entire game, do this from the looping trigger in place of the region/point stuff:
  • Custom script: call MoveRectTo(udg_GateRect, GetUnitX(GetEnumUnit()), GetUnitY(GetEnumUnit()))
. Then you don't need locations at all, save some lines of code, some RAM processing time and generally makes your system better overall.
