[AI] God... Zombies in multiplayer...

[Kanadaj]

Heh... Now I know how to move my units, but it doesn't fit in multiplayer Oo I can't just say zombies:

• Zombie Move
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 11 (Dark Green)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(<Empty String>))
                • (Current order of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Order(Stop))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To (Position of (Random unit from (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) slot status) Equal to Is playing))))
          • Else - Actions

They won't know, where their head is -.- So any idea how to move like 2000 zombies on a map without making them stuck between 2 players? xD

It's not the matching unit but the picked unit.

 

[Kanadaj]

??? What do you mean by that?

 

[Deolrin]

"Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To (Position of (Random unit from (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) slot status) Equal to Is playing))))"

I guess that should be 'Picked Unit'.

 

[Kanadaj]

Errm... No... That would chose the zombie's owner's unit, but I want it to chase a unit owned by a player.

Well this may not work but it's still a thing you must learn.

I'll explain for you. The Group you're using is leaking, i supose you know what leaks is. Otherwise go here and try to learn everything about it, cuz leaks, in massive producing, is really dangerous. It causes bugs, crashes, laggs, etc...
So to avoid that you can use a BJ, with that i mean this action below

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

BJ´s are, and will always be, really slow. With that i mean that when the BJ is "called", it will take some time to get the 'thing' you want started. And that's why you also should try to avoid BJ´s, but in this case, it doesn't matter.

You'll see that when you've pasted this into the Trigger, the effect will be much smoother, in the length.
And also, I'm going to look some further into this thread. Then i can try to solve the problem you've got here.

The things the other guys saying here, that it should be (Picked Unit) instead of (Matching Unit), is false. You've done the whole correct in that Condition. But as i said, i'll look some furhter into this.


EDIT:
Well now i've solved you'r problem. So, now if you go into the Trigger Editor and go to the Trigger i made called Zombie Walk, then you can see something that not will be right, here they are (They are there because i don't having you'r real map. Well anyways i'm gonna tell you what you MUST change when you import it into you'r map, well change this following:

From

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Footman)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

To

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Zombie)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

And also this:

From

• Set Temp_Loc = (Position of (Random unit from (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) slot status) Equal to Is unused))))

To

• Set Temp_Loc = (Position of (Random unit from (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) slot status) Equal to Is playing))))

And here's the TEST MAP View attachment Zombie Move.w3x

Thanks it works I don't know what was the problem with my trigger (I midified it after the question, I tryed to use some custom value thing, but didn't work...)

 

[Kanadaj]

Hmm... I want to make a shield generator, so if it's turned on, every friendly structure's taken damage is converted like the Original Mana shield do but for the genereator... But I can't make it correctly Oo I', having problems with applying the specified buff on the buildings Oo So I can't check if they have the buff -.-

 

[tjordell]

If you're going to create a Shield Generator, you need a damage detection system, there's plenty of them here at THW. Search for them in the spell section.

 

[Kanadaj]

Thanks man! (rep++)

 

[tjordell]

No problem =) Just Glad to help ^^.
