help me with taxes please

[moizaka]

can someone please post a sample map with triggers for taxes off a unit e.g. every 30 secs yuo get 3 gold for every footman you have

(sorry no WE handy)

basically exactly what u said is the answer. every 30 seconds, a trigger runs, counts the footman and gives an arithmatic equation of 3 x footman gold, then adds it to the players gold.


Event: Periodic timer of 30 seconds
Condition: N/A
Actions:
set IntVar = 0
unit group - select all units of type "footman" matching owned by player X and do:
---set IntVar = IntVar + 1
player resource - set gold to (current gold + "IntVar")


****One for each player to be taxed or make a loop by player number
****leeks a unit group check things that leek sticky

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to -1, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Wait 30.00 seconds
        • Set tempgroup = (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) of type Footman)
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempgroup and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Player - Add 1 to Player 1 (Red) Current gold
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_tempgroup )

that should work

Why don't you use as Event every 30 seconds and cut out the wait?

 

[shocker]

Well i guess you could do that too. I just normaly do it this way.

 

[moizaka]

thanks guys much help

Trigger / timer based timing is more accurate than triggersleepaction timing. Thus if you loop infinatly with a wait, you will notice it is actually longer than 30 seconds every income.

 

[shocker]

Just woundering how much longer does it realy take? like .01 secs?

 

[Dr Super Good]

well, if you use trigger sleep action by itself, about 1.5-3 times longer in multiplayer. Polled wait is a lot more accurate as it syncronizes with a timer thus its like only 0.5 seconds off.

Speaking of polled wait, could you link me to a tutorial for them as I'd like to try it out D:
**Yes it's offtopic, but..

I'd rather do like this;

• Events
  • Time - Every 30 seconds.
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Playable map area) matching (Matching unit equal to (Footman))
    • Loop - Actions
      • Player - Add 1 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current Gold

 

[onix_noob]

i have question about "set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true"
i don't wonna make new thread so i will post it here, if i have trigger like this

• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type foot small) and do (Player - Add 2 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold)
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type foot) and do (Player - Add 3 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold)
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Foot big) and do (Player - Add 4 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold)

must look like this or like this

• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type foot small) and do (Player - Add 2 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type foot) and do (Player - Add 3 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold)
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Foot big) and do (Player - Add 4 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold)

please tell me

Edit: every time when i use this my trigger don't work correctly or don't work at all u can try this trigger with periodic event and chek and tell me why don't add the gold at the time when must add it it's better the default trigger at WE

 

[Huurka]

You must use the above, I think.
