1. Wrong place to post if you're asking about triggers mainly.
2. Here:

and i want some units to spwn every 45 like 2 foot men & 1 riflemen for human
and 2 gouls and 1 cypt frend

Simple AoS

• Events
  • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 2 Footman for (insert player) at (Any Regions that you have) facing 180.00 degrees
      • Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for (insert player) at (Any Regions that you have) facing 180.00 degrees
      • Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Attack-Move To (Any Regions that you have)
  • For each (Integer A) from 2 to 2, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 2 Ghoul for (insert player) at (Any Regions that you have) facing 180.00 degrees
      • Unit - Create 1 Crypt Fiend for (insert player) at (Any Regions that you have) facing 180.00 degrees
      • Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Attack-Move To (Any Regions that you have)

i want to add -name command to my map so people can change their name

Name

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -name as A substring
• Conditions
  • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 6)) Equal to -name
• IActions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Length of (Entered chat string)) Greater than 27
    • Then - Actions
      • Set NewName = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 27))
    • Else - Actions
      • Set NewName = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
  • Player - Set name of (Triggering player) to NewName

NewName is a string-type variable.

 

[ace992]

i cant find this IActions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Length of (Entered chat string)) Greater than 27

Then - Actions

Set NewName = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 27))

Else - Actions

Set NewName = (Substring((Entered chat string), 7, (Length of (Entered chat string))))
?

 

[dofys]

If you are talking about If/Then/Else Mulitple Actions, you find it at the top of the list of Actions. The rest should be easy to find.

 

[ace992]

na i got that i cant get the setname bit i get set NewName = value but cant get past that

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Wrong forum, moved!

Post your questions in the World Editor Help Zone, NOT in Map Development.

 

[ace992]

ok 9i cant get past his

 

[dofys]

You're on the else right?

 

[ace992]

ok i have got what u got but it dosnt work ?
its the same as the picture

 

[dofys]

Show me what you have and I'll compare it to mine.

 

[ace992]

ok here what i got

 

[dofys]

Everything should be working fine. Does "-name" have a space after the "e", like this -name ?

 

[ace992]

i do not know il check

 

[ace992]

not it didnt but i fixed that but it still dosnt work

 

[ace992]

id their like a custom thing i got to add like how to find host?

 

[dofys]

Make sure the string in the condition is the same as the event.

 

[ace992]

here a better screen shot

 

[dofys]

Everything is good, and like I said on the last post, just make sure the string in the condition is the same as the event.

 

[ace992]

yeah its the same dose the NewName variable need a string in it?

 

[dofys]

• Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -name as A substring

-name is the string. BTW, don't double post, just edit.

 

[ace992]

arrrg i gtg in a min so dose the NewName variable need a string in it?

 

[dofys]

No, it doesn't.

 

[ace992]

ok then i wonder why it dosnt work..

 

[ace992]

well heres the map if you want to find out what im doing wrong

 

[ace992]

i gtg bye thax for the help

 

[dofys]

You didn't set the event to which players can use it.

On the other hand, you messed up the AoS triggers. You didn't make it correctly.

i aslo want to make it so i can open gates in my mapQUOTE]

The open gate action is located on the Destructible part of the Actions list.

 

[ace992]

ok so how do i fix it?

 

[dofys]

ok so how do i fix it?

If you're referring to the AoS then:
Here's what I see -->

• Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game timeActions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Unit - Create 5 Footman for Player 5 (Yellow) at (Center of Holding <gen>) facing (Random point in Holding <gen>))
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Unit - Create 2 Rifleman for Player 5 (Yellow) at (Center of Holding <gen>) facing (Random point in Holding <gen>))
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Unit - Create 1 Priest for Player 5 (Yellow) at (Center of Holding <gen>) facing (Random point in Holding <gen>))

• Events
  • Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Unit - Create 5 Ghoul for Player 10 (Light Blue) at (Center of Holding 2 <gen>) facing (Random point in Holding 2 <gen>))
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Unit - Create 2 Crypt Fiend for Player 10 (Light Blue) at (Center of Holding 2 <gen>) facing (Random point in Holding 2 <gen>))
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Unit - Create 1 Necromancer for Player 10 (Light Blue) at (Center of Holding 2 <gen>) facing (Random point in Holding 2 <gen>))

Here's a simple AoS I made.

• Events
  • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 2 Footman for (insert player) at (Any Regions that you have) facing (insert) degrees
      • Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for (insert player) at (Any Regions that you have) facing (insert) degrees
      • Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Attack-Move To (Any Regions that you have)
  • For each (Integer A) from 2 to 2, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 2 Ghoul for (insert player) at (Any Regions that you have) facing (insert) degrees
      • Unit - Create 1 Crypt Fiend for (insert player) at (Any Regions that you have) facing (insert) degrees
      • Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Attack-Move To (Any Regions that you have)

ok so how dose that fix the renaming?

my spwning is fine it works.....

 

[ace992]

If you're referring to the AoS then:

i ment both....

 

[dofys]

• Player - Player 1 (Red)types a chat message containing -name as A substring

Just like this, except change the player 1 to any players that are playable by a user. Then, copy and paste to the number of playable slots and do the same thing.

 

[ace992]

ok so if i fix that event it should allow me to rename?

 

[dofys]

Yes ace992, it will.

 

[ace992]

still dosnt work....

 

[dofys]

I do not even know what you're doing with that trigger. It works fine for me, even on your map when I configure the event to a playable slot.

 

[ace992]

version 0.40 lastest not up to download on hive till rename fixed

well do you want to write the tirgger for me then?
cuz i just cant get it to work heres the 0.40 version.

 

[Just_Spectating]

your last question was solved in a different thread i saw...
the if conditions on the if then else that dofys made will only make sense if you make your name longer than 21 characters

 

[ace992]

ok i ended up getting an other one to work
