[Trigger] Help with complex trigger

[Fangaoman2000]

I'm sure you all remember the original orc campaign where thrall has to lead the kodos and the tauren to the oasis. Is there an easier way to replicate that caravan effect a little easier than the way blizzard did it??

 

[GhostWolf]

Explain whats your problem (or do you want us to do for you a trigger from scratch ? )

 

[Just_Spectating]

you can just order all the units to follow eachother..

 

[seruk]

you can just order all the units to follow eachother..

My thought exactly?

 

[GhostWolf]

I think his problem is that the caravan needs to stop if the player isn't proceeding.

Thats exactly what I mean>

In that case, additional info could be useful: should it be MUI? (as in: multiple caravans), multiplayer, why are you in need of caravans?

 

[Just_Spectating]

check issue orders, if the order is stop, then order all the caravan units to stop.

I'm guessing Blizz made it in the simplest way possible... so I'm guessing you'd have to use that.

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

You can compare orders or distances.

 

[GhostWolf]

Can't do any of those.
Orders - what if the order is to move but in the other direction ? (walking to the back of the caravan).
Distances - what if the hero just went far from the caravan but to the right direction ?

 

[Pyritie]

You could just have a whole bunch of regions, and check to see if your units have entered them yet, and if so, make the caravan move to that region.

 

[Just_Spectating]

so this caravan is supposed to... follow a players units, then if it reaches a point, the caravan stops till the player goes to the next "checkpoint" ?

 

[GhostWolf]

I think thats the best solution (although can bug also that , for example you can go far from the caravan enter a really far region and then come back and the caravan will go till there, guess life isn't perfect ).
