Hi, ive been making a remake of an old game "Escape from Colditz" and i need to make trigger(s) which makes a guard behave in a certain way if certain conditions are met. These triggers need to be multi-instanciable, meaning that it doesnt just work for one guard, but all of the guards / prisoners.
I have already made "area" buffs which are cast to the prisoners when they step into a new area, and also the prisoners have a passive ability which tells them what nationality they are.
All area buffs are based on the "Endurance" Aura.
All nationality buffs are based on the "Bash" passive ability.
1) Guard - Prisoner in Guard uniform
The guard will run up to the prisoner dressed as a guard and stop him to ask for his pass. If he doesnt have a pass, he is sent to solitary confinement (back in original prisoner uniform) with all inventory lost. The guard cant just stop him immediatly, but needs to be a certain distance away before he can stop the prisoner. Also, if the prisoner/guard runs away he can just shoot them (if in range of a shot). The guard shouldnt just shoot straight away if the prisoner moves alittle bit then stops, he should kind of chase them till a certain distance then get out the rifle.
Ive been having trouble with this one as its abit hit and miss, they will run up to you and ask, but if u run away, they wont shoot / follow (trigger at bottom)
2) Guard - Prisoner in restricted area
The guard will run up to the prisoner, and the prisoner will have a "Caught" buff aquired meaning any guard can now chase this prisoner and capture / shoot him. Similar to the first one, but doesnt require a pass because they will just get sent straight to the solitary confinement.
Pretty much the same situation, submitted trigger at bottom.
3) Guard - Prisoner with Caught Buff
The guard will run up to the prisoner and send to solitary confinement, pretty much identical if the prisoner was in a restricted area.
4) Guard - Prisoner in other nationality quarters
A prisoner is in another nationality quarters other than their own, pretty much acts exactly like if in a restricted area.
Havent had the chance to code this one, because of the unsuccess of the other triggers.
5) Guard - Prisoner in Open Access Area at night time
A prisoner is caught in a open access area at night time, results in the same situation for if they were in a restricted area.
Same problem.
I hope someone out there can help me with these triggers because its really starting to frustrate me. I will +rep and add your name to the credits if you are successful in making these triggers work. If you need more help with me describing the actions/conditions required, just post it up and il try and help. If you need to see my triggers in action I can post up the map with it working. The triggers also dont have to be done in GUI, can be done in JAZZ, im just not that great with JAZZ.
If anyone is also wanting to help with other parts of the map, terraining, triggers, testing, general helping i could post up the map and add to the creator of the map (if enough help was given) with joint credit of the final map release
Here is some code that ive tried to make work, but its very complicated and doesnt work 100% of the time. Needs alot of work
