Hero choosing

[Alkatrazz]

I'm thinking of how to make a player choose a hero in the beginning of a game. like in Kodo Tag X-Treme, where you can choose from several heroes.

 

[Skycraft]

Put all player's starting area's around a tavern and let them pick from it.
Then create a trigger that allows the sold hero to be instantly moved to a location once sold.

[defskull]

I think Kodo Tag Game provide a Dialog-type Hero Selection, am I right ?
Where you have to click either one of the List of Heroes, right ?
CLICK MEEEE~

 

[Exum]

There are many ways to make palyers choose their hero.
- Dialog-type as said defskull
- Tavern with a spirit / peasan / any unit you want
- Altar for each player
- Viewing + selecting, like in The black road (camera is front of the hero, you can change hero pressing arrow keys or clicking on the others).
- Circles of power, with heroes next to them. And an unit to enter the circle according to the hero you want.

These are the most used ways to choose a hero.

Tell me which one you prefer and i could help you triggering

 

[defskull]

Exum, I played Kodo Tag X-Treme game and I know HOW the Heroes are selected =D

 

[Exum]

I trust you but i wondered if Alkatrazz wants this kind of hero selection, or if he don't know which one to use

 

[Alkatrazz]

I want the hero choosing type. Like in a Kodo Tag.

 

[Noobsmoke]

can you tell us what you saw on that map ?

 

[Alkatrazz]

Ehmm.....
In the start of the map you have 15 seconds, to pick a hero.
The way you pick a hero is like when you pick difficulty in some TDs.

Like this image, just with hero names.

The best explanation i could come up with.

 

[Noobsmoke]

system is done, just download it

 

[Alkatrazz]

Thank you so much !!!

I see you have done with just one player, and that is really good!!

But if i wont to do it with more than one player, do i have to make a trigger for that?

 

[defskull]

*Sigh*

 

[blacksheepwalll]

lol

just change show dialog to something like

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for (Player((Integer A)))

and change everywhere else where it says player 1 to triggering player

also get rid of the clear dialog until everyones picked or if you arnt using dialogs anymore you can just leave it out

 

[Alkatrazz]

More help XD

I thank you all for helping me. But i am new at this, so i need more help XD (sorry)

I've only got the diaolg for player 1 (red), but i need it also for teal and blue

 

[blacksheepwalll]

if you used the way i showed you above did you make sure the show dialog is in the loop

gotta be like this

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 1 (Red)

and not like this

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
• Dialog - Show Dialog for Player 1 (Red)

 

[Alkatrazz]

Nothing look like that in the triggers XD.
Look at the attached file on the 1st page. That is what i am using.

 

[blacksheepwalll]

add it then its not that hard

 

[spasms]

BTW, i have to use the "make (picked unit) unavailable for (all players)" whenever someone picks a hero, right?

 

[Alkatrazz]

Sorry, but I doesn't know what to do . I need a "guide" or something like that.

 

[Noobsmoke]

Sorry, but I doesn't know what to do . I need a "guide" or something like that.

I updated the map

Guide

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to Show_Group
    • Player Group - Add Player 2 (Blue) to Show_Group
    • Player Group - Add Player 3 (Teal) to Show_Group

There you add players who can see the dialog

• Show Dialog
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Dialog - Change the title of Dialog to Pick one hero :
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog labelled Blademaster
    • Set Blademaster = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog labelled Kael
    • Set Kael = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Dialog - Create a dialog button for Dialog labelled Mountain King
    • Set Mountain_King = (Last created dialog Button)
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Show_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Dialog - Show Dialog for (Picked player)

There you add your heroes
Note : You have to make 1 variable for every hero ...

• Picking Hero
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for Dialog
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to Blademaster
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Blademaster for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to Kael
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Blood Mage for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to Mountain_King
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Mountain King for (Triggering player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

There the heroes are created when player hit an dialog button (Triggering player is the clicker)

Here is a tutorial made by Tonks. It includes many ways to select a hero, and it explains everything. I think you should take a look.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/hero-selection-systems-38699/

Here is another tutorial, made by Eleandor. This one includes dialog menu as well. I think you should read the tutorial section before asking. You will find many useful things.

 

[Alkatrazz]

Does this also work, if red picks a hero first and then the dialog doesn't disappear for player blue and teal?

Just asking

Just asking

aww dude ... the dialog shows up when map begins and you chose a hero the dialog will disappear (ONLY FOR YOU, THIS WILL NOT AFFECT ANY PLAYER)

 

[Alkatrazz]

Thank you people for all the help.


I have a new problem XD. When any player picks a hero first, the rest of the players can't pick a hero, the dialog disappears.

 

[Alkatrazz]

I've put most you to the "Credits" on my map, for system creation, help and other things.

 

[defskull]

That's because you Dialog is not MPI (Multi-player Instanceablity)

 

[Alkatrazz]

That's because you Dialog is not MPI (Multi-player Instanceablity)

How do I do that? XD

 

[Noobsmoke]

That's because you Dialog is not MPI (Multi-player Instanceablity)

It is not MUI ?? ?? ( i don't usually use dialogs at my maps so i never tested one )

 

[Alkatrazz]

How do i make it to a MUI or MPI or whatever it is called?

 

[defskull]

MUI is usually for Spells trigger
But MPI is focused more on things like Hero Selection System, Dialogs, Multiboards
I just can say the definitions of it, but I can't make it, because I've never done it before ^_^

 

[Alkatrazz]

So.... Is there any "pro" on THW that can help to do that?

dude ... just use my system, test it on multiplayer then ask me if it is not working ...

 

[Alkatrazz]

I did and it is awesome!
But, as I have written before: If red, blue or teal picks a hero first the others get a dialog where the dialog is "cleared", i mean the dialog doesn't have any buttons. If you understood that

Updated

 

[Alkatrazz]

Ohhhhhh YEAH... It works! So damn perfect! ty m8

 

[Alkatrazz]

I am just wondering, when a player choose a hero, how do I then make it so the camera turns over to the selected hero. Like in Kodo Tag?

 

[Noobsmoke]

ill update my map in 5-10 mins and reupload it

 

[Noobsmoke]

Updated
Edit : i didn't tested it yet, but it should work (i'm a little bit busy)
