Hero Loses Health "Outside"

[CheM.Vox]

Some Questions

Well, I'm working on a map, where when a User's hero health goes down slowly while "outside" of a building, but when the Hero is inside, it gains health, or that effect wears off. I'm not totally sure how to work it out. It'd be like in the game Wilderness Survival, how you need to stay heated, and regenerate back at your camp fire.

Also, are there any RPG-sort of tutorials I can take a look at ... because I need to figure out how to create a profession choosing system, or if someone could explain to me how it works, that would be very nice too. I'd also need to know if theres anyway to show a seperate experience gain in the profession, seperate from the Hero Level experience bar...

Any answers/suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you.

No...You can just make a trigger like, (If you want the hero to lose 1 life per 2 seconds outside.)

Events
Time - Perodic Event - Every 2 seconds
Conditions
Actions
Deal 1 normal damage to (Chem.vox's unit)

Argh...something like that. Some one help me to put it in Triggy boxes again?

Then as for the healing stuff, you put a unit with the 'healing ward aura/healing fountain aura thingy', and give the unit the ability 'locust' so you wouldn't be able to click on the stuff you go inside. And lastly, set the model to 'tree of life upgrade' under abilities models. I'm sorry if I confused you some where :s I'm not very good with triggers.

 

[ArcticInferno]

But the object data thing that I just said would do the healing effect indoors just fine. Of course, place it in the area you wanted it to regen! And make sure to set unit collision to 0!

 

[CheM.Vox]

Hmm ... would there be a way to work the triggers using Regions?

Yes it would. Well, I asome this is a RPG, and you only control one hero:

Loosing Life trigger:

• Test
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Outside[(Integer A)] Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - 1.00)
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + 1.00)

''Oustide'' is just a boolean to keep track of if the hero is outside of inside.

now we have made that if a unit enters a ''house'' he will start gaining mana, and he will loose mana while being outside. But we need to make a trigger who says when a unit enters the house:

• Test
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters House <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Outside[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = False

We also need a trigger that says when the unit leaves the house:

• Test
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves House <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Outside[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = True

that should be it

 

[ArcticInferno]

Ah...There's the triggerer. But where's the trigger boxes?

 

[operator]

I coulden't find out how to make them :S

 

[CheM.Vox]

I had trouble finding some things but, I'll try putting Trigger in.

• Lose Hp
• Events
• Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
• For each (Iteger A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
• Loop - Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If Conditions
• Then - Actions
• Unit - Set life of (Triggering Unit) to (Life of (Triggering unit))
• Else - Actions
• Unit - Set life of (Triggering Unit) to (Life of (Triggering unit))

I couldn't find the +1.00, -1.00 in there, nor the "Outside[(Integer A)] Equal to True". :S
Also, in the other ones I couldn't locate the "Set Outside[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = True" Could you tell me where these are?

 

[operator]

You have to create a variable boolean called ''outside

 

[Hemlock]

ehm, why don't you just make a building and give it an healing aura?

 

[operator]

Well, that would work. But it woulden't be as exact as my trigger

 

[ArcticInferno]

That's precisely what I said, warnico, but he wants to lose health outside. And he wants it to work with regions.

 

[Hemlock]

Well make him loose life with a periodic event and maintain that trigger to execute, and then place aura buildings wherever you want the person to re-charge

 

[Thunder_eye]

just set units hpreg to negative and use healing auras like warnicro said
