[Solved] Hero Respawn

Problem Solved

Wietlol · Sep 18, 2015

You cant use triggering player in the second trigger afaik.

Rilene · Sep 18, 2015

Oh well, will have a look on that after school.

So what should I use instead of triggering player?

DEE-BOO · Sep 18, 2015

You have to make 10 copies of the 2nd trigger. There is no Timer Comparison.

Rilene · Sep 18, 2015

What? Really?

DEE-BOO · Sep 18, 2015

You could do it like this.

Revive Timer
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
  - ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  - ((Owner of (Dying unit)) slot status) Equal to Is playing
- Actions
  - Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Dying unit)
  - Countdown Timer - Start Timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds
  - Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Reviving in...
  - Set Timer_Window[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Last created timer window)

Revive
- Events
  - Time - Timer[1] expires
  - Time - Timer[2] expires
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Remaining time for Timer[1]) Less than or equal to 0.00
    - Then - Actions
      - Hero - Instantly revive Hero[1] at (Center of (Playable map area)), Hide revival graphics
      - Countdown Timer - Destroy Timer_Window[1]
    - Else - Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Remaining time for Timer[2]) Less than or equal to 0.00
    - Then - Actions
      - Hero - Instantly revive Hero[2] at (Center of (Playable map area)), Hide revival graphics
      - Countdown Timer - Destroy Timer_Window[2]
    - Else - Actions

Thanks but I prefer ordinary way, and I appreciate that though.

Wietlol · Sep 18, 2015

Im afraid DEE-BOO's way doesnt work because if you start the timer for player 2 and the timer for player 1 has never started, both will be 0 when timer 2 expires.

You need timer comparison.
You can do this using custom scripts checking if "if (GetExpiredTimer() == udg_Timer[1]) then"
It is not really nice because of GUI but it is the only way I can think of at the moment.

Rilene · Sep 19, 2015

Oh, will try that though, hope it works.

DEE-BOO · Sep 19, 2015

You could add an extra condition to see if the hero is dead. But Wietlol's way sounds better.

Dr Super Good · Sep 19, 2015

You can perform a linear search on the timers to get which expired.

Rilene · Sep 19, 2015

Well, will try and check it once arrived home.
Triggers are so complex for me. `~`

You can also just do something like this:

Hero Respawn
- Events
  - Time - HeroRespawnTimer[0] expires
  - Time - HeroRespawnTimer[1] expires
  - Time - HeroRespawnTimer[2] expires
  - Time - HeroRespawnTimer[3] expires

- Actions
  - Set TempTimer[0] = (Expiring timer)
  - For each (Integer Integer) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Custom script: if udg_TempTimer[0] == udg_HeroRespawnTimer[udg_Integer-1] then
      - Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Hero of + ((Name of (Player(Integer))) + has respawned.))
      - Custom script: endif

Blightsower · Sep 20, 2015

^ yup. Play with the triggers.

Arad MNK · Sep 20, 2015

You can make a Periodic Trigger that check how much time remains in the Timers. (= Loop through all timers)

At least that's what I've done for my timer comparisons.

Rilene · Sep 24, 2015

Hero Respawn
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
  - And - All (Conditions) are true
    - Conditions

  - Set HeroRespawnHero[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Dying unit)
  - Set HeroRespawnTime[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (15 + (Hero level of (Dying unit)))

  - Countdown Timer - Change the title of (Last created timer window) to Respawn Time

Ok, just redone it, will this work without any leaks?

I've tried timer comparisons before and they were crashing the game. But maybe that only happened because I sometimes called GetExpiredTimer from outside an expire event.
