[Trigger] Housing help

[4rankie]

K well Last night I was looking on these forums and i found a screenie where the unit went under the test and in the house and it seethrough you were able to see the bed and everything else that was in it, can anyone help me out with this trigger i want to do that for my map it would be a great system.

I don't think it's a trigger, he just made the house with the stuff in it, and then per rect a camera switch. I never tried it, but this seems very obvius for me.

The house is a unit with locust ability. There's also a trigger required with following specifications:

• Turn on
• Events
  • Unit - a unit enters HouseRegion
• Actions
  • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
  • Unit - make (house 001) have 100% transparency // not sure if this is a unit action, it can also be an animation action.
  • Custom script: endif

• Turn off
• Events
  • Unit - a unit leaves HouseRegion
• Conditions
  • Boolean - Unit group - units in (HouseRegion) owned by (owner of (triggering unit)) is empty equal to true
• Actions
  • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
  • Unit - make House001 have 0% transparency
  • Custom script: endif

I have found the screenie This is what i mean how did he do this?

 

[Eleandor]

I just told you.

 

[4rankie]

so when i do that it will show the wood n stuff?

It'll show you everything that is inside the building which you've added. The code seems to work fine.
All the piles you see there has the creator himself added.

Thats such a cool effect

I gotta keep that in mind the next time I make a map w/buildings

I bet it looks really cool with a quick fade away type of effect

 

[GhostWolf]

It does.

By the way there are two ways.

1. Make walls out of doodads or something like that, create a cool ceiling from a lot of units and hide/unhide/half-hide/whatever them.

2. Create a unit that looks like a building (a bit limited but way easier), set its colision to 0, add path-blockers (or whatever their name is) where the walls are, and you have a nice home ready to go into.
