How do I make it so Mana/Health Pool alternate?

[JCAbernathy]

I am trying to make it so that whenever a new match starts, there is a chance the fountain in the middle of the map becomes a mana or health pool. I am new to this whole stuff. So go easy on me

So what? You want to give it a fountain's mana regen aura? Do so. What's the question here?
Use triggers to give and take the abilities. I really can't help you more unless you give more information on your problem..

Here is the scenario. Each time the map loads, I want the fountain in the middle to be random. As in, each time the map loads, it could either be a health or mana fountain. Hopefully that clears things up.

I will give you a trigger in one second.

• Random
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set RandomNumber = (Random real number between 0.00 and 1.00)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • RandomNumber Greater than or equal to 5.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Fountain Chooser 0004 <gen> with a Fountain of Health using The old unit's relative life and mana
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Replace ountain Chooser 0004 <gen> with a Fountain of Mana using The old unit's relative life and mana

Easy.

Hawk that trigger will not function.
You could make a trigger like Hawk's just better. There are a bunch of ways to solve this but maybe this requires the least explanation.

(Random integer number between 0 and 1)
And the if statement should check if the random int is == 0 or not
Then create your fountain.

I will give you a trigger in one second.

• Random
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • [B] Set RandomNumber = (Random real number between 0.00 and 1.00)
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)[/B]
        • If - Conditions
          • RandomNumber Greater than or equal to 5.00
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Fountain Chooser 0004 <gen> with a Fountain of Health using The old unit's relative life and mana
        • Else - Actions
          • Unit - Replace ountain Chooser 0004 <gen> with a Fountain of Mana using The old unit's relative life and mana

Easy.

Where is this Set RandomNumber area in the trigger commands. I am really new to this stuff =/

 

[Freiddie]

Or you can just use random groups (Advanced > Random Groups menu). It's more friendly and no triggers required. Put Fountain of Mana and Health in, and give each 50% chance.

It's a real variable.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Even though you only randomize once here you should not use a real variable. An integer is smaller and faster to randomize, I believe.

• Random
• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set RandomInteger = (Random Integer number between 0 and 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
    • RandomInteger equal to 1
    • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Create a fountain of mana
    • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Create a fountain of life
