How to allow only 3 teams to target an creep shop ?

I got a problem in Footmen Frenzy map, players from other team can from fx left corners shops... is there a way i can make it possible that only 3 players from top left corner can buy from the shop in there base ?

 

[Lifee_72]

change the shop owner to 1 of the 3 players in the team,and enemies shouldn't be able to buy from the shop if i remember well.

 

[Chaosy]

lifes soloution should work but then make sure to make it un killable so they dont kill your shop

 

[shinji]

If your victory condition is bad, no one can be able to win. So be careful. Don't set the victory conditions to melee victory conditions.

i cant find any "Shop Owner" option, can someone specify how to change this ?

Change the owner of the unit.

 

[stimmedmarine]

how do i do that ? what is the options name ? shall i look in object iditor or the world editor window ?

 

[stimmedmarine]

can someone be more specified ?

 

[helekiller]

go to the properties of the unit... double click it and just change the owner. if they arent placed at start or u wanne keep the color, u can do it with a trigger

• trigger
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Change ownership of your shop 0005 <gen> to Player 1 (Red) and Retain color

 

[stimmedmarine]

but i can only pick 1 number of player when clicking on the unit proberties... ? i need to add force 1 = 3 players = 3 Colours.

 

[MooNek]

and you need only one...
let me explain

3 Players are allied
1 Player has shop
2 other players that are allied can buy items at this shop
so you need only one owner...

or make 4 players team 3 Human and 1 AI make them allied and make the shop owner equal to AI player

understand?


edit:
oh and if you want to make only 3 teams (like in topic name) not players, can buy in this shop... you have to make additional player (for example 12 Brown) and make him owner of the shop then use triggers to set alliance with these teams players with him

 

[stimmedmarine]

and if the player owning the shop arent on the game ? team mates can still buy ?

 

[MooNek]

give me few minutes

edit:
You can make trigger which will change owner when the first one will leave the game

edit2:
oh you don't need it you can still buy when the owner leaves the game

 

[shinji]

Yes. If you are allied to the owner of the shop, you can use the shop. It's just something like arcane vault in the melee game.

 

[stimmedmarine]

enemies can still buy from the shop, but it has a red enemy circle around the shop... how to make it not possible for enemy players to buy from it ?

 

[Hashjie]

Well you could clear the selection when an enemy selects the shop...

Something like this:

• Clear Selection
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 9 (Gray) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 12 (Brown) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • Multiple ConditionsAnd - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Goblin Merchant
        • ((Triggering player) is an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to (==) True
  • Actions
    • Selection - Clear selection for (Triggering player)

 

[stimmedmarine]

arent there some easier way to do this ?

 

[Hashjie]

I thought this was pretty basic.. Really, really basic actually..
There are other solutions though, but this seemed the easiest one in my eyes.

If you're having problems doing this, just tell us and we'll explain how to do it correctly and how it works.
Also, you might want to read up on some GUI tutorials if you are having trouble with this trigger, this is fundamental basics of GUI.


Here is what you'll need to use in the trigger:

• Clear Selection
  • Events
    • Player - Selection Event
  • Conditions
    • And - Multiple Conditions
      • Conditions
        • Unit-Type Comparison
        • Boolean Comparison
  • Actions
    • Selection - Clear Selection For Player

 

[Matarael]

Can't you just make the ability to "Sell" target allied units only instead? I haven't tried it myself but it should work, right?

 

[Hashjie]

Yeah, you could also take a look at arcane vault.

Shop Sharing and Shop Purchase Item abilities.
Items Made instead of Items Sold.

Should fix your problem too...
There are lots of solutions actually, it's just a matter of what you preferr.

 

[stimmedmarine]

maybe, but i cant find an option like that... someone knows an already implentet option to give allied units rights buying items ?

Yes, it's in my previous post xD
Just look at Arcane Vault.
If you put 2 arcane vaults on the map one of yourself and one of the enemy you'll see that you're unabled to buy items from the enemy shop but only from your own.

Just add these two abilities to the shop:
Shop Sharing and Shop Purchase Item
Then make sure that you put the items in the Items Made section instead of Items Sold.
Now the owner or shared owner of the shop are the only ones that can buy items from the shop.

 

[stimmedmarine]

the shop is not selling items, its selling units, what to do then ?

"Just add these two abilities to the shop:
Shop Sharing and Shop Purchase Item" this i have done now

Ow, I've missread. That kind of changes the situation. Just give me a while to figure it out

EDIT: if you remove the Select Unit ability you will be unabled to buy units from enemy shops.
However you will be abled to buy units from your own shop at all times, even when no one is in range of the shop.

(Forget about the Shop Sharing and Shop Purchase Item part)
