How to detect when a gate door is destroyed

[hoihoi8]

Hi, in my map a builder can make a gate.

When an enemy destroys the gate door, the shell of the gate remains.

I would like to destroy the shell of the gate when the door is destroyed so my builder can make another gate.

How could I do this?

Just use this :

• Unit Dies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Your Gate
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Dying unit) from the game

This will remove the unit so that nothing will remain.

Better use "Triggering Unit" instead, and wait for the dying anim of the gate to end using "Wait X seconds" (X is the anim duration).

 

[hoihoi8]

I'm suspicious that a gate dying would trigger a unit death event since it is a destructible.

I already tried the destruction death event and it didn't pick up the gate being destroyed.

I'll give it a try after work and let you know how it goes.

Man go to gameplay constants, check "custom gameplay constants" and reduce decay time for structures to 0.

The gate dies fine. It's the shell of the gate that remains. How will decay time at 0 help?

Nah just remove the gate right after it dies and use some special effect on point it died to make it look like destroyed (something like WTF BOOOM )

The trouble is, how do you detect a gate has died? It doesn't trigger the destructible death event because the shell of the gate is still there. It doesn't trigger the unit death either.

Gate death didn't trigger this

• has a destructible died
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within Gate Region 1 <gen> dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play InnerFireBirth <gen>

or this

• has a destructible died
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within Gate Region 1 <gen> dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play InnerFireBirth <gen>

Weird...
Look Ive got an idea
Make 2 buildings, one is walkable on it like circle of power, one isnt
both have gate model
You have an ability to morph between em and when you morph to walkable one you make it play death animation

So it should be fine I think
I mean use a building instead of destructable

• has a destructible died
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within Gate Region 1 <gen> dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions

whats wrong with that trigger?

 

[Vegavak]

• Destructible - Dungeon Gate (Horizontal) 3069 <gen> dies

Wow.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think he wants a generic destructible event.

 

[SlickR]

oh man, use a different gate lol.
Most of the other gates are completely destroyed, how did you choose a one that only the door breaks, lol.

LOL, cause I thought it looked nice. Didn't even realize other gates were entirely destroyed. I'll look for one of those instead.

EDIT: This statement is 100% false. Tried a bunch of different gates and they all leave a shell preventing you from building on that area again.

{EDIT 1}

• Destructible - Dungeon Gate (Horizontal) 3069 <gen> dies

Wow.

Pretty sure that won't work since the gate is placed during gameplay by my builder. That trigger requires you to select a unit on the map I think, and there are no gates placed in the editor.

Also, the destructible doesn't actually die. Just the gate portion does. I've tried 5 different ways, and a Destructible even death is not triggered when a gate is destroyed and still leaves the shell.

{EDIT 2}
After many many attempts, the solution is.....

• Gate Destroy
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Pick every destructible in Gate Region 1 <gen> and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked destructible) is dead) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Remove (Picked destructible)
          • Else - Actions

 

[SlickR]

LOL, can't believe you are using triggers to remove debris.
gate debris is properly removed after being destroyed in 2 of my maps. checked and confirmed.
but whatever, if those triggers work for you than fine.

 

[Element of Water]

Sure, gate debris is removed, but the gate frame isn't.

 

[manstie]

try reviving the gate then removing it.

Keep it civil. We will not turn this thread into an insult game.

You have been warned. Please continue with your discussion.

How can a builder build destructibles ?
If can , teach me pls ~
Btw , to detect destructibles dead
use 2 trigger .

Trigger 1

• Add Gate to Event
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
• Destructible - Pick every destructible in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Remove Gate <gen> the event (Destructible - (Picked destructible) dies)

Trigger 2

• Remove Gate
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Destructible - Remove (Dying destructible)

Trigger 1 add exist gates to trigger at the game initial . To add gates that build after the game initial (assuming u can build a destructible = =)

Trigger 3

• Add Gate to Event
  • Events
    • Destructible - A Destructible Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Destructible-type of (Constructed Destructible)) Equal to Gate
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Remove Gate <gen> the event (Destructible - (Constructed destructible) dies)

**Well about trigger 3 all these things is not avaiable in worldedit = = Because I don't know whatever method u use to build a destructible , just customize yourself . If can , teach me how to build destructibles.

*Note : Action :

• Wait 2.00 seconds

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.DIRECT REMOVE DESTRUCTIBLE UPON DEAD WILL CAUSE ERROR !!!

 

[hoihoi8]

This is how I am building destructibles.

Create a new building with the model of the destructible you want to create.

I just used a custom farm.

• Gate
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Gate
  • Actions
    • Set DummyPoint_G[(Player number of (Owner of (Constructed structure)))] = (Position of (Constructed structure))
    • Unit - Kill (Constructed structure)
    • Destructible - Create a Gate (Horizontal) at DummyPoint_G[(Player number of (Owner of (Constructed structure)))] facing 0.00 with scale 1.30 and variation 0
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_DummyPoint_G[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetConstructedStructure()))] )
