how to do -lvl max?

[CHA_Owner]

I am making a whole new type of Hero Line Wars and i need to know how to make the -lvl max (lvl = level) trigger i already have it so it takes the gold needed and it says how many levels were added to the hero but i need the actual trigger that will add the levels (in GUI please).

 

[TriggerHappy]

Not really sure what you mean, try explaining better if I got it wrong.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -lvl as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 5)) Equal to -lvl <space here>
  • Actions
    • Hero - Set (Triggering unit) Hero-level to (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 6, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))), Hide level-up graphics

 

[Just_Spectating]

wouldn't the substring have to be 6? in order to have that space there.

(-lvl 7) rather (-lvl7)

 

[TriggerHappy]

-lvl is 4 characters long, adding the space is 5.

 

[Just_Spectating]

and so you want to count the 6th character. (the number he wants the level should be in the 6th character)

if it still works on the 5th character then it really doesnt matter.

Fixed, it's late

heres my trigger that i've done so far:

Events:
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Conditions:
((Triggering player) Current gold) Greater than or equal to 20000
Actions:
Set lvlmod = (((Triggering player) Current gold) / 20000)
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Hero - Set (Triggering unit) Hero-level to (0 + 1), Show level-up graphics)
Player - Set (Triggering player) Current gold to ((((Triggering player) Current gold) - (lvlmod x 20000)) + 0)
Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: ((String(lvlmod)) + lvl added to hero)

but i cant figure out why it wont add the levels.

as in how to add as many level's as you can with the gold you have.

 

[Just_Spectating]

you set "triggering unit" hero-level to 0+1

change "" to PICKED unit

 

[TriggerHappy]

• Hero - Set (Triggering unit) Hero-level to (0 + 1), Show level-up graphics)

There is no triggering unit.

 

[CHA_Owner]

so if i change it to matching unit it will work?

 

[Just_Spectating]

it should unless the world hates you.

 

[TriggerHappy]

it should unless the world hates you.

It should be (Picked Unit).

 

[Just_Spectating]

Oh right, haha its picked unit. indeed.

 

[CHA_Owner]

okay the world hates me it said 50 lvl added to hero then it even took my gold but it still didnt give my hero the actual levels

kk ill try picked unit ty

 

[CHA_Owner]

nope same as before it still isnt adding the levels

 

[TriggerHappy]

Probably because your setting the level to (0 + 1).

If you don't get my point... 0+1 = 1.

Your just setting your hero to level 1.

 

[reza sword2]

Yeah, what's with the (0 + 1)?? Could be the source of all your problems. Shouldn't it be this?

• Hero - Set (Picked unit) Hero-level to ((Hero level of (Picked unit)) + 1), Show level-up graphics

Or...

Maybe you haven't modified the max level heroes can reach?

Select Gameplay Constants... in the Advanced menu which is in between the Tools and Module menu.

A little window thing should show up, scroll down until you see Hero Maximum Level.

Set the value to your desired max level.

 

[Smiddle]

That's because (0 + 1) is always equal to 1 and always will be.

Use ((Hero level of (Picked unit)) + 1) instead.

Edit: Didn't realise there was a second page when writing this.

 

[GhostWolf]

Strings (as any array) start from index 0, not 1.

 

[CHA_Owner]

is still isnt working heres my new code:

-lvl max
Events:
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -lvl max as An exact match
Conditions:
((Triggering player) Current gold) Greater than or equal to 20000
Actions:
Set lvlmod = (((Triggering player) Current gold) / 20000)
Hero - Set (Picked unit) Hero-level to ((Hero level of (Picked unit)) + 1), Show level-up graphics
Player - Set (Triggering player) Current gold to ((((Triggering player) Current gold) - (lvlmod x 20000)) + 0)
Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: ((String(lvlmod)) + lvl added to hero)

AND my level max in gameplay constants is 999

 

[Smiddle]

There is no "unit group - pick every unit blah blah blah" action... therefore, nothing happens.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Please use the trigger tags..

 

[Smiddle]

I think that the trigger you are looking for is:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)

 

[CHA_Owner]

im using picked unit as in the unit that is selected since i want each player to do it seperately so i dont need a unit group.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Picked unit only works for unit groups.

You have to use units currently selected by triggering player.

 

[Smiddle]

Yeah, that will however only work if the player currently has selected the hero. It will also allow players to level up the heroes of other people...

You can add conditions preventing that.

 

[Smiddle]

Yes. I do, however, think that it's easier to pick all heroes owned by the triggering player (although it will only work if every player has got one hero only).

You all forgot that when you buy 2 levels, you dont level up 2 times with that trigger, this one should do that (i copyd the trigger from an other post, and added soem things, this is NOT WE stuff, i just wrote what i thougt was there in WE GUI)

 

[reza sword2]

Just out of curiousity, Yixx... what happens if lvlmod = 5,8 or some other decimal numbers?

 

[Yixx]

hmmm, i dont know, that is why there should be a bigger calculation, or a more effient one, to make sure that you dont spend all your money, like 45000 for 2 lvls,, when a lvl is 20000

How did you do the Hero-level of picked unit +1 etc

 

[CHA_Owner]

nvm i got it ty and +rep

 

[Guishiu]

LOL, ok, you "SET" your heroes level to 0 then +1. You need to set its level to "Current Level of Hero" then +1.

If that still dont do it, check out my Herolinewar I made it has the trigger you need. Its DBZ

Ok, sorry. Didnt see that there were more pages.
