how to make an issue order target an 3 diffrent players after the timer expires

[gritpatrick]

the problem is i want a player for example player red to attack an enemy player lets say player blue and then when the timer expires player red next wave of units attack player teal and so on.

something like this what you want?
where gametimer is a timer variable
playerpoints is a point array
and playernumber is an integer variable

Hidden

• init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start gametimer as a Repeating timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

• main
  • Events
    • Time - gametimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack Ground playerpoints[playernumber]
        • Set playernumber = (playernumber + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • playernumber Equal to (Number of players)
      • Then - Actions
        • Set playernumber = 1
      • Else - Actions

i tested it and it doesnt work

Well, what is playerpoints, actually? It's a point variable but where is it? How do you set it? At map init, all integers are equal to 0. So at first, units will attack playerpoints (player 0). Only after 2 expirations of the timer will it work because you only set it up to 1, not 0. That's why it didn't work. Arrays actually can start from 0.

So change the If/Then/Else to: playernumber equal to ((number of players) -1)
set playernumber = 0

Edit: and try to preplace playerpoints.

Still doesnt work

 

[blacksheepwalll]

right you are en_tropy
i made the assumption the initial value was set to 1 cause thats what i normally do so the variable number is the same as the player number
but the reason it doesnt work is because i accidentally put the Set playernumber = (playernumber + 1) as part of the loop where it should after it

Edit: oh yea about those playerpoints you want to put a region in each base then declare the point the middle of the region on map initialisation or something like that anyway

        • Set counter = 1

this should work, its very basic and maybe has leaks but others here can help you to change the leaks in this

you need to set the countdown timer into the variable not only create it

• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Start timer_variable as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
  • Set timer_variable = (Last started timer)

i never used timers, so i think you are right^^

 

[gritpatrick]

um i dont get whats going on in the triggers

 

[Cryze666]

can you explain wich points you are not understanding?

 

[gritpatrick]

um the different language makes it hard for me to follow along with my triggers. and i dont no what type of variables you used

 

[Cryze666]

atm i have not enough time, i will try to give you an description of what im doing and what variables i used later, if you can tell how to set the language of the editor to english i can upload the triggers complete in english

 

[gritpatrick]

ok i

 

[gritpatrick]

ill try*

 

[Cryze666]

do not double post*

btw.: my english is not the best please kill me now^^ xD

variables i used are:"YourSpawn" - is not a variable, its an area where the units spawn (if you dont have one create one at the position where the units are spawning)
"Timer1" - just a timer

"Position" - area - this is the target area where the spawned units should move (so you need to create 1 area for each position where the unit should move after the timer expires. you make the areas to "position" in the third trigger i posted)

"Enemy 1" and "Enemy 2" are no variables too, like "YourSpawn" they are just areas (the ones wich are needed for fpr position in the third trigger)

so thats all
