[Trigger] If condition does not work

[PROXY]

Hey guys. I'm currently facing a weird problem I've never encountered before.

I have a second hero next to my main one, which works as a bag and is always with the first one. It also acts as a brewery station, so always after a certain time you simply have to click a spell to brew a potion.

As for now, I have two potions. (see screenshots)



Problem is, that no matter which spell I click, there are always both items generated.

There are different spells for each potion, I even based them off other abilities (warstomp and the MK equivalent) just to be sure.

Yet it still creates both items every time my unit uses one of the two spells.

Any ideas?

Try to put both ifs inside the same trigger.

 

[PROXY]

Ah true, that could do the trick. I'll try it.

Edit: Still doesn't work. I'm clueless.



Edit2: Interestingly enough though, the abilities completly ignore their given cooldown.

hey Proxy,
it may be the channel event. Can you maybe change this to "starts the effect of an ability".

I dont get what "the abilities completly ignore their given cooldown." means ...

 

[Rheiko]

try using generic unit event

• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

I dont get what "the abilities completly ignore their given cooldown." means ...

It means the ability won't go to cooldown phase after it finishes being cast, even though it should.

Thanks guys, tried all of these, none do work though.

Is it maybe because I've set all the values of the spell to zero so it can't start an effect?

Are they both based off the same ability and or have the same order ID?

Also, you can just use [TRIGGER][/TRIGGER] tags next time instead of taking a screenshot (;

 

[Emm-A-]

@KILLCIDE It seems like the game thinks, they have the same order ID, right?

@PROXY as far as I know, the "effect event" should work anyway, but it would not hurt to reset everything.
To answer KILLCIDEs question fully, what means MK equivalent of warstomp? Mountain King equivalent? then it most probably really IS the same order ID, so KILLCIDE's guess was right

 

[KILLCIDE]

I believe having two of the same order ID's on a unit / Hero will make both abilities go off at once if either one is casted. I have always avoided this problem by using Channel and or making sure that a unit / Hero didn't have two of the same default abilities, so I'm unsure.

If you based both abilities off the same one, and that ability is not Channel, then you won't be able to change the order ID. Channel is the only ability in the World Editor that actually has any changes when you change their order id. You either choose another default ability for one of them, or you base both off Channel and just change the order ID.

At first they were based off of the same abilities, later (as I assumed it would be because of that) I recreated them, one basing off of war-stomp and one of thunderclap (I wrote MK-equivalent as I couldn't remember the english name for thunderclap ^^)

They also do not have the same order ID.

 

[KILLCIDE]

I totally missed your sentence on that. My mistake.

Do you mind attaching the map with just those triggers / abilities ? If you're okay with attaching your map, that's fine too.

 

[PROXY]

Sure, take a look.

It's for the mini mapping contest but I don't think it will be a problem.

The hero can be found in the bottom right corner and the alchemy station itself is -500 under the ground. They are already selected in the trigger menu too.

 

[Rheiko]

I think I see the problem. You made "Brew Swallow" and "Brew Thunderbolt" based on the same ability. You only changed the orderstring of "Brew Swallow" to stomp and unfortunately, it doesn't change the order ID. So the solution is, you should make a totally new ability based on something different for one of them. It can be Thunder Clap, War Stomp, Roar, or anything. But they mustn't be based on the same ability. Hope this helps.

 

[PROXY]

Lol, I actually did that, but must have deleted the wrong duplicated one. I'll take a look into it right away.

Okay so it finally works right guys Only problem remaining is the cooldown one. Any ideas on that?

 

[Emm-A-]

so wait, how did you solve it? So it was the order strings? ...

as for the cool down I tried your map and I have no clue at all. If you cannot solve it, why not using channel anyway? Other than that, there is a possible work around to remove the ability (you have t give an ability first at map init to remove it later. Preset abilities cannot be removed) and use a dummy cool down ability.
But I am quite sure, the other guys maybe know whats going on there. off topic: witcher

 

[KILLCIDE]

Lol

If you based both abilities off the same one, and that ability is not Channel, then you won't be able to change the order ID. Channel is the only ability in the World Editor that actually has any changes when you change their order id.

​

As for the cooldown, something is interrupting the Alchemy Station, thus not making it possible for the trigger to run. Setting the backswing & cast point to 0 fixes it.


OT
I noticed that your icons get the "green" box issue whenever I opened up the menu. I checked out your texture paths and noticed you spell "ReplaceableTextures\..." wrong. You spelled it as Replacebale.


EDIT
I found the issue. You are using the GUI function "Unit - Move Unit (Instantly)" every 0.03 seconds, which interrupts all orders. If you want to keep the backswing & cast point, then you can use SetUnitX() and SetUnitY() (I personally believe it should be 0 anyway given the nature of the Alchemy Station). Both natives move the unit without interrupting orders.

 

[Wietlol]

@KILLCIDE why you always forget Charge Gold and Lumber?
It also has the base id as field.

 

[KILLCIDE]

I recall talking about it, but I couldn't remeber if it was about the order ids or if they are one of the spells that doesn't interrupt current move orders.
