[Trigger] If player kill x number of creep trigger x will be activated

[thomassn]

Hi Guys

I'm a average Starcraft 1 map maker, who recently has started on making Warcraft 3 maps.

In Starcraft 1 you could make a trigger, which was activated if player x kills x number of units.

My question is: How to make a trigger in Warcraft 3 Worldedit, which are activated if player x kills x number of units?

:v i cant understand what u said sorry for that

Create an integer array variable "killCount".

Event:
Unit - A Unit dies
Action:
set tmpInt = PlayerNumberOf(OwnerOf(KillingUnit))
Set killCount[tmpInt] = killCount[tmpInt] + 1
If killCount[tmpInt] == 100 then ....

tmpInt is only an integer variable which should simplify it.

Can you write here a simple step-by-step?

Okay... I havent used variables before, so please explain for me, what is variables good for and how do I make them?

You can save data into a variable, and use this data later by using this variable.

You can crate it in the variable editor. It's a green X in trigger edtiro. A variable can be overwritten as often as you want, once it's created.

Use the "Set Veriable" action to set your variables. (store data into it)

And well, integer are not comma numbers like: 0,1,2,3,... so we can use this variable type as a counter.

Each time a unit gets killed you can increase the counter for killing player.

We use integer[array] here, because each player needs his own counter.

We also use the PlayerNumber of the players to get the correct index in the array of the integer. Thats why we increase counter[playerNumber]. (so it get's specific)

Maybe you should read some tutorials, I quickly found this: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/variables.php

This is a little inaccurate.
All variables are pointers. That means they point to objects in memory. They do not save / store anything.

 

[IcemanBo]

If you create a variable it reserves memory. And if you set the variable, it works with the reserved memory. (you change the bits in reserved memory)

And yes the variable only points on this part of memory, you are right. Did not want to explain all in detail.

"Set TempInt = (Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))" <- do you select "Set Variable" in "Configure Action"?

 

[LordDz]

Yes.

 

[thomassn]

If I put in my variable, it demands, that I also select "index"?

 

[LordDz]

Nope.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Only if you made the variable an array.
Your tempInt should not be an array. Your other variable needs to be an array and the index is tempInt.
Please look up a tutorial on variables to ether understand them.

Thx for the tutorials and the quick response.

I managed to - almost - now to make a trigger now, after the reading the tutorials.

My last problem/issue is wrong math operator

As shown with a red arrow on the picture, it doesnt get the same math operators like AKA.GywGod133's picture - why?

 

[deathismyfriend]

Click set variable. Then on left click antalkills[]. On right side click arithmetic option.
Then on left side choose the variable on right keep it as one.

It is working - thank for very much

I have attached the map if anyone in the future what to make that kind of trigger

You might want to skip past WC3 straight to SC2. Seeing how WC3 is closer to the age of SC1 than it is to SC2...

Be aware that locations ("Points" in GUI) do leak in WC3. This is because WC3 has no garbage collection. There is also no GUI action to remove the locations and prevent the leak. You will need to use a line of JASS custom script to do so. Other types that leak are groups ("Unit Groups" in GUI), forces ("Player Groups" in GUI) and special effects.

The day I buy a new computer, I will go to SC2 my current computer runs SC2 average.

Oh thx for info about lacks. I try to avoid them and look at JASS custom script
