[Trigger] In request of some help and/or feedback. (Trigger leak?)

[HawK047]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a Zombie tag map (Very original.) and it seems ive become stuck

You see, one of the survivor players needs to be able to pickup a weapon but once i do so, my game crashes..

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Your problem is not in the items themselfs, its in the actions they make when you USE them.

Since you didn't put a X on the "Stats - Use Automatically When Acquired", it uses it the moment you acquire it.

Your actions at usage are the cause, and its also pretty obvious, since you are trying to move items from the inventory of a REMOVED unit.

You should move all items to some place the players can't see, replace the hero, and then move them back.

Yep, seems to have fixed the pickup problem, thanks

Though i still seem to have problems with the items, i tried moving the items to a region and THEN replacing the unit, but that also ends up with a crash, ive even tried desperate things like a wait timer between the two actions and dropping everything, it just doesnt seem to budge:/

Thanks for resolving the first issue though=D

Put your new trigger.

Sorry for taking me so long, New years eve and i didnt realy wanted to miss it

Heres the trigger, i couldnt realy find an action for the items once they where stored in the Item Storage Region, since if i took Random Item in Region it could leak and give the replaced unit the items of another, heres how far ive come with the trigger.

        • Wait 0.50 seconds
        • Unit - Replace (Hero manipulating item) with a Survivor {Shotgun using The old unit's life and mana

Because i didnt know what action to end the trigger with i thought i could have just made the items drop so the replaced unit could pick them up once the replacing is done, but also this ended up as a crash.

Ive looked for wrong settings on the items this time, but i couldnt find anything.:/

Just make a small region for each player.

Couldn't see why the 2nd trigger crashed... weird.

And just as a tip, use Triggering Unit as much as you can because it works better usually and bugs less (in your trigger for example, you can use it instead of "Hero manipulatin item").

This should work. I dunno why if it doesn't.

I think it will set the variables to "No Item" when you remove them from the hero.

 

[humpadumpa]

Don't think so. Because it updates 'every 0.15 sec of time' and the time between the actions is like 0.0000001 sec

[EDIT]: Or did u mean that it removes the item? It doesn't (I hope xD), cus it says "Drop the item blablabla"

 

[HawK047]

I'll get right on it.
Is there any way i can just paste the posted triggers into my map or do i need to manually insert them?

 

[humpadumpa]

You need to make ur own triggers

 

[HawK047]

Ive had some trouble getting the right actions, but it works now, thanks!
