[Trigger] Income

[Ghost765]

Im making an altered melee map, and the basic source of gold is capturing strategic points (similar to DoW). if anyone could help me trigger this, id appreciate it. here's what i want:
For every Strategic point owned by a certain player, he/she recieves 15 every 5 seconds.

Id also like an "-Income" command to find out how much the income the player is recieving

This should work.

+rep, thnx man
eh, i got the first trigger, but im having trouble with the action part of the second trigger
love your avatar


EDIT: I tested my map, and when i do get income, it says doubl free of group and something else in red letters every time i get income
Also, whenever i type in income, it just pops up and says (string(income))
ive changed the name of the "control point" in the "set income =" trigger, to strategic point. please help.

 

[Squiggy]

uhm.. what variable-type is set to your income?
it shall be integer. then do a string to integer conversion

 

[Ghost765]

love how you said "it SHALL be integer."
well, i had set the variable to "string", but then i changed it to integer as you said, but it didnt solve anything -.-

EDIT: Ok, i solved the double free of group red message popping up, i just had to disable the custom script
But the income command still doesnt work

 

[Skudgemuffin]

I'll attach a demo map in a minute.

EDIT: I had to modify the triggers a bit after testing. It works now. Just copy the triggers into your map and it should work.

 

[Ghost765]

kisses skudges feet.
Just a question however, whats the custom script for? i disabled it once in my map and tested it, and the income worked fine (not the command)

 

[Skudgemuffin]

It prevents the unit group from leaking.

 

[Ghost765]

ah, well thnx alot mate. credits will be given

 

[Skudgemuffin]

Glad I could help

Just in case you don't know when testing with NewGen it automatically checks your map for faults and leaks. This won't be shown in the regular wc3.

NewGen checks for leaks? News to me...

WEHelper checks JASS and so on but I didn't think it checked leaks.

love your avatar

seconded, Skudge's avatar is amazing.

 

[Ghost765]

I ain't 100% sure but it does check the faults in your trigger and shows it in the in game game messages..

 

[Ghost765]

yah it does, you can still continue with the map, but of course, there will be leaks.
