[Trigger] Integer Loop

Neptix · Feb 26, 2019

Hey i tried to store all my heroes in some variables but i never really understood how to get this working.

Basically i need a Loop Trigger that understands every time a Player, for example Player 1's hero gets Instant moved to Player 1's region.

But i am not sure how to make the game understand which hero is picked by which player, or how to set which region belongs to which player, and then put in a loop action.

This is how the Trigger looks so far

Timed Instant TP

  - Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Malte

  - Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Thomas
  - Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Carsten
  - Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Joe
  - Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Martin

Do players have 1 heroes or more than 1?

mmtt · Feb 26, 2019

I am not exactly sure what are you trying to do, could you explain it in detail?

Overfrost · Feb 26, 2019

Some explanations to what's happening here.

These 2 yield the same result.

Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Ian
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Malte
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Niklas
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Thomas
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Carsten
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Joe
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Martin
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Alexandra
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Sam
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Sørn
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Echolicious

Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = Echolicious

These 2 also yield the same result.

Set SoloArenaPoint = (Center of Player 1 Arena <gen>)
Set SoloArenaPoint = (Center of Player 2 Arena <gen>)
Set SoloArenaPoint = (Center of Player 3 Arena <gen>)
Set SoloArenaPoint = (Center of Player 4 Arena <gen>)
Set SoloArenaPoint = (Center of Player 5 Arena <gen>)
Set SoloArenaPoint = (Center of Player 6 Arena <gen>)

Set SoloArenaPoint = (Center of Player 6 Arena <gen>)

This is probably what you want to do.

Set Hero[(Player number of (Player 1 (Red)))] = Ian
Set Hero[(Player number of (Player 2 (Blue)))] = Malte
Set Hero[(Player number of (Player 3 (Teal)))] = Niklas
...
Set Hero[(Player number of (Player 11 (Dark Green)))] = Echolicious

Which is actually the same as:

Set Hero[1] = Ian
Set Hero[2] = Malte
Set Hero[3] = Niklas
...
Set Hero[11] = Echolicious

And as such, you'd want to do this loop.

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 11, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - ...

I'm not sure what you're trying to do inside the loop, and to what point each hero got moved, so I'll leave it as above.

Your Move line is out of the loop, and you should use the Value of integer A instead. Also your SoloArenaPoint should be an array of regions. The way you setting it up, SoloArenaPoint will always be (Center of Player 6 Arena <gen>):

Alright i am trying to make every players hero get moved to each own arena every time the TimeEvent expires. And yes every player only has 1 hero.

And sorry if i left it out the whole reason it needs to be a loop is because every time the last hero gets Moved back to base, it has to restart the countdown timer for my TimeEvent, so people can see when the next battle will happen.

The loop that you meant is periodic loop eh? I thought that it's the integer loop block (as the title said).

Anyway, each player's hero variable should be assigned when they picked the hero. If their arena-location is fixed for the entire game, then this should be done alongside the former. Otherwise it's re-assigned whenever necessary. To do these you'd need 1 unit-array and 1 point-array. If you don't understand how arrays work, think of them like boxes that contain any number of things of the same kind, labelled with numbers starting from 0.

In this case, label each unit/point by the player-number. It's very straightforward, 1 for Player 1, 2 for Player 2, etc. Example:

Set Hero[(Player number of (Player 1 (Red)))] = Ian
Set SoloArenaPoint[1] = (Center of Player 1 Arena <gen>)

EDIT:
First of all, please don't double post.
Then on the matter, there's a lot of no in those triggers. Sorry can't explain them all atm mate.

      - Set Hero[10] = Sørn
      - Set Hero[11] = Echolicious
    - Else - Actions

Double post?
Does it double post if i edit ?
Sorry if so !

And no problem thanks for even helping

There are some unit specific events that some references only work with them. For example: you can't use ability being cast condition because your event is map init. It only works with a unit starts effect of an ability, begin channeling etc. Also triggering unit only works with unit specific events like a unit enters region, starts the effect of an ability etc.

To make things easier, if your heroes are created after map load, meaning they are not pre generated, you can simply use a unit enters playable map area, then add a condition if the unit is a hero or not then save it into a variable.

That sounds smart! I made this but it wont load the heroes it actually crash my pc

I am assuming this is a hero pick system. If so this is not the good approach of doing it.

It is

and you right, i have to research how to make a double click pick system

it worked tho with a Map initialization as Event

You should try looking for tutorials mate. I'm talking about the basics here.

- Set Point[3] = (Center of Player 3 <gen>)

I am, actually constantly. its just, not every tutorial is that useful, like the loop thingy it makes sense if you have no unit stored in a variable, but now knowing that you cant store group units the same way as units makes a big differences. also as Aeryn mentioned triggering unit only works with unit specific events. they don't explain that stuff in the tutorials at least not what i read.
