[Trigger] is there a reason why this trigger isn't working?

[Drew_445]

• Farmer Spawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Dies
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 2 (Blue) Dies
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 3 (Teal) Dies
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 4 (Purple) Dies
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 5 (Yellow) Dies
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 6 (Orange) Dies
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 7 (Green) Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Farmer
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Farmer for (Triggering player) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit Group - Remove all units of (Units owned by (Triggering player)) from (Units in (Playable map area))

This trigger is supposed to remove all units of the player whos farmer died, but it won't work for some reason. Any ideas why?

I was also wondering with this trigger:

• Farmers Income
  • Events
    • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Add (Number of units in (Units of type Barrack)) to Player 1 (Red) Current gold

How could I make each "barrack" or w/e unit im using worth 2 or 3 gold instead?

There isn't any triggering player. Please use your... thing... inside your head next time.

2*(Number of ...)?

Using triggering player on the first action worked just fine.

But on the second action(unit group one) triggering player didn't work. Besides triggering unit I can only choose from leaderboard-player in position, event response-previous owner, picked player, matching player, owner of unit/item, random player for player group. So far none of these have worked. So what else could I try?

 

[StaberFire]

Replace all instances of "Triggering Player" with "Owner of Triggering Unit".

Like this?

Cause that didn't change anything =/

 

[PurplePoot]

Umm, you're removing the units from the unit group, not from the game. Also, you should remove before you create a new farmer.

• Actions
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick Every Unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering Unit))) and do Actions
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Remove (Picked Unit) from the game
  • Unit - Create 1 Farmer for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Random point in (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

In addition to purplepoot's reply add the:

• Set variable *dying group* = Units owned by...
• Set variable *stored region* to playable map
• Set variable *your var name* to Random point in *stored region*
• -your actions-
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_*your var name*)
• Custom script: call DestroyRect(udg_*stored region*)

So the trigger won't leak, but not sure does playable map area leak and not sure for the script: call DestroyRect maybe it is call RemoveRect

 

[darkrider]

playable map area is a constant which means it doesnt leak... but a point in it, does

 

[Drew_445]

Thanks very much everyone! This helps my map quite a bit +rep

Just a question, though, is how do I make my buildings burst in flame when they die instead of just disappear? is it a trigger problem, object editor, or gameplay constants thing?

 

[PurplePoot]

If you destroy Playable Map Area, bad things happen (IE: It doesn't work any more).

 

[darkrider]

mmmm... you might replace your dying unit for an special effect using "spawned effects - neutral building explotion" via triggers.

something like

event
unit dies
condition
dying unit is a building == true
action
set Temp_Pos == position of dying unit
special effect - create an especial effect at Temp_Pos using (the effect i told you)
Custom script: call Remove Location(udg_Temp_Pos)

i think that would accomplish what you want.

@Purplepoot
Good to know, hell i remember when once i destroyed All players using custom scripts but i learned from my mistakes.

@Kingz
You don't need a variable for Picked Unit either - that's a constant
