ITT food system?

[Scratchy57]

Okay, I'm making a survival map and I like the way Island troll tribes food system works, I tried making it close as possible to it, But its not working remotely at all, I was just wondering if someone could whip up a example map for me to learn it? Please and Thank you.


Hmm, Thanks raft, But I was talking about when you kill a creep it drops like hides and bodies, I was wondering how they made the system so that you pick them up and bring them to a fire and use the spell cook and they turn into cooked meat. (Edited this to my main post)

Tell us how the food system works in Island Troll tribes.

• Reduce health&mana
  • Events:
    • Time - Every 1 second of game time
  • Conditions:
  • Actions:
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12 do:
      • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by player (Player(Integer A))) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If/Then/Else - Multiple functions
            • If - Conditions:
              • (Picked unit) is building Equal to False
              • (Picked unit) is hero Equal to True
            • Then - Actions:
              • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 1 )
              • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) - 1 )

• Eat food
  • Events:
    • Unit - Unit uses an item
  • Conditions:
    • ((Triggering unit) is hero) Equal to True
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Your_Item
    • And so on for rest of your food items
  • Actions:
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + 100 )

• Sleep
  • Events:
    • Unit - Unit starts effect of an ability
  • Conditions:
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your_Rest_Ability
    • ((Target unit of ability being cast) is hero) Equal to True
  • Actions:
    • Unit - Set mana of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) + 100 )

raft, you can just pick all those units in the map, no need for the loop.

[Edit] Oh it has creeps to ?

 

[Need_O2]

it will also group the LOCUSTS <whoo sound effect>

[GhostWolf]

You really can't make that yourself ?

 

[Scratchy57]

Honestly...No, Do i make the uncooked meat a unit like a locust that you can load and set by fire and use the cook spell to turn into cooked meat thats in the form of an item?

 

[GhostWolf]

Simply give the fire the item (the fire should have the inventory skill of course), then when a unit casts Cook or whatever you want it to be, check every item in its inventory (unless you make it with 1 slot), if the item is uncooked something, give it the cooked something.

Its pretty much similiar to the upgrading system I made before a few days so you can look here to see how its done (my system was made for 1 slot however so it needs changes for more then 1 slot).

You don't have to load locust units because theres an already made ability which allows you to load dead units. (Like deer and stuff!) I don't know its name, but its natively owned by the meat wagon.

Okay, But how do they make it where the creeps drop numerous corpses like an elk usually drops 7...

 

[GhostWolf]

• Unit - Create a Footman corpse for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area))

 

[Scratchy57]

Thanks, I still am baffled how the elk drop around 5 corpses?

 

[wd40bomber7]

What you need are some super-basic trigger lessons. I would suggest looking through the tuts. on THW.

Its actually amazingly simple, however if you learned how to do it, you'd know 10x more then if I magically told you.
Heres how it would work. You'd say:
Event: Any unit dies.
Condition Unit Type of dying unit = Unit type of elk
Action Create 6 corpses of elk at position of dying unit.

That leaks a location, but you don't have to understand that yet.

 

[GhostWolf]

[nontopic] I just wonder how a elk makes 7 elk bodies when he dies, what, is he's skeleton a Super-Elk-Skelton-Duplication-Skeleton-Mage ? lol.

Yes, I understand that, But there is no such action as dropping multiple corpses, It says,
"Create a (unit) corpse for (player) at (point)"
There is not a multiple choice, If there is please enlighten me.

 

[wd40bomber7]

Use a loop.
For integer A = 1 to 7
Create a corpse of elk at position of dying unit
next

 

[GhostWolf]

You don't want to do that.
More like

• Set Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
• For (integer A) from 1 to 7
  • create a skeleton of elk at Point
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)

 

[Scratchy57]

Ah yes, That makes more sense wolf, Thanks.

 

[wd40bomber7]

GhostWolf the only difference is you covered the leak.. Lol
Though its definitely a good idea to do on a loop like that.

 

[GhostWolf]

Maybe he doesn't know about leaks, but I for one, never (or try to never) give leaking triggers

 

[Scratchy57]

Well, I'm kinda new to map making, And I'm not doing it like everyday so I don't really read, But no I don't know what a leak is..

PS: Mods may close.

 

[GhostWolf]

Since memory leaks are very important thing, especially in GUI since the players usually don't even know they exist, read this.
