[Trigger] iv got some problems with buildable gates

[millzy]

iv made my gates 5 gates horizontal open/horizontal closed/vertical open/vertical closed/vertical closed dummy(for building)

iv got this trigger witch turns the vertical gates vertical but when i build the gates side by side (||)

the first gate is fine but when i build the second gate the second gate ends up some where els but still vertical
e.g

• vertical gate turn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Gate Closed (V) (dummy)
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
        • Unit - Create 1 Gate Closed (V) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing 0.00 degrees
      • Else - Actions

then also what trigger can i add to make the gate play the open animation?
i tryed but didnt work

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • ((Ability being cast) Equal to open Gate(H) or ((Ability being cast) Equal to open Gate(V))
• Actions
  • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s death alternate animation

In your first potion of code you specify the triggering unit to be the one that finnished building the construction, you remove this unit, and you try to place something at the position of that removed unit, basically what happens is that the game tries to place something of which you removed the coordinates of, what you'd want to do is, to save the coordinates(position of the triggering unit) and save it in a point variable.

for your second part of code, if your gate is the actual caster of the ability, it should work, if another unit casts the spell, you should specify to the gate that you built.

Keep in mind the triggering unit, is basically the unit you called in your event.

It looks like what it's doing is sticking the gate where the peasant is.

so set the point like this?

• vertical gate turn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Gate Closed (V) (dummy) (human)
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Gate_Pos = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
        • Unit - Create 1 Gate Closed (V) (human) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Gate_Pos facing 0.00 degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Gate_Pos)
      • Else - Actions

EDIT: i tryed it and it didnt work =(

there peasent moves when it start to build the gate

Bump

Maybe he based the gate on a normal building and its collision map is a square so it is too close to the other gate? Check the collision size of the gate and the pathing map in object editor.

 

[millzy]

when you build somthing the green squares display the pathing i believe

also what do u mean he ... i made the gates

 

[FlameSoul]

Why don't you use destructible-open/close/destroy gate to open the gate??

 

[millzy]

because they are buildings
i want the gates to be buildable you cant build destructible

 

[tml616]

you can't open or close buildings even if they use the gate model, so you must completely trigger the construction process. Personally I would give the builders a spellbook "build gates" with all the gates as spells inside based on channel. Then you use a trigger "unit finishes casting" and place the DESTRUCTABLE gate.

you cant controll Destructable to open and close it

to open and close buildings you have 2 of the same gate and one with no pathing so you can walk though them and use the bear form morph ability to switch between them the thing is my vertical gates dont work when i build them side by side they end up some where els from where u first built them

aslo my trigger to make the open gate play the open animation wont work

 

[tml616]

can you pre-place them side by side in the editor?

if no, then it's probably the collision/pathing map

if yes, then it's gotta be the script

i cant put them in the editor because in the editor they will be horizontal the trigger turns them vertical...............

i used that tutorial it didnt work it gave me these problems ill add a post there see if any 1 can help me

 

[PvSvN]

it moves it cos the peon is in the way when its finished building and replaces the gate.
you either need to move the peon out of the way first then replace the gate or do like he said and preplace the gates then trigger all the ones you want to change at the start of the game

i've just done a fast test but it works

It moves because they are originally horizontal.

its not the peon its the other gate beside it and if i build this gate by its self not near any other buildings its fine but when i build it beside another building the gate the replaced gate is not in the same spot

i dont know why my animation trigger doesent work

• open gate animations
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to open Gate(H) (Human)
  • Actions

what can i do about that

Why is this If/then/else? As far as I can tell, it isnt needed. Only the second If/Then/Else is needed.

its not the peon its the other gate beside it and if i build this gate by its self not near any other buildings its fine but when i build it beside another building the gate the replaced gate is not in the same spot

i dont know why my animation trigger doesent work

    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to open Gate(H) (Human)
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play (Casting unit)'s Death Alternate animation

Why do you have multiple Or's? Don't need them.

Why not try using a vertical model?

 

[millzy]

because im going to have more than one gate
e.g iron gate,demon gate and so on

 

[CrueIIntentions]

Did you try using a vertical model of the gates?
