limiting

[MaskGT]

I need trigger to prevent summoning a building 7th time. So that unit/player could only summon it 6 times.

This limit trigger don't work for me:

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
• Player - Limit training of Footman to 6 for (Matching player)

+rep

Thanks,

ehm... what would about

• Player - Limit training of Footman to 6 for Player 1 (Red)

it works for me

 

[Baintastic]

Matching player is an event response.
You'll have to explicitly call that function for each player (use a loop if you want).

 

[MaskGT]

Still don't work even if I use for each player exactly as xD.Schurke said.

One way would be to use a variable to track the number of times a player summons a unit:

• Events:
• A unit finishes being trained
• Conditions:
• Unit-Type of Trained Unit = footman
• Actions:
• Set FootmenTrained[(Player number of (owner of (trained unit)) = (FootmenTrained[(Player number of (owner of (trained unit)) +1)
• If, Then, Else (Multiple funtions):
• IF:
• FootmenTrained is equal to 6
• THEN:
• Disable (Unit-Type, footmen) from being trained by (owner of trained unit)
• ELSE:

I don't have the exact trigger names or anything, but something like that should work.

I used an array variable to distinguish between players just so you wouldn't have to replicate the trigger or variables

 

[Baintastic]

you would also have to take into account a footman dying and then re-enabling the unit-type footman for being trained since you'd have 5 (or fewer) footman at that point.

 

[Arnadath]

Let's say check every 1 second the number of the specific unit for each player and enable it or disable it.

 

[MaskGT]

There is no 'Disable (Unit-Type, footmen) from being trained by (owner of trained unit).' You just throwed information I already knew, but I need it typed correctly.

 

[visionary]

Oh... Yes if that's what he wants, he could do that no problem, just do:

• Events:
• A Unit dies
• conditions:
• Unit-Type is equal to footman
• Actions:
• Set FootmenTrained[(Player number of (owner of (dying unit))] = (FootmenTrained[(Player number of 9owner of (dying unit))] -1)
• Enable training of footmen for (owner of (dying unit))

EDIT:

There is an option under players to disable training of units... I forget what it's called.

 

[MaskGT]

• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Number of living Footman) units owned by Player 1 (Red)) Greater than or equal to 6
    • Then - Actions
    • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Number of living Footman units owned by Player 1 (Red)) Not equal to 6
    • Then - Actions
    • Else - Actions

So what exatly actions is called?
Maybe you mean this? But this don't work.

• Player - Limit training of Footman to 6 for Player 1 (Red)

 

[Baintastic]

- make the footman require a dummy unit
- call the dummy unit "fewer than 6 footmen" or something
- use triggers to change the owner of that unit to and from the player who is making the footman

ie. player has 6 footman then change owner of dummy unit to neutral passive, player has less than 6 footman then change owner of dummy unit back to that player.
you'll have to make one dummy for each player and store them in an array for easy access.

 

[Arnadath]

i think you just can kill the building you dont want to be trained emediately after it is started building and refund all the mone back to the player

 

[MaskGT]

Baintastic that's a very hard way to make it. And I don't completly understand how to do it your way. Either you make it and attach triggers done or I will have to use other way.

 

[visionary]

Uhg... If only i had world editor in front of me... there is an oddly named trigger that disables training of units for players, under the players heading.

 

[MaskGT]

there isn't

 

[visionary]

Player - Make (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Unavailable for training/construction by (Picked player)

From the Hero Selection Systems tutorial - - Its called something weird that you wouldn't think would do it. look it up.

sorry dude, I'm at work.

visionary has a good way of doing it.

variables:
* an array of integers - call it footmen_count

increment the count when a footman is trained
decrement the count when a footman dies

index the variable based on the player number

 

[MaskGT]

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Actions
  • Player - Limit training of BUILDING to 6 for Player 1 (Red)
  • Player - Limit training of BUILDING2 to 6 for Player 1 (Red)

Well I tried this and it worked, maybe I have to create new trigger for each player? Because if I try to put everything in one trigger it don't works.

Anyway, +rep for your help.

 

[Vulcano]

try this for all players

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Limit training of Footman to 6 for (Player((Integer A)))

 

[MaskGT]

Thanks, dude. Much easier and faster.
