Lose Lumber over time ?

[Holmenlund]

hey !

i am making a map ofcause. it is a Fantasy life map where you work etc. etc. and i need to make a trigger which should do so you lose like 1 lumber each second. because i have replaced the lumber with "hunger" and you have to buy things in order to keep you hunger up, if you dont and the hunger hits 0 then you die of starvation.

I have changed the icon and text etc. the only thing i need is this "countdown" thingy to make people lose lumber(hunger) every sec.

Can anyone help ?

Regards

Trigger editor: Periodic Event --> Player - Add Property

And you should not try to keep your hunger up, more like your satiety.

hmm good point there m8 ^^ but then i have to make items which withdraws lumber instead of giving them ? hmmmmmm any suggestions ?

 

[Holmenlund]

An other question to this would now be, how do i make an condition which say that when his "lumber" count hit like 500 then his unit dies ?

 

[WaterKnight]

Just exchange the word "hunger"?

For player property hitting/crossing a certain limit, either immediately check it right after you changed it in trigger via integer comparison --> Player - Player Property function or use the Player - Properties event.

Just exchange the word "hunger"?

Year but then if i do, eksample "starvation" or something. but then every 2 sec then they are added 2 to starvation(lumber) then it is no use to buy item which gives more starvation(lumber)? so i have to change the items i made which gave like 50 lumber etc. to take 50 lumber instead.

For detecting if player lumber drops below certain amount use Event - Player Properies.

 

[Chaosy]

like this?

Player_lumber = interiger array

• less lumber
  • Events
    • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set player_lumber[1] = (Player 1 (Red) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[2] = (Player 2 (Blue) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[3] = (Player 3 (Teal) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[4] = (Player 4 (Purple) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[5] = (Player 5 (Yellow) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[6] = (Player 6 (Orange) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[7] = (Player 7 (Green) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[8] = (Player 8 (Pink) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[9] = (Player 9 (Gray) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[10] = (Player 10 (Light Blue) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[11] = (Player 11 (Dark Green) Current lumber)
    • Set player_lumber[12] = (Player 12 (Brown) Current lumber)
    • Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Current gold to (player_lumber[1] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 2 (Blue) Current gold to (player_lumber[2] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 3 (Teal) Current gold to (player_lumber[3] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 4 (Purple) Current gold to (player_lumber[4] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 5 (Yellow) Current gold to (player_lumber[5] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 6 (Orange) Current gold to (player_lumber[6] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 7 (Green) Current gold to (player_lumber[7] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 8 (Pink) Current gold to (player_lumber[8] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 9 (Gray) Current gold to (player_lumber[9] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 10 (Light Blue) Current gold to (player_lumber[10] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 11 (Dark Green) Current gold to (player_lumber[11] - 1)
    • Player - Set Player 12 (Brown) Current gold to (player_lumber[12] - 1)

 

[Holmenlund]

Hmmmmm How did u make those ones m8 ? i have tried but cant get the same action like u have there : /

Maybe i can pastebin the map, can beg you to do it for me ? haha ^^

 

[Bannar]

@Darkgrom, what not make use of loop? You don't need to set player's current lumber value into variable either.
Trigger can be cut to this:

• less lumber
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Set (Picked player) Current lumber to (((Picked player) Current lumber) - 1)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked player) Current lumber) Equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • // Death everywhere!?
          • Else - Actions

 

[Holmenlund]

Hmmm yea i see, but somehow i cant get my triggers to match yours ? example the - 1 behind the first action and the condition after?

maybe it is just me who cant find it ?

 

[Bannar]

From fiter use: 'Aritmetic' for multiple calculations.

 

[Holmenlund]

Ahhh got it ^^ now how do i do the condition ? and last make the the trigger kill the picked player hero ?

by the way thx for the help ^^

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

a trigger to kill the hero is easy

• Events
  • Time - every 1.0 second of the game
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Player Group - Pick every player in (All Players) and do (Actions)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • ((Picked player).Current lumber) Equal to 0
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in playable map Area and do Actions
        • if (owner of (picked unit)) is equal to (picked player) and (picked unit) is a hero is equal to true then kill (picked unit) else do nothing
    • Else - Actions

Else - Actions

 

[Holmenlund]

Could you guide me through how to make that last trigger m8 ? i can´t seem to figure out how to do it, im quite new at this so

or you could create a map and insert the trigger there, then after attach the the map to your post then i can copy paste the trigger

i would prefer learning it so

 

[13oot-Me]

Post what you have already please.

 

[Holmenlund]

Post what you have already please.

What do u mean m8 ? the trigger ? or ?

 

[13oot-Me]

the trigger haha, sorry I should said that

 

[Holmenlund]

  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Set (Picked player) Current lumber to (((Picked player) Current lumber) - 1)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked player) Current lumber) Equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • // Death everywhere!?
          • Else - Actions

this, i only need to make the execute/kill trigger that unholydarkness made, but im not good at making triggers xD

+ that you need to make the function so that everyplayer loses lumber. do that by make an time event, and player -- add propety and set it to -2.

 

[13oot-Me]

Ok, well when your looking for the actions scroll near the bottom until you see "Unit Group" and it should be the first one for the loop and should read "Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)". Once you have that picked out go ahead and add "Unit - Kill (Picked unit)" to the unit group loop action.

The trigger you have above already makes all players lose 1 lumber every second so no need to add it again

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to say that the unit group loop goes under the "Then" actions of the ITE (if/then/else).

""Unit - Kill (Picked unit)"" yea that far i did came, but i need it to look like he did and i can´t make the rest like he did here:

• if (owner of (picked unit)) is equal to (picked player) and (picked unit) is a hero is equal to true then kill (picked unit) else do nothing

 

[13oot-Me]

That's and AND condition which is two conditions in one. "(Owner of (Picked unit)) equal to (Picked player)" is a Player Comparison condition and "(Picked unit) is a Hero equal to True" is a Boolean condition.

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

did you get it .. sorry for late response but i was in hospital... am okey now and can work with u again

 

[Holmenlund]

ye i know the conditions but how do you attach them to the unit kill trigger ?

i mean i go add action -- unit kill -- now what ?




okay i tried making something and it ended up like this :

okay i tried making something and it ended up like this :

this is an another way and to add the conditions in 1 line just use the simple if .. not the multi functional if
but what u did should work perfectly .. is it ?
regards

 

[Holmenlund]

Nop. nothing happends to anything or anyone :/

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

if you want i will make my trigger in a map and upload it for u.. ? if u cant make it

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

oh and the problem in ur trigger is that u dont pick units so that the use of (picked unit) is for nothing in here .. you didnt actually pick units to to use (picked unit)

 

[Holmenlund]

If you can make the trigger and attach the testmap to me then i would apriciate that m8

but what unit do we pick ? we just need to select all heroes own by the player who triggers the trigger ?. said in an other way the person who hit 0 in lumber/food gets his heroes killed.

 

[D0W3R]

It's so easy, but Im not going to do it for u! Do it your self it will be like a lesson to you...

• decreasing lumber
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Player((Integer A))) Current lumber) Not equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Set (Player((Integer A))) Current lumber to (((Player((Integer A))) Current lumber) - 1)
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player((Integer A)))) and do (Unit - Kill (Picked unit))

Of course u can add condition to improve your system. like this one:

• (((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing) and (((Player((Integer A))) controller) Equal to User)

 

[Holmenlund]

i made this. but again nothing happends when my lumber hits 0. no one dies

 

[13oot-Me]

Here you go, I tested this out until I got it to work properly, which I think I can say no one else will do. By the way, you shouldn't "set" lumber if there is a "add" action instead, it's simpler and easier. If you don't use "set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true" before you create a unit group, it will leak and eventually lag the game since this is being done every second or two.

• Decrease Lumber
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Player((Integer A))) Current lumber) Equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player((Integer A)))) and do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • ((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
                  • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • Player - Add -1 to (Player((Integer A))) Current lumber

Also, when you want to show your trigger, you don;t have to use screenshots. All you have to do is right-click on the trigger name and "Copy As Text" then before you past the trigger type in [trigger ] and after you paste it then you type [/trigger ], but without spaces.

 

[Holmenlund]

Okay i made this:

• Untitled Trigger 024
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Player((Integer A))) Current lumber) Not equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player((Integer A)))) and do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • ((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
                  • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • Player - Add -1 to (Player((Integer A))) Current lumber

But then when i tried to launch the map this thing came up:

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

go to the menu's in object editor .. preferences i think and check "make new variables" or sth like that.. it does automatically generate new variables for ur use

 

[Holmenlund]

Hmmmm yea now the hero dies alright. but he dies no matter what ? and as soon as he revives then he dies again, even if i have 500 lumber :/ ?

it is like it doesn´t check the amount of the player lumber before doing the trigger ?

 

[13oot-Me]

You have the condition checking if lumber = 0 not true then it will kill the unit, set it to true.

Change

• ((Player((Integer A))) Current lumber) Not equal to 0

to

• ((Player((Integer A))) Current lumber) Equal to 0

Don't change anything else, this will work. If this isn't straight forward enough just look back at my post and make your trigger look EXACTLY like the one I gave you.

 

[Holmenlund]

Wooohoooo ! now it works haha !

Thx for all the help guys, i know it must have been annoying helping a noob like me with this shit haha ^^

i´ve added this last trigger to it:

• Events
  • Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Player((Integer A))) Current lumber) Equal to 0
        • Then - Actions
          • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player((Integer A)))) and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • If - Conditions
                  • ((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
                • Then - Actions
                  • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
                  • Wait 10.00 seconds
                  • Player - Add 100 to (Player((Integer A))) Current lumber
                • Else - Actions
        • Else - Actions
          • Player - Add -1 to (Player((Integer A))) Current lumber

so that you dont die as soon as you ress. ^^

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

there is no problem in helping you
its a place for help so ask help when u need it and hopefully u will get it
regards,

 

[Holmenlund]

hehe well thx anyway to you all ^^

i learned much through the experience if u can call it that

Hmmmm it seems that my last added trigger doesn´t work ?

haha i need to ask you again to help me out creating this last trigger and then it will be the end of this Function lol ;D

 

[13oot-Me]

What exactly isn't working, and why is there a wait? I suggest you remove the wait and instead of adding 100 lumber to "Player (Integer A)" try adding it to "Owner of (Picked unit)".

Like UnHolyDarKness says, Hiveworkshop is the place to ask questions no matter how small or noobish one might seem

 

[UnHolyDarKness]

listen i guess that u must add the lumber to the owner of the REVIVING hero ,, so i guess it should be in the reviving trigger !
and about that it does not work i am going to hold by13oot-Me question "What exactly isn't working ?"

 

[Maker]

Waits do not work inside unit group loops.

 

[Darkt3mpl3r]

why dont you just add a negative value to your lumber property ?
