Lose the game when hero dies

[Kabel]

When a player looses his Hero he looses the game.
When there is only one player left in the game with a hero, that player wins the game.



How would you trigger this in an efficent way?

I'm going to try and do this even though I'm not very good with triggers (you might want to let someone else come along and post some kind of better way of doing it ).

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
• Actions
  • -------- You can replace this with any other form of defeat. --------
  • Game - Defeat (Owner of (Triggering unit)) with the message: Whatever
  • -------- This variable would initially be set to however many players there are. --------
  • Set herosLeft = (herosLeft - 1)
  • -------- This player group would contain all of the players who are playing. --------
  • Player Group - Remove (Owner of (Triggering unit)) from remainingPlayers
  • -------- This activates the trigger that checks to see if someone wins yet. --------
  • Trigger - Run Check For Winner <gen> (checking conditions)

And then the "Check For Winner" trigger would be this:

• Events
• Conditions
  • herosLeft Equal to 1
• Actions
  • -------- This takes the player who hasn't lost yet and makes them win. --------
  • Player Group - Pick every player in remainingPlayers and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Game - Victory (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show scores)

Should work... waiting for your reply Kabel

Thanks for your trigger! I am trying it out now.

• -------- This variable would initially be set to however many players there are. --------
• Set herosLeft = (herosLeft - 1)

In my game there can be 2 - 4 players, if I set the variable to 4 and then there are only 2 players playing, will that cause any problems?

Since the "Check for winner" trigger checks for "herosLeft" to be 1, that will be no problem.

Since the "Check for winner" trigger checks for "herosLeft" to be 1, that will be no problem.

Actually that will be the big problem

Because if 2 players are playing and the variable is set to 4 it will not run when one of them dies ALTHOUGh the other one just won

You need to set it too the number of playing players.

Try:

For Integer a 1-4
if(player(convert player number(Integer A)) is Playing equals to true)
Then: Set HerosLeft = HerosLeft + 1

Thanks for your reply!

How would the final trigger look like?

Add this to your Map Initialization:

For Integer a 1-12
If
Player(Integer A) is playing
Then
Set (Variable) herosLeft = herosLeft + 1

If you didnt understand i will make the

Thanks for your answear!

I have got many triggers and variations from you that I need to puzzle together,
how would the complete trigger look?

Kabel:

• HeroDies
• Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
• Actions
  • -------- You can replace this with any other form of defeat. --------
  • Game - Defeat (Owner of (Triggering unit)) with the message: Whatever
  • -------- This variable would initially be set to however many players there are. --------
  • Set herosLeft = (herosLeft - 1)
  • -------- This player group would contain all of the players who are playing. --------
  • Player Group - Remove (Owner of (Triggering unit)) from remainingPlayers
  • -------- This activates the trigger that checks to see if someone wins yet. --------
  • Trigger - Run Check For Winner <gen> (checking conditions)

• Events

  • herosLeft Equal to 1

  • Player Group - Pick every player in remainingPlayers and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Game - Victory (Picked player) (Show dialogs, Show scores)

Use that, but remove the "Run Trigger..." just add an If - Then - Else and put the Conditions and Actions from "Check For Winner" to "HeroDies". If you understand..

And this:

Add this to your Map Initialization:

For Integer a 1-12
If
Player(Integer A) is playing
Then
Set (Variable) herosLeft = herosLeft + 1

If you didnt understand i will make the
