Make Make Hero Revive fast If it has Unique item

[sunshinex3]

we have a fox and a hen across the river type of problem

• ScourgeLordArmorStart
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Becomes revivable
  • Conditions
    • ((Revivable Hero) has an item of type Scourge Lord Armor) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Hero - Make (Owner of (Revivable Hero)) Heroes' revive time rate to be 0.10% of normal rate

this is how it start but there are multiple heroes.... i can change back to 100% easy but how to account for heroes who don't have the item?

• ScourgeLordArmorFinish
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes reviving
  • Conditions
    • ((Reviving Hero) has an item of type Scourge Lord Armor) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Hero - Make (Owner of (Reviving Hero)) Heroes' revive time rate to be 100.00% of normal rate

if i have two heroes that are relivable but only 1 has the item, i don't know how to account for this situation because i want the one with the item to come back faster then those heroes that don't

 

[Tristronic]

I'm away from my computer or I would check for myself, but maybe it would be better to (if possible) change the progress of the reviving/unit production once the unit has started reviving?

Check if they have the item on death, then if player begins reviving/training hero, set progress to "x".

Again, I'm not sure if those functions all exist, but I will look at it later today if no one answers this first.

 

[sunshinex3]

thats a action i can do?

set progress?

also, if i change to "started" it doesn't work it effects heroes reviving right after but not during, kinda weird

 

[sunshinex3]

yeah tested it just now didn't effect hero that is currently reviving, but their not working.

 

[BaiyuGalan]

Interesting Armor. Have you tried Events: A unit death?

 

[sunshinex3]

when a hero becomes revivable it is dead

i can make them respawn faster that does work, but i just need help with logic, because there are other heroes that the player might have and that might also be dead(revivable) and if they player chooses to respawn them first it would be like they have the unique armor when they don't. How do i get this trigger to effect the one hero that has the armor.

 

[Pyrogasm]

You could transfer control of the hero to some cpu player with increased revive speed, then return it to the player after revival.

There may also be a unit data field (probably integer if I had to guess) that affects hero revival time, which you could try to manually change with the new field natives before the unit begins reviving.

This works:

• Revive Starts
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • ((Target unit of issued order) is A Hero) Equal to True
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Altar of Kings
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Altar of Storms
        • // Add more altars as needed or find a better way to identify them //
    • (Issued order) Not equal to (Order(smart))
    • (Issued order) Not equal to (Order(setrally))
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Target unit of issued order) has an item of type YOUR_ITEM_TYPE) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Make (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Heroes' revive time rate to be 10.00% of normal rate
      • Else - Actions
        • Hero - Make (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Heroes' revive time rate to be 100.00% of normal rate

Note that this assumes that a given Player can only have one Altar reviving a hero at a time. No idea if Warcraft 3 even supports multiple Altar revives at once... Maybe hardcode this limitation in your map to avoid the issue?

 

[sunshinex3]

Yes uncle!, thank you uncle

 

[sunshinex3]

no this should work, when a hero is reviving its reserved in a way, it can't be revived in any other way until that alter cancels (this is why revive her instantly didnt work)

I mean what happens when two Altars revive two different Heroes owned by the same Player at the same time. The revive rate is Player based, not Hero based, so adjusting it for one Hero would adjust it for all of their Heroes.

That being said, I THINK Warcraft 3's revive system caches the revive time using the current rate the moment the revive process "begins". So adjusting the rate while a hero is already in the process of reviving would have no effect. Long story short, it may be completely safe or such a rare issue that it's not worth thinking about as it will likely never happen.

No problem, but that's a lot of Altars!

If you want to optimize it, it'd be better to just check for something like this:

• (Level of SOME_HIDDEN_ABILITY for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1

So you would add a hidden ability to all of your Altars in the Object Editor. I use Storm Hammers as my go to ability since it doesn't cause any issues. This acts like a pseudo-classification to find specific types of units. Much better than asking 30 different questions.


Also, you can delete this Condition:

• And - All (Conditions) are true

It doesn't do anything here. Conditions have to all be true by default. You should rarely if not ever need to use this.

 

[sunshinex3]

i see what you mean about the and condition
about storm hammers ability does that show in ui?

 

[Uncle]

i see what you mean about the and condition

Yes, it does show in the UI by default, but you can hide any ability by setting it's Art - Button Position - X, Y to 0, -11.

Hold shift when opening the field to enter negative values.

yes uncle
