Math - Something for every 5th time?

[Jamin8r]

Is there a mathematical way I can set a trigger to activate so that every 5th time a unit checks into a building/region, something will happen, like extra gold? I'm tired of typing out the "if condition" for every 5th time

you could use the modulus function: x - (x / y) * y where y is 5 and x your counting int and when the result is equal to 0 then you give extra gold.

Under Category Math for Integer/Real there is that allready implemented with the Function: mod.

• (visits mod 5) Equal 0

You'll have to count the Visits or you use the Trigger execution count.

• ((Execution count of (This trigger)) mod 5) Equal 0

Modulus gives you the rest of simple division.
example
5/2 =2 R 1 -> Mod of 5 & 2 = 1

OMG, thank you I'm not as good at math as I used to be. This works perfectly!
