Maze problem!

[ARN3IN]

Hi! I want to make a trigger so that whenever a unit (PLayer 1) leaves a terrain-type or enters a terrain-typ (doesn't mather which) the unit dies instead of makeing a lot of regions or atleast give some good tip.

+1 rep for every useful answer

here is a JASS command that could aid you

set Terrain_Type = GetTerrainTypeBJ(udg_temp_loc)

You would just create a periodic trigger that sets temp_loc to the position of the unit.
And that JASS command would set the integer Terrain_Type to whatever number corresponds to the terrain.
You'd have to test it to see what the exact numbers are \

FYI, to use the JASS command in the GUI do this:

• Custom script: set Terrain_Type = GetTerrainTypeBJ(udg_temp_loc)

 

[ARN3IN]

have no what so ever clue what jass is and how to work with it But thanks anyway, aren't there any "normal" trigger i can use?

Or at least get some help on how to use that "jass" script

# + rep anyways

 

[Baintastic]

lol, what do you think that last part was?

I was telling you how to put it into the GUI.
I wasn't sure how much you knew about the editor, so I was a little vague.

You will need to do this first to see what integers that terrain is:

Create two variables:
Point - temp_loc <- this is just a temporary variable for the position of your unit
Integer - Terrain_Type <- this is a temporary variable for the terrain type

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.2 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set temp_loc = (Position of (<ENTER UNIT HERE>))
    • Custom script: set udg_Terrain_Type = GetTerrainTypeBJ(udg_temp_loc)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_loc)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(Terrain_Type))

Make sure you put the specific unit you are testing with in place of <ENTER UNIT HERE>

Then tell me what your screen prints out for the different terrain types that you are walking on. Make sense?

 

[ARN3IN]

haha, first of all i can tell you that im as "noob" as you can get

But i dind't realy understand:

"Then tell me what your screen prints out for the different terrain types that you are walking on"

Am i suppos'd to find out what integer the terrain type has?

 

[ironman47]

If you follow the instructions above posted by baintastic the game should display the integer (number) of the terrain your test unit is on every 0.2 seconds of game time. Got it?

[Baintastic]

exactly. so choose a unit that you want to control and walk around for this test, that will be your <ENTER UNIT HERE> unit. When you test your map, a number will show up on the screen many times. That number is the number of the terrain type that unit is standing on at the moment. I need to tell me what numbers are showing up when the test unit is...
1. inside the maze and shouldn't die.
2. outside the maze and should die.

Almost. There isn't a GUI command for "Terrain type at", hence the custom script. Also, your trigger would destroy the group you are looping through as soon as one of the units is found to be in bounds.

This is the trigger you will use eventually: (DON'T USE UNTIL YOU'VE COMPLETED MY PREVIOUS POST!!)

Triggers

• Maze Terrain Kill
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set XXXXXGroup = (Units of type (Your Unit)) <-- or whatever your unit group is going to be
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in XXXXXGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set XXXXXPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Custom script: set Terrain_Type = GetTerrainTypeBJ(udg_XXXXPoint)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
            • Terrain_Type Equal to <THIS WILL BE THE TERRAIN NUMBER OF THE OUT-OF-BOUNDS TERRAIN THAT YOU DETERMINED >
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_XXXXXPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_XXXXXGroup)

EDIT: GangSpear, you are correct, there is a GUI command for it.

 

[ARN3IN]

Ive done the trigger but i keep getting a error that disables the trigger :/

The error:

Line 199: Expected a variable name

What do i do wrong? I created the to variables with the same name as you did

temp_loc, point

Terrain_type, integer

 

[Baintastic]

Terrain_type, integer may be spelled differently.
In my example, I spelled it Terrain_Type.
The variable may be case-sensitive.
Try making the second T capital.

 

[ARN3IN]

Still getting the same error :/

it highlights the line : set Terrain_Type = GetTerrainTypeBJ(udg_temp_loc)

 

[Baintastic]

it's going to be difficult to debug this way. Can you just post the map? I'll fix it for you.

Here you go!

 

[Baintastic]

Here, it should do what you want now. lol, you didn't have to publish your map just attach it.

 

[ARN3IN]

Don't know how to attach, i guess it would have taken me bout 1 sec extra but whatever

Great job anyways! + rep

Just one more question, how do i stop my hero from attacking enemy units fi don't want to dissable the attack move :/

 

[ironman47]

One way you could do that is edit the hero in the object editor and set the combat - aquisition range to 1. That should do the trick.

If you want to use a trigger I think this will work:

• Move Order
  • Events
    • Unit - <Your unit here> Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order <Your unit here> to Move To (Target point of issued order)

Since a unit issued a move order won't attack.

 

[Baintastic]

Otherwise, you could just make the mortar teams invulnerable so he doesn't target them automatically. That way he can still auto-attack later against units that he is supposed to attack.

 

[ARN3IN]

Thanks again

AH dude, you weren't suppose to use a prefix. Now you did it.
