[General] Maze type teleport tiles

[Elemental91]

Been working on this map for a while now and I've come across a slight problem.

I need the player to get from 1 end of this place to the other and if the unit were to try to walk through the black spaces or touch them or w/e to get teleported back to the start.

Now I've tried making a shitload of regions covering the black areas, but this doesn't really work for the diagonal spaces.

Anyone know how to do this?

I'm assuming that's the tile from the outland tileset? You can try this

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set unit_group = (Units in (Playable map area))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in unit_group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set loc = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Terrain type at loc) Equal to Outland - Abyss
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_log)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_unit_group)

You may want to set loc with an offset incase it's to sensitive.

The trigger above will work, but I recommend using a group you never destroy. Add/remove units to/from it yourself.

You mean instead of "Set unit_group = units in region" something along the lines of "When unit enters region, add unit to unit group" and then don't destroy the group, or.. ?


Also, I just noticed, you can't walk over Abyss terrain type, so you won't get teleported >.<
Now I could probably change this somewhere, but I kinda want to do it by trigger, since I'm also using the Abyss tile elsewhere in the map and there you're not supposed to be able to walk over it =/

Any clue how I could change that in a single region by trigger ?

 

[IcemanBo]

No, just add all units you want to check into one UnitGroup at start of game.

Then you always can refer to this group without re-creat it and destroy it each time.

You can create a second point variable (loc2) with very small offset of loc [facing (facing of hero] and then check if terrain at loc2 = 'abyss'.

 

[Elemental91]

Still need some help making Abyss tiles walkable in a certain region

 

[Maker]

You can add point is in region condition.

 

[IcemanBo]

If you make units flying or hovering they should be able to go over abyss.

 

[Elemental91]

If you make units flying or hovering they should be able to go over abyss.

Any way to do this trigger-wise?
All I could think of was maybe with "Unit - Set custom value" but I really don't know how that command works x.x

If not I could probably make a complicated way around it, but the point is, the hovering should only be in effect in that region, not anywhere else

 

[IcemanBo]

Hmm, maybe create invisible, walkable templates at your specific region, where they should be able to walk over.

 

[Elemental91]

How would I go about doing this? D:

by using

• Environment - Set terrain pathing at (Center of (Playable map area)) of type Walkability to On

?

 

[Elemental91]

I found a way around it, with help of IcemanBo.

Except, the "tele tile" trigger is not working for some reason.
It is initially off and it gets turned on whenever a hero unit enters the region (the region being the piece of map showed in the first post), but before that happens the hero is replaced by a copy of the hero with movement type "flying" so it can go over the abyss tiles.

Unfortunately the hero does not get teleported when touching abyss...

Here's the involved triggers;

When you finish a conversation with a guy at the end of the "maze" the abyss tele tiles trigger gets turned off

 

[IcemanBo]

You do

• Set TEMPPoint = (Position of HEROPlayerHero[TEMPInteger])

but you dont do

• Set HEROPlayerHero[TEMPInteger] = Triggering Unit

before... so finaly you dont remove unit, and don't create new one. Or do you set this variable maybe in an other trigger?

And better you would use only one UnitGroup and dont destroy them each time:
Just add your heroes to this group via action

• Unit Group - Add YourUnit to YourUnitGroup

Then you can always 'Pick all units in YourUnitGroup' without creating new one and destroying it afterwards.

Edit:
Also why do you turn your first trigger off after first running? So others wont be able to use this? :s
If a player enters region first time you can set 'Boolean[PlayerNumber] = true' --> and then add in this trigger as condition 'Boolean[PlayerNumber] = false'

HEROPlayerHero[] is set at map init.

Updated to add the entering unit when the hero enters the region and the group wont be destroyed anymore.

Also, I turn that trigger off because it kept crashing on me cause I had an infinite loop of new hero creating going on lol. Besides, when you talk to the necesary quest guy and get sent in there, the trigger gets turned on again.

I was thinking, maybe flying units don't trigger the terrain type thing, cause they're flying? :/

 

[IcemanBo]

It's not infinite if you restrict it to 1-run per player (with boolean check).

If you mean that you can't pick flying units, then it's wrong. They have same terrain as a walking unit would have.

You can upload it on pastebin, so we can check the problem.

 

[Elemental91]

Problem solved, created a small region on a piece of abyss tile, saved that tileregion into a terrain variable and instead of checking if the unit is on abyss or not, it now checks if its on that terrain variable or not.
