Mixing Units (into a better one)

[CRAZY-PENGUIN]

I want to know ,how to make lot of units of the same type enter in a specific region and becomes another unit stronger

example : 3 militia enters in a region and becomes 1 footman

Reminds me of good ole' commando wars

Anyhoo, here's how I would do it basically:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Your Region) <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Militia
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to MilitiaUnitGroup
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of units in MilitiaUnitGroup) Equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in MilitiaUnitGroup and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
            • Unit Group - Remove all units of MilitiaUnitGroup from MilitiaUnitGroup
            • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of Region 000 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

That should work in the majority of cases. Might get buggered if you have a ridiculous amount of militia pouring into the region at once but it would take me a while to figure out a more effective and reliable way of doing it.

MilitiaUnitGroup is just a simple Unit Group variable.

And don't do the 'do nothing'

Hmm nice post, thanks ill try it later if it works i change to solved and i reply! cya

Well i tested and didnt work. =/
Look

Check it and reply,THANKS !

is my mixunitgroup correct ? it is unit group...maybe the problem is the initial value !

 

[PurplePoot]

You shouldn't store them in a permanent group.

Just enum when a unit enters the area.

example : 3 militia enters in a region and becomes 1 footman

global variable : integer militia_count (default value : 0)

• Militia enter a region
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters a region <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Militia
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local location udg_tmploc
    • Set militia_count = (militia_count + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • militia_count Equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit group - Pick every unit in (Units in a region <gen>) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Militia
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
        • Set tmploc = (Center of a region <gen>)
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at tmploc facing 0.00 degrees
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tmploc)
        • Set militia_count = 0

(i've removed the else to make it easier to read)

• Militia leaves a region
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves a region <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Militia
  • Actions
    • Set militia_count = (militia_count - 1)

 

[turaak]

why did u set tmploc local?

 

[YoshiRyu]

why i shouldn't ?

 

[turaak]

why should u?
it won't interfere because there are no waits so it all fires at once...
i think...^^

 

[YoshiRyu]

why should u?

to avoid storing a point which is use 0.01s in the memory all along the game execution...
this variable is only use inside the trigger, that's somthing you can call "local use"...
so i use a local variable for a local use, logic, isn't it ? ^^

 

[turaak]

my bad,didn't know that "storing a point which is use 0.01s in the memory all along the game execution"^^

 

[YoshiRyu]

my bad too, to be precise, that a "point's pointer" which is stored
(it's a little smaller than an point ^^)

but anyway, that's something very small, it's just a use of mine

EDIT : not sure of my english
by "a use of mine" i want to mean "something i'm used to do"

 

[turaak]

lol, i'll use locals more often now, tnx

 

[Eleandor]

I'm sorry Yosh, but I have to agree that there's no *point* in using a local point variable here.

 

[YoshiRyu]

<stop the flood !>
using local or global here is EXACTLY the same (except for some insignificant details)
i prefer using local, that's a choice, that's only a choice, that's nothing more than a choice, and that's my choice and just mine, no need to argue about that during hours, thanks

 

[CRAZY-PENGUIN]

Hmm thanks all,
