[Trigger] Need help wit timed life triggers

[NoobMapmaker]

What im trying to do is trigger the map so that if a player's unit dont come within 900 range of any of the computer control units, then give that comp unit a timed life of 30 sec. Can any1 help?

 

[sheepstein]

Wtf!!!???

Can you try to explain better?

 

[Dr Super Good]

You make little sense. Please explain more clearly.

I think he's trying to say that if a unit goes outside the range of a player's units then you add a 30 second expiration timer to it. So you have to stay close to a player's units.

nah, i think he means u have to stay close a computer's units (The trigger function is "Controller" and he says "computer control")

 

[Pyritie]

That's what I meant.

 

[NoobMapmaker]

well basically i dont want the map to be crawling wit computer controlled units, hostile creeps basically, so if a human controlled unit don't come within a certain range of them they get a timed life. So there should only be creeps where the human controlled units are at.

 

[Pyritie]

So the player's units have to be within the range of a unit owned by Neutral Hostile at all times?

anyway.. here they are:

• Add to Group Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Neutral Hostile)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to OutOfRange

• Add to Group
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to OutOfRange

• Remove From Group
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from OutOfRange

• Add Units Init
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.15 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Neutral Hostile) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Add to Group <gen> the event (Unit - A unit leaves (Region centered at (Position of (Picked unit)) with size (900.00, 900.00)))
        • Trigger - Add to Remove From Group <gen> the event (Unit - A unit enters (Region centered at (Position of (Picked unit)) with size (900.00, 900.00)))

• Add Units Entering Map
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Add to Group <gen> the event (Unit - A unit leaves (Region centered at (Position of (Triggering unit)) with size (900.00, 900.00)))
    • Trigger - Add to Remove From Group <gen> the event (Unit - A unit enters (Region centered at (Position of (Triggering unit)) with size (900.00, 900.00)))

This one is for instant kill after 30 sec:

• Kill
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is in OutOfRange) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Percentage life of (Picked unit)) - 100.00)%

And this one's for slow kill. the unit dies in 30 sec (choose one of them >.<):

• Kill Copy
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is in OutOfRange) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Percentage life of (Picked unit)) - 3.34)%

Variables used: Unit Group (OutOfRange)

Hope u don't mind the number of triggers

[EDIT]: And.. btw, i haven't tested them, so there might be something wrong.
[EDIT2]: i changed some wrong things

 

[NoobMapmaker]

i didnt notice there's a trigger that add an event to another trigger, thanks for pointing that out.. i'll give it a try. Thanks again

 

[humpadumpa]

w8.. it didn't work. i'll edit this post and change the failing trigger
[EDIT]: Replace the Kill triggers with these:

• Kill
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in OutOfRange and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Percentage life of (Picked unit)) - 100.00)%

• Kill Copy
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in OutOfRange and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Percentage life of (Picked unit)) - 3.34)%

And, the add to trigger action.. you find it in Action\Trigger\Add New Event
Or did u find it? whatever..
