Need help with a trigger...

[Ayat92]

I've been trying to work on an RPG map of my own,and I'm having 2 problems:

1)How do I make my initial hero picking using a tavern. I would like to make a hero chooser with a tavern (or similar structure) and have the hero spawn, then walk through a waygate to the first area.

2)How do I respawn the hero after death?

Any help would be appreciated,thanks!

I will create those systems right now, once I've got them down, I'll update this post and attach the demo-map.

Edit: map added. I've commented out what seemed important. I did not want to comment the hashtables because they're rather abstract structures (you'll learn how to use them in time, but it seems a little bit too soon for that).
Note: if the map doesn't save correctly, check if you have the variable "handleID", which should be an integer variable (this variable might not copy correctly).

It's rather basic, but I hope you like it.

I actually have copies of these for my current map. Sorry if it's not as good as ap0calypse's but it works for me Btw this is not a cut paste out of my map, i changed it a bit just cuz it saves space.

    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Sold unit)) of type Wisp) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
    • Player - Set (Owner of (Buying unit)) Current gold to 500

Just in the startup change the heroes to whatever you want. Startup is really for the Random, but oh well.

EDIT: I'm sorry should have clarified that. I use Random for the random hero trigger, and I just made sure the unit bought wasn't random. I don't really know why. I needed to because otherwise I would have to do If/Then/Else for every hero, and having 27 currently, that's a waste.

Okay guys!Thanks for the help.Its my first time diving into RPG-like triggers,really appreciate all of ya.ap0calypse Can't wait for your demo map

Edit:khamarr,I went through your triggers,and may I ask which category is (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Not equal to Random under?

 

[ap0calypse]

I uploaded the map, it's not really highly advanced, but I can add anything you want to it (didn't want to add too much, that could make it too complicated to start out).
There are quite a few "custom scripts" in it, but just ignore those for the time being ^^ Some of them are so the system doesn't bug when a lot of heroes die, others are to reduce lag.

"(Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Not equal to Random" is under Condition -> Unit-type comparison
"Random" is probably a unit he made in the object editor (for when you want to choose a random unit).

I didn't include random units because I... kinda forgot about it :|

Khamarr, you leak locations by the way (edit: and a player group leak, I read "all players" first - which doesn't leak, but it is "all players controlled by a user player", which does leak).

 

[khamarr3524]

Yeah -.- i let some co creators work on it, and they leaked some stuff, I'm running through triggers now fixing the leaks. Thanks for pointing it out, it really helps in the long run.

 

[Ayat92]

Thanks ap0calypse.But...a noob question..where do I get your uploaded map xD

Edit:Oh okay didn't realise it was up there,haha

 

[khamarr3524]

Click on the attachment and find where the save location is, and put it somewhere you'll remember it (like in the maps folder in WarcraftIII) and open it in world editor

 

[Ayat92]

wow ap0calypse,I can't thank you enough.Just read it through for a few minutes and I know this will solve a lot of my problems.Thanks again!
