Hero Limits

Not to butt in on this post, but i too have a question concerning maps.
I'm not sure if this is a relatively easy problem to fix, or not, but I'm making a map that requires hero units to exceed level 10. How do I do that?
P.S. I am using WE Unlimited, if that helps any.

BTW Shizzle, That Sidebar with the ModelViewer, Folder Directory, and should have minimap has dividers that slide. See if you didnt accidently slide one of the 2 dividers all the way up, hiding the minimap.

 

[qwerty]

LastRefuge : go under advanced ; gameplay constants. scroll down until you reach the heroes section and search for hero maximum level.

 

[FerShizzle]

Thank you so much, Thelastman! It worked! W00!

I need help with my trigger. its not workinng


Events-
Unit – a unit sells an item (form shop)


Conditions-
(item-type of (sold items)) equal to “Learn Bloodlust”


Actions-
Item – Remove (sold items)
If (all conditions are ture) then do (then actions) else do (else actions)

If – conditions
-*HeroType* [(player number of (owner of (buying units))] equal to melee

Then- actions
Set *BasicAbilityPicked*[(Player number of (triggering player))] =
*BasicAbilityPicked*[Player number of (owner of (buying unit))] +1)
Wait .10 seconds
Unit – add Bloodlust (neutral Hostile 1) to buying unit


Else – actions
Game – Display to (player group ((owner of (buying unit)))) for 10.00 seconds the Text: Ranged and Spell casters may not learn this skill
Player – add 1 to (owner of (buying unit)) current lumber


BasicAbilityPicked is a variable - Boolean Array (1) False (Default)
HeroType is a variable – String Array (1)



The problem is even if my hero is melee it still says that it is not and will not let me buy the skill

 

[Mesiash]

ok so here are MY problems

1st: (noobish one) how to set money bounties for non-neutral units, like footmans, heroes, buildings ??

2nd: (more advanced) how to make an fireball effect on a hero (without advanced editing)

3rd: is there any way to change the entangling roots color from green to yellow / white ?

4th: how to make revival time 5x Hero LvL and automatic ?? All i could find was 'instantly revival' and when i thought about making 10 (no. of players) variables, each rise by 5 when hero owned by player gains lvl and then run trigger when his hero die, and elapsed time is 'variable' I cant find number accounting to a variable ;(

5th: how to make posession spell last only 30 secs ??

 

[VampireKB]

1 heavy question!

How to make a cup of coffee in a real by triggers



P.S. i think that it's a stupid to make a theme like this..

All who have their problems will at first make there own topic and willn't even see F.A.Q. or tutorials or other helping stuff.

1. I think it's under Player - Set Bounty On or something...

3. Ask a modeller.

I would answer the fourth but I don't have WE on this computer and I'm lazy.

How do you use a imported file, say like a picture of a cat, and make it the loading screen?ive tried before but it never worked. :?

 

[Rui]

How do you use a imported file, say like a picture of a cat, and make it the loading screen?ive tried before but it never worked. :?

Obsiously open Loading Screen and set it to imported "your picture". Make sure the size isn't too big and the file is .JPG (or something like that).

All who have their problems will at first make there own topic and willn't even see F.A.Q. or tutorials or other helping stuff.

I thought the same. This topic can easly become a completly spam topic.

And btw writing the topic in Caps won't lure more people. It's ilegal.

[FerShizzle]

How would one go about making a map like Water War- Submerged?

When you can dive underwater, and fight there, and above water.

P.S. why hasnt the creater of this thread ever posted?

 

[Turbosrfun]

Anyone know how to make buildings spawn

i am making a hero builder type map but i cant get the buildings to spawn units..... HELP!!!!!!! :roll:

 

[Rui]

Re: Anyone know how to make buildings spawn

i am making a hero builder type map but i cant get the buildings to spawn units..... HELP!!!!!!! :roll:

Scroll down with your mouse until you see Units Trained. Add Unit and select the unit you want it to spawn. Make sure it's from the correct player. What's so hard?

P.S. why hasnt the creater of this thread ever posted?

Probably he thinks that it's us who have to take care of his job....

[TheFatManSays]

SRY GUYS SRY SRY SRY, Ive been making a Loap map, and I am trying to join the Loap Clan. Ok, Anyways im back lol i can help you witht he bounty.

To set Bounty- choose the unit and go to bounty, there are three bounty tings, Bounty Dice, Sides of Dice and Base, Dice are used the same as the Attack dice, for random attack damage.

Set your bounty to wat u want and go to triggers, select...Player, then do turn on/off player flag and turn on bounty for the selected player.

Ok theres one, phew lol ok next!

[shadow1500]

I have finished first mission of my campaign(all is done),and i made second mission(without triggerts and units).Then i connected those maps into campaign and wrote a hero transporting triggert but it doesnt work with mine own heroes(but works with standart)

so u didnt copy the custom heroes to the second map and expect them to magically create themselves from nowhere.

 

[OrderofPhoenix]

What is this so-called "LoaP clan" you speak of?

Don't call your map by LoaP, you un-original prick. You lack so much intelligence to neglect grammar, which makes me seriously doubt your mapping intelligence.

 

[Turbosrfun]

Still cant spawn............. : (

So far i have tried to do what the reply to my first posting said (sorry i cant remember who replyed and i would go back and check but my internet is just to slow!!) the prob. is i cant figure out were the unit commands that i was told to look for are at noob prob. im sure but its giving me a hard time!! thanx for helping

 

[Keiga]

How do I make the units spawn every few seconds and then go down the lane and attack everything on the way like in a dota map?

 

[Tr!KzZ]

How do I make the units spawn every few seconds and then go down the lane and attack everything on the way like in a dota map?

that is easy:

event: every 30 seconds of game time (change it to your spawn time)

condition: none

action: Unit - Create 1 *unittype* for *Player* at (Center of (*rect*)) facing default building facing (270) degrees.

then make another trigger and before u make them create rects from where the units should spawn and where should they go to:

event: Unit - A Unit enters *rect*

condition: (Owner of(Entering Unit)) Equal to *Player* (choose the player who u use as the Computer which send the units, u need this condition if u dont want that ur own units walk automaticly to the other point.

action: Unit - Order (Entering Unit) to Attack-Move to (Center of (*rect*))

** = use your custom things here example last action --> center of rect, type in your rect in your map to which the units should go. [/quote]

 

[Keiga]

What is a rect?

 

[Turbosrfun]

cant make my trigger work

can anyone tell me what is wrong with my trigger??

Events
Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game time

Actions
Unit Group - Order (Units in Region 000 <gen>) to Attack-Move To (Center of Region 001 <gen>)
Unit - Create 3 Priest for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Region 000 <gen>) facing 260.00 degrees
Unit - Create 5 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Region 000 <gen>) facing 270.00 degrees

And here is the trigger for player 2

Events
Unit - A unit enters Region 001 <gen>
Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game time

Actions
Unit Group - Order (Units in Region 001 <gen>) to Attack-Move To (Center of Region 000 <gen>)
Unit - Create 3 Troll Witch Doctor for Player 2 (Blue) at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) facing 260.00 degrees
Unit - Create 5 Grunt for Player 2 (Blue) at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) facing 270.00 degrees

every time the game launches it crasher with some kind of memory error!! Thanks!

 

[N00byStance]

What is a rect?

God, anyone thinks here?

Rect is a synonime of Region, in this case region where you want to spawn your units.

 

[Renatuss]

I need help with my trigger also.

In my map, I have a great hall where the king is for the whole game, he is very powerful(lots of damage). But, I want it to be when a player types his name, he goes to that players position. I have tried everything I can think of, and the only thing that has "wokred", is where he goes to the target of that player's camera, but if that player is looking at a river or sumthing like that, the king will go there. Please help me.

 

[salamander]

I NEED some help heres my trigger

Event: unit casts a ability
Condition: ability being cast = to (spell name)
Action: add 4 to (owner of ( target unit of ability being cast) current lumber

does any 1 know why this doesnt work?

 

[N00byStance]

@Renatuss: Instead of (Player camera target) use (Position of unit) <of calling player's hero>

@salamander: Use (Unit casting ability) instead of (Target of ability being cast)

 

[Nex Power Speed]

I´m doing a map, and I have a problem with it.
Is possible to apply cameras and that the camera apply instantly? If not, the camera see much map in the way.

I´m explain well? Srry, but I´m not English

 

[N00byStance]

Yes, use simple apply camera action using 0.00 duration.

 

[Dracula]

hahahaha... people sure does ask ALOT of questions

 

[Nightmare_104]

alright there are a lot of ppl who know how to do map making. if u can do triggers for a maul map like some of the famous duke wintermual work. then u can become 1 of my beta-testers of ANY map i create but just to tell right off the bat this map is no where even near completed. all i need is some1 or myself with some help to get some of the trigger work out of the way the rest of the work that can be done i can handle myself b/c i'm talented with the unit editor just not with the trigger editor. heres a small list that needs to be done with my map, and the name of my mual map is called Nightmual.

Need Help Doing Point Value Triggers in which the point value adds every time when a player summons something or in this case "income". In wintermual u start off getting 25 gold every 30 sec. then when u summoned out a scout with a Point Value of 1 the point value adds to a point value trigger so that u get 26 gold every 30 sec. without give player 11 or 12 income and hopefully it will Bulid up every time u summon.

Need Help With Unit Summoming and the checkpoint Triggers. in Wintermual when u clicked on a unit to bulid it, it spawned in the middle of the map for whomever summoned the unit and then moved from checkpoint to checkpoint.

Need Help with 1 of the point value trigger so in this case the lives each force has. in wintermual whenever a unit got passed blues or greens defence they lost a point or life in this case. what i also need done is a leaderborad and a text trigger one of those advanced text triggers shall we say. i need the leaderborad to show who has the most income for each team, how many lives each force, and also for each force who has the most income for that force instend of it showing up every 30 seconds for example its a 5v5 game and player 3 has the most income for force 1 then player 5 then 2 and 1 then 4 with the lowest income of force kinda like this and we will use force 1 as an example

------------------------
Highest Force Income |
Force 2 |
|
Lives Remaining |
Force 1-18 |
Force 2-16 |
|
Most Income For Force 1|
Player 3-87 |
Player 5-64 |
Player 2-55 |
Player 1-38 |
Player 4-28 |
------------------------

but i also need to be for each force but only the "Most income for force #".

and for the text trigger i need it to say something like this so we will use a unit from Wintermual for an example "Dragon Turtle Has Escaped 24 Lives Left" and what i ment by advanced was i need it for each unit summoned that hits the endpoint. but i'm not certian of that so it can be "(unit name)" Has Escaped 24 lives" or something like it

and if u want to do the trigger work on my map. u WILL get Credit for helping me with is map and also become a beta-tester for my map but in only 2 ways A:Giving me The Trigger Work as noted By the list for me to do it or B:Giving me ur via E-Mail And Allowing Me to Send U The Map In Either in a Zip or RAR File. but theres only 1 flaw to this. i cant send Through ICQ b/c it wont allow me to. only through E-mail i send Zip files through. b/c I use AOL and AOL allows me to send attached things via E-mail. but the ONLY way to get credit is my giving me ur Login name and the region u play in. and also the only way to become a beta-tester for my maps (if u want to) u have to play in Azeroth (U.S. east)

 

[Nex Power Speed]

Ummm, I had another problem. I was doing some cinema secuences, and, when I put the sound, th units don´t reproduces the sound. ¿Am I explain well? In the transmition of unit, there is a zone where you can put a sound, but when I put, the sound don´t work. Why?

 

[N00byStance]

In sound editor, open this sound's property dialog and uncheck "3D sound".

PS Your avatar is confusing =.+

 

[Nex Power Speed]

Why? What happen with my avatar?
Ah, and the camera works perfect, as I want

PS: What I need to do to ``hide´´ the terrain. I´m explain, I´m making a map, and in one scene, there is a planet, but, the terrain isn´t good for the scene. How I can do for the camera see the sky, x example?

 

[Nex Power Speed]

I had a fail. I want to delete this post.


Edit at 4th August[/code]

 

[salamander]

i have a very annoying proplem, can some 1 help me?

Event:
unit finishes casting a spell

Condition:
If spell being cast equal to (spell name)

Action:
create special effect above target unit of ability being cast

Pause target unit of ability being cast

wait 4 seconds

unpause target unit of ability being cast

Destroy last created special effect

the weird thing is, the special effect happens, unit gets paused, the special effect dies, unit doesnt unpause

 

[N00byStance]

Try this:

Event:
Unit - Unit finishes casting a spell

Condition:
If (Spell being cast) Equal To <your spell>

Actions:
Set TempUnit = (Target unit of ability being cast)
Special Effect - Create special effect overhead of TempUnit
Unit - Pause TempUnit
Wait 4.00 seconds
Unit - Unpause TempUnit
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
Set TempUnit = No unit

You have to import the models of that weapons. Then, in Actions, search for Special Effect.

Special Effect- Add a special effect (which is the model of the weapon you imported) in (righthand, lefthand, whatever).

Hope it helps.
