[Trigger] Need help with some things...

[snebulan]

i need help with 4 things (im making a escape)
1. Slide Trigger?
2. -Wild command
3. -red/blue/green/black command
4. is there a easier way to make the creature's patrol instead of 2 triggers??

 

[Just_Spectating]

1.
search it

2.
what?

3.
-.- thats great..

4.
use the patrol order and not move?

 

[wd40bomber7]

2? Whats this?
3? Whats this?
4. Not without a jass function. Unless maybe AI command? I'm not sure.

Be more specific with 2,3, and I'll try to help you out.

I'm pretty sure a simple patrol command only makes them move to the target and attack anything on the way.

 

[snebulan]

the 2:
how to make the guy go random color (if u get what i mean)
the 3:
-red and the guy becomes red etc...

 

[Just_Spectating]

animation change color hue, make the wild trigger have all the values to random number between 0-100 and for the other colors you will have to know like if you want orange how much red and how much yellow to mix and stuff (i think it would be 75 red 50 yellow 0 blue)

 

[snebulan]

can u show me the "trigger pic" with

• haha

 

[wd40bomber7]

@Just_Spectating why on earth would he do that?
@snebulan
Try this

• Player - Change color of Player 1 (Red) to Teal, Changing color of existing units

 

[snebulan]

thx and i also wonder the trigger that kills the escape when touching enemy

 

[GhostWolf]

Just because I made a color trigger ill give you but hey... try something and then ask don't think we have all day and night free

• Color System
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing Set as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing Set as A substring
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing Set as A substring
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing Set as A substring
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing Set as A substring
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing Set as A substring
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 3)) Equal to Set
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Substring((Entered chat string), 5, 10)) Equal to random
      • Then - Actions
        • Animation - Change Unit[((Player number of (Triggering player)) - 1)]'s vertex coloring to ((Random real number between 0.00 and 100.00)%, (Random real number between 0.00 and 100.00)%, (Random real number between 0.00 and 100.00)%) with 0.00% transparency
      • Else - Actions
        • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Substring((Entered chat string), 5, 6)) Equal to (String((Integer A)))
              • Then - Actions
                • Animation - Change Unit[((Player number of (Triggering player)) - 1)]'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency
                • Unit - Change color of Unit[((Player number of (Triggering player)) - 1)] to (Color of (Player((Integer A))))
              • Else - Actions

This will work on this commands: Set random (random...) and Set x (1-12, 1=red , 2=blue etc.) change whatever you want to make it work for your map.



Second Question:

• Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Specific Unit ON MAP

• Trigger - Add to (This trigger) the event (Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Your Unit

The second one can use variables.


And a comment for wd40bomber7, he would need to use vertex colors because by "wild" he means a random color, not a player color but fully random.

 

[snebulan]

cant u do the killing like

• Touch and Die
• [events]Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Specific Unit ON MAP[/events]
• [conditions](Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Player 12 (Brown)[/conditions]
• [conditions]](Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Player 11 (Dark Green)[/conditions]
• [actions]Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)[/actions]

 

[GhostWolf]

Yes you can and please post INSIDE the trigger tags, not only the name of trigger x.x

 

[snebulan]

oh i didnt know how to do it

 

[Wraithwynd]

oh i didnt know how to do it

Open up your editor and you map, go to the trigger module.

Your window will have your trigger menu that you select the trigger you want to look at/modify. Select the trigger you want to post here.

In the area that you are working with the trigger (the main part of the window) you can either right click individual functions and you will have the option "copy as text" or you can select the whole trigger by right clicking on the name at the top of the middle part where you work on triggers, select copy as text.

Here at the form in reply to thread/message post box there is an icon of a grey cog. Click on that and you will get (in brackets)

(TRIGGER)( /TRIGGER)

I changed out the ] for ) and [ for ( so it will show here.

In between the two middle brackets past your text trigger.

When you preview or post your message all of the trigger commands will have all of their icons and be spaced and indented correctly.

 

[ghostus]

I don't know if you're still searching for a slide function, but this trigger from my escape map might help you.
This trigger is from a single player map, so you will have to put everything in a loop.
This trigger both slides the hero and kills the hero if he goes off the path (So you need no thousands of regions).
Should by leak free.

For the slide function you'll need a boolean variable "Slide".

[GhostWolf]

Just incase you want a sliding with turning around use this (with your own conditions and values of course).

• Find damage

    • Unit - Make (Triggering unit) face (Target point of issued order) over 1.00 seconds

[ghostus]

The trigger looks good.
I just have one question: How do you want to set slide = true? It is difficult to create a region and use "Unit leaves region ..." because a hero could walk the way back and so he leaves the region when he still is on the normal path.
This is the main reason why I used in my trigger the "Terraintype = ..." conditions.
And, as I said, you'll need thousands of regions with "Unit enters region ...", to kill the hero when he walks off the path.

And I noticed one thing:
As far as I remember, you had 11 player slots.
An example: Slots 1 to 7 are full, 8 is empty and 9 to 11 are full.
So you get 10 players. You set the array for players 1 to 10. Now you have a problem. You forgot player 11 and used player 8, which is not used.
I don't know, how you are setting the array, but this problem could occur if every player (unused or not) has a slot.

 

[snebulan]

lol i have one whole trigger that kills units when entering regions and at the sides of the slide part they'll die (if not on the sliding part that is...)

and the players are
1-8 = players
11-12 = computers (god/death)

 

[ghostus]

You're right, you can put everything in one trigger with multiple events, but you have to create thousands of regions. Like I said, it is better to check it in one trigger and you won't need any regions. This saved me very much time when creating my map. But that's your decision, your time and your problem.

Anyway, good to know that there will be another escape map hosted on battle.net soon.

 

[GhostWolf]

I totaly agree with ghostus, no point in using like 400 regions.

 

[snebulan]

okey the thing i need to learn is "variables" (omg i hate them sooo much)

cuz i have created a variable called "die1", "die2" and "die3" as "terrain type" variables and now my question is what more i need to do (the variable says)

Variable Name: Die1
Variable Type: Terrain Type
[v]Array Size: [1]
Initial Value: Dungeon - Brick

(is this correct???)

 

[ghostus]

Yes, that's correct. You can now check the terrain type with "If Terraintype at Position of Unit X gleich var".

One more thing to improve: Make a array (die[1], die[2], die[3]), so you only need one variable and not three.
