[Solved] Need help with trigger that keeps track of player value

[Stephen Bull]

I'm trying to make a map that displays the total value of each player, this tally's up all the units, buildings, and hero's the player owns along with their gold. Here's my trigger:
Player1Red
Events
Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
Conditions
(Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing
Actions
Player Group - Pick every player in Player Group - Player 1 (Red) and do (Set Player1RedHuman = (((Number of living Peasant units owned by (Picked player)) x 75) + (((Number of living Footman units owned by (Picked player)) x 135) + (((Number of living Knight units owned by (Picked player)) x 245) + (((Number of living Rifleman un
Player Group - Pick every player in Player Group - Player 1 (Red) and do (Set Player1RedOrc = (((Number of living Peon units owned by (Picked player)) x 75) + (((Number of living Grunt units owned by (Picked player)) x 200) + (((Number of living Raider units owned by (Picked player)) x 180) + (((Number of living Tauren units owned
Player Group - Pick every player in Player Group - Player 1 (Red) and do (Set Player1RedUndead = (((Number of living Acolyte units owned by (Picked player)) x 75) + (((Number of living Shade units owned by (Picked player)) x 75) + (((Number of living Ghoul units owned by (Picked player)) x 120) + (((Number of living Abomination un
Player Group - Pick every player in Player Group - Player 1 (Red) and do (Set Player1RedNightElf = (((Number of living Wisp units owned by (Picked player)) x 60) + (((Number of living Archer units owned by (Picked player)) x 130) + (((Number of living Huntress units owned by (Picked player)) x 195) + (((Number of living Dryad unit
Set Player1RedTotal = ((Player1RedHeros + Player1RedHuman) + ((Player1RedNightElf + Player1RedOrc) + (Player1RedUndead + (Player 1 (Red) Current gold))))
Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row Multiboard[(Player number of Player 1 (Red))] to (String(Player1RedTotal))


The problem is this creates massive memory leaks and lags after the first 2 minutes of gameplay. I don't know how to fix it without making it hella long with a million variables. Is there an easier way to do what I'm doing?

It would be great if you can post them in trigger tags: How To Post Your Trigger

Oh, my bad
So I ended up taking a different route of keeping track of value. I gave each unit a point value in the object editor equal to their bounty and gold cost. Then made this simple trigger; Game result is the players value.

• KillsValue
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player - Set (Owner of (Killing unit)) Game result to (((Owner of (Killing unit)) Game result) + (Point-value of (Dying unit)))
    • Player - Set (Owner of (Dying unit)) Game result to (((Owner of (Dying unit)) Game result) - (Point-value of (Dying unit)))

Doing this with heros was a little more complicated but it works;

• HeroDies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Player - Set (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Game result to (((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Game result) - (130 + (((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) x 40) + ((((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) - 1) / 2) x 5))))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Killing unit)) Not equal to (Owner of (Dying unit))
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Add (130 + (((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) x 40) + ((((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) - 1) / 2) x 5))) to (Owner of (Killing unit)) Current gold
        • Player - Add (130 + (((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) x 40) + ((((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) - 1) / 2) x 5))) to (Owner of (Killing unit)) Game result
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Triggering unit)) using UI\Feedback\GoldCredit\GoldCredit.mdl
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (+ + (String((130 + (((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) x 40) + ((((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) - 1) / 2) x 5)))))) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) with Z offset 10.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        • Floating Text - Hide (Last created floating text) for (All players)
        • Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for (All players controlled by a ((Owner of (Killing unit)) controller) player)
        • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 3.00 seconds
        • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
        • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
        • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
        • Wait 2.00 seconds
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
      • Else - Actions

The one thing I still can't figure out is I have many creeps and summons that give random bounty when killed, how can I detect what bounty is given and add that to the players value? I know I can turn off bounty and make a trigger that mimics bounty given but it's a pain to do this with 80+ units.

Might be possible by measuring gold change amounts.

 

[Stephen Bull]

Yeah I can't figure it out, I ended up just giving every creep/summon a point value of X and changed only their base bounty to X.
I was thinking maybe if I redid all my triggers again and added the players gold along with other variables to the total value.
Then I could add a bunch of other triggers that would maintain the value as I spent gold, as the units are also counted toward value. But yeah to much work to completely redo everything and try to find something else that works. I'm lazy.

 

[Kaijyuu]

Many maps seem to fully trigger bounty instead of using the game's normal bounty system. Allows you to keep track of it much easier while still being able to give it random ranges.

 

[Stephen Bull]

Alright I'm back with another question onto this, how to I keep track of traded gold and add/subtract it to player value.
I know I can do traded gold through chat strings, but is there a way to get an even that detects the in game trading mechanic?

 

[Kaijyuu]

There's no event for it, but you can get the total gold/lumber traded/received through Player - Player Score. It's an integer.

• Set TempInt = (Player 1 (Red) Gold Given To Allies)

 

[Stephen Bull]

Thank you, I ended up using this trigger;

• Trade Gold Give P1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (Player 1 (Red) Gold Given To Allies) Greater than xREDGOLDGIVEN[1]
  • Actions
    • Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Game result to ((Player 1 (Red) Game result) - ((Player 1 (Red) Gold Given To Allies) - xREDGOLDGIVEN[1]))
    • Set xREDGOLDGIVEN[1] = (Player 1 (Red) Gold Given To Allies)

 

[Stephen Bull]

I'm back, I procrastinate a lot.
How do I create a trigger that can make a player lose value when he researches something? Value lost is equal to the cost of the research.
I'm at:
Event:
A unit begins (research)

Then Idk

How do I create a trigger that increases/decreases a players value when he sells/buys an item; with this one I know how to create a trigger based on just one item, but then I have to make like 80 triggers for each item, is there a way to encompass all items with one trigger?

 

[Dr Super Good]

You will need to enter all the appropriate values into some sort of table or data management system so from the type you can get the cost. Some AI natives may also be able to return the cost, but I am not sure if this is just limited to units.

 

[Stephen Bull]

I'll try that with items, thank you.
What about researching things, how would I change a players value based on what he researches?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Like with items. When they finish a research change their value based on the research which was finished.

 

[Stephen Bull]

Ok I'm dumb didn't realize "tech-type" in the conditions was just the different researches you can do, I figured it out now.
Thank you
