Need Trigger Help

[Juice_F]

I'm working on an map and I need help with one trigger. It's an hero revive trigger, I want the hero to revive after the level of the hero x 5 seconds.

The trigger right now looks like this:
Event:
Unit - A unit owned by player 1 dies
Conditions:
((Dying unit) is a hero) equal to true
Actions:
Countdown timer - start revivetimer as a one-shot timer that will expire in (Here is where i need help)

The rest is not nesesary to write, I hope you understand what I mean.

 

[Eusira]

You definitely need variables. That's all I can say is use arithmetic: 5 x(Hero Level of (Dying unit))

Amazing! The great Juice_F actually does post somewhere otehr than the icon forum!

 

[Juice_F]

ok thx, and I used to post in the other forums, I just have been busy latley, and have only comed here to do my job as an icon moderator. But I will start posting in the other forums soon.

So, did the technically remedial effect of my knowledge work?

probably not

 

[darco9x2]

why not just add wait 5 seconds, then as another action, revive hero where ever you want it to revive?

 

[Juice_F]

Becouse I want it to take longer to revive it the higher the lvl of the dead hero is.

And hey, I need help again with another thing.
this time it's about choosing hero, it's realy irritating that I can't get this to work myself.
It's an ToB style hero selection.

Event:
Unit - Necromancer 0021 <gen> is selcted
Conditons:
Actions:
Unit - Create 1 Necromancer for ??? what shall I put here? I want the person who selected the unit to get the unit and I can't get it to work.

So how shall I do it?

Events
Unit - Necromancer 0000 <gen> Is selected
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Necromancer for (Triggering player) at (Center of Region 000 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

 

[Juice_F]

I have already tried that and it doesn't work it only gives an hero to neutral passive, does anyone have something else that might work?

 

[ElfWarfare]

and how does it work for me? and yes I have another trigger but I am too tired to write it.

 

[MrMaestro]

Why not just have a unit (such as a wisp) and give it a dummy ability that enables it to cast on a target hero. Have the wisp cast the spell on the hero you want to have, and the create the hero for the owner of the casting unit. I know thats not exactly what you wanted, but it's pretty easy to do .

 

[Eusira]

If there's gonna be one of each hero, then give the unit to the selector, move it to the team's start location, create special effects, and turn off the trigger. Also make sure you check conditions to see if they go on the right team

thats what i'm trying to do, but i don't know how to give the unit to the selector.

 

[Eusira]

Give Necromancer 0000 to triggering player

 

[Juice_F]

for some reason it gives the unit to neutral passive, the unit is neautral passive before u select it.

 

[Panto]

Can you post the trigger in its entirety? The fragments aren't quite enough to piece together the whole thing.

 

[Juice_F]

Ok heres the whole trigger so far, and it doesn't work...



Events
Unit - Necromancer 0021 <gen> Is selected

Condtions

Actions
Unit - Create 1 Necromancer for (Triggering Player) at (center of HeroSelected <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

Unit - Reamove Necromancer 0021 <gen> from the game

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (position of Necromancer 0021 <gen>) using Abilities\Spells\Human\HolyBolt\HolyBoltSpecialArt.mdl

Wait 1.00 seconds

Camera - Pan camera for (Triggering Player) to (center of HeroSelected <gen>) over 0.00 seconds

Visibility - Create an initialy Enabled visibility modifier for (Triggering Player) emitting Black mask across HeroChooseHill <gen>

Visibility - Create an initialy Enabled visibility modifier for (Triggering Player) emitting Fog of war across HeroChooseHill <gen>

Juice_F, assume that the player1 is a computer, and also assume the START LOCATION is where the spawn point is. In custom maps, using dummy units is effective substitution of simple regions
Events
Unit - Paladin 0001 <gen> Is selected
Conditions
((Triggering player) is an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
Actions
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
Unit - Move Paladin 0001 <gen> instantly to (Player 1 (Red) start location)
Unit - Change ownership of Paladin 0001 <gen> to (Triggering player) and Change color
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Player 1 (Red) start location) using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
-------- Visibility stuff --------

Also, Juice_F, if you right-click on the top line of a trigger and select "Copy as Text" you can just paste it here wholesale. In the future, you'd be well-served by putting it in

 tags.

Also, having a Wait of any kind in your trigger gives it the opportunity to overwrite information like (Triggering Player) and any other globals after the wait, which could screw it up.  Alternatives are to set all the globals to locals and jass the trigger, set globals to global arrays indexed by player number, or eliminate the wait.

 

[Juice_F]

I tryed Eusiras trigger but it didn't work, still the same problem, the unit is created for the previus owner. For some reason it seems to think that the triggering player is the previous owner.

 

[Eusira]

I said to change ownership, not spawn a new one

 

[Juice_F]

well thats what i did but it either didn't change ownership or changed ownership to the previous owner
cuz it's still player 12

 

[aarkshark]

OK if this is done by icons, then i cant help,but if its done by modles, simply make a wisp for eahc player, and give it a spell called pick hero
Lets say the hero is a paladin....
EVENTS
-Unit begins casting a spell
CONDITIONS
-Targeted unit equal to [Paladin]
-Ability being cast equal to [Pick Hero]
ACTIONS
-Create 1 [Paladin] for Owner of Casting unit at center of [Region 000]
--Visual Stuff--
-Wait 0.10
-Disable this Trigger

 

[Juice_F]
