Any questions I'm going to have are probably going to be horribly simple so please forgive my ignorance but this is just not my strong suit.

I'm trying to make a Trigger so that when an Item, e.g a Key, is brought to an area, e.g. the Region zoned around the Altar, it opens the BIG Runed Gate.

How can I do this?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Event
- a unit enters region
Condiotion
- entering unit has key item equal to true
Action
- Open (your door destructable on the map)
- Remove key item from entering unit.

This is the basic pesudo code for what has to be done. The GUI actions should be easy enough for you to find.

Works like a charm, Thank you very much


Few more questions, I want to reduce the player's sight range but only while they are inside a specific zone.

I am also having trouble slowing down the death animations, I know there is the "Death time(seconds)" in the unit editor, but it does not seem to be working, is ther a way to augment this effect?

I'm banging my head on the keyboard trying to figure out sounds, getting a sound to play upon entering a region. Its probably something simple I'm overlooking, XP

To reduce player's sight range - if the place is closed use line of sight blockers on its borders, if not you could apply negative ultravision- research it when the player enters the zone, remove it when the player leaves the zone.

To slow death anims - You could try the Animation category in the triggers, or slowing the general game speed with the Game category in the triggers... But I'm not sure.
For your informatin the Death time (seconds) modifies the time in between the unit's start of death (in other words, when the unit's hitpoints become 0) till it starts decaying. So no, it wasn't supposed to help.

Sounds are simple: Go to the sound editor and right click the sound you want to play and select the matching from "Use as sound", "Use as music", or set the sound to the value of a variable in Map init or whenever.
In both cases, it will end like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters YourRegion
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Sound - Play YourSound
  • -------- Note that the sound will be either your variable or the name of the sound that you modified in the Sound Editor --------

Important: You must make the difference between music (in the background) and sounds, like death sounds, monologue sounds and so on. In the sound editor, you are able to edit the properties of your sound and modify it according to your needs.
Good luck exploring WE!

Thanks, I figured out what was wrong, I had to disable the sounds "3D Sound" auto setting.
