Next Player in <PlayerGroup> ?!

[sadvisor]

Let's say I have a player group called....Racers In this player group are all the players controlled by a human player that is still playing; once a guy leaves the game, he's removed from Racers.

Is there any function to get the next player form Racers?
I want to make a map in wich each player has to do a move, but he must only able to do it when is he's turn.

Loop through the group, and check whether the controller == user and user is playing or not.

Or maybe, you mean something like this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer loopA) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Player is in PlayerGroup
            • Player_Index Equal to loopA
            • ((Player(loopA)) controller) Equal to User
            • ((Player(loopA)) slot status) Equal to Is playing
          • Then - Actions
            • Custom script: DO YOUR THINGIES HERE
          • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Player_Index Equal to 12
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Player_Index = 1
          • Else - Actions
            • Set Player_Index = (Player_Index + 1)
        • Skip remaining actions

Just something I triggered quickly. Set the index to 1 at initilization.

It loops through players. Player_Index keeps track whose turn it is.

But tough to say more without knowing more.

 

[sadvisor]

this is no good. Think about it.

Let's say that the following players are still in game: 1,4,5 and 7, while 2,3 and 6 quited the game or are unused slots.
Now let's say player 1 just completed his move. The variable "Player_Index" will be set to 2, and because player 2 is not in game....guess what...the game will block.

Then try using some integer with array. Each variable will represent one player:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set PlayersInteger[(IntegerA)] = (PlayersInteger[(IntegerA)] + 1)

Then, you can use a periodic event, which will run through PlayersInteger and, if PlayersInteger slot Equal to Unused or Computer or Not playing, then set PlayersInteger = PlayersInteger + 1.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer B) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Player(PlayersInteger[(IntegerB)])) controller) Not Equal to User
        • ((Player(PlayersInteger[(IntegerB)])) slot status) Not Equal to Is playing
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (IntegerB) Less than 12
          • Then - Actions
            • Set NewPlayer = (Player(IntegerB + 1)) <---- This will be your "next player".
          • Else - Actions

Try something like this. PlayersInteger[] is an Integer variable, NewPlayer is a player variable. Those "Player()" things come from Player Conversion (when it asks your for a player, scroll to Convert Player index to Player.

• Set PlayersInteger[(IntegerA)] = (PlayersInteger[(IntegerA)] + 1)

First of all, I don't understand why " +1 ".
I first thought it's some sort of mistake since in GUI Player(1) = Player 1 (Red)
Only in JASS Player(0) is Player 1 (Red).

There are some other thing I don't understand, like, for example, why the heck you all seem to consider me some kind of a noob, but anyway...

The trigger you posted isn't in any way batter the the one posted by Maker

Guess why.

Test this:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Add Player 9 (Gray) to PlayerGroup
    • Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to PlayerGroup
    • Player Group - Add Player 6 (Orange) to PlayerGroup
    • Player Group - Add Player 3 (Teal) to PlayerGroup
    • Set Player_Index = 1

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer loopA) from Player_Index to 13, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Player_Index Equal to 13
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Player_Index = 1
            • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (ignoring conditions)
            • Skip remaining actions
          • Else - Actions
            • Set Player_Index = (Player_Index + 1)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Player(loopA)) is in PlayerGroup) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Player number of (Player(loopA)))))
            • Skip remaining actions
          • Else - Actions

It will display 1,3,6,9,1,3,6,9,1,3,6,9...

You are rly, friendly huh? Go make it yourself if you think you are better then other.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Seriously, are you kidding me? You are asking for help, we try out different ways of recovering you from your problem and this is your reaction? And yes, I can't know your triggering level.
Go solve it yourself.

 

[sadvisor]

Etzer, I don't care for you, so just go do something else. I don't need this kind of useless s*** in my thread.

@Pharaoh_, @Maker: No. None of this thing work. Thanks for trying, anyway.
If somebody manages to do it, please attach the map.
Rep to both for wasting some time on this, have a nice day.

 

[Anachron]

Maker and Pharao_ are correct.
That is what I use as well. Also there is no really speed decrease when looping to 12 instead of 4 players.

 

[Etzer]

You GO FUCKING RELAX!
I don't want to hear that shit goddammit. They are trying to help you but you SH** on their help sitting on your high chair thinking : "I am better then anybody else"

 

[sadvisor]

this is no good. Think about it.

Let's say that the following players are still in game: 1,4,5 and 7, while 2,3 and 6 quited the game or are unused slots.
Now let's say player 1 just completed his move. The variable "Player_Index" will be set to 2, and because player 2 is not in game....guess what...the game will block.

Pharaoh_, how about reading the posts before posting a trigger?

 

[Etzer]

Wow, you are in fact annoying. Too sad i am unable to report you for that.

 

[Maker]

How does my newer solution not work? It displays the player number of the "next player" that is in the player group. If there's no next player, it will start from the beginning of the group. Therefore, you can determine who's turn it is.

Just a matter of integrating it to your system.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I did, apparently, that is why I posted an alternative solution. If you have appetite for flaming, go in other forums that will accept your behaviour. Just don't be so annoying. I did post some other way that would maybe help you out; the trigger I posted uses periodic event, I didn't imply in any way that my trigger was better than Maker's. What's the matter with you?

 

[sadvisor]

Thanks again Maker, I think it'll work.

 

[Maker]

You're welcome.
