No More Than Two Heroes

[Swift9001]

Okay, I'm making a ranger for my map, and I want him to be able to charm a pet. I'll have neutral heroes walking around and everything. Unfortunately, I have run across a problem. How can I make it so that the Ranger can only have two heroes? And if you tell me to delete one, I do not want the Ranger to be deleted. As there are many pets that roam around the map, I want the Ranger to be able to charm another one if he wants to, and the last one to be deleted. I need either a trigger to instaneously do it or some sort of system where the Ranger can give up the previous pet and get another one.

How about you could give up the pet as a command like kill the rangers pet and so having anther pet and just put a trigger were that player can only have 2 heros.

Well, assuming that the player owns the ranger and the 2 heroes (3 units) and that the ability being cast is something like charm.

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Ability
  • Actions
    • If ((Number of units in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red))) Equal to 3) then do (Unit - Kill (Ownership-changed unit)) else do (Do nothing)

Good idea, but I need the ranger to be able to switch their pets. Your trigger above would kill the unit that was just charmed, but I need the first one to be charmed to die.

I'm sorry, I still don't know how to do this?

Maybe with hashtables:

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hash_Pets = (Last created hashtable)

• Untitled Trigger 015
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Holy Light
  • Actions
    • -------- -------------------- --------
    • -------- Loads the two last charmed pets to variables --------
    • -------- -------------------- --------
    • Set Temp_Unit_1 = (Load (Key pet_new) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hash_Pets)
    • Set Temp_Unit_2 = (Load (Key pet_old) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hash_Pets)
    • -------- -------------------- --------
    • -------- Kills the "older" pet --------
    • -------- -------------------- --------
    • Unit - Kill Temp_Unit_2
    • -------- -------------------- --------
    • -------- Saves the previous newer pet as the older pet, saved the new pet as newer pet --------
    • -------- -------------------- --------
    • Hashtable - Save Handle OfTemp_Unit_1 as (Key pet_old) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hash_Pets
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Target unit of ability being cast) as (Key pet_new) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hash_Pets

• Switch
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Animate Dead
  • Actions
    • Set num1 = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • heros[(2 x num1)] Equal to No unit
      • Then - Actions
        • Set num1 = (2 x num1)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set num1 = ((Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) + 1)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • heros[(2 x num1)] Equal to No unit
          • Then - Actions
            • Set num1 = (2 x num1)
          • Else - Actions
            • Set num1 = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • Unit - Remove heros[num1] from the game
    • Set heros[num1] = (Target unit of ability being cast)

In var editor you need:
-unit array[24] heros
-integer num1

 

[Dr Super Good]

When the ranger charms a pet, remove all heroes that are not the ranger (as he has a specific ID obviously which you ignore from the selection) and then give the new pet to the ranger?

Thanks so much. I'll make sure to use this in my map. +rep.
