Open Gates Created INGAME

[Shaki]

Hello, i would like to ask something. How do i create a trigger where it opens a gate that was created in game, with a certain item.
I know you can set variables to the specific gate and item and all that blah blah blah.
The real issue that i am having is that i need this to work.

• fhfd
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Blue Door
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Blue Key) Equal to True
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Mazer
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Open Blue Door
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Destructible - Remove Blue Door

The main issue is, i want a destructible OF type, to be the event. help.
So, my request is to make a trigger like that. You can use Custom Script even. Thanks for helping

It's pretty simple.. you could have made it yourself, but you didn't know the fact that destructables can't be used as events like you want to use them.

So what we're going to do is using a normal unit instead. Just create a new custom Unit based of a normal building, let's say the human barracks. Remove all unneeded things, like can produce units, build-requirements, etc. After that change the Model of the Building to your Gate you want to use and also add the shadow path from the Gate to it, or it could look a bit strange. Now scroll down to the Path options, you have to set the Gate as a path, so no units can pass it easily and it will fit with the model you choosed, some adjustments here and there, maybe about selection scaling and you're done with the Gate.

Now here's the Trigger that will only open the Gate if the trespassing Unit has the needed item(s).

• Open Gate
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 150.00 of Gate (closed) 0004 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal Mazer 0002 <gen>
    • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Gate-Key XY) Equal True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace Gate (closed) 0004 <gen> with a Gate (open) using new Unit's: Standard - life and mana
    • Animation - Play (Last replaced unit)'s death alternate animation

Event: Just choose the Gate you want to open for this trigger and change it with "Gate (closed) 0004 <gen>" in the trigger

Actions: You just need to copy the "Gate Closed" Unit and paste it to the object editor. after that just edit the path from normal Gate to "Gate <dead>" path, so the units can pass it after it was opened.

Hope you get it, good luck trying this Already tested it, and it definitly works!

Thanks for the attempt of helping but thats not what i stated needed help with. I dont need a SPECIFIC GATE that is NOT a variable. It is a gate that the player can create multiple of in game. So i cant select a certain unit. sorry for your time but it helped me none at all .

Uhm it will help you

1.
You can do this with this trigger easily.. just use variables.. set Blue Gate[x] (variable with array, x = number that raises, like x= x+1 after each use) = Last created Unit (Your Gate)

Later on set the Key into variables. BlueKey[y] = Blue Key Item XYZ.
If Unit comes within Range of Gate[x] he needs BlueKey[y], which for example could be key1 or 5 or whatever.. You just need to control that x=y in that moment, so Key5 only works for Gate5, not for Gate4.

2.
You could create a invisible Unit near the Gate, store it into a variable and then just use this unit to open the gate, like Mazer comes close to Unit XY, open gate, if he has the Key..

That's all I can help you for now, if this don't helps you at all, I just tried it Good Luck with it!
