[Trigger] Patrol Trigger Problem

[ThaSHeep]

Hiya

I just got a problem with my escape map ><

How do I make an unit patroling the way like on the pic? (click to enlarge )



-> means: Area 1 -> Area 2 -> Area 3 -> Area 2 -> Area 1 -> Area 2 and so on.

Already tried it with vars but didnt work..


Best wishes

3 regions

unit enters region 2 (the middle one) order it to move to region 3
unit enters region 3 order it to move to region 2
unit enters region 2 order it to move to region 1
unit enters region 1 order it to move to region 2

and so on, it would be complicated to connect (for me)

something like this (idea in my head)

You forget that your confusing the unit. I can imagine the poor fellow thinks: I'm in Region 2, but I'm ordered to go the both Region 1 and 3!

To solve this: Change the trigger that takes effect when you enter region 2 a bit. You will get these triggers:

• Area 1
  • Events
    • A unit enters Area 1 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) is in Patrol Unit Group (<--- Unit Group variable)
  • Actions
    • Order (Triggering unit) to Move to (Center of (Area 2))

• Area 2
  • Events
    • A unit enters Area 2 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) is in Patrol Unit Group (<--- Unit Group variable)
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • FromArea1 = True (FromArea1 is a Boolean variable to check from which Area the unit came from)
      • Then - Actions
        • Order (Triggering unit) to Move to (Center of (Area 3))
        • Set FromArea1 = False
      • Else - Actions
        • Order (Triggering unit) to Move to (Center of (Area 1))
        • Set FromArea1 = True

• Area 3
  • Events
    • A unit enters Area 3 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) is in Patrol Unit Group (<--- Unit Group variable)
  • Actions
    • Order (Triggering unit) to Move to (Center of (Area 2))

EDIT: I was making these triggers while you posted that. I don't get why you use such hard JASS for something this simple.

Because making the system is hard Jass, but using it is not

Those GUI triggers are both easy to make AND to use
