Patrolling Question

[cpjok]

this is a inquiry.

i have units patrolling on the map but only half of them are working.

is there a limit on how many patrollers

and how i fix it so they all patrol not just half

You should just try another trigger and put some of them in there.

 

[cpjok]

i did that but there not moving

So you put Map Initialization for both?

• Event- Map Initialization
• Condition - none
• Actions - Unit order (unit name) to patrol to <Region>

iown_azz, why use map intialization? That happens WHILE loading! You should use
Time - Elapsed time is (yourtime)
Around 1 sec or so.
But see how you ALSO could patrol :

• Trigger 001 mover
• Event : A unit enters <Region1>
• Conditions : Triggering unit is equal to YourUnit
• Actions : Trigger : Turn on (This trigger)
• Order (Triggering unit) to (attack) to <Region2>

And then back again :

• Event : A unit enters <Region2>
• Conditions : Triggering unit is equal to YourUnit
• Actions : Trigger - Turn on (this trigger)
• Order (Triggering unit) to (attack) to <Region1>

That should work

That should work

That is to much triggering for a lot of patrollers.

It is quite simple?
And besides "Map intialization" will lagg more.
And btw. i am not even sure the "Patrol" works as it should.

Not really and the "patrol Should work just fine if you do

• Action - unit peasant000<gen> to patrol to (center of [region000])
• action - unit peasant001<gen> to patrol to (center of [region001])

 

[Etzer]

I have never made it work.

 

[iown_azz]

You should try it, Here is a small map of an example...

 

[Etzer]

dude, you may not know, but i am not at home right now, so i can't try it out.

 

[iown_azz]

O my bad but I think I no what you trying to get at but I am pretty sure he means for a Maze not like a map where if u pace by ull get attack

 

[Etzer]

oh lol ok..
