Peasent is Carrying Resouces

[Gallin]

I was wondering if there was a way to start a trigger when a peasant leaves a goldmine/finishes chopping trees.


Im trying to think of a way that would give an item to a peasant after they collect resources

Isn't there any kind of Animation comparison? You could do it detecting when the unit plays the Gold Gather animation (or however it's called, or its index).

 

[mckill2009]

check the GetUnitCurrentOrder of the peasant which is harvest, then you need to have
a global variable real set to "1", then 'every' order of harvest set the variable to "0"...

the event will be "Value of real variable"...if you know GDD damage detection, that's the idea...

^uhm...you know that you can use the shift so you can relay orders after the current order is finished..right? Like for example, after the peon comes out of the gold mine, he'll do the shifted order. So instead of ReturnResources order, he'll get the order you shifted him. So that might mess your idea.

 

[Gallin]

Do you have a suggestion as how it could work?

 

[Spartipilo]

Ok... Do this:

Place a gold mine, and one worker, and a townhall to deliver the gold.

Every 0.5 second of game time
Game - Display Text -> Current order of YourWorker <gen>

That way you can know what's the worker doing, and what changes when he goes inside and outside the gold mine.

EDIT: If you "right click" the mine, the order is "smart". When the worker gets out of the mine carrying the gold, the action is "resume harvesting", same than "return resources" actions. When you order "harvest" the unit, the action is "harvest". Same happens with trees.

You would have to add peasants to a unit group, and pick every 0.03 segs every unit in that unit group, and if the action is "resume harvest" and the unit is in (Units within xxxx distance from Unit of Type Gold Mine) then-> Give the item. Of course, removing the leaks.

EDIT2: This may work. It has leaks and it's poorly done (it's 2:20am) but may give you a clue. Just like it's, it creates the item only if the worker is really near to the gold mine right after he leaves the gold mine.

EDIT3: Tried to fix triggers a bit.

          • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TPoint)
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TGroup)

I'm not sure, but I guess this is needed to avoid storing unneeded unit data.

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Peasant
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key (Triggering unit)) in MineHash

Doesn't work always. May stop working for one or two trips (Of returning gold) if you give a different order during the process. Don't have the time right now to check why it doesn't work when you interrupt the action (It's 2:36am now)

@supertoinkz
Im not talking about ReturnHarvest but 'during' the harvest of trees, the order
will be checked all the time and the real will be set to "0" everytime...it will really
work but I have another idea...

Here Gallin, try this...

• ReturnHarvest
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Peasant
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local integer o = GetUnitCurrentOrder(GetTriggerUnit())
    • Custom script: if o==852018 then
    • -------- actions come here --------
    • Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(I2S(o))
    • Custom script: endif

the 852018 is the order spell/id of the harvest...

 

[Spartipilo]

But "harvest" is the same for trees and Gold Mines... How to know if it's harvesting a tree or a gold mine?

 

[Gallin]

Well along with the gold mine is there also a way to make a different item when the trees are harvested?

 

[Spartipilo]

Depends... If the unit is ordered "resumeharvesting" and has a tree really near to him, you can say that he was harvesting a tree.

 

[Gallin]

How do you check if its next to the tree tho because the tree isnt a unit

 

[Spartipilo]

• Destructible - Pick every destructible within 256.00 of (Center of (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to Summer Tree Wall
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions

 

[mckill2009]

But "harvest" is the same for trees and Gold Mines... How to know if it's harvesting a tree or a gold mine?

he said >>> "peasant leaves a goldmine/finishes chopping trees"

852018 is also for goldmine

 

[Gallin]

How about transfering that item when it returns back to the townhall?

 

[Spartipilo]

M... You would have to pick every unit around the townhall and check if the current order is "resumeharvesting" and give the item, but couldn't know if the unit harvested gold or wood, unless you check that before.

 

[Gallin]

With a condition that the picked unit has a certain item right?

 

[Spartipilo]

"transfering" that items means what?... From the Peasant to the Townhall?

 

[Gallin]

Yes the item that was created when it came out of the goldmine to the townhall

 

[Spartipilo]

Ah... you could just remove it.

Hero - Order hero to drop X item.
Item - Remove (last dropped item)

 

[Gallin]

Ah... you could just remove it.

But I want the item to be in the townhall

 

[Spartipilo]

I don't know if you can give Townhall the Inventory Ability... Anyway, you can remove the item from the peasant, and create it in the Townhall. Is "easier" than actually giving the item.

 

[Gallin]

You can give the town-hall an inventory I'm pretty sure. I am not the best with triggers do you think you could make an example trigger?

 

[Spartipilo]

After the peasants return the resources, the most common action they would do is "harvest". The same way I did the triggers to detect if the unit was harvesting gold, or tree, you could detect if the unit is ordered to harvest and has a near town hall
