PVP Problems

[Aklirth]

In an RPG map I am currently working on, I want to create an arena that when walking into 'Entrance A' you are put onto one team, and when you walk into 'Entrance B' you are put on the opposite team. This is made for a dueling/arena where a group of allies can go in to pit out against eachother and have fun, but upon leaving the arena are still allies. Sadly for me this doesnt seem to want to work . The problem being; said trigger does not change the alliance of said allies when they enter the arena (from different sides.)

Please Help!

I havn't posted the Death/Leaving Triggers here because thats not the problem atm.

 

[Starquizer]

Could you post your triggers in [TRIGGER][rainbow]Copy trigger as text from the editor and paste it here[/rainbow][/TRIGGER] tags ?

 

[Assassins-Creed]

I'm not sure if I am right or not, but I don't believe you can use indexes as player groups.

You don't have to make the alliance checking a periodic one. Just set the alliance aspects once before and after the battle.

Okay thanks, do you know any other ways I could trigger this? Would very much appreciate help!

Yeah I think I was doing it pretty rushed at the time. Thanks!

I think he will need this, cause if one unit enters in team 1 and no one is on team two then someone joins team 2, the person on team two will be enemies with team 1 and team 1 will still be allies with team 2.
Try this:
Entering Region

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Arena1 <gen>
    • Unit - A unit enters Arena2 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set EnteringUnit = (Triggering unit)
    • -------- This is used because you use "triggering unit" more then twice. --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Arena1 <gen> contains EnteringUnit) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Move EnteringUnit instantly to (Center of ArenaPoint1 <gen>)
        • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of EnteringUnit) to (Position of EnteringUnit) over 1.00 seconds
        • Camera - Set (Owner of EnteringUnit)'s camera Distance to target to 4000.00 over 1.00 seconds
        • Player Group - Add (Owner of EnteringUnit) to ArenaPGroup1
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Arena2 <gen> contains EnteringUnit) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Move EnteringUnit instantly to (Center of ArenaPoint2 <gen>)
            • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of EnteringUnit) to (Position of EnteringUnit) over 1.00 seconds

            • Player Group - Add (Owner of EnteringUnit) to ArenaPGroup2
          • Else - Actions

Loop:

• loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time

  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in ArenaPGroup1 and do (Player Group - Make ArenaPGroup1 treat ArenaPGroup1 as an Ally with shared vision)

Isn't choosing team A or B must be decided before the battle starts, therefore there is no need for periodic check.

@ Assassins-Creed I failed to understand your point, perhaps I miss understand what Aklirth trying to accomplish in the first place

 

[Aklirth]

Isn't choosing team A or B must be decided before the battle starts, therefore there is no need for periodic check.

StarQuizer is correct I don't need to use periodic check to add them to teams.

Ive added in your triggers Assassins-Creed and i'll get back to you on if they work when I have another person to test it with me! (I cant exactly test alliances by myself!)

 

[Aklirth]

No luck! I have tried your triggers Assassins' and no luck!

Would the fact that they are in the same force make a difference, they are not allied at the begginning of the game but I have a Trigger that puts them on the same team so it obviously will work.

Could it be that I use a variable?

 

[Assassins-Creed]

Use the variable perhaps? This isn't tested but it looks like it should work.

 

[Starquizer]

Let me try and make it for you.

 

[KnnO]

I think each time you change the player group (A or B) you should make each player in the group to treat each player in the other group as enemy and each one in the same as ally.

There are four things to do

• Make Group A treat Group B as enemies
• Make Group B treat Group A as enemies
• Make Group A Players treat Group A Players as allies (except theirselves if picked)
• Make Group B Players treat Group A Players as allies (except theirselves if picked)

 

[Aklirth]

Use the variable perhaps? This isn't tested but it looks like it should work.

I don't understand which variable your reffering to sorry.

Let me try and make it for you.

I would very much appreciate this!

There are four things to do
Make Group A treat Group B as enemies
Make Group B treat Group A as enemies
Make Group A Players treat Group A Players as allies (except theirselves if picked)
Make Group B Players treat Group A Players as allies (except theirselves if picked)

Already done this but thanks for trying!

 

[Assassins-Creed]

The unit it variable at the start of my trigger? lol.

 

[Aklirth]

The unit it variable at the start of my trigger? lol.

Oh in that case, Like I said i've already tried your trigger. (The entire thing)
Thanks though!
