Quest for one player

[Mr_Bean]

Am I missing something? Is there a way to create a quest for just one player, i.e. the one that obtains the quest? Is it possible with GUI?

Thanks,

• Custom script - if GetLocalPlayer = 'Player' then
• Actions 'for specific players'
• Custom script - endif

There is no trigger that makes a quest for a specific player that is in GUI but you can use the custom script 'if GetLocalPlayer = 'Player' then' then the actions in between that action and the end if are only shown for that specific player but only keep use this for such things as messages until you recognize what could desinc your map.

Your custom script is wrong. It doesn't check if player curently executing code is given player but just set player executing code to given player 'Player' what is wierd, since after 'if' there should always be a comparison. Use '==' instead of '=' for negating that mistake.

Furthermore, your script doesn't even call function GetLocationPlayer() since you have missed '()' part - it's important: even if function requires no variables you have write those brackets. Now you cuz call integer variable, since function without passed variables one just numbers.

Proper script:

    if GetLocalPlayer() == Player then
        //actions
    endif

Where Player is your given player.

thanks guys. I don't know JASS so I have a few questions:

- How would I write "owner of triggering unit" in JASS?
- can I just use custom scripts for the local player and normal triggers for actions?

Thanks,

[Bannar]

if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(unitVariablehere) then
    //actions
endif

 

[Mr_Bean]

So, is this correct:

• Q1 Barrens Cleansing
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Quest 1 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetEnteringUnit()) then
    • Quest - Create a Required quest titled Kill Stuff with the description Kill everyone, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp
    • Custom script: endif

 

[Bannar]

Yes it is, although change entering unit to GetTriggerUnit() to improve speed of script.

 

[Mr_Bean]

Awesome, thanks so much!

Try

• Set LocalPlayer = Player 1 (Red) //modify this to whatever player you want to show it for
• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() != udg_LocalPlayer then
• <Your shit here>
• Custom script: endif

So its more easy.

If there any difference in your solution and mine? no.
You just set player variable first, and I used GetOwningPlayer(unit) immidiately in script, since he asked for it.

 

[Mr_Bean]

Thanks, but what is the "!" for? It gives an error if I include it. My trigger looks like this:

• Kill Centaurs
  • Events
    • Unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • Owner of Dying unit Equal to Neutral Hostile
  • Actions
    • Set Local_Player = (Owner of (Killing unit))
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Local_Player then
    • [ACTIONS]
    • Custom script: endif

This should still work, right?

[Bannar]

Mr_Beam use Triggering unit instead of Dying unit.
!= is negate of '==', le'ts make it simple:

== -> Equal to
!= -> Not equal to

 

[Mr_Bean]

oh okay, thanks. sorry, I've only ever used custom scripts to remove leaks - this is new to me. I will use triggering unit.

Thanks,

Spinnaker I forgot to add that () >.>
Also I havn't had acces to WE for about a week now because my notebook has seemed to stop working and was bound to at least make one mistake.
also I added the 'Player' to represent that a player should be there.

 

[Mr_Bean]

This is what my quest currently looks like:

• Quest 1
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
    • Quest - Create a Required quest titled Barrens Cleansing with the description Greetings, Hero. Th..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNcentaur.blp
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Discovered message: |cffffcc00Quest Acc...
    • Special Effect - Destroy Quest_Unobtained_Effect[1]
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Quest_Giver[1] using floating questionmark_v2.mdx
    • Custom script: endif
    • Set Quest[1] = (Last created quest)
    • Quest - Create a quest requirement for Quest[1] with the description Kill 10 Centaurs.
    • Quest - Create a quest requirement for Quest[1] with the description Return to the Serge...
    • Set Quest_Obtained_Effect[1] = (Last created special effect)

"Quest_Unobtained_Effect" is an exclamation mark above the quest giver's head.
"Quest_Obtained_Effect" is a question mark above the quest giver's head.

There should be no problems with this, right? Will it cause a desync or will it cause no issues?

Thanks,

you can also, make a unit variable (with array) and use this (mine is called your_unit)

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Entering unit) Equal to your_unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Entering unit)))]
  • Actions
• your actions here

 

[SA Dashie]

do this instead if your going to use conditions

Conditions

(Entering unit) Equal to your_unit[(Player number of (triggering player))]

 

[Bannar]

@Mr_Bean987 I suggest you create empty requirements before 'if' - I'm just unsure if doing actions just for one player without calling even empty quest won't cause desync.

 

[Mr_Bean]

@Darkgrom and @Deathchef
I know how to do this, I was asking about creating the quest just for one player and if it would cause any problems.

@Spinnaker
Sorry, I don't know any JASS so how would I do this? Thanks!

- Mr_Bean

 

[Chaosy]

then use

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Entering unit) Equal to your_unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Entering unit)))]
  • Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to your_unit[player number of player you want quest to work for]
  • Then - Actions
• your actions here
  • Else - Actions
