Quest that kill multiple units. How to do?

[Allain55X]

Hey, hivers! How do I do a quest that you will kill multiple type of units? For example you have to kill 3 kobold, 3 satyr and 3 troll...like that. This is my trigger but it doesnt work:

• The Revenge Update
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Quest1 is enabled) Equal to True
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Demon Swordsman
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Returned Knight
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Returned Mage
  • Actions
    • Set DemonsSwordsmanKilled = (DemonsSwordsmanKilled + 1)
    • Set ReturnedKnightKilled = (ReturnedKnightKilled + 1)
    • Set ReturnedMageKilled = (ReturnedMageKilled + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • DemonsSwordsmanKilled Equal to 3
        • ReturnedKnightKilled Equal to 3
        • ReturnedMageKilled Equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: You have killed the...
      • Else - Actions

Um, If you use "equal to", doesn't that mean if you kill Demon Swordsman 4 times but not kill another one, the DemonsSwordsmanKilled will become 4, and the If/then/else will be always false?

(He means that it's better use "Greater than or equal to", because "equal to" is an exact match...)

Oh yeah! I forgot.... Thanks for the help +REP ELF!

The easiest way would be to make a different trigger for each unit type.

The problem with your trigger is that it's checking for ALL conditions to be true at the same time, but a unit can't be both a Demon Swordsman and a Returned Knight at the same time.

Hello there.

The reason for why it's not working is because of your conditions. The conditions determine whether or not your actions are run. When you then check if the dying unit is both "Demon Swordsman" and "Returned Knight" and "Returned Mage", your actions will not run. A unit cannot be of multiple types. It's important to know that the conditions are checked each time a unit dies. The "Dying unit" is not a cumulative term, as in it doesn't point to all the units that have died.

So, how to make it work?

The solution lies in taking these lines:

• (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Demon Swordsman
• (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Returned Knight
• (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Returned Mage

...and moving them into an If-Then-Else in your actions.

In other words, this is what your trigger should look like:

• The Revenge Update
• Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies
• Conditions
  • (Quest1 is enabled) Equal to True
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Demon Swordsman
    • Then - Actions
      • Set DemonsSwordsmanKilled = (DemonsSwordsmanKilled + 1)
      • Update the quest?
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Returned Knight
        • Then - Actions
          • Set ReturnedKnightKilled = (ReturnedKnightKilled + 1)
          • Update the quest?
        • Else - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Returned Mage
            • Then - Actions
              • Set ReturnedMageKilled = (ReturnedMageKilled + 1)
              • Update the quest?
            • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • DemonsSwordsmanKilled Greater than or equal to 3
      • ReturnedKnightKilled Greater than or equal to 3
      • ReturnedMageKilled Greater than or equal to 3
    • Then - Actions
      • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: You have killed the...
    • Else - Actions

Oh, yeah, I wanna post that trigger, The Reborn Devil, but you did it first... Thanks for writing the trigger.

(So, Allain55X, hope you understand...)

I would suggest adding those conditions of what unit type is dyingto the main conditions so that event could trigger countless times before that quest is complete.

edit: ^same heh^

 

[defskull]

I was looking at the Conditions (first post) and was thinking to myself, how can a single unit dies, that the unit represents 3 unit-type, lol.

 

[SA Dashie]

Oh yes and use 'OR' in your conditions. xD

• Conditions
  • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Demon Swordsman
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Returned Knight
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Returned Mage

edit: When taking what unit is dying instead of using 'Dying unit' instead use 'Triggering unit' it's slightly faster.

Thanks all of you! It worked for me... but the big thanks go to Reborn Devil!
