[Solved] Question about building sharing.

[K.V.]

Hello, im trying to make a couple of buildings with UPGRADES in them, shared to all allies of the Computer player. It seems that the editor is lacking a function like this and the most relevent one is this;

Events
Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
Conditions
Actions
Player Group - Pick every player in (All allies of Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Change ownership of Town Hall 0000 <gen> to (Picked player) and Retain color

However this function doesn't seem to work as i expect it to, and it loops through the picked players, changing ownership of the unit from the first player in the force to the last one. Any ideas how can i make shared buildings with upgrades in the most easiest and short way?

So all players control this particular building or the owner of the player research and all other gains the research effect?

 

[K.V.]

the owner of the player

Do you mean owner of the unit or ?

 

[Daffa]

yeah, that.

i wan't the players to get control of the building which at the start of the map belongs to a computer.

There's work around:
create abilities for each upgrade- based on "charge gold and lumber" ability
in those abilities set field "Data-Charge Owning Player" to "false"
name it "upgrade XXX" set icon/gold/lumber

add abilities to building that supposed to sell "upgrades"
building should have abilities: Select Unit Ane2 , Sell Units Asud and of course upgrade abilities made before
Set field "Unit classification": Mechanical, Neutral

then, when any player uses ability (buys upgrade) - use trigger like this

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - Goblin Merchant custom 2 0088 <gen> Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Charge Gold and Lumber custom
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Remove Charge Gold and Lumber custom from (Triggering unit)
        • Unit - Add Charge Gold and Lumber to (Triggering unit) <if you have multilevel upgrades>
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: abi
        • Player - Set the current research level of Iron Forged Swords to 1 for Player 1 (Red)
      • Else - Actions
• add next upgrades ....

An intersting resolve indeed, i will try that out.

A building can only have 1 owner at any time. Perhaps it would be possible to make a copy of the building for each player? One can use GetLocalPlayer to resize other player's buildings to be very small and have 100% transparency.

 

[K.V.]

Dr Super Good your idea is very good but i use the building so the players can upgrade the computer's units. So this way upgrades that have like more than 1 rank probably won't update in the other player's building of the same type.

 

[Dr Super Good]

When a player researches one of the upgrades, increment the level of that upgrade for all players using the appropriate trigger action to set upgrade level.

I tested it and it works just perfect thanks for the resolve Dr S.G. If i have any further struggles with the editor can i turn up to you ?

Unless it is something small it is usually better to make a topic about the problem.
