[General] question about, set kill, -kills #

[Dinan]

i have a question again, how to set kill by using text chat
minimum= 30 kills, and max= 300 kills
like:
-kills 250
then any team which reached 250 kills first will win the game

Using substrings. Look at my tutorial Things a GUIer should know. The chapter on substrings will show you how.

[Rheiko]

that's correct

 

[deathismyfriend]

that's correct

It may be correct but it is inefficient.

When he sets the string variable to a substring he should simply convert it into an integer and use an integer variable rather than converting it multiple times.

ok i did it and works
but how to apply it to the win condition?
here is my current trigger
- Condition for Team A to win
Team1 Wins
Events
Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
Conditions
Team1_Kills Greater than or equal to 30
Actions
Game - Victory Player 1 (Red) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
Game - Victory Player 2 (Blue) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
Game - Victory Player 3 (Teal) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
Game - Victory Player 4 (Purple) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
Game - Victory Player 5 (Yellow) (Show dialogs, Show scores)

- trigger for team kills
Team1 Kills
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) is A Hero) Equal to True
((Killing unit) is in Team1_Heroes) Equal to True
Actions
Set Team1_Kills = (Team1_Kills + 1)

so whenever i type -kills 250 (for example)
the "Team1_Kills Greater than or equal to 30" changed to "Team1_Kills Greater than or equal to 250"

ive been spent many hours to make it works, but still can't figure out

thanks, reading it right now

The problem is in your condition trigger you use a variable and a standard above 30 kills.
To make this work you need two variables. One to store the kill amount entered in by the user. The other to store the current kills that user has gotten.

In a unit dies trigger increase the current kills integer.
In the victory trigger check if current kills is greater than or equal to kills chosen.

Also take a look at this for posting triggers. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/how-easily-post-triggers-163285/

ok it is working now
now i bit confused how to automatically set the kills to default when the player didnt type in specific time

but yeah i'm going to try first, then ask if got a problem hhe

 

[deathismyfriend]

the variable you use for the player to set kills simply set it at map init to a default time. If player changes it it will update if not it will stay default.

yeah i already did that
i want ask something again

If player1 didnt type -kills ### within 15 seconds, the trigger (-set kills trigger) will turn off

how can i make that into trigger?

so if player1 didnt type -kills ### within 15 seconds, the set kills will stay at 30 kills as what i setup in Map Initialization before.
ofcourse since the -set kills trigger turned off, player1 can't no longer set the game kills

haha hope you understand

Use a timer and have it end 15 seconds after the -kills message is displayed. Then in a timer ends trigger disable the trigger that registers the player chat message with -kills in it.

Also never use do nothing. The only thing it does is slow down triggers. It doesn't Do nothing like the action suggests. Use comments to separate things if needed.
