Random Building

[Just call me Js]

Have you guys seen in like Gem TD where the building comes out random? Like you build something then it comes out probably as Building1 or Building2 or Building3?

I am trying to put that effect into my map but dont know how to

 

[YoshiRyu]

trigger
builder is issued to built B0
set randint = random between 1 and 3
if (randint=1) order builder to built B1
if (randint=2) order builder to built B2
if (randint=3) order builder to built B3

Im not a computer with WE on it but ill try an explain, hope I can write it ok...

Events: A unit finishes construction
Conditions: Unit Type of (Constructed Structure) equal to (your structure)
Actions: If: (Random number from x to y) equal to 1
Then: Unit replace (Constructed Structure) With a (your structure)
Else If: (Random number from x to y) equal to 2
Then: Unit replace (Constructed Structure) With a (your structure)
Etc.
Just keep repeating this for each building that you want to have a chance to be build, and it should work. Hope this helps

i prefer mine, because you've got the right build animation for each kind of building

I did that one in a while. I used two Triggers, Type 1 was always builded and when it finished it was exchange with 2 other towers or would simply stay.

This one is to set my array

• Variables
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set LuckDips[1] = Lucky Dip Type 2 Level 1
    • Set LuckDips[2] = Lucky Dip Type 3 Level 1
    • Set LuckDips[3] = Lucky Dip Type 2 Level 2
    • Set LuckDips[4] = Lucky Dip Type 3 Level 2
    • Set LuckDips[5] = Lucky Dip Type 2 Level 3
    • Set LuckDips[6] = Lucky Dip Type 3 Level 3
    • Set LuckDips[7] = Lucky Dip Type 2 Level 4
    • Set LuckDips[8] = Lucky Dip Type 3 Level 4
    • Set LuckDips[9] = Lucky Dip Type 2 Level 5
    • Set LuckDips[10] = Lucky Dip Type 3 Level 5

This one is to exchange the Towers

function Trig_Exchange_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    local integer u
    set u = GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())
    if ( (  u == 'h00S' ) or (u == 'h00Y') or (u == 'h00B') or ( u== 'h00T') or (u == 'h00X' )) then
        return true
    endif
    return false
endfunction

function Trig_Exchange_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
local integer tmp
local integer value
set value = GetUnitUserData(GetTriggerUnit()) + 1
call SetUnitUserData(GetTriggerUnit(),value)
set tmp =  GetRandomInt(0,2)
if (tmp != 0) then
    set tmp = tmp + 2 * (value - 1)
    call ReplaceUnitBJ(GetTriggerUnit(),udg_LuckDips[tmp],bj_UNIT_STATE_METHOD_MAXIMUM)      
    call SetUnitUserData(GetLastReplacedUnitBJ(),value)
    call SelectUnitForPlayerSingle( GetLastReplacedUnitBJ(), Player(0) )
endif
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Exchange takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Exchange = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Exchange, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_UPGRADE_FINISH )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Exchange, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_CONSTRUCT_FINISH )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Exchange, Condition( function Trig_Exchange_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Exchange, function Trig_Exchange_Actions )
endfunction

If you want the map i can attach it for ya

 

[Xzife_TD01]

Thats true, i never gave a thought about the animations lol

it has to do with random integer variables and number integer of the # of random integer variables (to stand for the unit-type) input into "when unit builds building" event or w.e the action will replace the "building unit" with a random unit type from an integeral value of random(that would stand for your types of buildings that will be a % to be built) from 1 to "the # of random integer variables" like wut godless did but he forgot to add the "# of random integer variable"

• Initialize random buildings
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- These next values will be an example. --------
    • Set RandomBuilding[1] = Guard Tower
    • Set RandomBuilding[2] = Cannon Tower
    • Set RandomBuilding[3] = Arcane Tower
    • Set RandomBuilding[4] = Watch Tower
    • Set RandomBuilding[5] = Spirit Tower
    • Set RandomBuilding[6] = Nerubian Tower
    • Set RandomBuilding[7] = Ancient Protector
    • Set RandomBuilding[8] = Tidal Guardian
    • Set RandomBuildingNumber = 8

set the RandomBuildingNumber to = the last value you input for your RandomBuildings

• Random regular buildings
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Constructed structure) with a RandomBuilding[(Random integer number between 1 and RandomBuildingNumber)] using The new unit's default life and mana

This will be universal, and will work for any player that builds a building. so you will only need one of this trigger

Array indexes start at 0 -.-

 

[Just_Spectating]

Array indexes start at 0 -.-

w/e it still works... and starting at 1 makes it easier to see how many you have, else you might forget it starts at 0 and miss one

 

[YoshiRyu]

that's just a small mem leak, because the 0 index still take its space in the ram.

PS: it make it easier for you, but anyone who is used to program use [0,n-1] index for the n-sized arrays, because that's the proper way to use arrays.
