Random Events

[Bznboy]

Is there any way to generate a random event at a random time?
I tried it but it never worked...
Here's how i did it

This was based on randomising hero on the hero selection system by Eleandor. Link is here

This was basically how long each event was, from 1 minute to 5 minutes game time... Still trying to make it real time

My 3 random events... I would add more when i managed to fix it

What I know is that it is either the spawn trigger, the extra trigger or the timer trigger is spoilt... It is not a question to fix it, but to ask people for a way to make it work.

If I violated any terms of the forum here, please let me know. As much as I know I joined long ago, I've never made a map nor asked for triggering help.

You should change the Events:

Images

• Time
• Events:
  • Time - Every (Random real number between 60.00 and 300.00) seconds of game time
• Conditions:
• Actions:
  • Trigger - Turn on Events[(Random integer number between 1 and 3)]
  • Countdown Timer - Start XXXXX as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.05 seconds

• Event 1
• Events:
  • Time - XXXXX expires
• Conditions:
• Actions:
  • Unit - Create 5 Footman for Neutral Hostile at (Center of West<gen>)) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in North <gen>) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Patrol To (Center of Central <gen>)
  • Wait 2.00 seconds
  • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

I suggest u use [ trigger ] [ /trigger ] to write the triggers,dun use pictures. ._.
another Events also copy Events 1

The time trigger is the problem it should be run Events <gen> ignoring conditions not turn on trigger. And take the event - map ini out of all event triggers and turn them on also remove the turn off this trigger actions. If you do this your triggers will work.

You can make variables as type of Integer. Then it's easy to make random. Use Math - Random number between 1 and 3.

Use Math - Random number between 1 and 3.

He's already done this. Did you even look at his triggers?

Don't use

• Trigger - Turn on Events[(Random integer between 1 and 3)]

Instead, Use

• Trigger - Run Events[(Random integer between 1 and 3)] (ignoring conditions)

Yeah I did look at the triggers, but I wrote that down anywayz

Thanks for your comments...
Though most didn't work, Gang Spear's Comment helped me alot...
I finally got it working! Thank you!

Can the Moderator lock this?

Thats good you got your trigger working but a timer wouldn't give you a random time unless you used a random integer variable in the timer to set the expiration time.
