Random Hero Tavern..

[Creepingdeath]

Hello! I'm making a hero tavern on my map with several heroes on it and I want a random icon in my tavern that chooses a random hero. I believe that this would be very similar to the system thing in Footmen Frenzy..

I'm not sure I will need my old triggers, but I'll post them here aswell..

And one more thing, the random system always picks the same hero...

These are my triggers:

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Camera - Pan camera for (Picked player) to (Center of Region 012 <gen>) with height 0.00 above the terrain over 0.00 seconds
  • Set Total_Heroes = 7
  • Set Random_Count = 7
  • Set Hero_Array[1] = Druid of the Talon
  • Set Hero_Array[2] = Ugly Hunter
  • Set Hero_Array[3] = Shadow Caster
  • Set Hero_Array[4] = Secret Keeper
  • Set Hero_Array[5] = Wolf Rider
  • Set Hero_Array[6] = Tauren Chieftain
  • Set Hero_Array[7] = O.o Panda
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 7, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set Random_Data[(Integer A)] = (Integer A)

I don't know if its right, I followed SD_Ryoko's http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/herotavern.php

Help is very apreaciated!

(removed text)

EDIT: OK, i've just looked at the tutorial you've linked... it's an exclusive hero system
what do you exactly want?

 

[Creepingdeath]

Well, I followed the tutorial..

I changed some stuff, but I can't completely figure it out. You wanna post the whole trigger?

 

[YoshiRyu]

forget what i've saying, the tuto explain you how to do some thing very complicated: an exclusive hero system
(if a player take the shadow caster, the other ones can't choose it too) is that you want?

(i don't think, because 7 exclusive heroes for 8 players, it's not possible)

 

[Creepingdeath]

What I actually want is a hero tavern (with my heroes ofc) with an icon (question mark) you can
pick and get a random hero. If you've played footmen frenzy you'll know what I'm talking about.

 

[YoshiRyu]

i've not played footmen frenzy

so if you just want an "random" choice:

• Hero list init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Heroes_count = [COLOR="DimGray"]the number of different heroes in your map[/COLOR]
    • Set Hero_Array[1] = [COLOR="dimgray"]your first hero[/COLOR]
    • Set Hero_Array[2] = [COLOR="dimgray"]your second hero[/COLOR]
    • Set Hero_Array[3] = [COLOR="dimgray"]your third hero[/COLOR]
    • [COLOR="dimgray"]etc etc...[/COLOR]

• Random Choice management
• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -random as An exact match
  • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -random as An exact match
  • [COLOR="dimgray"]etc etc...[/COLOR]
• Conditions
  • (Number of units in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))) Equal to 0
• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Hero_Array[Random integer number between 1 and Heroes_count] for (Triggering player) at ((Triggering player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (A player has randomed + (Name of (Last created unit)))
  • Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Last created unit))

Thanks man I'm gonna use this one..

Much easier than I suspected

• Random Choice management
• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -random as An exact match
  • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -random as An exact match
  • [COLOR="dimgray"]etc etc...[/COLOR]
• Conditions
  • (Number of units in (Units owned by (Triggering player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))) Equal to 0
• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Hero_Array[Random integer number between 1 and Heroes_count] for (Triggering player) at ((Triggering player) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (A player has randomed + (Name of (Last created unit)))
  • Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Last created unit))

The thing is: I would rather not have a player to have to type -random for a random hero, so I want (in my hero tavern, where you eventually choose your heroes) a "unit" I can buy instead of choosing heroes that buys a random hero.

I hope I explained in a way that you would understand ..

 

[YoshiRyu]

if you want a "buy unit" event instead of "type message" event
use a "buy unit" event... what want you me to say?

but it was me, i would prefer a unit with one ability for each hero (+random) instead of a tavern

Hmm, I made a try :

• Set stuff Copy
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Total_Heroes = 7
    • Set Random_Count = 7
    • Set Hero_Array[1] = Druid of the Talon
    • Set Hero_Array[2] = Ugly Hunter
    • Set Hero_Array[3] = Shadow Caster
    • Set Hero_Array[4] = Secret Keeper
    • Set Hero_Array[5] = Wolf Rider
    • Set Hero_Array[6] = Tauren Chieftain
    • Set Hero_Array[7] = O.o Panda
    • Set Random_Count = (Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)

• Random
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Equal to Random Hero
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Hero_Array[(Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)] for (Owner of (Sold unit)) at ((Owner of (Sold unit)) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Item - Create Scroll of Town Portal at ((Owner of (Last created unit)) start location)
    • Hero - Give (Last created item) to (Last created unit)
    • Item - Create |cff530080Horn of Cenarius at ((Owner of (Last created unit)) start location)
    • Hero - Give (Last created item) to (Last created unit)
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 15.00 seconds the text: ((Name of (Owner of (Last created unit))) + ( has randomed + (Name of (Last created unit))))
    • Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Last created unit))
    • Player - Set (Owner of (Last created unit)) Current lumber to 0
    • Set Random_Count = (Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)

The "Random Hero" unit is just a unit I made unselectable and won't be noticed ingame...

Now the problem is that I get the same unit every time I buy the "Random Unit" I get the same hero (shadow caster) for some reason..

I know there must be an easier way, but I just did it like this

 

[YoshiRyu]

wrong, let see what is done...
Set Random_Count = 7
so Random_count is set to 7
Set Random_Count = (Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)
so Random_count is now set to something between 1 and 7... maybe 3
and then a player choose random
Unit - Create 1 Hero_Array[(Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)]
so the player have a hero between the first and maybe the 3rd
Set Random_Count = (Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)
so Random_count is now set to something between 1 and maybe 3... maybe 2
an other player choose random
Unit - Create 1 Hero_Array[(Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)]
so the player have a hero between the first and maybe the 2nd
Set Random_Count = (Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)
so Random_count is now set to something between 1 and maybe 2... maybe 1
an other player choose random
Unit - Create 1 Hero_Array[(Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)]
so the player have a hero between the first and the first
Set Random_Count = (Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)
so Random_count is now set to something between 1 and 1... so 1
an other player choose random
Unit - Create 1 Hero_Array[(Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)]
so the player have a hero between the first and the first
Set Random_Count = (Random integer number between 1 and Random_Count)
so Random_count is now set to something between 1 and 1... so 1
etc etc...

Unit - Create 1 Hero_Array[(Random integer number between 1 and 7)]
that's all, you give each player a random hero in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7

Is this suppose to work then?

    • Map initialization

    • Set Total_Heroes = 7
    • Set Random_Count = 7
    • Set Hero_Array[1] = Druid of the Talon
    • Set Hero_Array[2] = Ugly Hunter
    • Set Hero_Array[3] = Shadow Caster
    • Set Hero_Array[4] = Secret Keeper
    • Set Hero_Array[5] = Wolf Rider
    • Set Hero_Array[6] = Tauren Chieftain
    • Set Hero_Array[7] = O.o Panda

• Random
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Equal to Random Hero

    • Hero - Give (Last created item) to (Last created unit)

    • Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Last created unit))
    • Player - Set (Owner of (Last created unit)) Current lumber to 0

And one more question: how do you make a hidden ability?

 

[YoshiRyu]

I think, but i don't know how the "unit sell unit" event works
(the "Set Total_Heroes = 7" line in the init trigger is useless)

And one more question: how do you make a hidden ability?

look the tutorial about the spellbook

 

[Creepingdeath]

Thanks, I got the spellbook thing going nicely

But I'm afraid that these triggers don't work yet.. I get the same hero every time ..

Maybe I should ask somewhere else?

FIXED!

I needed o uncheck the option "use fixed random seed" in the World Editor preferences pane.
