[Trigger] Random Lever Action

Airandius · Oct 23, 2008

I'm in need of some help here.
I am making a map for the paired mapmaking contest and I took upon the role to make the puzzles.
Well one of the puzzles is a room with 6 levers (it's a destructable lolz).
One of these levers will open the gate to the next room. The other 5 will spawn monsters.

How do I randomize this at the start of the game. And don't say stuf like, use booleans and integers, I get that part. I just forgot how to do this. xD

As a final motivation I'll rep people that help. *sighs*

I would roll a random integer and if integer equals x disable that levers trigger and enable alternate trigger. To clarify Have a unit array set up in advance for the levers.

lever[1]-[6]

or disable that trigger and set that lever to a unit variable for the already enabled open trigger.

I'd make the triggers for you, but I lost my copy of warcraft and I reinstalled windows today.

Yeh, I knew I had to do that stuf, I just don't know what way I need to use it, I would really like it if somebody made a sample trigger. xD + rep thoughz

I'll try to make the triggers without my editor.

Events
time elapsed .04 secs
Conditions
Actions
Set Unit[1] = Unit Lever1
Set Unit[2] = Unit Lever2
Set Unit[3] = Unit Lever3
Set Unit[4] = Unit Lever4
Set Unit[5] = Unit Lever5
Set Unit[6] = Unit Lever6

Events
time elapsed .30 secs
Conditions
Actions
Set Integer = Random number between 1 and 6
Set Unit2 = Unit[Integer]
Turn Off Trigger (string (Lever + Integer))

to spawn unit use

Events
Unit is attacked
Conditions
Attacked Unit = Lever1
Action
Unit - Create Unit(Killer of World Editor)

Thats all typed so it may not be exact. Each lever may or may not need its own trigger depending on your triggering skills.

i have idea how to make it will post it after a while

Edit: this must work

you can change the chance to open the gate. You can add your monsters at else actions

First off: the lever is a destructible, not a unit.
Second off: the Destructible - (destructible) dies event would be much more efficient here, trigging when the lever is actually hit and switched.
Third off: no need to set the random integer to a number. Just roll Lever[(Random number between 1 and 6)] and do something.

my way looks easy for me to set the things, dunno i make things my own way and i don't like variables :wink:

Airandius · Oct 24, 2008

onix_noob has provided me with a good solution, while combining it with some bug fixes (because u used unit not destructable like raft_pl said).
I didn't test it yet but for now it looks like this:

I didn't test it yet but it should work, if not I can fix it myself xD. Thanks alot people. (I still have problems with an other trigger but I made a sepperate post for that. (It's about dialogs not working one way ven though it's the same way but without a cinematic, please check it out if u have any idea's)).
