Random Pick

[Miloshactor]

1.Ok so i have a hero tavern in my map how do i make it so that after say 20 sec if you haven't chosen a hero it randomly picks 1 for you, thanks in advance

2.how do I make it so that the timers don't go all the way across the screen like at most i might have 5 timer windows up(for hero revival) how do i make them stack underneath each other instead of going across the screen. here is my trigger.

• Revive timer Sea Hunter
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Sea Hunter
  • Actions
    • Player - Set (Triggering player) Current gold to 750
    • Countdown Timer - Start Timer_2 as a One-shot timer that will expire in 180.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Sea Hunter
    • Set Timer_window2 = (Last created timer window)
    • Countdown Timer - Show Timer_window2
    • Wait 180.00 seconds
    • Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of Region 003 <gen>), Hide revival graphics
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy Timer_window2

make a variale, Unit Type with array called Heroes, then you set all the hero types, and then make an Event, Time - Elapsed time equal to 20 and then create 1 Heroes[Math - Random Number between 1-Maxheroes, 6 ?] for the players, but i would use a boolean to check if they got a hero or not.

Thanks you know the answer for my 2nd question?

 

[Slaydon]

thats impossible, but a Multiboard could stimulate it, you make a multiboard with 5 rows 2 colums, if you got 5 timers, please check a tutorial for it tho, and then make in column 2 make the timer, and update it to -1 every second, and set +1 more row for the multiboard and add the new timer.

[Slaydon]

couldn't get it to work could someone post a picture of the triggers needed?

Ill make a sample map and post triggers..

I couldnt recycle it, but if you make it like the NextWave trigger with another event and edit the time goes down, then you will achieve it... look at the nextwave trigger to see how it is done, do a trigger like that with all players if you dont find a simple way, im abit lazy now, i need to work on my own map , but you will get how it is done.. Basicly you make a number of every single action, so player ones hero is 1, player 2 is 2, and etc....

Thanks, you don't have to do this im sure i might firgure it out in a day or so lol but, mine is to revive a hero sort of thing couldn't i just make it when the hero dies they multiboard is created and then the 3 min timer for the hero starts so like this

Hero:3:00
Hero2:0:50
hero3:1:00
Ect

then when it finishs the heros name gets removed from the multibord, i have already made the timer could i just make the multiboard show the timer?
Hmm also i wouldn't know how to do that so if you could just tell me how to make the multiboard show the timer i made in my first post that'd be great if thats possiblr

 

[Slaydon]

you could make the column 3 string to [MinInteger]:[SecondInteger] and make a trigger run every 60 seconds, and then it will go down, and just set seconds to go 60- some way

 

[baassee]

basics of hero revival, not the best but hey it works ...

edit

taken from the helper editor site, credit them if you use it

 

[Miloshactor]

Baassee theres nothing in your post?
Also slaydon your triggers were for a wave mine are for at the end of that timer the hero comes back?

Also all i want now is for the timer i made in my first post to be in a multiboard isn't there away to do that?

 

[SilentDoom]

im not sure i need to know this too.

okay, if you want a hero to be selected for a player if they don't select one themselves after 20 seconds make a trigger that basically states:

Event: Time elapsed 20
Conditions: (none)
Action:
Loop for A from 1-12
Select all units for player [integer A] matching picked unit is [A hero]
(something that counts the units selected by player [integer A] matching is [a hero])
If (that count variable) > 0
then
Create unit (random unit from [Unit array] of heros) for player [integer A]
set player [integer A] property = player [integer A] property - (cost of hero)
else
Do nothing
endif

for the hero respawn timers use a multiboard with an arrayed variable for the different players and the times their heros die for.
