[Trigger] Randomized Creature

The_wand_mirror · Mar 1, 2009

I tried to make a trigger so that when all players will be spawned one of them has a different unit than the others.

So i made a wisp and called it spawner, then set it so the spawner only spawns when players are ''equal to playing'' (So i also could test i with computers) and after spawning in the initialization the ''GetZombie'' trigger would pick random number between 1 and the(PlayerNumber) variable. The players are counted in the initialization...

It didn't work, nothing happend. So i added some text to make it confirm that he is counting the players and that works, when i test the map myself with 3 other computer player it says there are 4 players in the game. But whatever i believe the GetZombie trigger just doesn't work but that wouldn't make sense because i can't seem to find any mistake =/

It's just like it gets ignored.... very odd... and FRUSTRATING for a simple thing like this not to work.

isnt this supposed to be in the trigger section

?

Vicboy · Mar 1, 2009

You wasted too much time in the trigger...

The_wand_mirror · Mar 2, 2009

Well it's just a lot of if, then, else; but it should work i don't see what is wrong with it...

manstie · Mar 2, 2009

I think i might know?
Try putting all the "If/Then/Else Multiple"'s in the first "If/Then/Else Multiple
Oh, scratch that

That trigger is way too confusing...

Metov · Mar 2, 2009

arent they all the same unit?

but id do it without if statements. id use one unit-type array, and a unit group.

note that im doing this without the editor, so the actions wont always be exactly the same as written in the editor

For (Integer A = 1 to NumberOf DifferentZombies)
-Create 1 ZombieType[For Loop Integer A] for Neutral Passive at Center of TemporaryRegion
-Unit Group - Add Last Created Unit to ZombieGroup
If (HasZombie Equal to false)
- -For (Integer A = 1 to NumberOfPlayers)
  - -If ((Player Number (For Loop Integer A)) Status Equal to (Is Playing))
    - -Pick 1 Random Unit from ZombieGroup and Change Owner to Player Number(For Loop Integer A)
      - -Remove Picked Unit from ZombieGroup

something like that.

confusing? add every type of unit to a unit group, and randomly pick and remove units from it until everyone has a unit.

The_wand_mirror · Mar 4, 2009

Yeah i couldn't use that because i don't get it.

Element of Water · Mar 4, 2009

Why the hell have you done it that way? You should have an array of unit types to replace them with, your player unit variables should all be packed away in one nice array and you should do that whole trigger with loop...

Yixx · Mar 4, 2009

Ok, first: This could be done very easily,,
Do you get the principle of 'For each integer A from (Integer1) to (Integer2) '?
Lets say this:

Events
Conditions
Actions
- For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10,do (Actions)
  - Loop - Actions
    - Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

It means it will do every action under it, for the integer value from 1, then 2, then 3, until it is at the second integer number,,
In this case: 10 footman will be spawned,,

I think Player1, Player2, and all those are variables? If you make them an array and do:
Set Player[1] = Player1Wisp
Set Player[2] = Player2Wisp
And so on,,

This would be the result in short and i think it would work:

Events
Conditions
Actions
- For each (Integer A) from 1 to PlayerNumber, do (Actions)
  - Loop - Actions
    - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      - If - Conditions
        
        ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
      - Then - Actions
        
        Unit - Replace Player[(Integer A)] with a (Greater Zombie\Player) using The new unit's max life and mana
      - Else - Actions
        
        Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
    - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      - If - Conditions
        
        (Unit-type of Player[(Integer A)] Equal to (Greater Zombie\Player)
      - Then - Actions
        
        For each (Integer B) from 1 to PlayerNumber, do (Actions)
        
        Loop - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        (Integer A) Not equal to (Integer B)
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Unit - Replace Player[(Integer B)] with a (Rifleman\Player) using The new unit's max life and mana
        
        Else - Actions
      - Else - Actions

Get it? If not,, feel free to ask anything

The_wand_mirror · Mar 7, 2009

I have never done something with this (Integer A/B) thing. Explain?

deathdoorway · Mar 7, 2009

Interger A/B r the same as they r loops they do a certain amount of triggers. As you want to spawn a unit fro each player use this

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
  - Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Player((Integer A))) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

This will spawn for every player as the last # to the loop is 12. Basicly the 1 to ## is how many time the loop will run. Set it to any number you want. The frist number doesnt have to be set to 1 but any number as well. Its just the starting number the Loop will start at. There is also Integer variable which could be set to any variable that is an integer.

If you need anymore help just ask me k
