Rank system

[ikillforeyou]

Yeah, i'm making a map. And i need help with a script i've been working on. What it basically does, is when a unit kills another unit. it takes a random number between 1 and 3 and if it returns 1 then it adds a rank, aka, removes other rank abilities and adds the +rank level armor, +rank level dmg and +Ability that you can see that says what rank the unit is

This is what i have so far, i'm having trouble with the condition

• Rank system
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Random integer number between 1 and 3) Equal to 1
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rank 1 <-- Killing unit has ability
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Add Rank 2 to (Killing unit)
        • Unit - Add Rank 2 Armor to (Killing unit)
        • Unit - Add Rank 2 Dmg to (Killing unit)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rank 2 <-- Killing Unit has ability
          • Then - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Add Rank 3 to (Killing unit)
            • Unit - Add Rank 3 Armor to (Killing unit)
            • Unit - Add Rank 3 Dmg to (Killing unit)

Up to rank 10, and i dont want to do it with if/then/else's i'd rather do it in a loop, but i dont know how. Thanks. +Rep will be given to anyone who helps me

this is not working because you're not casting an ability.
If you want to verify if the unit has an ability put the condition:

• (Level of Rank 1 for Killing Unit) Equal to 1

if this is true that's because the unit has the ability. I never tried this but I guess it works
give it a try

 

[ikillforeyou]

Its not levels of one ability. its 10 different abilities

 

[HaniBon]

Bro, you cant use (Ability being cast) unless you have an event that is Unit - A Unit Starts the effect of an ability
or such.

 

[ikillforeyou]

OMG did no one read the request title? I just put that there because i didn't know what variable to put, and now everyone's like "Ability being cast doesn't work there!"

AND I KNOW! <sorry for losing my temper.>

 

[Wizardum]

we said that because you said above you are having trouble with the condition.
Anyway to that, store all abilities into indexed variables, then in a loop you verify if the unit has the ability_variable[IntegerA] and you add to him the ability_variable[integer A + 1] and don't forget to remove the ability_variable[integer A]

 

[ikillforeyou]

What variable is that? i cant seem to find it, what catagory is it?

 

[Wizardum]

create a variable of the ability type and then check the array box and you get an indexed variable.
Now create two more variables like the previous one.
now store in this three variables the abilities of the rank 1 you want to add to the killing unit and in the part in front of the name of variable that says index you put there 1. Now do this for the rest of the ranks but instead of typing 1 you type 2,3,4,5 etc etc etc until 10.

 

[ikillforeyou]

i know, but what variable do i use in the loop to see if a unit has a certain ability? Like If unit has ability: "AbilBLAHBLAHBLAH[Integer a] Remove abilBLAHBLAHBLAH[Integer a] add AbilBlahBlahBlah2[Integer a] + 1 AbilBlahBlahBlah3[Integer a] + 1 AbilBlahBlahBlah[Integer a] + 1

So whats the name of the variable for the "Does unit have ability Abilblahblahblah [A]?"

 

[Wizardum]

ah exactly you now have to check if the level of the ability Rank_System_1[Integer A] is equal to 1, if it is it means the unit has that ability and so it will do the actions

 

[Wizardum]

what? it increases the level of the unit to 7?
ah another thing I forgot to mention, in the end of the actions (the rank changing part) you have to put this action: Skip Remaining actions otherwise I think it will go up until rank 10

 

[ikillforeyou]

yeah, it just lags a bit, then gives him level 7 thing, <corporal> and then it doesn't give him ranks anymore

Ok, now they just go up to rank 2, then they stop getting ranks.

 

[Wizardum]

and does it still lags?

 

[mnib]

im not sure to it

 

[ikillforeyou]

no, doesn't lag anymore, it just the second the unit attacks, then it sets the rank to 2 then doesn't give ranks anymore

 

[Wizardum]

it's a chance system right?

 

[ikillforeyou]

well, i removed the chance variable just for testing.

 

[nailgun1]

it would be much simpler if you found a rank system (trust me theres a BUNCH) and just edited it to your needs.

 

[Wizardum]

strange it doesn't work. I have no idea why does that happen and I have no idea how I can help you.
PM me if you need further assistance

 

[ikillforeyou]

Fixed, it was only on the "Triggering unit" AKA they unit that dyeds rank, fixed. The units also needed to start off with the basic "Rank 1" Ability
