Realisitc wood system required

horiaonofrei · Jun 11, 2011

Good hi everybody!
Ok so, here is what i actually want to do, something complex, but realistic for my map.
A wood cutter cuts a tree down, and gets no wood.
The dead tree drops raw wood (item) that can go into the wood cutter house (building), and automatically become usefull wood (item that can be used to give 50 wood).

Another thing, is that, another type of tree would make a different raw wood that can become a different usefull wood (100 wood).
Hope you guys can help me with this one.

a headline for what you try to achieve:

requires triggering, at least GUI.
1. a trigger that fires when a tree dies.
2. two variable array which contain the list of tree type available and the amount of lumber given by that tree.
3. when the tree dies, it check what kind of tree that died, and spawn an item that worth a sum of lumber respective to point 2.

You didn't read the full tread, didn't you?
I said that the woodcutter gets no wood.

axleion · Jun 11, 2011

i believe you're the one who didn't understand fully about what i said.
so let me explain each point.

1. for the wood cutter unit, you need to make it able to attack/damage a tree, either via an ability that target/auto-target tree, or able to attack tree. this is because you can't use "Harvest" ability as they give instant bounty for the tree.

2. the trigger is there to detect when a tree died, you check if the tree died because your wood cutter or not.
if it is, your trigger is run.

3.

2. two variable array which contain the list of tree type available and the amount of lumber given by that tree.

is there because you want:

another type of tree would make a different raw wood that can become a different usefull wood (100 wood)

so your trigger will check what kind of tree that died, and return an item based on the tree type.

4. now another trigger, you check if a unit comes within range of your wood cutter house, check if that unit carry the item from point 3. if it is, remove the item from the unit, and in return give that unit another item that worth the lumber you specify based on item he bring.

Just allow the unit to attack trees?

horiaonofrei · Jun 11, 2011

Ugh....... I newer understanded the arrays and varables... dark_axl, can you show me a image with the variables or umh.... i dont know!
I simply dont know anything about array variables.

Ok sorry for double post, here is what i want about the saw mill.
The woodcutter gives the item to the sawmill, that has a ability that can transform the raw wood (transformed in sawmill inventory, and created/transformed in inventory) will become wood.

well then, let me try make an example map...
and considering the situation, i will make it in GUI this time.

EDIT
well the example map is finished.
it largely rely on Object Editor to set some value as using GUI for these is such task to accomplish.

and the trigger for those who might interested:

Nice system over there!
Yet, i thought i can configure it somehow to do this:
First, a planter plants a acorn (building), and transforms into a tree (destructible).
Yet your system fails to detect it, even if changed the setup's event (map init) to (every 2.00 second). So um, this thread is still not solved.

Brambleclaw · Jun 12, 2011

Hmm not exactly sure what your looking for. But here is an attachted map which a friend was making ages ago. You can use the system here and modify it to your needs. Well i hope it is what your asking for if not. Can you detail exactly what you want and i will create it.

-- The only difference with this system is that it only has 1 lumber item. Although that can easilly be edited. The Lumber stored trigger needs to be changed so action give 25 wood is replaced with create item Refined lumber at target unit

that's why its called example map, you need to expand it yourself to meet your need.
besides, why would you change the Setup's event to "Every 2.00 seconds"?

so here is my question updated,
1. does your 'acorn' building really have transforms into a tree (destructible) or just have a model of a tree?
2. why need to change the setup event into 2 seconds periodic?
is there another thing you would like to achieve?
3. and have you updated the database array in the setup trigger?

and for a notice, i've updated the sample map, cleaning leaks.

1.yes, transforms into a tree, via triggers of course. It something like this: event: a unit finishes building, condition unit type of triggering unit is Acorn. unit-remove acorn, destructible-create summer tree wall at the location of triggering unit.
2.Well, i thought that would fix,by founded the created destructible, if not..... i really dont know why.
3.erm, no, i am not a variable expert.

axleion · Jun 12, 2011

then i would suggest you to check this:
1. does the tree type of the 'acorn' building has been registered in the database?
#if not, then register it into the variable array, either by adding the index or change the preset value in 'Setup' trigger.

2. why you change the 'Setup' event into 2 seconds periodic?
as it is a setup which meant to run at map initialization for setting everything the system need to be working.
if you mean to allow the system to recognize that tree you "build", then i repeat:
all you need to do is register the tree type into the variable array at 'Setup' trigger.

LadyMalwil · Jun 12, 2011

i need that:
a ogre cuts a tree down, he take the tree to the town hall (with slow speed because of the tree), and get 50 wood.
and i need it atomatic, how can i do it??

Thanks!!!

Brambleclaw · Jun 15, 2011

The system which is on my previous post ladymalwil. All you do is change the units around and give the wood a Speed Aura (endurance aura) based which has a minus increase . So (Speed aura (-15%). Or simply add action set carryin units speed to x and when delivered add action set speed back to normal
