Rebalancing Teams?

[EpiK_Phail]

Hi i've been trying to make a trigger to even out the teams on my map via swapping a leaver for a player
i've searched nonstop on the net to find one but found none

so i tried to wing it This is what i did so far,:

1st trigger to set player #'s
Set players
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Set Players[10] = Player 12 (Brown)
Set Players[9] = Player 11 (Dark Green)
Set Players[8] = Player 10 (Light Blue)
Set Players[7] = Player 9 (Gray)
Set Players[6] = Player 8 (Pink)
Set Players[5] = Player 6 (Orange)
Set Players[4] = Player 5 (Yellow)
Set Players[3] = Player 4 (Purple)
Set Players[2] = Player 3 (Teal)
Set Players[1] = Player 2 (Blue)
then i started the re balance trigger but thus far i am stumpped

Could you please put your trigger inside trigger tags? It makes it much easier to read.

[-HP-]

First of all, you are doing the events wrong. Substring(string, number, number) gives the string between the two numbers. So the first thing you have to do is change

• Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing (Substring(-switch, (Player number of Player 2 (Blue)), (Player number of Player 8 (Pink)))) as A substring

to

• Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing (-switch 2 8) as A substring

Second, instead of adding one event for each combination of player numbers, you can just use

• Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing (-switch) as A substring

and then use substring functions to get the numbers out of it, like this:

• Set player1 = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 7))))
• Set player2 = (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 9, 9))))

But that just improves the events. For the team switching:

• Player Group - Pick every player in (All allies of (Player(player1))) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player Group - Add (Picked player) to group1
• Player Group - Pick every player in (All allies of (Player(player2))) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player Group - Add (Picked player) to group2
• Player Group - Pick every player in group1 and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Make (Player(player1)) treat (Picked player) as an Enemy
    • Player - Make (Player(player2)) treat (Picked player) as an Ally with shared vision
• Player Group - Pick every player in group2 and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Player - Make (Player(player1)) treat (Picked player) as an Ally with shared vision
    • Player - Make (Player(player2)) treat (Picked player) as an Enemy

 

[EpiK_Phail]

any 1 got an answer?

 

[IaMfReNcH]

please post the map, it would be easier to view how you manage teams in other triggers.

 

[CrueIIntentions]

Well. Check if the player is playing. If it isnt go to the next player. Then have all other players on that team treat the new player as an ally with shared/not shared vision. You could also make it a periodic event so as no one has to type anything. If you need more of an explanation pm me. I could give you a hand with it. Im sorta doing the same thing on my map.

 

[EpiK_Phail]

no no no i mean that i have no idea how to start, that was just a wild guess, i havent tested it since is obviously incomplete . i wanted to make it so the chosen player actually <swaps forces> with the leaver

 

[CrueIIntentions]

You could make it a periodic event, or have the trigger fire when the player leaves

• Events
  • Player X (color) leaves the game
• Conditions
• Actions
  • //Your actions here.

You already have the array which sets the players. Keep it. Did you want a random player to switch or have a set player. If you want a random player add all players of one side to a group and select a random player from that group. You have to make sure that the alliances change too.

• Actions
• Player Group - Pick every player in (Team) and do (Player - Make (Picked player) treat ((NewHero) as an Ally with shared vision)
• Player Group - Pick every player in (OtherTeam) and do (Player - Make (Picked player) treat ((SwappingHero) as an Enemy)

Another Thing as well. What if there is an odd number of players? Just a side thought really. As well. Make sure you (if your going with the playerGroup idea) Remove the leaving player from the group.
