[Trigger] Rects as variables

[oXReapeRXo]

I'm trying to make a trigger that will cause generated peasant units to move from one rect to another. I have 9 rects, and I want it so when a unit enters a rect = peasant it will randomly choose which one to (order move) to.

I can make a unit generate at one and set it on a set course of rects that will loop back to the origional, but I wanted to make it more random. To simulate the "living city" feel.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

ok when you make the units set them to a group then pick a random unit from that group order it to move to another rect then remove the unit from the group.

how do i set it to randomly pick which rect to move too?

 

[b_a_d]

you can set the rects to a variable array then have a random number from 1-9 picked then send the unit there

Thats part of the problem, every time I try to make a variable I can't set the initial value to anything other then No Rect. In fact I can't even make variables that even show in the GUI for some reason.

 

[b_a_d]

when your making a variable you cant set array values like that you have to set them in the map int trigger

 

[oXReapeRXo]

so if i enter this trigger:

Events:
Map Install
Actions:
Set (variableA) to (RectA)

and do that for each rect they will be set to variables?

 

[b_a_d]

it would be

• set (variable)[array number] = rect

and thats it

Um... I'm going to work on this for a while. Its not working and I don't quite even know what to ask help on so yeah lol

Thanks any way, +rep for your troubles

Ok, first set the rects as b_a_d said.
You further need a point-variable named i.e. tmppointA and a integer-variable named i.e. int
Then do the following:

• Events
  • Unit - A Unit enters 'your rect'
• Conditions
  • (fill in if you want)
• Actions
  • Set int = Random Integer number between 0 and 8
  • If
    • int equal to 0
  • Then
    • Set tmppointA = Center of Rect[0]
    • Unit - Order (Entering Unit to move to tmppointA
  • Else
    • If
      • int equal to 1
    • Then
      • Set tmppointA = Center of Rect[0]
      • Unit - Order (Entering Unit to move to tmppointA
    • Else
      • and so on
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tmppointA)

Shall do it

rect[0]= a rect
rect[1]=. ..
rect[2]=...

a unit enters a rect, move unit to rect[random integer from 0 to #]

I'm compiling the whole shebang at the moment but I think I got this now. I freakin love THW, do y'all sell t-shirts?

Last thing to 'compile' would be that you can't give real rep before you posess 10 or more yourself
