rescue quest

[Just Another Dude]

How do i make a kind of rescue quest with an indicator on how many unit groups are rescued? Kinda like with the 3rd Blood Elf campaign in TFT with Kael's Lieutenants.

You mean the quest update message telling the player that he saved, for example, 1 out of 4 units?

You need to have an integer variable to track how many of the unit groups were saved. Once a unit group is saved, add 1 to the value of that variable:

• Set <IntegerVariable> = (<IntegerVariable> + 1) // use Set Variable action

As for the message/quest log update, the easiest way to do it would be to use a bunch of If/Then/Else blocks, where depending on the value of the integer variable you have different messages and quest requirement updates:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • <IntegerVariable Equal> to <Value>
  • Then - Actions
    • Quest - Change the description of <QuestRequirementVariable> to <Updated Text>
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: <Quest Message>
  • Else - Actions

Obviously you have to have your quest requirement bound to an appropriate variable and the final If/Then/Else block (one where all units are saved) should be different to reflect that the quest was completed - i.e. instead of just updating the description and sending a quest message, it should also complete the quest and so on.

I'll just add that you can make unit rescuable via the trigger action "Unit - Make rescuable". As arguments you set which unit shall be rescuable and by which player (group) can it be rescued.
A rescued unit will fire a generic unit event "A unit is rescued" - in this case the (Triggering unit) is the rescued unit, so you can use the (Triggering unit) for some conditions (like unit-type comparison, etc.)

• Unit - Make Your_unit Rescuable by Player Group - Player 1 (Red)

• Rescue
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is rescued
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • -------- execute quest actions --------
