Respawn problem...

ZiGOR · Aug 13, 2013

Hi everyone! Could someone help me with a revive trigger?
In my map if a Hero dies - the grave appears on his place and expires in 30 seconds.
If hero is resurrected while the grave stands - he will not respawn on the start location, else he'll respawn on the start location)))

I have a problem triggering it... I used an Countdown timer but when my hero dies - the game crashes, so I removed them and made it with Wait 30 seconds and check conditions... but I know that it is not correct so I'm asking you for help! :ogre_rage:

Here is how my trigger looks now:

Grave
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
  - ((Triggering unit) belongs to an enemy of Neutral Hostile) Equal to True
  - ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
- Actions
  - Unit - Create 1 Death Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
  - Unit - Add a 30.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  - Wait 30.00 seconds
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - ((Triggering unit) is alive) Equal to False
      - ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
    - Then - Actions
      - Hero - Instantly revive (Triggering unit) at (Player 1 (Red) start location), Show revival graphics
    - Else - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        ((Triggering unit) is alive) Equal to False
        
        ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 7 (Green)) Equal to True
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Hero - Instantly revive (Triggering unit) at (Player 7 (Green) start location), Show revival graphics
        
        Else - Actions

Trigger looks fine to but a tip, store Last Created Unit into a variable for efficiency maybe.

Even if I'll store it - it will not help the second hero to respawn if two heroes will die at the same moment(((

this is the dark side of this freaking Waits(((( :ogre_rage:

Well, you can try searching for Revive System here. They would greatly save time and effort.

Alternatively, use 2 triggers, make this action on this trigger :

Trigger - Add Your Second Trigger the event Last Created Unit Dies

Before that, make a second trigger, copy and paste the ITE, and remove the wait and then add the event on that trigger.

Could you make an example please? Because I can hardly imagine how it will work...
P.S. Hero can be resurrected by Resurrestion spell that will be casted on him so it is not so easy)

Vinz · Aug 14, 2013

Nope nope nope. Do not put any conditions. Put everything into if/then/elses so you could check if it's the hero or the grave dying. That way, you could do without.. Waits.

This is not MUI or MPI.
Your player number is bein overwritten every time a new unit dies.

Your options are to index using indexed arrays.
Use timers for each units.
Use local variables with waits.

Indexing is your best option. Check out the chapter how to index in my tutorial things a GUIer should know.

When unit does equal to hero you index. Use counter integer to count time passed then revive unit. Then de-index.

Vinz · Aug 15, 2013

^ He didn't have to .. index or periodic that.

Just use the instant trigger I mentioned.

Instant trigger doesn't give a respawn time for heroes. It revives them when they die. Which is like an ankh.

Xonok · Aug 15, 2013

You can make an array for gravestones.
Then when a hero dies you save the gravestone and link it to the hero.
Then, make the gravestone have negative life regeneration and low life(30 health and -1 reg = 30 seconds to revive)
When a gravestone dies you do whatever you want with the according hero.

Vinz · Aug 15, 2013

But although my trigger is instant, it uses expiration timer of dummies, and I doubt his map has more than one hero per player. It would really save time..

AND IF ALLIED HERO USES "RESURRECTION" SPELL - DUMMY DIES AND TRIGGER WORKS!!! GENIOUS!!!! :ogre_haosis:

Vinz · Aug 15, 2013

The rest of the trigger will work, but your hero will not revive since he's already alive. If you want to pan camera and encounter unwanted panning, you can add a condition if the hero was alive when the dummy dies. Pretty simple from my point of view.

Let's try not to add sarcasm to our words, shall we not?

Oe more question: how to store a hero variable for every player? Is far as I understood - Temp_Unit[Player_Number] doesn't fit...?

...Well, I stored every hero for every players to an independent variables...

Are there more than one heroes per player?

That is too long.

Didn't you read DIMF's tutorial? There was a topic about nested ITEs.

Anyways, how do your heroes actually enter the map? Taverns? Hero Selection Area?
From Tavern, you could check Unit-Type of Sold Unit and do this;

Set Hero[Player Number of (Triggering Player)] = Sold Unit

From Hero Selection Area,

Unit - Create 1 Unit-Type of Sold Unit at Point
Set Hero[Player Number of (Triggering Player)] = Last Created Unit

Didn't you read DIMF's tutorial? There was a topic about nested ITEs.

Anyways, how do your heroes actually enter the map? Taverns? Hero Selection Area?

Not quite, there is a hero-dummy on the Tavern-shop that sells items-heroes. when hero-dummy buys an item-hero - hero-dummy removes from the game and creates the chosen hero at start location

Set Hero[Player Number of (Triggering Player)] = Last Created Unit

I'm not sure that it will store all needed information

it have to store the information about the picked hero for all game time...

Here is how my pick system works (this is for 1 character):

Pick Demon Fighter
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
- Conditions
  - (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to Demon Fighter
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - ((Owner of (Buying unit)) is an ally of Player 7 (Green)) Equal to True
    - Then - Actions
      - Unit - Remove (Buying unit) from the game
      - Unit - Create 1 Demon Fighter for (Owner of (Buying unit)) at (Player 7 (Green) start location) facing Default building facing degrees
      - Hero - Create War Pick and give it to (Last created unit)
      - Selection - Select (Last created unit) for (Owner of (Buying unit))
      - Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Buying unit)) to (Player 7 (Green) start location) over 0.00 seconds
    - Else - Actions

I know that.

You can actually make everything generic. Remove that condition in the ITE. Set the Owner of Buying Unit Start Location to a variable. It can run for every player now.

Respawn problem...
