Round Issues

[Kwah]

I am working on my map "Lizard Survival"

And am having issues getting my rounds system to work.

If you solve the problem you will get in game credits. And +rep

Instead of posting a large amount of triggers I am going to post the map.

If you want the triggers just ask.

Thanks.

I'm going to check it out, i have lunch break in less than 1 hour

EDIT: I cannot find the problem, but i think it has something to do with the Paladins. Test the map with real players and let them select their hero themselves, it may not be something that's not working at all. tell me what problems it is that you are experiencing specifically, so that i don't have to look through your whole map.

Also, since the stampede-lizards comes into the shop area, make sure to make the hero choosers invurnerable too, since now they are being killed by the stampede.

Lastly, could you PM me when the map is finished? It seems like a lot of fun.

Umm, ya the lizards entering the shopping area is a small fix.

I'll PM you for sure. (add to "To do List")

Uhh, I have some problems with B-Net. (No-Host) so could someone please test it out with real players that they trust. (only has to be three)

I could do it, but that wouldn't be possible until the weekend. And it's not a certainty.

Thanks. I have also requested in the project forum.

First thought i got when i saw your round trigger, hawk: HELL MAN, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING AS LOOP?!

In other words: instead of 36 actions, use For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12 do (Actions so this part of trigger will be 9 times shorter!

• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12 do (Actions:)
    • Set TempPoint = (Random point in RoundStartTeleport <gen>)
    • Unit - Move HeroController[(Integer A)] instantly to TempPoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

And to your first question: mostly probably the cause why the round trigger isnt working is the following action:

• Wait until (NumberofLiveHeros Equal to or lower than 1), checking every 1.00 seconds

I didnt get the message after my tauren died, although it got teleported to the arena. I'd suggest creating a periodical trigger to check the number of heroes alive.

Some other suggestions so far:
- Instead of dialog-based round selecting, use chat-based selection, with option to enter whatever number you want (like -setrounds## where ## is any number).
- Make hero choosers invulnerable.
- If the running lizards are dummies, remove them when they enter the shopping area. It's kinda annoying to see animals running in front of your nose when you're shopping, dont you think?
- Set the aura effect to a variable so you can remove it when a hero dies.
- The arena 'floor' should be square. Looks nicer and simplifies many things.

Ohh,

Thanks for the loop point. I did not realize that setting interger A inside the loop = outsidfe the loop (that made no sense but I don't know how to explain better)

Hero-choosers invunerable = true
Runnig lizards are stampede.
-aura was there for testing purposes
-will make square.
-terrain = version one.
