Search for Illidan triggers?

[ghidorah5464]

in the search for illidan campaign in frozen throne the units are automatically trained and go into battle on their own. are there triggers that can make that happen on a custom map?

 

[Chewii]

You mean the cinematic?

EDIT: Btw welcome to the hive!

 

[ghidorah5464]

nah i mean in the actual level when the naga and blood elf units are automatically being trained and going out to fight the night elves, which are doing the same.

and thanks ^_^

 

[Chewii]

God i can't remember. Do you mean that they're ordered to attack without you're ordering them to attack?

 

[Ramza]

It's an AI script.

If your custom map uses the standard races, you can run these scripts by using Melee triggers. If not, you'll have to import a custom AI script.
You should read some tutorials about that.

 

[Garfield1337]

You can also trigger it. Spawn units and order them to auto-attack the enemy base. If you mean the level when Kael and Vashj rescue Illidan from cage.

 

[ghidorah5464]

@chewie: yeah that's what i meant

@garfield: thanks but i want them to automatically spawn as well without me having to do anything.

 

[Ramza]

Yes, trigger it. Every XX seconds of the game you create some units, and order them to attack-move to a region.

Hey I have a thread which it happens me a bug with that trigger issue, please go check it.. please

 

[Garfield1337]

It would be something like this:

• Spawn
  • Events
    • Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set PointVariable[0] = (Center of Your base <gen>)
    • Set PointVariable[1] = (Center of Enemy Base <gen>)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at PointVariable[0] facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To PointVariable[1]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointVariable[0])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointVariable[1])

 

[Akhetaton]

• Respawn
  • Events
    • Time - Every 12.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set XPoint = (Position of Guard Tower 0021 <gen>)
    • Set YPoint = (Random point in Right Top <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 2 Soldier for Player 10 (Light Blue) at XPoint facing (Y of YPoint) degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To YPoint
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 10 (Light Blue) of type UnitAttacking) and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack-Move To YPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_XPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_YPoint)

mine are like this but I have 2 ways (like in dota there are 3), one works but other not, please help... sry to spam here... but i rly want it fast

 

[Garfield1337]

It's because you do

• Unit - Create 2 Soldier for Player 10 (Light Blue) at XPoint facing (Y of YPoint) degrees
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To YPoint

It orders the second unit to attack-move.
Make it like this:

• Unit - Create 1 Soldier for Player 10 (Light Blue) at XPoint facing (Y of YPoint) degrees
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To YPoint
• Unit - Create 1 Soldier for Player 10 (Light Blue) at XPoint facing (Y of YPoint) degrees
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To YPoint

[ghidorah5464]

ok seems doable. thanks a ton

 

[ghidorah5464]

wait when it says soldier does that mean any random unit?

 

[Ramza]

Yeah, those triggers work for any unit (except if their movement speed is 0 or if they're paused, of course).

It's because you do

• Unit - Create 2 Soldier for Player 10 (Light Blue) at XPoint facing (Y of YPoint) degrees
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To YPoint

It orders the second unit to attack-move.
Make it like this:

• Unit - Create 1 Soldier for Player 10 (Light Blue) at XPoint facing (Y of YPoint) degrees
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To YPoint
• Unit - Create 1 Soldier for Player 10 (Light Blue) at XPoint facing (Y of YPoint) degrees
• Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack-Move To YPoint

Or order the last created Unit Group to attack-move. Works as well.

 

[Chewii]

when he says soldier there he means the unit you want to create.

 

[Akhetaton]

When I meant soldier there I edited the Footman name to Soldier, that's all ; )
it works to every unit that has at least 1 at movement speed, like Ramza says.
