Selecting a random unit trigger in GUI

[Vincent]

Im having problems with a trgger
im trying to make a trigger that every 3 minutes of the game a random player controlled hero is either given an award or punishment.

like selects a random unit, that unit has a 35% chance of being given 200 gold and also has a 35% to kill the unit and a 46% chance to do nothing but slow the unit by 50% for 3 seconds.

I am mainly having a problem during the jass part of the trigger the call remove part that removes the variable unit from the variable itself.

Also a trigger that teleports all player controlled units.
for example there are 2 teams, each team has their respective base or regions with team 1 having region A and 2 having region B.
Team 1 goes to region 1 and of course 2 goes to B.

After the last person is defeated they will all be teleported to their previous positions.

Then the timer begins a new.

I think you can do the random by setting the units in a unit group first then do something like this.

• Player - Add 200 to (Owner of (Random unit from (Last created unit group))) Current gold

Maybe, I'm not sure. I hope this helps.

I have had the same problem but then with timers.... When I destroyed a timer after it was finished... I where not allowed to start the timer again because it is destroyed... maybe that has something to do with it? removing a memory leak in some conditions make your variable unusable?

EDIT: the teleport stuff is quite basic.... and easy to do...

you can make it something like this:

• Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to team[1]
    • Player Group - Add Player 2 (Blue) to team[1]
    • Player Group - Add Player 3 (Teal) to team[1]
    • Player Group - Add Player 4 (Purple) to team[1]
    • Player Group - Add Player 5 (Yellow) to team[1]
    • Player Group - Add Player 6 (Orange) to team[2]
    • Player Group - Add Player 7 (Green) to team[2]
    • Player Group - Add Player 8 (Pink) to team[2]
    • Player Group - Add Player 9 (Gray) to team[2]
    • Player Group - Add Player 10 (Light Blue) to team[2]

ANOTHER EDIT:

you can also make a random number system quite easy like this:

• some random stuff 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 180.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from (Units owned by (Random player from (All players)) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set random_number = (Random integer number between 1 and 118)
        • Set gold_chance = 35
        • Set kill_chance[1] = 36
        • Set kill_chance[2] = 71
        • Set slow_chance[1] = 72
        • Set slow_chance[2] = 118
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • random_number Greater than or equal to gold_chance
          • Then - Actions
            • add ... amount of gold to the owner of picked unit, or anything else....
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
                  • Conditions
                    • random_number Greater than or equal to kill_chance[1]
                    • random_number Less than or equal to kill_chance[2]
              • Then - Actions
                • kill the picked unit or whatever you want...
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
                      • Conditions
                        • random_number Greater than or equal to slow_chance[1]
                        • random_number Less than or equal to slow_chance[2]
                  • Then - Actions
                    • add some kind of slow aura whatever you want :)
                  • Else - Actions

so now the odds are: 35% to get some gold, 35% chance to get killed and 46% chance to get slow...

now I also made it so that you can not have 2 of the same things at once... for example: your unit get killed and you get 200 gold...
or your unit is slowed and you get 200 gold... etc.. I thought that this was the way you wanted it to be

Ok thanks, im gonna be trying this as soon as my WE is up. but i have a question, how do i do this on a continuous timer?

 

[Hashjie]

you can use timer expires event so that you can make a timer (not a one-shot timer) or you can let it stay like this... it is already somekind of continuous timer...

b.t.w. you where talking about: some random stuff 1 right?
