Shop problem

[Karzama]

Hi

I've got some player controlled shops for my map but the problem is that they can be accessed by other players. They can be activated so far that other players can even use the "Next Page" ability that they have, even enemies can access them! Any ideas?

Should this be treated like the Voodoo Lounge or should it be limited to the owner only?

 

[Solu9]

Are the shops classified as Neutral in the object manager?

 

[Karzama]

It's meant to be like a Voodoo Lounge

It's meant to be like a Voodoo Lounge

So let's say you copy-pasted this building and it's still accessible to enemy players?

 

[Karzama]

It was originally based on a Town Hall but I copied all of the abilities from the Arcane Vault (or at least I'm pretty damn sure I did).

 

[Solu9]

Are the players who can use the shop allied?

 

[Karzama]

I haven't tried having an ally yet but enemies could access them

 

[Solu9]

The only thing I can come up with then is that the buildings classification is Neutral or you somehow have set the players to treat each other as allies.

Well, Just take the easy rout. Delete it base the new one of on of the 4 races buildings and then you are set.

Figured it out. I had added "Select Hero" to the merchants which then enabled all players to access them. Now only the owner and allies can use them. On a different note my merchants are actually units that can't move (purely because I wanted to angle them differently). Problem here is that if I select my units via making a box it also selects the merchant too. Any solution to that one?

If your buildings are preplaced and these building can't be destroyed or built, you can simply set the "Is a building" to False, rotate the unit to your needs, and then set the "Is a building" to True again.
Tip of the day!

I tried it and it worked until I realized they had no shadows and then added a building shadow and their angle then screwed up! I'm guessing you can't add building shadows to them without screwing up the rotation?

 

[Solu9]

I'm not sure. Does it not show ingame?
I find it strange that it doesn't work to be honest.
Does it still show the unit shadow?

 

[Karzama]

I made it be classed as a structure and then tested it and it was still facing the correct angle but didn't show the unit shadow. So I added a building shadow and tested it again and then it was facing the wrong direction, but did have the building shadow.

 

[Solu9]

Hmm. I'm not sure what to do with that other that I can tell that every time you change something in the object manager regarding that unit, you must redo the angeling.

 

[Karzama]

Hmm I might be able to live with no shadows for them... I'll have a play around.
