[Trigger] Simple Difficulty System bug

[Arad MNK]

(Yes I sometimes use GUI too)

This is an extremely simple trigger I've made to use in my ORPG map, that uses upgrades and handicap to raise the difficulty of creeps in harmony with the number of players playing.

• Difficulty System
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Player[(Integer A)] slot status) Equal to (==) Is playing
            • (Player[(Integer A)] controller) Not equal to (!=) None
            • Comment - I know a comment in a condition is dumb
            • Comment - The (Player[(Integer A)] controller) Not equal to (!=) None checks for the computer players too, the map uses ORPG AI.
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Number_of_Players = (Number_of_Players + 1)
          • Else - Actions
    • Set Difficulty = (Real(Number_of_Players))
    • Player - Set Neutral Hostile handicap to (100.00 x Difficulty)%
    • Player - Set the current research level of Attack bonus for creeps to (Integer(Difficulty)) for Neutral Hostile
    • Custom script: call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

(I Know, IntegerA)

Now the problem:
The creep's maximum hp change to an extremely low max hp i.e normal OE hp is 500, after using this: 5. Is this a problem with the handicap?

For me, the If statement failed to run, thus making the "Number_of_Players" variable remained 0. That's makes the Handicap set to 1%.
Did you try to BJDebug or Gametext at the If statement? I maybe wrong but that's all I can do. Only I can think is the condition might cause it.

 

[Arad MNK]

You are right. Neither of the conditions run. NEITHER. Any ideas? Without the conditions, how am I going to make this work?

If you're only identifying which is the Player is being played by a User, not Computer, try this if it works.

• Conditions
  • ((Player((Integer A))) controller) Equal to User
  • ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing

I'm not. The map counts the computer players as an AI, so they should count too.
+ "((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing" didn't work last time.

try 0.00sec of the game instead of map initialization

Maybe this can help you!

• Set Number_of_Players = ((Number of players in (All players controlled by a User player)) + (Number of players in (All players controlled by a Computer player)))

It indeed did. +rep you all.
