Simple Trigger Problem

[Aeroblyctos]

Hello.

How to make a system that when a hero picks a specific item an integer increases with one point. But does not increase if this item is already picked once before. There are many same types of items and totally in the map there are about 20 to 40 items that increases this integer. There are some other items too but they won't increase this integer.

Rep for the one who helps.

This is where hashtables come in handy once again.

When a unit acquires an item, you check the item type. Then you check whether there's some valuen , a boolean perhaps, saved for the item in a hashtable. If it is there, then the item has been picked up before. If it isn't save the value and increase the integer by one.

I can throw you a test map soon.

• Item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to I_Index, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to I_ItemType[(Integer A)]
          • Then - Actions
          • Else - Actions
            • Set I_Index = (I_Index + 1)
            • Set I_ItemType[I_Index] = (Item-type of (Item being manipulated))

Stores an item type variable and re-checks that same variable. Place all your actions in the 'Else' column, that is when the item you pick up is not registered already.

This system keys the boolean for the item picked. You can add more item types to the condition, just use OR.

Trigger

• Acquire Item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item

    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Claws of Attack +15

Okay, thanks GhostThruster, but I will use Maker's triggers.

I have some questions about your trigger. How do I take then "the number" to another trigger? I need that number to a multiboard that updates every second.

 

[Maker]

Let's say your hero is saved into a variable called Hero

• Custom script: set integer = LoadInteger(udg_Item_Hash , GetHandleId(udg_Hero) , StringHash("IntegerBonus") )

^That will do it. Then convert the integer to string and there you go.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 1 as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: Custom script: set integer = LoadInteger(udg_Item_Hash , GetHandleId(udg_Hero) , StringHash("IntegerBonus") )
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(integer))

Hmm, gives me an error.

ERROR: "Custom script: set integer = LoadInteger(udg_Item_Hash , GetHandleId(udg_Hero) , StringHash("IntegerBonus") )"

Why we have to do with jass?
Why can't we go to old sexy classic GUI that always works and everyone knows how things run?

 

[Maker]

You have an extra custom script there

You do have the integer variable created too, right?

I have JNGP open, and it doesn't have GUI hashtable functions, so I have to use custom scripts.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Oh yea, oh yea. I just copied it and didn't see that one coming. Just wait a moment and I'll fix it. As you can see, I'm not very much used to make JASS things(or any "high level triggers").

Oh noes, things don't go forward. Still bugs!

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 1 as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set integer = LoadInteger(udg_Item_Hash , GetHandleId(udg_Hero) , StringHash("IntegerBonus") )
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(integer))

ERROR: set integer = LoadInteger(udg_Item_Hash , GetHandleId(udg_Hero) , StringHash("IntegerBonus") )

 

[Maker]

set udg_integer = ...

My bad.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Still bugs.

• Custom script: set udg_integer = LoadInteger(udg_Item_Hash , GetHandleId(udg_Hero) , StringHash("IntegerBonus") )

 

[Maker]

Create Hero variable and set the unit to that.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Works now, but in-game gives me text "0". Also does this work if there are three heroes? They all can collect flowers. Oh, and there are actually other 12 boxes that also can pick flowers.

If this continues we'll be doing this test map next 5 years. :<

 

[Maker]

Yes, it works for any amount of heroes. Once an item is picked up, it will no longer give integer bonus if it is picked up again.

But what do you mean by "boxes that can pick up items"?

That doesn't really matter since the items are not tied to certain units. It does not matter who/what picks them up.

Let me load normal WE and I'll give you a GUI (MUI) test map.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Thanks, great!

I'll be waiting here.

 

[Maker]

There.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Thousand, if not not million thanks once again for the help and effort.
