[Trigger] Splitting up a player's assets

[13ack.Stab]

Heyas, folks.

I'm a little bit stumped on how to do this correctly:

Let's say that a player has just left in a TD. I want to split his assets up (gold, towers, etc.) up between the remaining players.

This is what I've got so far:

• Cleanup
  • Events
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue)'s Food used becomes Equal to 0.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- When Light Blue's food reaches zero (all of the attacking monsters are dead), the level is increased. --------
    • Set currentLevel = (currentLevel + 1)
    • -------- Rewards the players for surviving. --------
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Player - Add (5 + (currentLevel x 2)) to (Picked player) Current gold)
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Allies_Red_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked player) slot status) Equal to (==) Has left the game
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Units_Leaver_Group = (Units owned by (Picked player))
            • Set playerGold[(Player number of (Picked player))] = ((Player((Player number of (Picked player)))) Current gold)
            • Set totalPlayers = (Number of players in (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to (==) User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to (==) Is playing))))
            • -------- Resets the leaving player's multiboard information. --------
            • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row boardRow[(Player number of (Picked player))] to |cff808080Disconnec...
            • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 2, row boardRow[(Player number of (Picked player))] to 0
            • Multiboard - Set the text for (Last created multiboard) item in column 3, row boardRow[(Player number of (Picked player))] to 0
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Units_Leaver_Group and do (Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to (Random player from Allies_Red_Group) and Change color)
            • -------- If a player has left, his assets are split up between the remaining players. --------
              • Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer A) from 1 to totalPlayers, 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
                    • Then - Actions
                      • -------- The leaving player's gold is split evenly between the remaining players. --------
                      • Player - Add (playerGold[(Player number of (Picked player))] / totalPlayers) to (Player((Integer A))) Current gold
                        • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                          • If - Conditions
                            • (Count structures controlled by (Picked player) (Include incomplete structures)) Greater than (>) 0
                          • Then - Actions
                            • -------- If the leaving player still has towers, they are split up as evenly as possible between the remaining players. --------
                            • Unit - Change ownership of (Random unit from (Units owned by (Picked player))) to (Player((Integer A))) and Change color
                          • Else - Actions
                            • Do nothing
                    • Else - Actions
                      • Do nothing
            • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Units_Leaver_Group)
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing

I believe that the gold is being split between the remaining players correctly. However, I am a bit stumped as to how I should go about splitting up the leaving player's towers.

• Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Count structures controlled by (Picked player) (Include incomplete structures)) Greater than (>) 0
  • Then - Actions
    • -------- If the leaving player still has towers, they are split up as evenly as possible between the remaining players. --------
    • Unit - Change ownership of (Random unit from (Units owned by (Picked player))) to (Player((Integer A))) and Change color
  • Else - Actions
    • Do nothing

This is my train of thought: I thought that I could use an integer condition to see if the leaving player has towers left. If he does, then player[Integer A] would get one random tower from the leaving player. However, I can't remember whether the Loop from earlier will prevent other players from getting a turn at recieving towers; instead, it might just give the first player to go through the Loop a tower each time it loops until there are no more towers left.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your time.

loop through all the the units, change ownership of each in turn, eg you have players 1-6, player 6 leaves, loop through units, add first to player 1, add second to player three, add third to player four, add fourth to player five, repeat until you've got through all of the units.

This is what I came up with. What do you think?

• Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer A) from 1 to totalPlayers, 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
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- The leaving player's gold is split evenly between the remaining players. --------
        • Player - Add (playerGold[(Player number of (Picked player))] / totalPlayers) to (Player((Integer A))) Current gold
          • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Count structures controlled by (Picked player) (Include incomplete structures)) Greater than (>) 0
            • Then - Actions
              • Set leavingGroup = (Units owned by (Picked player) matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to (==) True))
              • Set totalTowers[((Player number of (Picked player)) - 1)] = (Number of units in leavingGroup)
                • Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer B) from 1 to totalTowers[((Player number of (Picked player)) - 1)], do (Actions)
                  • Loop - Actions
                    • -------- This loops through all of the leaving player's towers and assigns each to a player, going through the players in order, checking to see if they are still playing. --------
                      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                        • If - Conditions
                          • ((Player(playerNumber)) slot status) Equal to (==) Is playing
                        • Then - Actions
                          • Unit - Change ownership of (Random unit from leavingGroup) to (Player(playerNumber)) and Change color
                        • Else - Actions
                          • Do nothing
                    • Set playerNumber = (playerNumber + 1)
                    • If (playerNumber Greater than (>) 7) then do (Set playerNumber = 1) else do (Do nothing)
              • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_leavingGroup)
            • Else - Actions
              • Do nothing
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

I think that way will just give everything to the first player in the end. Have you tested it?

Why not just destroy the towers and reduce the number of creeps / strengths of creeps?

 

[13ack.Stab]

I'm not ready to take this online yet, and I'd need three computers to test it over LAN. Although, that gives me an idea. I currently have the game stop spawning creatures in lanes without an active player. Instead of giving the actual towers to someone (their only use would be to sell them...), I might just be able to get the value of all the towers and divide it up between the remaining players.

I think you should finish the map to the stage it is actually playable online, then deal with rebalancing the game after players leave, really. Making the actual game is more important.
