so far i made a dialog already that when you press escape i dialog will appear saying: "Add stats to:" and has three dialog buttons: "Strength", "Agility" and "Intelligence" and it actually works! when i click one of them.. it adds stats....BUT!!!! one i want it to have a payment like 1 stat add costs you 1 lumber and the problem is that there is no payment for the stats i dont know how i can make it with 1 stat is to 1 lumber please help me with this atleast tell me how

and one more problem (actually i've just think of this just right now):
how can i make the hero earn 5 lumber whenever he levels up? pls answer my questions! its turning me crazy

 

[light bolt30]

I'll try to help you from what I can remember for your second question..
EVENT - A unit levels up
CONDITION -
ACTION - Add 5lumber to owner of leveing unit current lumber

It should be something like that but currently I don't have warcraft 3 on this computer.

Well for the first you can have a condition so that it -1 lumber if they press esc and checks if they got 0 to stop the dialogue from popping up.

 

[knight_godryu]

well then thats my problem with the first one
i cant find the condition
but i'll try if i cant still find ill ask you again hehe

well maybe a picture would really help me

EDIT: found it! thnx btw and how can i +rep?? i actually dont know if youll teach me ill give you one ^_^

• ((Triggering player)'s Current lumber) Greater than or Equal to 5

It's an Integer Comparison (condition), Player - Player Property.

how can i make the hero earn 5 lumber whenever he levels up?

Trigger:
Event - Generic Unit Event - a 5 unit gains a level
Action - Player - Add Property - add 5 lumber to (owner of (triggering unit))

payment like 1 stat add costs you 1 lumber

To make them cost lumber:
Trigger:
Event - Dialog button is clicked
Condition - Integer Comparison - player property - ((Triggering player)'s Current lumber) Greater than or Equal to 1
Action - Player - Add Property - Add -1 lumber to (triggering players) current lumber
Action - Hero - Modify attribute - add 1 strength to (VariableHero)

VariableHero would need to be set at a previous time.
repeat the trigger for all 3 stats and buttons.

You will use this:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit sells a unit
• Conditions
  • ((Sold unit) is a Hero) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Set Hero[Player number of (Owner of (Sold unit))] = (Sold unit)

Hero is a Unit variable, with array ticked.
Then, when you are about to type a value within the array, scroll to Player - Player Number.

VariableHero would need to be set at a previous time.

Pharaoh_ explained that specific time, didn't think I would need to go that in depth

 

[knight_godryu]

uhhmm...why should i use the sold unit if i did not sell the hero?? dont get it pls explain

 

[XPQJ]

and i used the hero tavern selection

when the tavern sells the hero, even if it had no cost it is selling it. You can set a variable so that the hero can be referenced at a later time.

hy should i use the sold unit if i did not sell the hero?

you should have sold it if you used the tavern system.

 

[Dr Super Good]

I advise strongly against this sort of stat system unless stats value is greatly reduced otherwise you generally end up with agi heroes or such pumping damage related attributes to buggery and no points in other attributes.

Even in Diablo II that was one of its main faults. Everyone only got as much dex for block/gear and str for gear, everything else was in vit leaving none in energy.

Anyway to answer your question, you simply use in if statement to run code for only if the player has 1 or more stats avaialbe. The code run is simply remove 1 from available stats and add 1 to that heroes attribute. Else you just display a error message like "Not enough free points."

 

[knight_godryu]

yeah i already knew the dr super good....what im saying is the hero variable thing i still cant understand it much

 

[Killd0zer]

When you buy (or in your case choose) the hero from the Tavern, the trigger will "save" the unit in a variable... Then later you can refrence that variable, and it will load the saved unit.

Besides that idk what else you want to know...

 

[knight_godryu]

you mean it auto assigns the hero into a variable????

but all i know is the sell thing and i think that what youre saying is the "last sold unit"

am i right
