[Trigger] strange issue

PrisonLove · Aug 3, 2008

ok so i made these trigger so that when a unit enter a region a building will start constructing. for some reason only the trigger for the middle works and i dont know why can anyone figure it out?

mid point init

  - Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to TempPoint2
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)

does anybody know why only the first trigger is working and not the rest? all of the regions and such are correct because the unit is moved instantly, but the tower is never built

==EDIT==

I just did some testing and it only works if i create the builder for the owner of the triggering unit and i have no idea why. does anyone have any idea?

Your tower cost lumber/wood/food and you don't have enough maybe ?

PrisonLove · Aug 4, 2008

no thats not the reason. for some reason it works when the dummy unit is created for owner of triggering unit but when i create it for player 11 (dark green) it doesnt work. does anyone know why this would be?

Troll-Brain · Aug 4, 2008

The technology requirement in the object editor for the tower ?

PrisonLove · Aug 4, 2008

there are no tech requirements

Troll-Brain · Aug 4, 2008

I think i got it.
A 200 offset is a short distance, maybe the collision of the build is too big.
If you move the unit and create a dummy unit for the owner, then the triggering unit will move if the build can't be done, but if it's not the same player the order fails.

PrisonLove · Aug 4, 2008

that was a really good idea but that didnt work : ( i tried moving the unit 400 and then 800 both times it didnt work and the pathing is for a tower so it cant be that big. anyone know whats wrong?

Troll-Brain · Aug 4, 2008

try to offset the temppoint for the build.

PrisonLove · Aug 4, 2008

i dont think it has anything to do with the trigger because it works if you create the dummy for the owner of the triggering unit. there must be something wrong with dark green but i have no idea what it could be. does anyone know?

Bobo_The_Kodo · Aug 4, 2008

If it is only not working for the middle path, then the terrain probably has unbuildable pathing type.

PrisonLove · Aug 5, 2008

no thats not the case because the building does not require any specific terrain to be buildable. also now its not working period, not even in the middile. its very odd

Troll-Brain · Aug 5, 2008

You use the event an unit enter the playable map area maybe ?
Attach the map i'm curious to see this bug.

PrisonLove · Aug 5, 2008

the map is in my signature, just open it and look at the trigger folder that says "control points"

then youll notice that there are 4 disabled triggers for each of the three control points, the one that says "mid init" or something along those lines is what i need to get working, the others work. but make sure you disable the enabled ones before testing otherwise youll run into problems. so for an example you get

Enabled
Disabled
Disabled
Disabled
Enabled

you have to change it to

Disabled
Enabled
Enabled
Enabled
Enabled

I may have added an extra one in by accident

Troll-Brain · Aug 5, 2008

The order fails when the slot of the dummy unit owner is a computer, but not when it is a player or a neutral player.
Dunno why but that's good to know.

PrisonLove · Aug 5, 2008

so how should i fix this? any ideas?

Troll-Brain · Aug 5, 2008

Use a neutral player ?

PrisonLove · Aug 5, 2008

i thought about using a neutral player and then changing ownership when the tower completed but then units would not auto acquire the tower to destroy it before its built. and changing ownership during the process doesnt work because then the dummy unit stops building

Troll-Brain · Aug 5, 2008

Use the custom value for the dummy unit to know the final owner of the tower ?

PrisonLove · Aug 5, 2008

can you elaborate on that, im not sure what you mean but it sounds good lol

PrisonLove · Aug 5, 2008

thanks for the help but i know i can change the ownership after the tower has completed. i can do that but then i want unit to auto acquire the tower while its being built and that cant happen since its being built by neutral passive. i need to figure out why it doesnt work for the computer controlled characters, i feel like theres a conflicting trigger somewhere but im not sure. + rep for all the help man

Troll-Brain · Aug 5, 2008

you can use an other neutral and set the alliances.

PrisonLove · Aug 5, 2008

i suppose that could work but it would be hard since i would have 1 neutral to work with and 2 teams

What ?
There are 4 neutral i think it's enough, no ?

PrisonLove · Aug 6, 2008

no, there's only three neutral players, and im already using neutral passive and neutral hostile in the map, so that levaes only neutral victim and it will be a problem to constantly switch that alliance, especially if the two teams are trying to capture a control point at the same time. there has to be another trigger in there that's conflicting with the one that builds units, i need to find it.

There are 4 neutral.

JASS:

    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), GetPlayerName(Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_AGGRESSIVE)) )
    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), GetPlayerName(Player(bj_PLAYER_NEUTRAL_VICTIM)) )
    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), GetPlayerName(Player(bj_PLAYER_NEUTRAL_EXTRA)) )
    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), GetPlayerName(Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_PASSIVE)) )

And i had ever heard about other issues with using a computer slot.
Maybe you can fix then but if you don't need it , just why ?

PrisonLove · Aug 6, 2008

oh yes there's a neutral extra, thank you, this may just work yet.
