TD Trigger help

[sc4n]

Hi guys, am now making a TD map which alraedy halfway, there are some problems that i cant think of how to make this trigger ....

First, Instead of losing life after the mobs reach the center, i put it a building to destroy. So in this case i want to make a leaderboard that updated the health of the building

Second, in the middle area (where the building stand) i will make a barrack where players can buy units to defend the area since middle area only have unbuild-able terrains (means no tower can be build there), and the units bought cant be controlled by the players, instead controlled by Neutral computer (the one own the building).


Thanks....
Waitin for the reply

you'll have to constantly update the leader board with a periodic trigger



triggers,

when player buys a unit
change the units owner to neutral player

Why not update the leaderboard when the building takes damage? Use the event:

• Unit - Specific unit takes damage

For the second one, i'd use units owned by the player who trains the units with 'locust' so he can't control them and set their acquisition range to somewhat.
This way the owning player still gains bounty by killing them.

or add the locust ability to them once they're sold

That's what i said

I thought you meant make them have the locust ability in the first place

whats the difference

Then you could have some of those units as creeps as well?

Second question answered i guess... havent tried that tho... but i could think of some way to make it works based on the replies here, but the frist question, i still cant think of a way to make it works... for both trigger nad variables.... for that more help needed....


THanks

well, you make the main building into a variable

and when (unit is attacked) then you set the variable to the life of the main building then change the text of the leader board to the variable.
