Dude, this place is not to post random help requests. You either post your specific problem here or make a thread in the Requests or Project Recruitment section.

As "troll-ish" as avator's post may seem, I've got to agree with him. More details please (what do yuo expect to happen at the end of your td?)

 

[Sempiternus]

Just that you win.

If i posted this wrong then i apologize and ask that a mod move it to the right forum.

But how do i make you loose the map when the life counter hits 0?

Depends on how you have your td setup.. if you have lifes, how the level-system is setup.. other than that its just

• Game - Defeat playernumber with the message: put-a-defeatmessage-here

Edit: Post your life system here.. else i cant really help

An example of how it COULD look:

• Player 1 Dead
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • P1Lifes Less than or equal to 0
  • Actions
    • Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: You have leaked..
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

I dont know how to make the forum show trigger. But i use a integer for it.

Varible Name: Lives.

Varible Type: Intiger.

Initial Value: 100.

Hope that helped you to help me.

Every time a creep leaks, set it to its value -1 so it reduces by 1.
Then check if it is equal to 0, if so then defeat the players.

Dont use that trigger, it is horriadly unefficent. Do what I said and build the condition into the life lose trigger.

Running X triggers 2 times a second is stupid when trying to detect a change which can only happen when another event is fired.

 

[Sempiternus]

Lets see if i cant work out useing the forum... Trigger thing.

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
• Conditions
  • Lives Less than or equal to 0
• Actions
  • Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: - PWNED -
  • Game - Defeat Player 2 (Red) with the message: - PWNED -
  • Game - Defeat Player 3 (Red) with the message: - PWNED -
  • Game - Defeat Player 4 (Red) with the message: - PWNED -
  • Game - Defeat Player 5 (Red) with the message: - PWNED -
  • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

It's a team td. So i edited the trigger.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Do you have to check the conditions 10 times a second?

Like I said you only need to check the lives when the lives are changed.

 

[nevalopo]

Do you have to check the conditions 10 times a second?

Like I said you only need to check the lives when the lives are changed.

What is the diffrence? This doesnt cause any lagg or something like that so.. why bother changing?

 

[Sparten1one7]

If you have large amounts of triggers that all activate 10 times a second then eventually it will cause lag, so Dr Super Good is correct, you should only check when lives = 0 when the actual trigger deducts lives.

 

[Sempiternus]

Thanks eveyone.

Problem solved.
