[Trigger] Tree Stomping?

[Kimbo]

Alright, so im trying to make a unit able to crush (basically kill) trees when the unit steps/walks near them, i basically need this for a giant robot unit. I don't want them attacking the trees though.

Iv tried attempting this through triggers (but i suck and the triggers i did..well..are pathetic, no point posting) and iv tried using immolation, Iv set it to attacking trees only and strangely it still doesn't harm trees. Does nothing.

Is there anyway i can achieve this? Whether it be some separate dummy unit, triggers or another aura?

Any help would be appreciated, but mind you, im not very skilled at all with triggers or jass, so please be very basic on your answers so i can understand.

Thankyou.

Hm dunno why immolation is not working.
It works for me X_X

 

[Kimbo]

Iv set it to target trees.
Fiddled with the damage counters (lots of them): still doesnt work...

and left the damage counters alone and let the unit sit by a tree for awhile and it still didnt work.

well as iread about you and triggers why not make a trigger (like when to opendoor and such)

im not much of a triggerer so idont know if this is possible but why not find out


make a trigger where when unit gets near thevtree tree dies (like in the door when unit gets near the door it opens or closes) you get what im saying?

 

[Kimbo]

yes, but i would need regions for that.

 

[gromhellscream666]

hmm so you tryed immolation why not try flame strike ? srry if its a sorta newb answer

 

[Kimbo]

nonono.. i dont want the trees to die from a spell, i just want them to simply die when the unit walks near them..sorta like.. a giant in the forest...

 

[gromhellscream666]

i understand you dont want spells lol ill try to figure a trigger for you in a bit but for now ima suggest a dummy witha eat tree effect it might prolly work

but as i said ill open up the editor to see what i can do .

• Kill Trees
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • (MrRobot is alive) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set MrRobotPosition = (Position of MrRobot)
    • Destructible - Pick every destructible within 256.00 of MrRobotPosition and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MrRobotPosition)

Before all this Set MrRobot = *unit you want to kill trees*
there is no ability casting, nor attacking, trees are just gonna fall down

 

[Kimbo]

ah.. thnx, i ll test if it works and i hope it will, thankyou very much.

 

[HappyTauren]

well, it should, worked for me but anyway, you should set 256 to collison size of MrRobot, so if colllison is 64, and you set 256, then trees would die in huge range around your robot

 

[Kimbo]

so is:
MrRobotPosition a Pos variable
and MrRobot a boolean or unit type? sozz, i dont know much about handling variables.

 

[HappyTauren]

ok, heres map

 

[Kimbo]

ah, yes, yours seems alot cleaner since i had to fiddle with mine alot..but i got it to work. thnx alot HT!
(id give u rep, but it seems i cant till i rep some other people, ill give u rep though, dw)

Change the loop to something more like this

    Loop - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to Summer Tree Wall
            Then - Actions
                Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible)
            Else - Actions

If you dont add the if then it destroys all destructibles.

 

[HappyTauren]

yea, but if it can destroy trees, why cant it destroy crate? although you're right, that could be added, with "Multiple OR" , that lets you sellect more destructables than one.
