[Trigger] Control Points

[ndh]

Hey, I made a basic version of a Control Point, but i would like to improve it. I was wondering if anyone more experienced with triggering could make a trigger that does the following:

>When a player has the majority of units around a point, they will start to capture it passively just by standing by it (capture time = 15 seconds). This will not work on allied Points however (works on neutral passive).

>When starting to capture a point, the owner of the point will be warned that "Name of Control Point" is being captured by the enemy and will ping the location on the map.

>When captured, the new owner will get a message saying you have captured "Name of Control Point".

>If possible, would love some sort of visual as to the progress of capturing a point.

Thanks,
ndh

I hope this helps you

Was kind of hoping for the full thing, but thanks +rep

Was kind of hoping for the full thing, but thanks +rep

It's 01:00 AM here, so I'm kinda sleepy to think of everything right now

In the morning I'll look into it again with the details, but thats the basic idea.
Ill let you know.

 

[ndh]

Ok, thanks

 

[rulerofiron99]

So I decided to give it a go as well.

Features:
- Works for any number of control points (in theory)
- Captures if #enemies > #allies, based on a configurable capture rate variable
- Capture rate increases based on the number of units you have more than the other player
- Floating text indicator showing the current progress

EDIT: How many control points do you intend to have?

EDIT2: Whoops, there was a bug that caused CPs to be "recaptured" after capturing. Fixed, uploaded.

@rulerofireon99
You should reset the counter when there's no unit left in the control point.
It's quite unfair if you go to that control point and stops at 5/20.
After quite some times, you go to the control point again (provided that no other Player tamper with it), you will continue the counter starting from 5.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Thanks for the feedback, will update it soon.

EDIT: here's the fix, if the unit counts are the same, or there are no units, the point will slowly reset at 1/sec

 

[ndh]

Thanks!

 

[rulerofiron99]

Added:
- Messages for when a point is being captured, when a point is taken, when you capture a point (+ minimap pings)
- Visual capture indicator by way of a circle of floating texts coloured to the participating players

I applaud you sir, this is very well done : )
