Trigger for giving resources to allies.

Shoto · Nov 8, 2011

So, i want a trigger that, every minute, checks if any players has [building]. If there is a player that control atleast one [building], a fourth of his gold and lumber is given to his ally.
You can only have one ally in my game mode. any player on the map can become allied with anyone.

so, if the picked player controls atleast one [building] AND has an ally, a fourth of his gold and lumber is removed, and those resources are given to the ally.

And if this player has more than one building also fourth of gold and lumber will be transferred to his ally?

Event - Every 60 minutes of game time
Actions
- Player Group - Pick players in All players
  - if Ally[Player number of picked player] not equal to null then
    - Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    - set integer = Number of units in units owned by picked player matching (matching unit) is alive and (matching unit) is a building
      - if integer > 0 then
        
        Player - Add Current gold of picked player / 4 to Ally[Player number of picked player] current gold
        
        Player - Add Current lumber of picked player / 4 to Ally[Player number of picked player] current lumber

Instead of All players, you could pick players in a custom player group. Add all players you want to check into that group at map initialization.

Ally is a player array variable. When a player loses an ally, do this:

Custom script: set udg_Ally[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())] = null

GetTriggerPlayer = Triggering player. If your trigger doesn't have triggering player, replace it with something else.

can't find the condition "ally[player number of picked player] not equal to null".

Maker · Nov 9, 2011

Oh yeah, player can't be compared to null in GUI. Well, you could set the player to be initially neutral hostile for example. Then compare not equal to neutral hostile. When a player loses an ally, set the ally to neutral hostile.

Shoto · Nov 10, 2011

will that not make the player lose control over his units? what if more than one player is neutral hostile at once?

Maker · Nov 10, 2011

You can't make a player be neutral hostile. What I mean is that you set the variable's value to neutral hostile.

If the variable's value is neutral hostile, consider it as being null. The player doesn't have an ally.

When a player gets an ally, set the value to be the player.

ah. i see. i'll try.

So, will this work?
Doesn't it screw up when there is four players, player A and B is allied, and player C and D is allied?

I know there are leaks, but lets ignore them for now.

In the second trigger, the custom script should be right before the Set numer = ...

What is the Player Group pick supposed to do in the first trigger?

Shoto · Nov 11, 2011

okay, will fix that.

it's supposed to break a previous alliance. as if you have an ally and a newly built "meat cage" is destroyed, the previous ally is now your enemy.
it does work, right?

Shoto · Nov 13, 2011

bump.

Maker · Nov 13, 2011

I think it should ork if you change
Ally[(Player number of (Picked player))] Not equal to Neutral Hostile
->
Ally[(Player number of (Picked player))] Equal to Owner of dying unit

Shoto · Nov 13, 2011

okay, thanks

Shoto · Nov 15, 2011

i can't get one thing to work. when you become allied with someone else, you are still allied with your previous ally. i don't want this to happen.

i tried changing the trigger to this, but it still doesn't work.

Is it because i am trying the trigger out with bots or is it something else?

Maker · Nov 15, 2011

You have the old ally stored in a variable. Make the player treat the ally as an enemy, and vise verca. Do this before setting the new ally.
