Trigger Help

[Crius]

Ok heres the situation.
I want to make a job where you take chicken, cook it, cut it, put it in soup, then serve it.
Each of these steps has a seperate item.
Step 1:take chicken-Chicken
Step 2:Cook it-Cooked Chicken
Step 3:Cut it-Cut Up Chicken
Step 4:Sever It-Chicken soup
How do I prevent the Chicken in step 1 from respawning before the entire process is complete?
I just lost about an hour of work trying to look at another map that crashed world editor. so, as you can imagine, patience is something I lack right now and I would like an answer to this ASAP.

1. make a chicken item
2. when the unit carrying the chicken comes close to the pot (unit enters region) the item dissapears for a few seconds (perhaps) later to be a cooked chicken (added to inventory).
3. Do same as 2 but with a cutting table.
4. same as 2

If you want it more realistic a chicken unit can drop the chicken item on death

Make a boolean variable that is checked (true) every time a chicken is killed, and is unchecked (false) when the chicken is finished.

Alright tyvm I'll give it a try now.

You must have a trigger that checks if there is a unit carrying that chicken Item.
You can set a global boolean variable for that.
It goes like this:

• DisablesChickenRespawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Chicken
  • Actions
    • Set Chicken = True

ChickenBoolean is just a variable, type boolean.
There must also be another trigger to turn the ChickenBoolean back to false.
Like:

• EnablesChickenRespawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Chicken
  • Actions
    • Set ChickenBoolean = False

Then in your chicken respawn trigger you must add the boolean condition
" if ChickenBoolean equal to False".

Ok I figured it out, I didn't do it exactly the way you did but, hey, thats the beauty of triggers.

Alright, now it won't let me add a quit job trigger for some reason.
When I type -quit job it doesn't do anything.
Heres what I got...
Events
Player- (Owner of Chef Job 0005 <gen>) types a chat message containing -quit job as an exact match
Actions
Unit-Change ownership of Chef Job 0005 <gen> to Neutral Passive and Change color
Item-Remove (Random item in Castle chicken spawn<gen>)
Item-Remove (Random item in Castle oven<gen>)
Item-Remove (Random item in Castle counter<gen>)
Item-Remove (Random item in Castle soup<gen>)
Item-Remove (Item carried by CastleKitchenItemRemove of type Chicken<gen>)
Item-Remove (Item carried by CastleKitchenItemRemove of type Chicken)
Item-Remove (Item carried by CastleKitchenItemRemove of type Chicken soup)
Item-Remove (Item carried by CastleKitchenItemRemove of type Cooked Chicken)
Item-Remove (Item carried by CastleKitchenItemRemove of type Cut Up Chicken)

Note:
CastleKitchenItemRemove is a unit variable set to the hero that takes the job.

You need to do [Events] [all players, like, player 1-12] types a chat message then add the condition
[condition] [Triggering player] = owner of Chef Job 0005 <gen>
Actions

 

[Crius]

Wierd.
You'd think it would work the other way too.
Ah well thx problem solved.

 

[ikillforeyou]

Well, the reason is, events are initialized at map init, so it would just register the event that the owner of the unit at map init did it, not the event when it fires.

 

[Crius]

Ok, now I'm trying to make it so that if someone picks it up who is not the chef then they will drop it.
I don't really have any idea of what the actions and conditions should be.

 

[ikillforeyou]

• Events
• Unit - A unit aquires an item
• Conditions
• Or (Any conditions are true)
  • Item type of (Item being manipulated) equal to BLAH1
  • Item type of (Item being manipulated) equal to BLAH2
  • Item type of (Item being manipulated) equal to BLAH3
• Owner of (Triggering unit) Not equal to (Owner of(Chef Job 0005 <gen> ))
• Actions
• Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Triggering Unit)

Actions

 

[Crius]

Tyvm, your a life saver.
But what is the Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Triggering Unit) under?
Edit:
