Trigger making help

Shikote007 · Apr 7, 2013

Im making a tavern that you can buy quests from and not just the regular guy with mark above head. So I need something that when you click the quest in the marketplace it gives you the quest and my current trigger is Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of |cffffcc00Basic Questgiver Skypper|r 0023 <gen>
which is just not good because when I get within that range I get the quest so can someone create a trigger like that so its like buying an item from a marketplace and it gives you the quest Ive been trying for a long time with give rep! :goblin_good_job:

deathismyfriend · Apr 7, 2013

make an ability based on channel for each of the quests u want the tavern to have. make sure you change the base order id for the channel abilities. then trigger each ability for the quest that you want it to do.

Shikote007 · Apr 7, 2013

Thank you that really helped +rep but it still didnt help me all the way it gave me an idea but I cant find where you got Quest 1 in(Ability being cast) Equal to Sphere
is what it gives me and IDK What to find please help me deathismyfriend

Conditions: Ability Comparison.

deathismyfriend · Apr 7, 2013

It's ability comparison like stated above then click on the option to the right and go down to quest 1

OmagnaT · Apr 7, 2013

Since this guy was using the unit comes within range event,
using Items instead of abilities would probably be more appropriate.

Would also work better for multiplayers

Binsu · Apr 7, 2013

I suggest making an item or an ability based on Channel and give them to the quest giver. Then, triggering them that when they are bought, give quest to the triggering unit.

My Suggestion :
First of all, use Tome of Agility (use a +0 agi ability) as your quests (instead of items) and check "Stats - Use Automatically When Acquired" box.
Here's the trigger :

Buy Quest
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
- Conditions
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to Tome of Agility
    - Then - Actions
      - Set Player = (Owner of (Buying unit))
      - Quest - Create a Required quest titled Title with the description Description, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp
      - Quest - Disable (Last created quest)
      - Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Player then
      - Quest - Enable (Last created quest)
      - Custom script: endif
    - Else - Actions

It just my suggestion and it hasn't be tested, someone can help check this trigger.

Vinz · Apr 7, 2013

It's already checked. Duh.
It will work. Guaranteed. You should also check if buying unit is a hero anyways -- you wouldn't want units accepting quests for you

Shikote007 · Apr 7, 2013

Wow thank you for all the awesome replies for starting the quest but how would you finish it would you have to buy the tome again or can I make it so you right click the marketplace

this is what I did and it doesnt do anything when I click on the Custom Item i made for the quest what am I doing wrong
then I got 3 scripting errors because of the 2 custom scrpt D:

use trigger tags plz like this

Events
- Unit - |cffffcc00Basic Questgiver Skypper|r 0023 <gen> Sells an item (from shop)
Conditions
Actions
- If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  - If - Conditions
    - (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to The basic spys must die!
  - Then - Actions
    - Set Player = (Owner of (Buying unit))
    - Quest - Create a Required quest titled The basic spys must... with the description I need you to kill ..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp
    - Quest - Disable (Last created quest)
    - Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Villager 017 then
    - Quest - Enable (Last created quest)
    - Custom script: endif
Else - Actions

also try debug messages to see what fires and what doesnt. that will narrow down the problem

OmagnaT · Apr 7, 2013

if GetLocalPlayer() == Villager 017 then

This is referencing a unit for a player, it should be

if GetLocalPlayer()==GetOwningPlayer(gg_trg_Villager_017) then

You need to replace Villager 017 with whatever the assigned variable is. It's gonna be something like gg_trg_Villager_017 (probably exactly that)

To find out, you can make a new trigger, use a GUI action that will reference this "Villager 017" then Convert the trigger to custom script

deathismyfriend · Apr 7, 2013

gg_unit_ not gg_trg_

Almia · Apr 8, 2013

This is how generated globals is written:
gg_unit_rawcodedataofunitype_id

Example:
gg_unit_hfoo_1
This is a generated global for a unit that has the type footman.
@RetardedHobo
You are doing it wrong

Shikote007 · Apr 8, 2013

what should the varable type be unit array 1? or unit or something else?

I mean raw code not unit classification.

Go to object editor > Ctrl + D to view raw codes

Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(gg_unit_Hero_var) then

do I do hero or the quest giver for the Hero_var part? and the

Custom script: endif

that one endif still gives me me a script error

Almia · Apr 8, 2013

You don't get what i mean.

There is no such thing as "Hero" raw code(perhaps you have one)

This are examples of the units/heroes and their rawcodes:
'hpea' = peasant
'hfoo' = footman
'hsor' = sorceress
'uloc' = locust unit
'Hmkg' = mountain king
'hblm' = blood mage
'Hpal' = paladin
'Ewar' = warden

OmagnaT · Apr 8, 2013

lols shit
I've never used a global placed unit so I wasn't sure

This will work

Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Player then

or, if you're not referencing that Player variable anywhere else, replace the Hero_var part with your hero following Almia's replies

the 2nd endif is fine, it's that 1st line throwing the errors

yo I think he gets it, sounds like he just wasn't sure WHICH unit was suppose to replace that part

Almia · Apr 8, 2013

Okay this might work.

Create a unit variable(any kind) then set its value to the generated global you want.

Example:
Set MyUnit = Hero 001 <gen>
then use it.

This is what I have so far and no script errors but it still doesnt give me a quest! it just buys it and doesnt do anything so what should I do please explain simpler because im not very good at this lol im kinda getting it Almia just a little more please

and how do you create a unit variable with your hero? because Im not seeing any heros Im seeing player 1 2 3 4...
I designed a variable named hVill for unit type and did the hero I wanted but that failed D:

Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_hVill then

deathismyfriend · Apr 9, 2013

Put messages in my killcounter?

deathismyfriend · Apr 9, 2013

just like what i suggested up above. messages just shows u what is working and what line the problem is.

Shikote007 · Apr 9, 2013

Where would I put the messages on my kill counter

Vinz · Apr 9, 2013

Anywhere. Try putting it outside on the 'Else'. Then when the boolean is still false, try killing any unit and see if the messages displays.

Shikote007 · Apr 10, 2013

I did it and it said what I wanted it too when I killed one but I dont think its working on the quest I just think its saying that because one of those specific units died
