[Solved] Trigger Wouldn't Turn on.

[Uklabokalala]

In a map set in the Napoleonic Era that I am making, you choose Victory Point limit, Battle Size, and Gamemode; then if you win the gamemode you get a victory point (VP), but once you get the right amount of VP's it doesn't activate the trigger which allows you to win. I don't understand it. I posted the map to make sense and so you can see the triggers.

 

[pOke]

Can you post the problem triggers?

 

[Uklabokalala]

Can you post the problem triggers?

I don't really know, it might be another trigger messing it up. I've searched but I can't find a problem.

 

[pOke]

Okay, well upon very slight inspection, you really need to change how you have this set up. You're leaking groups and points every .01 seconds and even if you were to fix those, creating that many groups that often is not needed and is going to cause significant fps/lag issues.

How should I do the in-game victory check and the real victory check then?

 

[pOke]

Just so I am clear, explain how victory ought to be achieved.

I only looked for a second and am on mobile now, but I recall its when a team runs out of units?

But just briefly describe so there is no confusion.

 

[Uklabokalala]

I'm on mobile too, but you choose how many VPs until you win. Then you play. If you win your game mode, you get a VP. One the number of VPs you chose at the beginning is met, you win the entire game.

 

[pOke]

How do you win a VP?
Its when all a player's units are dead right?

 

[Uklabokalala]

In this case yes

 

[pOke]

So probably the best way to do it is going to be add all the units in a players army to a unit group.

Then when a unit dies, check which group it was in, remove it from that group, then loop through the whole group counting each unit, then check to see if the number of units in the group is 0. If so, that player is defeated and whomever should win gets the VP

 

[Uklabokalala]

Okay, that should work. What about the trigger not working?

 

[pOke]

Tbh anything not working was probably a result of the jumble of things you had going on with turning triggers on and off.

 

[Uklabokalala]

Hmm, I've never had problems with turning thousands of triggers on and off.

 

[pOke]

Turning things on and off is not a problem but probably you were accidently turning something off when it needed to be on etc.

Again this is all speculation, but after seeing the current way the code was organized it does not seem unfeasible that it could have some mistakes.

AH HA HA! I got it! Thanks for the help man, I appreciate it.
