[Solved] Triggers, Quest: Kill 10 Footman

[Terhonator]

Hi again. This time I need some help with basic trigger. I would like create simple quest with objective "Kill 10 Footman" for example.

What is easiest way to make quest like this? If possible with information about remaining targets. Like "9/10 Footman killed".

Post a working trigger from your own maps if possible.

Is that a not repeatable quest in singleplayer? Then one can use the built in quest-system to display them inside quest menu.
Which could look like that:

• Create FootMen Quest
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Quest - Create a Required quest titled Footmen with the description Guldan Orders: Show..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNFootman.blp
    • Set Quest_FootMen = (Last created quest)
    • Quest - Create a quest requirement for Quest_FootMen with the description Kills 0/10
    • Set Quest_FootMen_Req = (Last created quest requirement)

• Footmen Killed
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to (Owner of (Killing unit))
  • Actions
    • Quest - Change the description of Quest_FootMen_Req to ((Kills + (String((Execution count of (This trigger))))) + /10)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Execution count of (This trigger)) Equal to 10
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Quest - Mark Quest_FootMen_Req as Completed
        • Quest - Mark Quest_FootMen as Completed
      • Else - Actions

You could also use an integer to count how many footmen have been killed to update the quest.

• Quest Footmen
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Set FootmenKilled = (FootmenKilled + 1)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 1) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 2) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 3) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 4) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 5) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 6) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 8) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 9) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (FootmenKilled Equal to 10) then do (Trigger - Run Quest Footmen Update Message <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)

• Quest Footmen Update Message
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- 1 --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • FootmenKilled Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Quest - Change the description of FootmenQuestReq to Kill 10 Footmen (1 out of 10)
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: Kill 10 Footman (1 out of 10)
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- 2 --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • FootmenKilled Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Quest - Change the description of FootmenQuestReq to Kill 10 Footmen (2 out of 10)
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: Kill 10 Footman (2 out of 10)
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- 3 --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • FootmenKilled Equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Quest - Change the description of FootmenQuestReq to Kill 10 Footmen (3 out of 10)
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: Kill 10 Footman (3 out of 10)
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- 4 --------
    • -------- 5 --------
    • -------- 6 --------

@Warseeker or you could use the "Concatenate String" function and directly use the integer to update, looks more or less like this then:

• Quest Footmen
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Set FootmenKilled = (FootmenKilled + 1)
    • Quest - Change the description of FootmenQuestReq to Kill 10 Footmen (Integer(FootmenKilled) out of 10)
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: Kill 10 Footman (Integer(Footmenkilled) out of 10)

you may also want to add a condition on who exactly the footman belonged to or who killed it

I still have a problem with this trigger. What I have at the moment:

• Create quest
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set I_RequiredKillsMilitia = 4
    • Quest - Create a Required quest titled Kill Militia with the description Complete all main q..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNMilitia.blp
    • Set Q_Militia = (Last created quest)
    • Quest - Create a quest requirement for Q_Militia with the description Kill 50 enemy Milit...
    • Set QR_Militia = (Last created quest requirement)
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Discovered message: |cffffcc00MAIN QUES...

• Enemy Militia dies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 6 (Orange) Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Militia
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Militia
  • Actions
    • Set I_RequiredKillsMilitia = (I_RequiredKillsMilitia - 1)
    • If (I_RequiredKillsMilitia Equal to 0) then do (Trigger - Run Victory <gen> (checking conditions)) else do (Do nothing)

I believe there is something wrong with my trigger and integers are not updating as they should. It is also possible that there is something wrong with Events / Conditions combination.

I don't see anything wrong with your trigger. It must be something else that is causing the problem.

I just found the solution. The trigger does not understand "Militia" as dying unit. When Militia dies it is actually "Peasant". No idea what is reason behind this.
