Two simple questions

[Acorn511]

How do you make ally properties adjustable in a map (similar to the popular world war III map) where people can easily ally, and unally?

Also, how do you make the +gold text appear on certain buildings that generate income periodically?

Thanks

Edit: mod please move to the world edit help zone, iunno how it got here.....

For the first one, you need to uncheck the "Fixed Player Settings" in the "Force Properties" in the "Scenerio" tab.

Gold text like this:

• Actions
  • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((*gold amount*))) above (*your unit*) with Z offset 64.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
  • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 100.00 towards 90.00 degrees
  • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
  • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
  • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.70 seconds

Adjust the color (RGB values) to yellow perhaps. You can concatenate strings, like "+" "amount of gold" (integer) and " gold". So it looks like

+10 gold

The ally thing can be done like this:

• Untitled Trigger 097
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -ally as A substring
    • ...
  • Conditions
    • (Substring((Entered chat string), 1, 5)) Equal to -ally
  • Actions
    • Player - Make (Triggering player) treat (Player((Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 7)))))) as an Ally with shared vision

If player 1 types

-ally 2

he will be allied with player 2. Player 2 does not become an ally of player 1 however, meaning P1 units will not attack P2 units, but P2 units will attack P1 units. P2 need to ally with P1 too.

This will bug with players 10,11 ans 12 BTW, but that's not difficult to fix. You may also want to display some text message, like "Player x has allied with player y".

And create an unally trigger in the same fashion.

I think he was just asking for this trigger:
Action
Game - Set alliance configuration to on.
This is in game - set map flag.
