units costing mana?

[shocker]

is there a way to make TRAINNING(not using spells) a troop to cost mana?

More info:
I trying to create a way to make a barracks only able to create a total for 3 troops. I had a friend who tried to do this with food but failed.

 

[Dr. Boom]

Seas =)

Hmm this is confusing for me ...

1) You got a barracks - clear
2) You can train Units in the Barracks - clear
3) You want train the Unit for mana? (so the barracks lose mana?) or what? =O

 

[Billy the Cat]

I do not know how all those unit construction events work, but it might be possible to lower the mane on the building every time a unit is produced and when a construction is started with 0 mana it stops the construction. I am not sure about a possibility to do so though, but I thought there were events like that.

Easy GUI triggers my friend. Play around for yourself or post a message and I'll do it

The only problem is that you can't cancel a building training a unit. I think that is.

 

[Elmo]

Here is one way to do it.

• Barracks Training
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Mana of (Triggering unit)) Less than 10.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on Barracks Training 3 <gen>
      • Else - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on Barracks Training 2 <gen>

• Barracks Training 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks
        • (Trained unit-type) Equal to Footman
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) - The_Cost_You_Want)
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

• Barracks Training 3
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Barracks
        • (Trained unit-type) Equal to Footman
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Kill (Trained unit)
        • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) the text: Your Barracks have ...
      • Else - Actions

Fixed

Fixed 2: Now your unit gets killed when you don't have enough mana

 

[Billy the Cat]

If the player then would decide to make a unit the mana cost of the building must be equal or more as the required mana cost too. Otherwise it would create units at 0 mana.

 

[reza sword2]

That wouldn't work. The unit will still be created if the mana isn't enough. Unless it was removed of course.

 

[doom_sheep]

you forgot the condition unit has mana. and there should be remove trained unit action on else.

 

[Billy the Cat]

If someone would stop production of a unit already under construction he should get mana back right? Just telling

 

[Reaper2008]

Another way would be a triggered creation:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Footman
• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

 

[Billy the Cat]

Not using spells he said

 

[Elmo]

Fixed my trigger. Should work now. Units default cost = 10 mana

 

[reza sword2]

I don't think ordering the building to stop will stop production of the unit.

 

[Elmo]

Not? I will test it ingame. Ill edit this post soon

You are right. It deos not stop


Edit2: I could make it so if the bararcks have no mana, it will kill the trained unit..?

Done: Now your unit gets killed if you don't have enough mana.

 

[Billy the Cat]

I don't know either D:

I think that you would have to make triggers like this:

Unit production is started only if mana is enough.
If production is stopped after starting mana is given back to the building.

to Elmo: that trigger doesn't look MUI (or MB(uilding)I in this case ) to me.

 

[Elmo]

I did not intend to make it MB(^^) either.

I do not have enough time atm, but I will be back in about 20 mins, and can do it then

My system does what u suggest. It checks if the mana is enough, and then starts either kill or spawn trigger

 

[reza sword2]

This trigger is MUCH simpler:

• Mana Cost
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Mana of (Triggering unit)) Less than your_mana_cost
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Trained unit) from the game
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) - your_mana_cost)

Btw Elmo, it's better if you remove the unit.

 

[Billy the Cat]

That looks...promising
You will only have to check what unit is trained for the cost

 

[reza sword2]

Could easily be done with Or conditions.

 

[doom_sheep]

rezas trigger works. i dont understand people who must turn on/off triggers all the time, making simple stuff non mui

 

[Billy the Cat]

Mwah I just didn't think of that way xD

 

[Elmo]

Btw Elmo, it's better if you remove the unit.

I, know but killing is so much more fun

is there a way to make TRAINNING(not using spells) a troop to cost mana?

More info:
I trying to create a way to make a barracks only able to create a total for 3 troops. I had a friend who tried to do this with food but failed.

You can limit training of unit in trigger and you can also disable abilities...

 

[Billy the Cat]

Wait...3 of that unit total or 3 on every barrack?

 

[shocker]

3 on every barrack.

also i forgot to add that the biulding can't kill the troop after it has been trainned if it does not have the mana needed, because it will mess up other triggers.

Extra info:currently troops all troops only cost 1 mana, that might make it easyer to make.

If you have a better system that player can see besides mana to limit how many troops can be trained per biulding please post it.

 

[nomadian]

you just put 3 in stock and put a high stock redelay no?

 

[shocker]

no that wont work because it be 3 units total. Like 3 footmen or 1 footmen with 2 riflemen.

 

[Billy the Cat]

Hm would it be possible to remove stocks when a unit is build?

 

[ALiEN95]

I think the easies way would be
ACTION-Force owner of triggering unit to press ESC

 

[shocker]

is that even possable? ifso he would also need to be selection the biulding at the same time.

 

[ALiEN95]

is that even possable? ifso he would also need to be selection the biulding at the same time.

Affcourse its possible (almoust everything is possible in WE )...well he will always have the unit selected if EVENT is - unit begins training/upgradeing/construction/research

 

[wolfman]

• Limit
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All Players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Player - Limit training of Footman to 3 for (Picked player)

That should do the trick if you only want to be able to train 3 at a time.

• Limit1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Barracks
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to ((Mana of (Triggering unit)) - 10.00)
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Integer((Mana of (Triggering unit)))) Equal to (==) 0
        • Then - Actions
          • Player Group - Pick every player in (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Player - Make Footman Unavailable for training/construction by (Picked player)
        • Else - Actions

Or that if you only want to be able to train 3 total.

 

[Billy the Cat]

He wanted 3 on every building and then for every building the total of Rifleman, Footmen etc...

 

[wolfman]

Oh just make it so you purchase units?
Or you can do kind of what my second trigger was (same conditions) but instead of makin the footman unavailable just pause the barracks. If you give it 20 mana it should work. Im pretty sure that if you pause it the building wont be able to make any units.

 

[reza sword2]

Off course it's possible, my friend. But you'd have to use custom values. That's how I'd do it.

• Training Limitation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Custom value of (Triggering unit)) Less than 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to ((Custom value of (Triggering unit)) + 1)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Trained unit) from the game

 

[wolfman]

then you train the unit and pay for it too though.

 

[reza sword2]

Meh. Could easily be done with a refund system.
