Unlimited upgrades

[vijju123]

Can u guys give me trigger how to remove limit from an upgrade means how to reseach a upgrade indinite times?

 

[Marsal]

Erm it's impossible? If you make an upgrade then you'll have to set a level for it. Unlimited is not really possible...
Tell us what exactly do you want.

 

[vijju123]

I want to put a trigger on upgrade or really-
Either - U reaseach a upgrade the effects are there and the same upgrade can be reaseached again

or- u buy and item and whenever u buy that particular item it gives +3 damage a particular kind of unit(units that are present and units that will be trained in future)

 

[Marsal]

Thats impossible...

 

[Orcnet]

in a simple way, go to "Object Editor" there you can just increase the "Level" of your chosen upgrade [e.g Levels 99999999999], then remove all "Level Techtree Requirements".

it is quite unusual and not good for giving an unlimited upgrade

its possible with a damage detection system...the idea behind it is count the number of
items (or charges used), add it all like 3+3+3+3+3 and so on...the total of it is your total
damage ofc...

you need to use hashtable and 1 dummy unit per player, the dummy unit loads the damage...

TRigger pls?

You don't need any of that nonsense. I do exactly what he's talking about in my wmw map... each upgrade only has 1 level and I get unlimited upgrades >.>. Just start a timer that ends .01 seconds before the upgrade ends. When the timer ends, issue the cancel order to the researching unit and do what you want to do. If you want bonus damage, enumerate over all units of a type and add bonus damage to them. Also, be sure to do an index event so that you can add bonus damage to the unit if it is of that type.

Good game. All of this is set up in my wmw map w/o any dummy units or other weird nonsense.


Also, if you want % damage increase, my suggestion is to use a damage detection system and then amplify the damage by the target %, which is something else I have in my map :\.


So yea, all the stuff you want to do is possible. Don't let people tell you otherwise ; ).


For nonbelievers, this video demonstrates my infinite upgrades with only 1 level per tech (just skip ahead to where I build advanced tech center and start upgrading for plans). If you want to see sample code, open the map and go to the Plans trigger. Also be sure to look at the triggers named after the ancient towers ^)^.

This all ofc requires vjass knowledge

 

[mckill2009]

my version is easier to do Nes plus easier to implement, also he needs triggers which Im not gonna do in GUI, if he wants I'll do it in jass...

Wow thanks but can u pls give a trigger i am extremely new to world editor

 

[Nestharus]

Unit begins to research
Start a timer that expires .01 seconds before research is complete
hash[timer] = unit index

timer expires
unit = hash[expired]
research_global = hash2[expired]
set player gold/lumber to 1 mil
enable cancellation trigger
cancel all researches
in cancellation trigger, if canceled research is != research_global, issue order to unit to start it back up
disable cancellation trigger
set player gold/lumber back to what it was
run your custom code


Here is my implementation in my wmw map (a lot more than you need because I'm using items in a builder to show how many times an upgrade was researched)

I only do vJASS.

No GUI, sry

 

[MajorKaza]

Just copy - past man. Nes has good idea. All those codes ('e005') are objects index. Press ctrl + D in object editor to see indexes of all objects. Then just replace his with yours indexes. + to Nes.

 

[Nestharus]

Well, you are going to need to modify the code so that it doesn't work with all of the item stuff : P. The items in my map are plans that are researched and then used to build buildings ;D. For example, 1 building may consume 2 plans ; P.

 

[Bloody_Turds]

well upgrades can go high, but i wouldnt recomend putting them past 100.... in editor, or you will get a little delay when the upgrade building is first selected...
really though quality over quantity.., does the user really need to click 100 times to get 100 dmg, or would 10 dmg per click, at 10x the cost suffice ;P, mostly saying this because you are a 'beginner' , unlimited at your skill level would be kinda hard.. but if 100's not enough...

 

[Dr Super Good]

Upgrade to StarCraft II. Unless specified via a requirement you can research upgrades indefinatly and in parallel there.

Lawl. Advertising a little are we Super? I'm certain if I looked into it I could write a JASS code for this if you can't figure out Nes's Vjass. He confuses even me sometimes o.o but only cuz I don't do vJass xD

 

[mckill2009]

see?, nobody will and can do it in GUI...

offtopic: I might try to mod in SC2 when I buy a new laptop...

 

[Gekigengar]

Press shift on the level, and input 10000 or more.

you can do infinite upgrade with damage with item ability. "Item permanent damage Gain",

just put it on Tome/Powerups, and give it to the unit/hero (Yes, you can give it to the unit). when you train another unit, just save how much you have upgraded, and give the item in loop. if you have upgraded 123x, just loop give item 123 times to every trained unit?

 

[Bloody_Turds]

@ last suggest, that would only work for anything tome workable, i would suggest a different alternative (although not infinite), you add abilitys for every didget you want the upgrade to go to (not unlimited, but 4 upgrades with 10 levels each (9 if you wana work harder), gets you 9999 upgrades, which would maybe be clickable in a decent length game if that was the whole goal of the game..., but u can always throw another one in for good measure ...
first upgrade could add 0-9 dmg, second 10,20,30,40,50,60,ect, 3rd 100,200,300, ect ect..., that should cover just about anything an upgrade can do (asuming there is an ability with the same effect)
