Vampire Hurts During the Day?

[weuser]

Anyone know how to make a trigger that hurts a custom hero I made during the day per second (he's a vampire) and then stops at night?

-Add all vampires to a group
-Just create a periodic trigger that picks all units on that group and damage them if Time of day is less than 18.00 but greater than or equal to 6.00

• Trigger 01
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on (Trigger 03)

• Trigger 02
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 18.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (Trigger 03)

• Trigger 02
  • Events
    • TIme - Every 1.00 seconds of Game Time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of --HERO-- to (Life of(HERO)) - 1.00

He wants it PER SECOND...

it can be done in one trigger...

maybe I'll make a trigger form of my above post...

make sure you add the vamps to the group...

• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • If-Then-Else
    • If - Conditions
      • Time of Day is less than 18.00
      • Time of Day is greater than or equal to 6.00
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Vampires and do
        • Do - Actions
          • Unit - Set life of picked unit
          • -------Or you may want to cause some unit to deal damage------
    • Else - Actions

Oh, I didnt see that. Lol.

 

[Adiktuz]

seriously, those three triggers are totally unneeded...

at least if you want to be able to turn it off, you could make it into just two... just add an if-then at the loop which checks if the time is already 18.00 and turn off the loop...

though using just equal might not work if the setting of time per day is pretty fast, it may skip the 18.00...

ah, brilliant! thanks!

Whether it is the best depends on if the time of day event hooks are faster or slower than 2 jass written time comparision every second.

In any case it could probably be made faster by using problem scope reduction. If it is night time it can logically not start being night time again so that boundary need not be checked. Likewise if it is day time it can not start being day time again so that boundry need not be checked.

at the very least, he has a base trigger... ^_^

You could not make a trigger at all. And just make it so that the Vampire unit has a negative health regeneration rate, then set it so he only regenerates (or degenerates) during the day. But doing this will make him not regenerate health at night either, unless he's a hero then his strength comes into it. Probably tiggers is better. Don't listen to what i say actually. OUT!

There's no way to disable an ability at a certain time without triggers...
