[Trigger] Vehicle Needs Driver

[operator]

In a map I'm making, I want mechanical units not being able to move unless it has loaded a unit. I've tried to come up with a solution, but failed. Does anyone know how I can do this ?

Thanks,

~Operator

EDIT:

I've tried this trigger, which looks ok. But it crash the game for some reason.

• Test
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is Mechanical) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Paladin 0000 <gen> is being transported) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Do nothing
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

A plausible solution:

1) Make vehicles transports.

2) a) By triggers, detect when they are boarded. When this happens, set their movement speed to whatever - by means of SetUnitMoveSpeed(), or w/e.

b)By triggers, detect when they are unboarded. When this happens, set their movement speed and turn rate, respectively, to 0 - again by whatever means.

Means: SetUnitMoveSpeed() - set movespeed to a substantial value or 0
SetUnitTurnSpeed() Make the unit's default movespeed 0 or 1 then, in the former of the two triggers, give it some ability that gives it 1000000% movement speed; and, by the latter of the two triggers, remove this.

etc.

There is no event to detect when a is unboarded

I recommend you to ask that Dr Pepper guy, who made the City of Drugs map, to give you the car<>driver triggers from the map. I see him time to time, I think.

 

[operator]

Hmm, I haven't played that map. But thank you

 

[Day-Elven]

Hmmm.
In my map i have the trigger with the same events.
It crashed the game without fatal error message (just closed wc3).
When i changed the condition, the problem was solved.
Try another conditions / events.

Exactly, It's so wierd.

Can't you just use something different?

Create 2 units your vehicle without driver, and one with driver. Just set turn speed and movement speed of without driver to 0.
Now when a unit uses an ability called enter, just remove that unit and replace the no driver vehicle with a driver vehicle. If it's a hero, just take away control and move it instantly to a corner in the map.

It's an infinite loop- Stop is considered an action with no target, so the unit is ordered to stop over and over again.
Change the trigger, you should:

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.1 second/s of game time
• Conditions
  • ((Paladin) is being transported) equal to True
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Playable map area matching (Matching Unit is a mechanical equal to True) and do (Actions)
    • Unit - Order picked unit to hold position

Or simply add the "turn off this trigger" action to the start of the trigger, and turn it back on at the end...

That didn't work though

Just use what I posed? It's like the 10th time today I help somebody while the guy asking for help does not even notice lol.

No ofcourse not, I'm not dumb I changed it to fit my map. But see for yourself
