Vehicle Ownership

[The Curse]

Hello.

I was attempting to add a "vehicle ownership" system to my map and ran into a few issues. Sorry if the answers to them are obvious, I just returned to wc3 editing.

Basically, there is a ruined factory with a few "damaged" vehicles (Neutral Passive) nearby. What I planned was to get the player to repair those vehicles (thoroughly), and gains control of them. But I don't know how to detect the player who conducted the repair to change ownership to them. Is there a way?

I also wanted to implement a "gasoline" system with the mana. Basically, when the mana of the vehicle reaches 0, the vehicle is immobilized until refuel. But I need ideas on how to immobilize it. The Set Movement Speed has a minimum, and changing ownership of the immobilized vehicle to Neutral Passive can get quite messy. Oh, and the mana detection event is very specific, is there a way to make it generic to any vehicle?

for the gasoline system you may activate a cloack of flames ability that ads a buff to the unit (no damage) it will drain the mana and if it gets to 0 you add a trigger that says unit has buff (cloack of flames) = to false then set move speed to 0

make it periodically

EDIT: i missed the part of the "limit ms" just order the unit to stop periodically untill the skill is active again

make a region where that vehicles stands, and when the player enters that region change the ownership. sec ill make you a trigger.

and a simple trigger

• Ownership
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Entering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Change ownership of Siege Engine 0000 <gen> to Player 1 (Red) and Change color

for the fuel try to make that the unit is isued the order like move, and drain mana with ecah order, if you get it

That doesn't work -_- He wants the REPAIRER to get control, not the first unit to run into range.

Um. I'll try and find something after I tinker with the Editor for a while

You can still detect who is repairing the vehicle with order comparison - current order of unit in range of this vehicle. I hope you understand, if not I will write the trigger.

Btw, what map are you making?

You could make a buff that when a unit repairs the car, it adds the buff, and then create a trigger that if buff lasts for x seconds then the unit gets ownership.
