[Cajvall]

Hi, i need a trigger for a victory condition.

If you lose all your heroes you will lose. How do i make it?

1 step - add all of your heroes to HeroGroup.
2 step - check when any hero die.
3 step - when hero die check number of alive heroes in HeroGroup.
4 step - if all units in heroGroup are Dead. then victory/defeat

that wont work if there is more than 2 players. if there is more than 2 players each player needs their own unit group and when all except one is empty the player remaining wins.

Might help you Cajvall in some ways: http://www.thehelper.net/threads/win-loss-conditions.154166/

The easiest solution is a simple integer array. This allows for mpi.
Simply increase integer for that player when that player creates a hero unit. Decrease it when that players hero unit dies. After decreasing check if integer is less than 1. In the then block make that player lose.

Using a unit group with a check to count units in unit group is inefficient. To count units in unit group it loops through every unit and increases an integer.

andreasaspenberg, well group(Mui) it can be possible to do. but never mind, i just said my opinion.

i guess that an integer would also be possible but i never thought of using that in a victory condition. each player still need their own variable though.

this is deathismyfriend's solution. For every player add +1 if. that's it.
HeroesNumber is integer array 1-12

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Dying unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
      • Then - Actions
        • Set HeroesNumber[1] = (HeroesNumber[1] - 1)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • HeroesNumber[1] Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: Defeat!
      • Else - Actions

Why the need to complicate things?

Because the trigger you posted is very inefficient.
Using an integer array is a lot more efficient than looping through all units in map. Checking if they are owned by a player. Creating a unit group. Leaking when you check number of units in group. Then destroying group.
