[Trigger] Victory/Defeat Conditions

[Amigurumi]

Hi, I have a question.

I want to make a victory/defeat condition, for a map with custom races.

Before the game starts, the players can choose their teams (team 1, team 2, team 3, ... ,) There are max 6 players, so there can be max 6 teams.

And my question is, how can I trigger a victory/defeat (when for example only team 1 is alive, that this team win) condition?

I've tried it many times, and even with the normal Victory/Defeat conditions, but nothing works.

Maybe someone of you know how to solve this problem.

Conditions of ally players maybe? Wc3 know if players are allied so this will work.

I've tried it already with Playergroup(Allies of Player) but I dind't managed it to work...
And it's hard to explain this problem, but how should look like a victory/defeat cond. for a game with custom races
and where the players choose their teams before the game starts?

hmmmm make a trigger that if a player is defeated it get sent to his team's "lost" playergroup and when all players of that team are in it, it checks if 2 or more teams are alive then if onyl 1 is alive, it gives victory to that last team?

Better do this. You just need two Real variables.

• Team1
• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game with a defeat
  • Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game with a defeat
  • Player - Player 3 (Teal) leaves the game with a defeat
  • .. and all other team 1 players
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Team1 = (Team1 + 1.00)

• Team2
• Events
  • Player - Player 4 (Purple) leaves the game with a defeat
  • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) leaves the game with a defeat
  • Player - Player 6 (Orange) leaves the game with a defeat
  • .. and all other team 2 players
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Team2 = (Team2 + 1.00)

• Defeated1
• Events
  • Game - Team1 becomes Equal to 3.00
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Game - Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: Defeat!
  • Game - Defeat Player 2 (Blue) with the message: Defeat!
  • Game - Defeat Player 3 (Teal) with the message: Defeat!
  • ...etc

• Defeated2
• Events
  • Game - Team2 becomes Equal to 3.00
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Game - Defeat Player 4 (Purple) with the message: Defeat!
  • Game - Defeat Player 5 (Yellow) with the message: Defeat!
  • Game - Defeat Player 6 (Orange) with the message: Defeat!
  • ...etc

Better skip the events for the first two and the actions for the last two, and add them with triggers.

There are many ways to create defeat system. You could do as reaper told (but if players choose teams this won`t work at all) or you can create player groups and do many things with this.

@ kevv2: I tried this already, but if I do it as you said, there would be a biiiiig trigger, to check if the others player are defeated too, or which team wins...
And I cannot check allies of player in a condition...

I spent more than 2 weeks on this problem, maybe it cannot be solved? D:

But I hope someone knows an answer. Thanks

@ Reaper2008: The teams are not fixed (there can be a game with 2v1/2v2/3v3/3v2 etc)

You could use player groups and add the events when they choose sides. Dunno about defeat though.
I'll see about this.

      • Conditions
        • number of units owned by enemies of picked player matching unit is alive less than 1
      • Then: win
      • Else: nothnig

@ Reaper2008: The teams weren't chosen in the game, the players choose them in the 'lobby'

@ doom_sheep: if I would use yours, when a enemy player dies, all your teammates, and you, will win the game, no matter how many enemies are still in the game...

Did you even try doom_sheep's. It looks sound to me. All enemies' units are dead you win. I'd hate to see the comeback if all your units are dead.

Zombies!!!!! rabble rabble rablle

 

[krisserz]

What kind of map is it?

 

[Amigurumi]

@ howl2000: ok, I misunderstood doom_sheep's trigger, thought he mean only of one enemy... try it

@ krisserz: [Space Order] it's a strategy game, with down of war style (capture generators...)

 

[kevv2]

better a long trigger then non-working short one? :O

    • Player Group - Remove (Triggering player) from (All allies of (Triggering player))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • PlayGroup[(Player number of (Triggering player))] Equal to 0

would that work? I know, I have to add the Victory for the other players, but I don't know how to add that...

@kevv2: yeah that's right , but I first want to try a working and small trigger

is there anyone, who knows, how I can add the victory action for the other players? (See Trigger in my upper post)
My map badly needs this trigger

Think about what you need to do:

You need to give victory to all players on one side if all players on the other are dead.

So maintain a list of zeros and ones for each team

On game start lists are filled with a 1 for each player

When player dies his/her corresponding number is set to 0

every time a player dies check if his teams list is full of zeros,

if it is then give everyone on the opposing team a victory

For dealing with different size and different number teams use a list of lists

so for 3v3 do PlayerLives[[1,1,1],[1,1,1]] (generated at runtime ofcourse)

Then to access the proper player you can do PlayerLives[TeamNumber][PlayerNumber] = whatever
