[Solved] Victory Trigger when Main Quests are Completed

[Tiucaner]

So I have a map with 5 Quests. The player can only achieve victory if they complete all 5. I have 5 different boolean variables that are each turn to True when they complete a quest. Then I created the following trigger to check if they are all True, and if they are, the victory Cinematic plays. However, it simply doesn't work.

• Victory
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • And - All (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • Victory1 Equal to True
        • Victory2 Equal to True
        • Victory3 Equal to True
        • Victory4 Equal to True
        • Victory5 Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Run VictoryCinematic <gen> (checking conditions)

There's no event that would fire that trigger.

 

[Tiucaner]

Wouldn't the global variables becoming True trigger it?

 

[Nichilus]

No. You need to have an event which the game uses to detect when to fire your trigger, or you need to run your trigger manually from another trigger using the 'Trigger - Run Trigger' action.

Something like this could work:

• Victory
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • Victory1 Equal to True
    • Victory2 Equal to True
    • Victory3 Equal to True
    • Victory4 Equal to True
    • Victory5 Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Run VictoryCinematic <gen> (checking conditions)

Note that the "And" condition is already the default behavior so you can get rid of it. It's meant to be used along with the "Or" condition to ask more complex sets of questions like: If (A is true) or (B and C are true).

Also, you can use a single Boolean Array variable instead of needing 5 separate Boolean variables.

• Conditions
  • Victory[1] Equal to True
  • Victory[2] Equal to True
  • Victory[3] Equal to True
  • Victory[4] Equal to True
  • Victory[5] Equal to True

Then you could even use a For Loop to "simplify" the logic, although maybe overkill here:

• Victory
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Variable Victory[0] = True
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Victory_Condition_Count do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If Victory[(Integer A)] Equal to False then Set Variable Victory[0] = False Else do nothing
    • If all conditions are true then do Actions
      • If - Conditions
        • Victory[0] Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Trigger - Run VictoryCinematic <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions

Honestly, I would just use a counter. Something like "TasksLeft = 5" and each completed quest decreases the value by one. Victory condition would just check if TasksLeft == 0.

No. You need to have an event which the game uses to detect when to fire your trigger, or you need to run your trigger manually from another trigger using the 'Trigger - Run Trigger' action.

Yup, that worked. I just assumed variables would simply trigger in conditions. Thanks!

That will be very useful if I ever have multiple quest requirements to trigger several different events or something like that. Thanks.
