What is a Voting System?
A voting system is a system run by dialogs and variables. A voting system can be used to create a fair kicking system, a way of fairly selecting modes and many more useful systems. There are at least 3 variables for the casting the vote, winning, and setting the difficulty for every difficulty. Also, 4 variables for the dialog box and buttons. For more tips for the this system, look at the tips and tricks located near the bottom of this post.
How do I make it?
Well first of all, I suggest you study dialog basics made by AceHart: Dialog Box Tutorial - Choose a Hero (thehelper.net)
II:1 Making the buttons and dialog
This voting system is based for TD's.
Starting off, you will need 5 variables. Online_Players (As a player group); Players_User (As a player group also); Easy , Normal, and Hard (As a dialog button), and finally for the most important part, make a variable called Voting (as a Dialog)
Set Online_Players to this:
And Players_User to this:
Then we need to make the dialog box and the dialog buttons by doing this:
The variables will detect if a player is a user and if he or she is playing.
It should look like this so far:
II:2 Giving your Vote
Create 3 variables, EasyVote, NormalVote, and HardVote (real variables)
And then make three different triggers.
Set EasyVote = (EasyVote + 1.00)
[/CODE]
Set NormalVote = (NormalVote + 1.00)
[/CODE]
Set HardVote = (HardVote + 1.00)
[/CODE]
It should look something like this:
II:3 Winning Triggers
Make 3 variables, EasyDiff, NormalDiff, and HardDiff (all boolean)
Add some text saying that easy ,normal , and hard won and it should look like this:
II:4 Result Triggers
Well people may want to know how many votes a difficulty got so to make it, do this:
The empty string is only for spacing. It will make your Results look better....
It should look like this:
II:5 Difficulty Triggers
Time to give the modifiers!
Make a trigger similar to this:
You can modify the part where it says a unit enters Buff.
This is based off a TD map so you can change it so that you put a whole entire map under a region called buff.
Making the spells are easy. Make 3 similar spells to Spiked Carapace each having a different defense bonus.
III: Tips and Tricks
Other ways to use this system is to use different bonus effects and buffs. For example, you can do something like -20 speed for easy, 0 for normal, and +20 for hard. Giving color to your voting system makes it more appealing to the eye.
