Warp to a random region?

[Prince Panda]

Okay, I just need a simple teleportation trigger. I want it so a unit is moved to a random region.
Here is what I have right now, and it doesn't seem to be working:

Events:
A Unit enters [Region]

Action:
Unit - Move (Entering unit) instantly to (Center of [Other Region][(Random integer number between 1 and 12)])

[Other Region] is a region variable with an array size of 12, but whenever I test this in-game, my units are always only warped at [Other Region][1], and not at the arrays 2-12.

Any suggestions or solutions?

Thanks. ~Panda

This trigger might help you:

• PrincePanda
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters ([I]Region[/I])
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set RandomPointInRegion = (Random point in Other_Region)
    • Unit - Move (Entering unit) instantly to RandomPointInRegion
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_RandomPointInRegion)

The RandomPointInRegion is a variable of type Point. I must first set the RandomPointInRegion so that when I use the Move Unit instantly, the action already knows what point I am referring to. Afterwards I use the script so the memory leak is completly destroyed.

Your trigger looks to be correct, the only way to make an error if you've done exactly this is a bad initialisation of the [Other Region] variable. (with some too fast cpoy-paste maybe)
can you check this?

@Rui: that's not what he wants to do ;p

As Yoshiryu said, you must initialise the other Region variables in a good way: for example

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Region[0] = Region 000 <gen>
    • Set Region[1] = Region 001 <gen>
    • Set Region[2] = Region 002 <gen>
    • Set Region[3] = Region 003 <gen>

I'd be surprised if there would still be a problem. Anyway, if that's the case, do this in your trigger:
Actions:
set Integer_Variable = (random integer between 1 and 12)
Unit - Move (Entering unit) instantly to (Center of [Other Region][(Integer_Variable)])

and for testing purposes, add the following action:

Game - text message: convert Integer (Integer_Variable) to string

This way you'll see the value of the Integer_variable after randomizing it. If it remains 1, something weird is going on...

Why dont just do like Rui, just that instead of setting a variable you immediately set to Random Point in region.

because if you take 12 regions, you can place them all over the map. If you only take 1 region, it almost has to be as big as the whole map. If you use 1 region you might get unwanted effects such as units teleporting to a point on the map you do NOT want the guy to be teleported at.

a good example would be: take a portal at the center of the map. If this portal is used, the unit should teleport to one of the 4 corners of the map. How are you going to do that when using only 1 region?
