[Trigger] water platform

[Gallin]

well i was wondering if any1 would help me with something it is
when u constuct a building a platform forms arond it that u can walk on in the water

 

[Volvox]

That means you would have to alter the pathing map in-game... I'm not sure if that's possible.

 

[GhostWolf]

When you finish building, remove it and create a platform instead.

 

[Gallin]

i tried that but it wouldnt let me go into the water on the platform

 

[Volvox]

that's cause the pathing map can be changed ingame only by using elevators as far as i know.

that's cause the pathing map can be changed ingame only by using elevators as far as i know.

Thats what I meant if it was not clear. I just wrote it through my cellphone (wanted to check it out lol) and it took me ages only for that single line so I stopped there... lol.

 

[Volvox]

you wrote platform, that confused me

 

[Gallin]

so how would i do it??

 

[Gallin]

i still cant get this will any1 help me

 

[GhostWolf]

• Destructible - Create a Elevator (1) at someWhere facing someAngle with scale 1.00 and variation 0

 

[Gallin]

but i did that but it dont let me wlak on it

 

[Volvox]

Try creating a bridge then, i saw that working in a campain.

 

[Gallin]

that doesnt work either

 

[Volvox]

Sorry man, i'm out of ideas... If i come across something like that, i'll let you know.

 

[Gallin]

o man well thanks for everything u did but i got another question would it be possible to if u make like a building and then once it finsihs constuction a wall is formed around it facing away form it?

 

[Volvox]

Yeah, i think that would be possible. You need the whole trigger or just a hint? I can give you both.

 

[Gallin]

the whole trigger would be nice but i no the event and the condition so the action would jsut be fine
but could u make the wall that is being made after the contrstuion not just pop up and be finsihsed irhgt away?

 

[Volvox]

Hmm. That would require dummy units to build the wall but yeah, i think it is possible.

 

[Gallin]

also would this wall be walkable?

 

[Volvox]

The wall? Of course not, it's a wall

 

[Gallin]

would u need to make a trigger like action a unit finishes consturction
unit = to wall
make like a platform but then agian thats what i need for the water platform so it wont work till i get that figured out

 

[Volvox]

NO, no, no. This si how i would do it. A unit constructs a building witch needs to be rounded by the wall. Then you create say 12 dummy units and order them to build a wall on a point with polar offset that is equal to 360/n of dummy units(of wall units) you assign those dummy units into an array and leter remove them from the game. It would also be a good idea to null the unit values inside the array once the construction is finished. It's not that complicated.

 

[Gallin]

but um would these all face like the direction away form it so it would form a complet cirle
also could u tell em the trigger??

 

[Volvox]

no, i'm afraid they would be facing the default building facing angle... You could assign the wall segments int an array and force them to face out.

 

[Gallin]

how would i do that?

 

[Volvox]

Just capture the constructed unit from the 'finishes construction' event, check if it is a wall and force it to face away from the central building. You can calculate the facing angle easily, the only possible problem would be detecting the central building. You'd have to assign a global to it.

 

[Gallin]

could u show me the trigger if thats possible?

 

[Volvox]

I'm doing my homework now, triggering would take too much time now, but i could do it tomorrow.

 

[Gallin]

im nto in any rush i would jsut be happy to have the trigger i still need to furgure that water platfrom tho

 

[Gallin]

so any1 figure out how to make the water platform???
