Waygate thread

[Ragnar9]

This dual trigger is not working. I dont want the pits of Isengard to be available until a research is complete, however the waygate is not being enabled for some reason.

    • Neutral Building - Enable Pits of Isenguard 0951 <gen>
    • Neutral Building - Enable Pits of Isenguard 0947 <gen>

Any tips or ideas? Worst case i can just make the waygates available at the start.

Try: setting the destination point of that waygates.

Are you sure the pits aren't disabled already at map init? Disabling them when they already are disabled may actually require you to enable them twice afterwards.
I know this is the case for some things like hiding/disabling abilities, but not sure about waygates.

Some triggers will not fire if their event is map initialization, maybe this is causing some of your problems, try setting the event to time elapsed 1 second

Does this unit even have waygate abilities? If not, this won't work one bit.

1. Did you base this unit (Pits of Isenguard) on a waygate? Otherwise, it may be missing key characteristics to make it operate as a waygate in the first place.
2. There is no (U) in Isengard. I get that this may be intentional though.
3. Try to remove disable at the map initialization thing, and just set the destination instead.
4. Why are you tracking this with research? Are you certain that this event is even being triggered? Try including a text message in the burnthem trigger that says "Triggered". Then check to see if that message ever pops up when player 23 finishes researching. If it doesn't, your event is broken.
5. I am assuming that you are not player 23 here. Computer players will not research custom upgrades unless they are explicitly told to do so. This may be possible to configure in the AI, although I have had mixed results with that, but otherwise, you can order it through a trigger. But again, why aren't you just using a timer for this instead?
