What should I do here?

[Rugarus]

@ 26 mins flat my human dies, and at that point a trigger runs that changes all the buildings to a dead type of building that rewards less bounty to the opposing team.


I'm wondering, do I have to make separate buildings of each building type to make them look transparent? Or can I somehow alter properties to a building via trigger?

Right now I'm changing the building to hostile but can't find a way to alter the transparency. So just wondering if my only solution is create an entire building group that are all transparent. Thanks.

You are looking for the animation action type. There's a function there where you can change a unit's transparency. Combine it with a Unit Group, and you should probably have the desired effect.

• Animation - Change YOUR_UNIT's vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 0.00% transparency

Vertex colour can be set locally via GetLocalPlayer(). This means that a unit can be made to appear a certain colour only for specific human players.

Thanks, I forgot to ask. Can you change the bounty of a building via trigger?

And if that's not possible ^

Can I set a trigger to take away 25% of a buildings bounty when destroyed?

Not that I know of, or rather that I would recommend.

One can trigger the bounty mechanics. When the unit dies give some gold amount to owner of killing unit, if it fulfils the bounty requirements.

Ok, so I guess what I'll do is. Detect what the building is, and if lets say it's a 20g building. Deduct owners gold = owners gold - 75% of the total. Or do you think it would be better to have no bounty on any buildings and do it manually?

Do it all manually.

I am not even sure what you mean by manually. Bounties are fixed amount of gold generated when a unit is killed, it does not remove any gold from the owner of the dying unit that gave bounty.

Ull need custom bounty with triggers

By manually I mean. Unit died, if unit type = to X give x gold to player.

 

[Dr Super Good]

One can do that.

If there are a lot of unit types that need such a mapping one can use a hashtable with parent key being unit type and child key being a constant as hash tables can perform such value lookups a lot faster than even a binary search tree of if statements. This is technically a faster way of doing it, but I doubt performance is a problem at your stage of development so both ways should work fine.
