When player left

[maartehhh]

Hi everybody,


my english is sucky, so i'll try my best.

This is what I want to do:

I got a little concept of a game, but i need to fix the 'player leaves' issue. For example when player 6 leaves, i want to give player 5 his buildings and income. The income is made by some timers and triggers. I hope it isnt that difficult to achive this. Can someone explain me in babytalk, cause i dont speak editing language, how to fix that. What triggers, event, triggers are recommanded for this one. And if its not done with triggers, how then? ^^

Well I hope someone can help me find searching what I'm looking for. I do think so, cause every game runs to this issue, I guess.

Thank you!


Kind regards,

Maartehhh

Do something like this...

• Player 6 Drop
  • Events
    • Player - Player 6 leaves the game with Victory
  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Variable - Modify Income[5]: + Income[6]
    • Unit Group - Pick each unit in (Any units in (Entire map) owned by player 6 matching (No Value), with at most Any Amount) and do (Actions)
      • Actions
        • Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to player 5 and Change Color

Obviously I do not know how your income system works so I assume you are using an integer array to map players to their income.

Hmm that is a nice overview. Thanks man!! The units are clear to me now.. I couldnt figure why the victory type is nessecary in this event.. But clearly its the right one.. The income works kinda complicated.. I made a screenshot of mine income triggers..

Pherpas this will be an solution??

Ops, did not notice that Victory... Set it to something else maybe.

I do not know how to integrate that trigger into your resource system as you have a lot of procedural coupling. I advise giving shared resources between Player 6 and 5 so that he can spend the resources even if he does not earn them.

Pherpas this will be an solution??

You can try it and see.

Another alternative would be to periodically dump resources from dropped players into their allies.

Yes, i know. And thats why I am posting it here on The Hive Workshop. Hahahah, cuz i cant find an other event what describes the sistuation.

You can try it and see.

I will, but how the f do I test. I need 6 players xD...


Thanks anyway for the effort.

Throw in events for all leave types, that is the simplest solution. Then it has to work.

 

[maartehhh]

Ye, I already did that. I tested with a friend of mine, and it worked. I can assure the triggers for the other players should work too. Only have this problem with the spanwing of units, they spawn on the wrong location. But its not that big issue, perhaps for later after it went public.

Thanks for you fast replies.

Kind regards
