Who is the killer? locust or hero?

[TKF]

If a unit get killed by a locust by the locust swarm spell, is the killer the hero or the locust? I need to know cuz the "killing unit" condition.

Well, when I tested it out with my trigger....

• Locust or Hero?
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (THE KILLER + (Name of (Killing unit)))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (THE DEAD + (Name of (Triggering unit)))

The game said the killer was Locust....

That's pretty logical, after all, locust swarm is a summon skill with a little ai added. Summoned units can also kill, so locust is the killing unit.

I must make it so that the triggers somehow identifies it with the owner of the caster of the locust, or else I'm stuck with my drone project :S

The problem is that I have no idea how. Also this must be for several casters, which in my idea is structures who release drone swarms. MUI.

easy

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set killer = (Killing unit)
    • Set Dieing = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Score[(Player number of (Owner of killer))] = (Score[(Player number of (Owner of killer))] + 1)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of (Owner of killer)) + ( Pwned + (Name of (Owner of Dieing))))
    • Set killer = No Unit
    • Set Dieing = No Unit

well if u have a map with alots of units, then dont display a message for each unit u kill


EDIT: Remove Unessary locals

 

[Squiggy]

• Set killer[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = (Killing unit)
• Set Dying[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = (Triggering unit)

You mean MPI?

 

[Squiggy]

Right - i'm still a bit drunk from yesterday so nevermind

 

[TKF]

I need to get THE caster of locust swarm which kills with his locust, not some silly score system.

 

[Ciebron]

• set Killer[player Number Of (owner Of (killing Unit))] = (killing Unit)
• Set Dying[player Number Of (owner Of (killing Unit))] = (triggering Unit)

Leaks!!!!

 

[terradont]

I guess that comes in second hand, since you can easily change that in shorter triggers after you've solved the actual problem. But it is good to point out leaks i guess.

Add your hero to a variable, and check with this:

• Locust
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Killing unit)) Equal to Locust
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (Name of Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))])

This should do it, if I understand you correctly.

• Set killer[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = (Killing unit)
• Set Dying[Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit))] = (Triggering unit)

In fact, I think you don't need this, once the trigger has no Waits. It's almost instant.
The only leak I'd see in this trigger would be the repeated Player number of (Owner of (Killing Unit)).

To detect the killer, I'd do something similar to this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit spawns a summoned unit
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) equal to Locust
• Actions
  • Set _Integer = _Integer + 1
  • Set _Caster = (Triggering Unit)
  • Set _Unit = (Summoned Unit)
  • Unit - Set _Caster custom value to _Integer
  • Unit - Set _Unit custom value to _Integer
  • Set LocustCaster[_Integer] = _Unit

This way you have given an ID to each locust and to the hero, the custom value.
To detect the hero, do:

• Set _Integer = Custom value of (Killing Unit)

So, LocustCaster[_Integer] is the hero you're looking for.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure if this really works, but I think it can do so. A similar system is used in Monolith, made by Blizzard, to detect the bush effects created by a building.

easy

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit udg_killer
    • Custom script: local unit udg_Dieing
    • Set killer = (Killing unit)
    • Set Dieing = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Score[(Player number of (Owner of killer))] = (Score[(Player number of (Owner of killer))] + 1)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of (Owner of killer)) + ( Pwned + (Name of (Owner of Dieing))))
    • Set killer = No Unit
    • Set Dieing = No Unit

well if u have a map with alots of units, then dont display a message for each unit u kill

Learn when and how to use the local trick, or, better yet, learn JASS.
