Worker Build System

[Ofel]

I need a system for my map i working on...

My map is AoS, battle between 2 races : The Human and The Orc. Each race have 3 bases and every base have 1 primary structure (Town Hall).

The system must do this :
- If a structure destroy (exclude primary structure), the system will detect which base that contain the destroyed structure.
- The primary structure in that base will creates (need time or instant) worker(s) and build again the destroyed structure like before.
- If the worker dies, then create again.
- If the structure has builded, then the worker will gone (but not gone instantly, you know what i mean, right ?)

I was hoping that the worker number can be easily to configure...

Credits to people that help me and +Rep....

Quick question/suggestion: if a building is destroyed, units can then walk where it used to be, which makes it difficult for builders to rebuild it. How about leaving an impassable pile of rubble when a building gets destroyed?

If you want to leave something, it's up to you, but make sure it's unwalkable, not visible, unselectable and invulnerable.

Oh, yeah i'm sorry, i mean unwalkable !

I have a question, too :
When we set a location, we must remove it. But before remove it, i want to save it on hashtable. Does it leaks ??

impassable means unwalkable, that you cannot walk over it...

rulerofiron99 need to do this because when the building is destroyed, units near the building might move to the spot where the building is standing, thus the worker might not be able to rebuild the building...

EDIT :

i'm afraid saving a location into hashtable would cause the world editor to stop working... or is it only me ?

 

[rulerofiron99]

I've never tried saving locations to hashtables, but you could do this:

Set location = position of unit
Set x = X of location
Set y = Y of location
Hashtable - save x as 1 of key of unit
Hashtable - save y as 2 of key of unit
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_location)

EDIT: Another idea I just had that will make this system much simpler, what if instead of allowing structures to die, when its about to take fatal damage, we make it invulnerable and disable spawning/etc triggers associated with it, and then dispatch peasants/peons to repair it.

 

[Ofel]

Oh... yeah I've never think that....

You mean make the dying structure to becomes invulnerable ?? If so, how can the enemy destroy the building ??

The point would be that buildings don't die; but they become useless all the same until repaired.

 

[Ofel]

Ok.... can you make it for me...

I am so busy right now...Even i can continue editing my map !!

So is it okay the way I described?
