Yet additional Triggering Problems

[343-GuiltySpark]

Sorry for the messed up triggers. I just don't know how to write them in the site well. I'm a newbie. Hopefully you can understand them.



1.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
  • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Rod of Necro...
  • Actions
  • Unit - Change ownership of (Summoned unit) to Neutral Passive
  • Unit - Order (Summoned unit) to Attack (Triggering unit)

There's this pile of corpses, from which I can raise corpses with

the Rod. I want the raised units to turn into the neutral side and

attack the user of the Rod. However, this trigger won't do it.

Where did I go wrong?

2. I need to explain the following trigger (or should I say

triggers. There are 2) before I present it. There's a field with

lots of trees. In that atmosphere there's a task. You must

ressurect a single dead tree. If you do so, there's a unit called

"Nature Keeper" who will then destroy a gate for you to progress.

However, if you destroy a single tree, he will kill you

• The Good Result
  • Events
  • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • ((Last created destructive) is dead) Equal to False
  • Actions
  • Unit - Order Nature Keeper 0010 <gen> to Move To (Center
• of Open Door <gen>
  • Animation - Play Nature Keeper 0010 <gen>'s attack
• animation
  • Wait 1.50 seconds
  • Destructive - Kill Icy Gate (Vertical) 0434 <gen>

I have a feeling I need to choose a different Condition, yet I

don't know which to use. I don't even know if the rest of the

trigger is correct.

• The Bad Result
  • Events
  • Destructive - A destructive within The Tree Area <gen>
• dies
  • Actions
  • Unit - Order Nature Keeper 0010 <gen> to Attack Escaper
• 0000 <gen>
  • Sound - Play KeeperOfTheGroveYesAttack3 <gen> at 100%
• volume, attached to Nature Keeper 0010 <gen>

The Actions are working fine. The problem is that it take a few

trees to die so the Actions will occoure. I use an Area of Effect

spell to kill a tree just so you know.

3. I want to make a critter cage. It doesn't work. I want multiple

types of units not to cross a specific Region.

• Events
  • Unit - a unit enters Critter Cage 1 <gen>
  • Unit - a unit enters Critter Cage 1 b <gen>
  • Conditions
  • I don't know which condition to use Equal to True
  • Actions
  • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Random point in
• Critter Prison <gen>)

Help will be highly appreciated! I won't appreciate with just words, but with reputation too!

1) You actually need a Raise Dead detection system to change the ownership properly. I'd do this:

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Unit - A unit uses an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Rod of Necromancy
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Neutral Passive) at Point1 facing default building degrees
  • Unit - Add Raise Dead (dummy) to (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Necromancer - Raise Dead
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

2) Currently, there is no default way to detect what unit killed which destructible. Simply add a Harvest ability and change the Data - Damage dealt to Tree to an amount that any tree will die once you hit it, so use 99999. Then, use

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order targeting an object
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) Equal to (order(smart))
• Actions
  • Set Destructible = (Target destructible of issued order)

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Harvest
• Actions
  • Wait 0.10 seconds
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Destructible is dead) Equal to True //Boolean Comparison
    • Then - Actions
      • //Actions
    • Else - Actions
      • Destructible - Open Gate

The above trigger is not MUI. If you want a MUI version, let me know.

3) Choose Unit-type comparison

• (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not Equal to Critter

Gee, thanks! Even though I don't know what to do in my 2nd problem, I have my 1st and last done thanks to you!

About the 2nd problem.. it's hard for me to understand it. Which is the "bad" trigger and which is the "good"? Sorry for the misunderstanding.


By the way, why when you, in the last trigger, make a condition saying that the unit is not equal to a critter and doesn't work if I say the unit IS a critter?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Because you had already added the actions for a unit that is not a critter or at least I think so. If you used "Equal to", you would need to specify the opposite actions of the ones you typed there.

Ok, I'll forget about the 2nd trigger for now! Thanks alot for your help! Highly appreciated!

I can't add Reputation because I already added one point for you, and I need to spread some more reputation to other people if I want to add one to you again.
