Building capturing

[flaice]

So how can I do a trigger that lets me to capture a building/area? Im making a map where is 6 Control Points, and you have to capture them all to win. And the building/area must be able to capture, if the opposite team owns it.

Thanks already.

e
a unit comes within 200 of YOURBUILDING
c

a
change owner of YOURBUILDING to (owner of(triggering unit/enterning unit)

this would ofcourse become awkward when 2 players are near one building...

you could give a little more info...

If its something where you select the building to control it, you could base it off Charm.

Sorry for the fairly late reply. The code I created may be a bit lengthy but is mostly worth it, take out what you don't need. I like to oversupply. Anyway, heres the code. I attached a map with the triggers in it for copy/paste purposes only, it is not a demo.

Notice! The last line here you'll have to change to be based on your player scheme.

Let me know if this code doesn't work, I'll try to fix it.

 

[Renendaru]

@Zeratuel: Try inserting some loops in there, lengthy codes can be reduced with loops.

 

[ZeratuelX]

I probably should. I never really got too comfortable with loops because I hardly ever use em.

 

[Renendaru]

I like using loops, cause it means less work, and more output.

 

[ZeratuelX]

Heh. Maybe I'll revise the code I gave him in a bit. Right now he's just gonna have to use it as it is.

 

[Renendaru]

And I'm pretty sure, 'Units within range' and stuff leaks.

 

[cleeezzz]

you can check out my small system

http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=91114&highlight=Capture+Mod

includes capture bars as well.

>'Units within range'
yes it creates a group.

 

[ZeratuelX]

Wow, that system looks nice. I won't even try to compete with that.

 

[flaice]

Ty very much! I havent got time to test 'em yet, but I think I will do it today.

Edit: More information about what im looking for:
So I need trigger that you can only capture few buildings/areas, not all of the buildings, also only heroes should be able to capture them, and if possible, as more allied heroes there is, the faster building/area will be captured.

 

[flaice]

Bump! Help anyone?

 

[Levdragon]

Hmm I dunno if this is what your looking for but...

Event:Unit is attacked
Condition:Life of (Triggering Unit) Equal to or Lesser than (Health)
:Unit Type of (Attacked Unit) Equal to (Control Point?? Whatever the name of your building is.)
Actions:Change owner of (Attacked Unit) to Owner of (Attacking Unit) and change color.
:Set life of (Attacked Unit) to (Value.)

This will basicly make it so if the specific building is attacked and goes below % health it will change ownership to the attacking player and its health back to max. I'm not sure about the hero thing but I hope this is what you need.

 

[flaice]

I think it is, I don't have time to try it now, but I will tomorrow. I'll post my comments here then.

 

[cleeezzz]

if your planning on using my system, just go to the capture trigger, and under the Unit Group - Pick All units in (forgot what group) then theres an IF/THEN/ELSE

just remove all the other conditions and add, Unit is a hero.

and for certain buildings, you can modify the 1st few triggers to exclude some buildings. for example... make the buildings you want capture-able have a point value of 1000, then in the building initialize triggers, add a condition where point value of building is 1000, then only the ones you want will be captureable.

 

[flaice]

I think your trigger is way too complicated for me :/

Hmm I dunno if this is what your looking for but...

Event:Unit is attacked
Condition:Life of (Triggering Unit) Equal to or Lesser than (Health)
:Unit Type of (Attacked Unit) Equal to (Control Point?? Whatever the name of your building is.)
Actions:Change owner of (Attacked Unit) to Owner of (Attacking Unit) and change color.
:Set life of (Attacked Unit) to (Value.)

This will basicly make it so if the specific building is attacked and goes below % health it will change ownership to the attacking player and its health back to max. I'm not sure about the hero thing but I hope this is what you need.

It works, if not many units arent attacking it. If theres like 10 units attacking it, and I set it to change team when hp is below 50, then it gets destroyed.

 

[flaice]

Bump! Oh cmon... Help me someone!

 

[Levdragon]

Alright than try this one i whipped up

Events:When a unit dies
Conditions: Dying unit equals to (Unit)
Actions:Create 1 (Unit) for Owner of Killing Unit facing Blah blah non important

thats what I posted last time but instead when this one gets destoryed it will appear again. Again im not sure about the hero thing.
