                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Kill (Picked Unit)
                    Else - Actions
        Custom script: call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup())

That probably would save lots of work for people making mazes, adding it right above the tips .

Walk off path
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.05 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Player) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Dungeon - Lava
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
                    Else - Actions
                        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup())

Its not working for me... :banghead:

 

[Myzteryz]

its periodic event, not elasted time.

Every 0.5 seconds

 

[Decapatater]

I just tried im_on_56k's kill on contact trigger again and it killed the creeps...

Ghoul
    Events
        Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type Ghoul) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set var1 = (Picked unit)
                Custom script: call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup())
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 80.00 of (Position of var1) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Civilian)) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Set var2 = (Picked unit)
                        Unit - Kill (var2)                       
                        Custom script: call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup())

Here is what I have on my map:

Creep1 kill
    Events
        Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units of type creep1) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set var1 = (Picked unit)
                Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup())
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 20.00 of (Position of var1)) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Set var2 = (Picked unit)
                        Unit - Kill var2
                        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(GetLastCreatedGroup())

 

[Jindo]

between (position of (var1)) and and do you forgot this part:

matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Civilian))

i think that should work

[Xoator]

a nice tutorial

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I'm not sure what the whole objective is here, but I noticed you used zero pathing blockers (or mention of pathing blockers) to control creeps and movement.

Food for thought, with a giant maze you can make a giant custom pathing blocker and tag it to a doodad, which would span a mass area.

 

[Starlite]

Okay so I looked through all of WEU and coudlnt find the terrain type. It just so happens the terrain-type comparison DOES NOT exist in WEU only in normal WE. :banghead:

 

[hadha]

a few regions

well my map is almoast done and i got like.. 156 regions ?
and yes ive not made them small.. anway..
should u make one and one trigger for that or
should i just:

Event: unit enter region 1
unit enter region 2
unit enter region 3
unit enter region 4

Action: kill triggering unit

? or does that work at all ?

That will work, a trigger can have as many (or few) event as you want.

 

[Pyromancer]

could you give me a link to that prison escape map, i coulnt find it.

also, great tut. it should be in the user submitted, or advanced.

 

[Jindo]

prison escape hmm?

I dont know any where that you can download it.

I found it on europe gateway on bnet.

(it dates back to may 2003 )

good luck finding it .

[sapmangat]

very nice tutorial

 

[WarLuvr3393]

Hey Jindo. I just wanted to ask something about the kill the unit when he touches the terrain trigger. When I did a leak check, it said there was a "Point" leak in the trigger. And since it's leaking every .05 seconds it would make the map very very very very laggy in just 1 minute. Anyway to fix this? I'm no good at custom scripts. Thanks in advanced.

 

[Jindo]

hmm, I pretty suck at fixing leaks, maybe if it's changed to every second or something.

btw, a trigger to remove corpses reduces lag an enormous amount .

Hope this helps.

[Demon_Leader]

What about like



POLAR ESCAPE (ice)

 

[Jindo]

I myself, do not understand how to do something like that, but if you search, there's like 1000 people who asked this and it got answered (thank god you didn't start a new thread).

I'll find some links about how to do that and put it on the tut.

If you watch the units closely you see how it is done, and it is not that hard to copy .
Removing the leaks in the trigger was harder for me.

Here is the trigger I use for my map (Im from Germany, so there are some German words, but the Editor isnt that much localised, so you should be able to understand it)

Slide
    Ereignisse
        Zeit - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
    Bedingungen
    Aktionen
        Set unitgrp[0] = (Units of type Paladin)
        Einheitengruppe - Pick every unit in unitgrp[0] and do (Actions)
            Schleifen - Aktionen
                Set unitpos[0] = (Position of (Picked unit))
                If (((Terrain type at unitpos[0]) Gleich Eiskrone-Gletscher - Eis)  then do (Einheit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (unitpos[0] offset by 4.00 towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees)) else do (Do nothing)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_unitpos[0])
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_unitgrp[0])

Note: This trigger will let you slide straight, without beeing able to controll. And you need unitpos[] and unitgrp[] as variables.


To make your units able to skate on the ice you need this one:

Skate
    Ereignisse
        Einheit - A unit Erhält einen auf einen Punkt zielenden Befehl
    Bedingungen
        (Terrain type at (Position of (Triggering unit))) Gleich Eiskrone-Gletscher - Eis
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Ungleich Spieler 12 (Braun)
    Aktionen
        Set Targeted[0] = (Target point of issued order)
        Einheit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Position of (Triggering unit)), facing Targeted[0]
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Targeted[0])

If you need some translation let me know


Btw: nice tutorial, it inspired me to do some boss levels in the escape im working on
