Random Heros

[ianu74]

Sorry, but I've searched through the forums and tried triggers on my map, but they can't seem to work.

I followed the trigger for randoming in http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/herotavern.php

    • Set Hero[19] = Snow Witch
    • Set Hero[20] = Raider
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 20, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set RandomData[(Integer A)] = (Integer A)

I followed the triggers but i get the same sequence, Avenger, Earth titan, Lighting shaman.... over and over again, and up to a certain number of times, the hero repeats.

I want to make a random system that only allows one type of the hero per game. Any idea on how i can do that?

in the upper left corner of WE click on file -> preferences -> test map -> uncheck the box "use fixed random seed"

 

[ianu74]

Okay... now there's no sequence, but there may be more than 1 of the same hero type on the map. Any idea on how to solve that too?

 

[kaboo]

the random command you made creates same hero types or you can pick the same hero?

 

[ianu74]

It creates the same hero type. I want it to only create 1 and if there is already one of that type, it does not create that.

 

[kaboo]

i dont see any problem there, it should work as you want, the problem has to be somewhere else

 

[Nenad]

Hm, i don't see any problems but you could add an if/then/else action:

• If - Unit-type of picked unit is in playable map area
  • Then - Set random_hero (Random_hero + 1)
    • - Run (this trigger)
  • Else - Unit - Create 1 Hero[RandomData[Random_Hero]] for (Triggering player) at (Center of Hero Spawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

Free hand sorry, but something in those lines should prevent it x)

You know some Jass? -->
1.)Make a loop
2.)Set your random number first
3.)Check if there is already a unit of that type on the map
4.)exit the loop if there is none
5.)endloop
finally: call Create that unit

The guy above me did that, but he put the trigger itself in a loop and the exitwhen condition is a if-then-else, well, you can do it that way but I would prefer the other method. Just be sure you don't get an infinite loop^^

You dont need to know JASS.
No offense, but you dont need to shove it into our GUI faces.


EDIT:Sorry, that wont work.

 

[Rushhour]

Yeah first I wanted to write it myself in jass, but then I decided that it's better for him to do it himself. Forgot to remove the "you know jass"^^
(Well, you don't have the "exitwhen" statement, so you either need to do many loops like 1-100 to be sure a random unit that doesn't exist was picked or
you have to add it in a CustomScript. And this would be "JASS" )

Use the Random system in the Dota Template, it's a none looping random system.
