unit that gets stronger with more kills?

[TheRat]

I'm trying to make a trigger to make it so when a tower gets 25 kills, it upgrades into a stronger tower.

I'm trying to make a variable so that it will be equal to the value of the number of units a tower has killed, but I don't know how to do that.

Can someone tell me how to do that, or perhaps a better way to do this?

 

[Drakens]

Event:
   Unit Dies
Conditions:
   Killing unit = Your Tower
Actions:
   Set TowerKills = TowerKills +1
   If TowerKills = 25
     Then do
       Replace Your Tower with Your Upgrade Tower
     Else do nothing

Maybe that works... but only if you have 1 tower.

 

[Goauld]

When a unit dies, check for killing unit's unit-type and set killing unit's custom value to custom value of killing unit + 1. Then if-then-else if custom value of killing unit equal to 25 then replace killing unit with upgraded tower.

Edit: Yeah, that trigger but with custom values and it works for all towers.

 

[TheRat]

I can see that this will work, but is there anyway to have it be upgraded instead of replaced? I'd like to keep the animation if possible.

 

[Drakens]

Maybe creating a dummy worker and ordering him to create the upgraded building? (After you detete the old one...)
And i'm not sure if you can order to "Build Building", or you can try using the "Summon Building" item ability...

Not really if you don't want to show the upgrade icon to be able to be pressed. You could have the upgrade require some dummy unit which name's 25 kills, and then it will say - Requires 25 kills. Of course add to your tower that it upgrades to that tower. Then have the actions be instead of replacing:

set temp_point = center of map
Create 1 25 kills (dummy) for owner of killing unit at temp_point
Order killing unit to upgrade (can't say the exact one now, don't have WE up)
Remove last created unit
custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point)

ok um
2 parts
u'll need to mkae a variable interger
trigger:

fsddf
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
(Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit))
Actions
Set help = (help + 1)

and then

Untitled Trigger 002
Events
Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Cannon Tower
Actions
Unit - Set Level of Attribute Bonus for (Triggering unit) to (help / 15)

 

[Evote]

that good?>

 

[Nigerianrulz]

Unit - Set Level of Attribute Bonus for (Triggering unit) to (help / 15)

What is this? towers dont have Attribute Bonus ability im not sure if there is an action telling buildings to upgrade but might be anyway Drakens' trigger should work if there is an upgrade actions
As for Evote you shouldnt bump this topic the owner will decide if he wants to reply or not

Well, I think out of all the other ways to do this, this is one of them.

Firstly, you'll have to create some variables.

Kills_of_tower : Integer Variable

EVENTS
A unit Dies
CONDITIONS
ACTIONS
Set Kills_of_tower = Kills_of_tower + 1

Then, add this trigger.

ACTIONS
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      If - Conditions
          Kills_of_tower Equal to 25
      Then - Actions
          Unit - Order (Matching Unit) to train/upgrade to a [Unit that will be upgraded from the tower that has 25 kills]
       Else - Actions
          Do nothing

So whenever the kill of the tower reaches 25, it will order the tower which is matching the condition (kills_of_tower = 25) to upgrade into a unit that you want.

Also, another way, is using nigerianrulz's way. You can set the ability "Attribute Bonus" to a non-hero ability. Then add this abiltiy to all your towers. Then, set two triggers:

• A unit dies
• Set the skill level of "Attribute Bonus" of Killing Unit to 25

Then, create another trigger.

• Skill "Attribute Bonus" level equal to 25
• Create a unit to upgrade triggering unit

P.S Sorry I didn't do any triggers, I was doing this part w/e WE. PSPS!

EVOTE, you Double-Posted! *HeHe*

Just use the replace. I don't see why you can't

 

[Ryuu]

I think what he really wants is the upgrade effects, like the "Upgrade Complete" voice when you normally upgrade a tower. Also another effect is the build time. Maybe he already set all the build time in the towers and now you said to replace it.. isn't it a waste of effort cuz he already set all the build time?!

 

[dariidar]

Variables seem like the best way to deal with this. But instead of replacing the towers, can't you just allow it to upgrade X upgrades?

 

[Andrewgosu]

Initialize the towers.

Initialize Towers
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set GuardTowerArray[1] = Guard Tower (Level 2)
        Set GuardTowerArray[2] = Guard Tower (Level 3)
        Set GuardTowerArray[3] = Guard Tower (Level 4)
        Set GuardTowerArray[4] = Guard Tower (Level 5)

The following trigger uses point values of the towers. Change them to: 1 for level 1 Guard Tower, 2 for level 2 Guard Tower etc.

Upgrade Towers
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Unit-type of (Killing unit)) Equal to Guard Tower (level 1)
                (Unit-type of (Killing unit)) Equal to Guard Tower (level 2)
                (Unit-type of (Killing unit)) Equal to Guard Tower (level 3)
                (Unit-type of (Killing unit)) Equal to Guard Tower (level 4)
                (Unit-type of (Killing unit)) Equal to Guard Tower (level 5)
    Actions
        Unit - Set the custom value of (Killing unit) to ((Custom value of (Killing unit)) + 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Custom value of (Killing unit)) mod 25) Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Order (Killing unit) to train/upgrade to a GuardTowerArray[(Point-value of (Killing unit))]
            Else - Actions

Basically, it orders the killing unit to upgrade into a better tower every time it reaches 25 kills.

 

[guitarplay]

better as in what. You could probably just use attributes. Set it so at 25 kills instead of upgrading just give it so many strength, agility, and intelligence. (does it have to be a hero to take attributes?)

Maby take a hero, give it the model and icon of a tower. Attack of a tower. And make it immobile. Then you could use levels if you made the experience correspond and everything so that at 25 kills of footmen it went up, or at 20 kills of footmen, and 2 or 3 kills of like knights. Or 15 kills of knights it would level up. I don't know. Just the only way i can think of without actually upgrading the tower.

Isn't that just like my trigger I mentioned above?
