Quest triggers help

[Mcbeazy]

Ok so Below I put a category from a quest I am working on. I ran into some problems and wondered if anyone could spot it because I have no idea. Firstly, unlike all my other quests, this exclamation point I give the character does not go away for some reason. Also, when I am removing one item and dropping another, It does not remove the item from the hero's inventory. Finally when I turnt he quest in I receive none of the rewards.....My previous quest is modeled almost the same way and works just fine... Thoughts?

use WC3 tags around your code

wtf?

• ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Venom)

you need to enable antivenom[1] quest in the previous trigger

• (AntiVenom[1] is enabled) Equal to True

in that trigger, there is no hero manipulating item
the event is a unit comes within 200 of DewShine...

• Set DewshineComplete[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] = (DewshineComplete[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] + 1)

your group leaks

there is no hero manipulating the item, as stated above the event is different

• Player - Add 200 to (Owner of (Item being manipulated)) Current gold

useless conditon:

• ((Triggering unit) Equal to (Hero manipulating item))

you need to specify exactly which item.. make an item variable and put the AntiDote in that variable

• Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)

only use Hero manipulating item in the conditions/actions if the event is related to anything about item...

haha..now I feel stupid...I didn't notice I did that to be honest. I was skrewing with this on no sleep, but also I have not done many posts how do I WC tag? and also, That mistake doesn't effect two of the stupid problems I am having. I am sure I effed up somewhere else too, but I can't see it. jJust need fresh eyes I think.

Oh, thanks lol, posted as I posted. I will change those, I have not been doing triggers for very long so sometimes I get confused with where I am going with it.

Ok so I changed all of those, and hopefully now that I get it this is more on track. Now that I did this though, my region event where venom turns into anti-venom doesn't work at all. It doesn't display txt, It doesn't make the anti-dote, and it doesn't remove item....ugh I am so lost :banghead: I am doing something horribly wrong

EDIT: accidentally messed up the pasting some how

 

[jig7c]

now that you got the WC3 tag thing down, lets work on posting the correct triggers...

you have 6 of the same triggers...

the condition in the above 6 triggers are screwed up...

from:
((Triggering unit) Equal to (Hero manipulating item)) and ((Item being manipulated) Equal to (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Antidote))

to:
(Item-type carried by (Triggering unit) equal to Antidote)

 

[Mcbeazy]

lol, ya not sure what I did, but it dud the same one 6 times on accident noticed, and changed =) sorry about that lol.

 

[jig7c]

in your first trigger...

wtf? shouldn't it be Last Created Effect

• Set QuestEffects[1] = QuestEffects[1]

in your second trigger... (i'm actually not familiar with quest..) but is there an action that says Enable Quest? if so, you need to

• Enable AntiVenom[1]

in your fourth trigger, in the conditions

• Antivenom2[1] Equal to Venom

what does that mean?
and
Set Point = (Center of Region 015 <gen>)
...actions... replace all the (Center of Region 015 <gen>) with the location variable Point
Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)

in your fifth trigger
replace this:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Hero - Add 250 experience to (Triggering unit), Show level-up graphics
    • Player - Add 200 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

with:

• Set Tempgroup = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Tempgroup) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Hero - Add 250 experience to (Picked unit), Show level-up graphics
      • Player - Add 200 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Tempgroup)
  • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Thank you for all of your help! I just got on and checked, and almost everything works properly now, the only thing that doesnt is the experience to heroes portion. I don't know how to do JASS or anything like that, so not sure what I am supposed to do from here.
