How do i make regular units to be purchased like mercenaries.

sunshinex3 · Sep 30, 2016

mercenaries can be purchased 3 at a time or so on with a cool down that starts rolling in the back ground i want to do that for some player units(zerg race) but i don't how and i can't find any thing on the subject...

Stats - Stock Maximum
Stats - Stock Replenish Inter...
Stats - Stock Start Delay

I have filled these 3 fields in? What else do I need?

Accname · Oct 1, 2016

You need to go to the building that trains the units. There are separate fields for units that are being trained and units that are being sold (as mercenaries).

sunshinex3 · Oct 1, 2016

yes that works, but now their requirements aren't in effect... why can't it ever be easy. thank you for your help.

sunshinex3 · Oct 1, 2016

well that sux, found nothing of value, looking into a replace / disable trigger

Accname · Oct 1, 2016

Well the WC3 engine is an enigma. Rules usually do not follow logic or reason there.

sunshinex3 · Oct 2, 2016

do you think their is some way to, disable enable "sold units"

Accname · Oct 3, 2016

There is in fact a way, I just tested it out.

Give your barracks the ability "Sell Unit" [Asud]. Remove all units from the list of units sold by your barracks. It should not sell nor train any units.
Instead, use the trigger action:

Trigger:

Neutral Building - Add UNIT to BARRACKS with NUMBER in stock and a max stock of NUMBER

to add the units to your barracks. All units added this way can be removed with:

Trigger:

Neutral Building - Remove UNIT from BARRACKS

man, use wc3 tags and indentation.

sunshinex3 · Nov 9, 2016

sry would you give me an example, of the tags.

jonas · Nov 10, 2016

Just reply to Accname's posts using the "Reply" button, you'll see how it's done

sunshinex3 · Nov 10, 2016

ah yes ty

you still need proper indentation - just copy and paste the triggers from the map again

balls what am i missing i did the [ wc3]trigger[/wc3 ]

jonas · Nov 11, 2016

No idea, but it's still impossible to read (we don't even know where the else clauses are ending). Maybe you could try [ code ]... [/ code ] as a workaround.

sunshinex3 · Nov 12, 2016

i think its such a long trigger it wont effectively show on this website

Accname · Nov 12, 2016

There is couple of things to note:
1) To get proper indention on your trigger you need to actually put some whitespaces in your code. If you copy the code from the editor the whitespaces should be correct already.
2) Your trigger is leaking memory quite heavily. There are numerous memory leaks which will create lag in your map after this trigger has run too many times. (each run of the trigger takes away some of your memory permanently). Do a google search on memory leaks and how to avoid them.
3) You should not be using "Dying unit". Replace "Dying unit" with "Triggering Unit" everywhere.
4) I would recommend getting the system to work in a small test map first with a single unit type. Then, expand on that and keep testing to make sure things still work out.

sunshinex3 · Nov 12, 2016

i found the problem, i need a condition that counts units of a certain type, not all units

How do i make regular units to be purchased like mercenaries.
