Counting Dead Unit Type

[21ToWin]

How do I count the number of a dead unit type with an integer?

I'm not good with integers lol.

 

[demotry241]

a unit dies



variable = variable + 1

 

[21ToWin]

Is this right?

Creep Death Count Copy
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Dead_Creeps = (Dead_Creeps + 1)

I got that. But now how do I base a trigger off the variable. I want a condition based on if the Dead_Creeps integer hits 240,

Create another trigger with no event, and add to your Creep Death Count Copy
trigger the action: Trigger - Run Creep Death Count 240 (Or whatever your trigger is called).

Add a condition to the new trigger, checking to see if Dead_Creeps == 240.

Do you think you can give me an example?

Trigger X

Event - 
A unit dies

Conditions -

Actions - 
Set (Your Variable) to ((Your Variable) + 1)
Trigger Run - Run Trigger Y checking conditions

-----------------

Trigger Y

Event -

Conditions - (Your Variable) is greater than or equal to (#)

Actions -
Whatever you're planning

What for?

Just add some "if then" to the one that is already counting...

I got the integer stuff working right but now i have a big problem. I'm using this for a TD.

Whenever a creep dies the Dead_Creep integers gets + 1.

But the game cant seem to count all the creeps dieing.

When 240 creeps died the integer only goes up to 142.

How can I fix this?

If the units are dieing too fast for the integer to tally, what is another more efficient way to keep track of the number of a dead unit type?

Trust me, that's not the problem here. Your computer can handle a LOT more than you think it can.

Do you have any other triggers that use the Dead_Creep variable?

Do you have any other triggers that activate when a unit dies?

Post all triggers that are related in any way to your problem.

just a suggestion, since its aTD, i guess this is for moving on to the next level, why not count living units? when this hits 0, you start a timer, wich in term fires the next wave...

as for the dead problem...whats the init value of this intger? or ehm, add a line like this to your count trigger, aand kill the creeps slowly with abuilder with 9999 dmg

e
unit dies
c
owner of unit = creepowner
a
set counter = counter+1
game - display the to all players the message - unit killed
