Yet again another build question

So im close to fixing my big anoying problem.. its been made smaller atleast hehe


So i have a snippet which detects something when a unit is done with a construction (wont go into details here as it doesnt matter). but when a player is shift + placing buildings. the peasants goes to fast into the next building in line (so fast that my snippet cant catch it and detect its position).
I tried with a little 1 second wait, but due to lagg and desync and small things like that, will make the build time vary with +-0.1 sec or so..

So i came up with this genious idea lol, to make the unit pause for 0.5 seconds or something after finished construction. but how do i do that?

I tried this:
Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes construction
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)
But dont think its fast enough before he goes into the new building.




If this cant be done then:


How do i disable Shift building heh..?

Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins construction
    Conditions
    Actions
        Wait until ((Life of (Constructing structure)) Equal to (Max life of (Constructing structure))), checking every 0.10 seconds
        Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)
That maybe?

Relook it now.
It's saying:
Wait until [Current Life] = [Max Life], checking every 0.10 seconds.

Set the Wait to a longer time just for debug purposes to see if it even pauses the unit.

EDIT: Made a test map, it doesn't even pause the worker.

Mine built a tower, but didn't pause.

EDIT: Interesting, look at this:
Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins construction
    Conditions
    Actions
        Wait until ((Life of (Constructing structure)) Equal to (Max life of (Constructing structure))), checking every 0.10 seconds
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: Done
        Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        Wait 3.00 seconds
        Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)
It says 'Done' when you start constructing, not when you're done constructing.

Gahh, I can't seem to find how to do it :banghead: .

By the way, your original trigger doesn't even pause the worker...
I think it's "Triggering Unit" that's messing it up.

    Recently tried out ChatGPT about WE triggering. Wow it's capable of giving a somewhat legitimate response.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure it has read all the info on the forums here
  • The Helper The Helper:
    i think triggering is just scripting and chatgpt is real good at code
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Yeah I suppose so. It's interesting how it can explain in so much detail.
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    But yet it won't work.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    it does a bad ass job doing excel vba code it has leveled me up at my job when I deal with excel that is for sure
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Nice! I love Excel coding as well. Has always been using Google to help me. Maybe I'll use ChatGPT next time when I need it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    yeah whatever it puts out even if it is not perfect I can fix it and the latest version of chatgpt can create websites from pictures it will not be long until it can do that with almost all the tools

    A lot more low quality content, a lot more half-baked stuff.
  • jonas jonas:
    If you're good enough to spot the mistakes of the answers you don't need it in the first place. If you aren't good enough, you're gonna rely on some half-correct stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    the earlier AI is and has been used extensively for publishing news and other content for a while now
  • jonas jonas:
    I used to be active on quora, it's now flooded with extremely similar, superficial answers that often miss the point of the question
