3 Problems

[Max]

I'm having 3 problems in my map

1. In Hero-Defense, everyone gains EXP at the same time (unless of course if they don't die)
Yet for some reason, one of my heroes is gaining way ahead even if it dies 5 times or more yet still it surpasses everyone
I never even change the values in Gameplay Constants
So my question is... Does models affects the EXP gain???
Coz the hero I am having trouble is the Evil Illidan model

2. I made a hero with a flying dragon model, set it as targeted as Ground, set it to Hover-movement and change the height so that it will look like flying yet it won't fly off the obstacle I made
Yet still it grinds with the floor...
What value should I specifically change in order to make it float in the air?

3. My spell trigger is having a problem in the

Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Variable-Thingy)

My variables are correct yet still whenever I save my map it always says error
Does anybody encountered a problem like this???


Thanks in advance

1. models shouldnt cause an issue with exp gain at all.

3. variables cant have dashes, so that'd be mistake number one. is it the correct variable type?

 

[Max]

1. Okay... Just really wondering why it level up so quickly and I thought maybe the model affected it

3. That's not the variable I used
Its just an example

 

[Flare]

hmmm, post up your code so i can take a look at why its causing an error.

I'm using one of hell_knight99's spells so credit to him

The trigger goes like this:
The B01S4_Point is the one which is causing the error

Did you base all the Hero's off of the same initial one and just change the model file or did you use all different heros?

 

[Max]

What I did is I created a Hero then change its stats to my liking
After that I just copy the Hero again and change its value depending on which model I like to use
So I copied the Art-Elevation-Sample Radius, Art-Animation-Cast Point and any other stats of the original Evil Illidan into my own created Evil Illidan

 

[Flare]

try renaming the variable in Variable Editor. i cant see any difference between when you set it and when you removed it... also, what error does it give you?

 

[Jay_Dubbs]

I would then check the abilities you gave the one hero that is giving you problems and see if it gives a bonus for exp gain or an increase in one of the stats.

 

[AceHart]

> Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_B01S4_Offset)

You sure that's a group?

Also, I'd recommend choosing some better variable names...



Have a look at the "art - elevation" settings on some flier, and compare them to your Hero.

>>>Yea~ I just realized why did I write Offset instead of Group
So I change it and no errors appears and now it works properly

>>>My variable names goes from A01S5_Caster up to D12S5_ZLoc
I find it much easier to read

>>>I checked and seems that some of my heroes have 30.00 in Art - Elevation, some have 50.00 and Evil Illidan has 100.00

-Thanks for pointing out that one about the Offset AceHart

try renaming the variable in Variable Editor. i cant see any difference between when you set it and when you removed it... also, what error does it give you?

>>>It finally works the moment I change the Offset

-Thanks for the help Flare

I would then check the abilities you gave the one hero that is giving you problems and see if it gives a bonus for exp gain or an increase in one of the stats.

>>>That spell trigger doesn't go with the Evil Illidan hero
So I don't think thats the case with the fast EXP gain

 

[X-maul]

sure that the xp proplem isnt a "game constant" proplem?

if not i'm not sure that theres an way to change it unless you create an xp rate trigger for the triggering hero...

 

[Max]

I've double-check it and HeroXpGained-Global Distribution and HeroXpGained-Max Level Heroes Drain XP are the only constants I changed...

The rest of the HeroXpGained-Values are in default setting

 

[Jay_Dubbs]

What are the abilities and/or upgrades that are used by the Evil Illidan that you gave in OE?

 

[Max]

I didn't give any upgrade to the Evil Illidan model
I gave him Life Drain, Cleaving Attack, Endurance Aura and Carrion Swarm and also Attribute Bonus

 

[Jay_Dubbs]

Well unless Attribute bonus affects exp. gain, I am stumped.
