A summoned corpse shop

[MrCrowley]

Im making a trigger for a hunter and a deer.
(deer = stag)

The idea is that when a hunter kills a deer, he will be able to loot the
"dead deers body". Heres how i plan to do it: Ill make another unit with
the deers decay flesh animation as its required animation. When the regular
deer dies, the deer (corpse) will spawn at its location facing its same degree
for 30 seconds. Meaning that the deer (corpse) must be a summoned unit
and have to be a store, so that the hunter can "loot" the items.

so:

1)How to a set the deers animation as decay corpse (having issues 0_o)
2)How do i make the deer a summoned unit with a specific time limit
3)How do i make the deer a store
4)I havnt written the trigger yet, but constructive criticism is welcomed

well,
event: a unit dies
condition: unit type equal to deer
actions: set position of triggering unit = TempPoint
create a deer (Shop) at TempPoint facing triggering units facing
add expiration timer 30.00 seconds to last created unit
play last created units decay,flesh animation
remove triggering unit from the game
removelocation (udg_TempPoint)

handwritten but i think it should explain the way to go.

Use Accname's trigger, but remove the triggering unit immediatly after setting the point variable. Otherwise, the shop will appear right next to the deer's corpse instead of on the spot.

Why not simply drop item (Guessing it's something like Deer's hide?) upon death?

 

[TyrealFEAR]

he want the hunter to choose out of a group of items
-question
whats to stop the hunter from trying to grab all he can b4 timmer runs out?

 

[esb]

In that case use a dialog?

 

[MrCrowley]

Um can i have a little more help with the trigger?...because i suck
with triggers. Ive always had this problem. When i try to add the event,
unit - dies, it always makes me state what unit...otherwise it stays red
and doesnt let me add the event. So do i make a variable? I only have RoC
btw

Why not simply drop item (Guessing it's something like Deer's hide?) upon death?

Agh thats so over used, i wanted to incorporate something new into my map.
This ways a bit more realistic too, and you dont see 2 or 3 treasure chests
pop up, it really feels like your stripping the deer?

I dont see a reason to stop the hunter. Doesnt it make sense that
the hunter can strip all of the items from the deer? ex) hide, meat, antlers.

Besides the only things you can do with these items are either sell them or
combine them to make other items. Im making an RPG

 

[esb]

Well, I wouldn't use treasure chest models. You can change them to something else, like corpse models. A store opening up after every kill doesn't seem too realistic either though.

 

[MrCrowley]

<--*doesnt know how to do that*
But dont think of it as a store? Think of it as the deers body.

Im going to try to put a wait between when the deers death animation
hits the ground, and when i spawn the store so that you cant even notice
the store spawned. It would look and seem like you can click at the deers
dead body, and "buy" the things you want to strip from it.

For the reccord, I think it's a wonderful idea mate :thup:
I'd help you trigger it, but I can't atm. If it isn't solved by tomorrow I'll give it a go

 

[Accname]

ok heres the whole trigger system for this shop:
this is the trigger to spawn the shop. the dead deer body got random items!

        Unit - Create 1 Deer for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint facing (Facing of (Triggering Unit)) degrees
        Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
        Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s death animation
        Neutral Building - Add Antler to (Last created unit) with (Random integer number between 0 and 1) in stock and a max stock of 5
        Neutral Building - Add Hide to (Last created unit) with (Random integer number between 0 and 3) in stock and a max stock of 5
        Neutral Building - Add Hoof to (Last created unit) with (Random integer number between 0 and 4) in stock and a max stock of 5
        Unit - Add a 25.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

This trigger switches the items bought from the deers body to the real items. you have got to do so or you wont be able to sell the items because their gold/lumber costs are 0.

This trigger removes the shop units after their expiration timer runs out.
