A unit enteres a specific terrain, they die.

[Wark]

How do i make it so when a unti enters say, Sand terrain they automatically die?

I have an idea: Quicksand, when a unit enters it, it dies.

Also any suggestions on a effect like "suck under" so the sand sucks the person in, woudl eb helpful, thanx

 

[Jindo]

first make a region where the quicksand will be, then do this trigger:

Events - a unit enters (region)

Conditions - (there is a tile-type condition somewhere, look in boolean comparison)

Actions - kill (triggering unit)

---

Also add a unit-type comparison if you want it to be specific unit.

Hope that helps.

I don't think you CAN suck a unit into the ground, but to make something die when they enter a region, it's simple.

E: A unit enters <Region>
C: <Only put some of these if you want to specific why kind of unit, what player owns the units, etc. etc.>
A: Kill Entering unit.

That's the best I think you'll get...

 

[Wark]

Well in most mazes they have a trigger where when u go off the patch you die.

I jsut cant fidn that condition.

 

[DM Cross]

What condition?

Unit-Type Comparison?

It should be toward the bottom, I believe. They go in ABC order

That condition.

Oh sry i misunder stood your post also Alexander,

About the suck into udnerground, I have an idea, a unit enters the "quicksand" it burrows ( has to be a hidden abiliy) and then dies while burrowed

 

[DM Cross]

Too bad that a Burrowed unit's death animation plays when it dies Thus, it would come up...

And the Burrowing animation is exclusive to units who Burrow was designed for... So it might not look as... Natural? as you want.

Uh, I didn't read his post fully, I've never seen a Tile-type comparison, before...

Then again, what do I know?

 

[Wark]

ok well i found it the condition is:

Terrain-Type Comparison

a couple of catagories from the bottom

hmm too bad about the burrowing, woudl of been cool.

 

[DM Cross]

Hmm

Hey, you could REMOVE the burrowed unit instead of killing it!

No death animation that way.

Ta da! Genius!

Aren't I?

 

[Sud]

Why don't you use the terrain deform effects like the one on shockwave or war stomp on the ground to sink the unit in when it gets to the quicksand

 

[Wark]

Hmm well i just need a trigger now,

Event - Finished....
COndidion - Finished
Action-
If - Unit type equal to (my unit) then do, else do
Then- Add Burrow to triggering unit
* i need another trigger here, one that accually executes the ability
Remove Ability Burrow
Remove Triggering Unit
Else
Nothing


The shockwave would be a cool idea, il check it out.

Kill
Events
Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (((Owner of (Picked unit)) controller) Equal to User) then do (If ((Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Dungeon - Lava) then do (Unit - Kill (Picked unit)) else do (Do nothing)) else do (Do nothing)

Is this what you are looking for?

 

[Wark]

Is this what you are looking for?

Ye thats it, thx.

 

[Wark]

Ok well, theres a problem, I made the trigger every .05 of game time, but there is a VERY large amount of lag, is thre any way to do it with out makign a trigger "every __ seconds"

 

[AgentPaper]

just make regions wherever there is sand, and make a trigger that kills or slows or whatever when a unit enters the region (make a ton of events for all the regions, but same trigger) and then have a wait until unit leaves region and set the unit to normal (unless its something permanent)

 

[Wark]

are you saying theres no other way, then to make thousands (really, thousands) of regions?

 

[Sheep_Quest]

Yes there is...

In my map, (Escape School) i use a revive system like In run kitty run

I used the millions of regions (Sigh) but when the units revived they could walk on the black floor (floor that kills you) because the units didnt enter the regions but revive there so i made this, and as far as i know it works..

Kill at terrain type
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) of type Sandra the fast) and do (If ((Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Dalaran - Black Marble) then do (Unit - Kill (Picked unit)) else do (Do nothing))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 2 (Blue) of type Sofie the small) and do (If ((Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Dalaran - Black Marble) then do (Unit - Kill (Picked unit)) else do (Do nothing))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 3 (Teal) of type Tj the tank) and do (If ((Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Dalaran - Black Marble) then do (Unit - Kill (Picked unit)) else do (Do nothing))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 4 (Purple) of type Roy the blessed) and do (If ((Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Dalaran - Black Marble) then do (Unit - Kill (Picked unit)) else do (Do nothing))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 5 (Yellow) of type Joey The Nerd) and do (If ((Terrain type at (Position of (Picked unit))) Equal to Dalaran - Black Marble) then do (Unit - Kill (Picked unit)) else do (Do nothing))

This picks the units every second and checks if they are on the black floor and instantly kills them if they are...

You need to copy this for each type of (killing) terrain you got in your map


-Edit

Sorry didnt see that you had a solution for the killing units thing

 

[Wark]

yes but im trying to avoid the "every 1.00 seconds", well it looks like i have to make the regions.

 

[Wark]

can i bump this?

 

[Wark]

There is no other way? Every maze out there made all those regions and put them into a trigger?
