aaaand I wanted to end my map with a cinematic but...

[Enzyte]

I know, I've promised that I'm done, but I really wanted a simple cinematic when every quest is done. =/

So after you receive the 3 quest items (which completes the last quest) A boss will spawn and you have to kill it. When you kill the boss, there should be a cinematic.
So here is my victory trigger (The cinematic works fine, I've tested it)

• Trigger victory
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Dying unit) Equal to boss
  • Actions
    • Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)
    • Cinematic - Turn on letterbox mode (hide interface) for (All players): fade out over 1.00 seconds
    • etc...

The 'boss' variable has a unit type which is the summoned boss. The boss is a Dreadlord itself which count as a hero.

Thats not a question.

Thats not a question.

Well, it's not working. When I kill the 'boss' nothing is happening.

Put a debug message in your map and check the content of the variable "boss".
Also, use triggering unit instead of dying unit. Its much more reliable.

Is your trigger enabled?
Is it initially on?
(Check the checkbox's right at the top in the trigger, if turned off (any of them) will stop the trigger from running)

 

[O.A]

You could use;

• (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Dreadlord

instead of storing anything in a variable. If you store something in a variable, i would rather store the unit itself;

• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Dreadlord for Neutral Hostile at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Set boss = (Last created unit)

Edit: Man, you guys post fast

 

[Enzyte]

Is your trigger enabled?
(Check the left checkbox right at the top in the trigger)

It is.

Put a debug message in your map and check the content of the variable "boss".

What do you mean by checking the content of the variable?
Also I've tried it with triggering unit but it's the same.

I have

• Config
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set lizardguy = Lightning Lizard 0025 <gen>

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Dying unit) Equal to lizardguy
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ghgh

and it works.

The only thing I can think of is your variable isn't set properly OR your trigger is disabled

  • Set boss = (Last created unit)

Well I have used

• Trigger SpawnBoss
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Zombie Summoner for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of SpawnBoss <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Set boss = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Hide boss

Later when you finish the quest the 'boss' will 'unhide' which is working as well

First of all, change the "dying unit" to "triggering unit". Dying unit only works as long as there is a corpse on the ground. Some units do not even leave a corpse. Its not reliable.

Next, change your trigger in the following way:
Events
Unit - A unit dies
Conditions
Actions
Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Boss))

And then see if it displays the correct name when you kill your boss.

I disagree, even if a unit doesn't leave a corpse, dying unit will always refer to the "dead" unit.
Also use [wc3][/wc3] tags accn00b!

Ahha! It's working now. The name was wrong somehow... =/
Well, thank you again

Oh really, maybe this has changed by now. I remembered it this way.
