I thought I should make this cause I dont want to trouble you all with so many threads.

Here is the problem list with all the problems I have at the momement. Solved
problems have a solution below the problem.

[1] Is there a way how to lose the tax from high and medium upkeep? [Solved]
[Solution]

[2] Is there a way to enforce melee win/defeat without a start townhall.[Solved]
[Solution]

You can always make custom Victory/Defeat Conditions.

Defeat Trigger 1: Whenever a unit dies, and the player has no units left, defeat him. (Turn this trigger off when the player builds a town hall)

Defeat Trigger 2: Whenever a Town Hall dies, and the player has no town halls left, defeat him.

Victory Condition: Just add this part to the end of both of the defeat triggers
If the number of remaining players (that have not lost) is equal to 1, then make that player win.

[The trigger itself] Update.

[YosLin]

What do you mean? Like how when you get so much food you get less gold when your workers harvest gold like in melee games?

 

[AceHart]

Menu: Advanced / Gameplay constants,
check "use custom",
scroll all the way down to "Upkeep".

Food levels, is how much food needs to be in use for the different upkeeps (50, 80, ...)
Gold tax, is the % you lose (0.0, 0.30, 0.60)
Lumber tax, the % you lose (not used usually)


So, for
> Is there a way how to lose the tax from high and medium upkeep?

you would set all values in "gold tax" to 0.00, or change the upkeep levels so you never run into higher keeps.

 

[Andrewgosu]

New problem has arised:

Is there a way to enforce melee win/defeat without a starter townhall. All melee maps start with 5 peasant + town hall. I want my map start with only 1 peasant, but if do that, i will lose in the very beginning because i dont have the townhall. Any ideas?

 

[Darthfett]

You can always make custom Victory/Defeat Conditions.

Defeat Trigger 1: Whenever a unit dies, and the player has no units left, defeat him. (Turn this trigger off when the player builds a town hall)

Defeat Trigger 2: Whenever a Town Hall dies, and the player has no town halls left, defeat him.

Victory Condition: Just add this part to the end of both of the defeat triggers
If the number of remaining players (that have not lost) is equal to 1, then make that player win.

 

[Andrewgosu]

K, heres another one:

How to give a peasant 2nd build ability if the first one doesnt have room to accomodate all the buildings. I tried the spell book but that ended changing build mini barracks into my building what costs mana not lumber and gold. Any ideas?

 

[Rabarber]

The thing is supported, since Blizzard wanted to use the StarCraft system, with an advanced build menu. (BTNAdvancedBuild.blp)

 

[Andrewgosu]

And where could I find it?...

Sorry for being dumb again, but im awfully sleepy right now

 

[Rabarber]

Er... Well, try to look for "build" abilities in the ability section. They could still be left from the early alphas. If you don't find any, i bet triggers are the only way.

 

[Andrewgosu]

I couldnt find advanced build nor normal build ability. Wierd thing is that when I open the peasant and try to add him abilites, it allows me to add build (human), build (orc) ect...

 

[Rabarber]

Heh. But i think the only correct way is to add several builders

You could also make a "Secndary Upgrade Building" that the peasant builds. Then, it can be upgraded into all the "Advanced" ones.

 

[Rabarber]

One building that upgrades into all of the other buildings, simply

 

[Amfidamant]

Perhaps make another Peasnat unit just like this one, only with the diffirent buildigns you need and add morph abilities based of Night elf Bear form. It should do the trick, if you have space ^^

 

[Andrewgosu]

Ok, heres a new problem:

Is it possible to have 2 same units with same model but with a different skin on a map?

Like a regular footman + a edited skin version footman.

Problem 5:

Heres the trigger

Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Polymorph
Actions
Unit - Change ownership of (Targeted unit) to Neutral Passive and Change color

The problem is that the targeted untis doesnt change its ownership. Any ideas? Is my trigger wrong? I bet it is.

 

[Kershbob]

Should be (Targeted Unit of Ability Being Cast) I think.

 

[AceHart]

> Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability

What you expect any potential targets to be once you "finishes casting"?

> (Ability being cast) Equal to Polymorph

Yes...

> Unit - Change ownership of (Targeted unit) to Neutral Passive and Change color

"Targeted unit"? That's the event response on the event "acquires a target".


Event:
- A unit starts the effect of an ability
Conditions:
- Ability...
Actions:
- Unit - Change ownership of (Target unit of ability being cast) ...


Sounds a bit like charm though...

 

[Andrewgosu]

Thanks, it works now.

Problem 6 however:

Ability blizzard is well known to everyone. It takes 75 mana to cast it.
What I want to do is that after I cast it, it takes 25 mana per wave/second. My mind just doesnt cope with how to do that.

 

[Kershbob]

You want that multi instanceable?
