Trigger:
  • Monster House
    • Events
    • Conditions
      • Boolean[(Integer(In))] Equal to True
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from (Random integer number between 1 and 10) to (Random integer number between 25 and 50), do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set TempPoint[500] = (Random point in Monster House 1 <gen>)
          • Set Level[(Integer(Player))] = (Player number of (Triggering player))
          • Unit - Create 1 UnitType[(Random integer number between 0 and 11)] for Neutral Hostile at TempPoint[500] facing Default building facing degrees
          • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack HeroUnit[Level[(Integer(Player))]]
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint[500])


I know this trigger works for single player, as it attacks the default player, which is Red.

But, in multiplayer, I doubt this trigger works for everyone equally. So, I'm asking how should I make a lot of creeps to attack the nearest hero player, on condition the map is a full house game (12 players playing)?

Set Group1 every unit in <your region> matching it's a hero."
~then~
Set Group2 = Random 1 units from Group1
~then~
Pick every unit in Group2
~then~
Issue (neutrals) to attack (picked unit)

When it did, it attacks that randomly picked hero only.

Then you could pick every unit in region and create a unit at it location.
You'd be sure the unit attack the nearest unit.

for nearest unit...
- create unit at some point
- calculate distance between this point and the point of each hero
- pick lowest distance
- attack the unit with the lowest distance

or give the units 9999 acquisition range, however they won't attack stand still units if a battle is happening somewhere else.

Setting a variable CreepPoint a random point in a region.
Create unit...at CreepPoint
Loop Integer A of 0 through 11

(Is that corrrect?)

Set a new variable HeroPoint[Integer A] = Position of Hero[Integer A].
Set a new real variable Distance[Integer A] = Distance between CreepPoint and HeroPoint[Integer A]
Loop Integer A End

(How to pick the lowest distance?)

Order Creep to attack the picked hero

Pick every unit in (Creeps) and do:
Add unit to FWAGH
For Each Integer A from 1 to (number of creeps in X zone)
Do
Set BLURGH = random unit from FWAGH
Set Point = Position of random unit from (units owned by (user) matching (matching unit is a hero = true))
order BLURGH to attack-move to point
Remove BLURGH from FWAGH
call RemoveLocation(udg_point)

The number of creeps in x zone is unknown. My map keeps spawning creeps which attack heroes.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
