Hey me again.. got 2 more questions.. actually img unna have more when i make my custom abilities (cuz im wanting to do some pretty insane stuff) but yeah..... that can wait.. first i got 2 things i need to take care of.

1 ) I got my building creating the hero, the building being destryoed, and the hero being placed at my start location. Now there is a problem..

this is the trigger im using

Camera - Pan camera for (Triggering player) to (Position of (Last created unit)) over 1.00 seconds

but.. the camera goes straight to the center of the map.

2 ) Does anyone have any ideas that could help me with creating units every 1.5 or so seconds when a player owns a certain type of base in a certain region or start location. Much like the one in footmen frenzy because i decided to start new and make footmen frenzy actually interesting and worth playing.

So lets say i own a "Commando Base Level 1" and i want it to produce 5 commandos every second, any idea on how to do this? or any links? I do believe tehre is something some tutorial about creation of units but isnt that for a tower defense? If i am rong please re-refer me to the right link :)

thanks!

1 ) EDIT: change it to Camera - Pan camera for (owner of(sold unit)) to (Position of (Last created unit)) over 1.00 seconds

2 ) make a trigger like this:

event
every ____ seconds

conditions
player owns (unti) equal to true

actions
spawn (number of ((Commando Base Level 1) in ( playable map area))
 
1: Since your creating the hero at the start location why dont you pan to the start location :rolleyes:

2: Use something like:

Code: 
E: time - every 3 seconds of the game (1.5 is nuts!)
A: unit - pick every unit in <units of type <Commando Base1>  matching condition - Boolean-<Matching unit> is alive equal to true> and do...
A:... Unit - Create 1 <Commando (Level 1)> for <Owner of <Picked unit>> at <Position of <Picked unit> offset by 150 towards 230>

You could probrably just use the standard unit-group pick, without (Multiple Functions). But that would make the trigger way to long and unorganized if I did that for the example :P

EDIT: For 1, do as he said and change (Triggering player) to (Owner of (Sold unit))... didnt notice that :P

Remember that TRIGGERING anything only works if something triggered it, so if a player types -Test, Triggering unit wouldnt work at all. If a unit dies triggering player wouldnt do anything etc.
 
uhm your first tip did not work, and i have yet to try the second one cuz i have to go do something right now.. but will be back with another response in ab it

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • Ghan Ghan:
    More here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/why-are-my-trending-content-threads-not-trending.232452/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
