"Capturing" a region. Need help!

[B0ndo]

Hi folks

I'd like to know if it's possible (and if, how) to make a trigger that will display a text to all players sayning "Team 1 has captured the middle" (example). If a certain region no longer contains a unit from team 2.

But as soon a unit from team 2 enters the region when no units from team 1 is currently within the region it will display a text saying "Team 2 has captured the middle" (example)

I hope someone gets my point and can help me out here

Cheers in advance

Are you looking for something like this? That is, assuming Player 1 is the first player of Team 1 and Player 7 is the first player of Team 2.

 

[B0ndo]

Yup that should in theory work, I'll report back to you later when I've tested it, cheers

When saying "Belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red) does that include red himself? Or only his allies?

 

[KaerfNomekop]

It checks if the unit is considered an ally by Red. This includes his own units.

 

[B0ndo]

Well the trigger works, but it needs some tweaking, because everytime a unit of team 1 leaves the region it sends the text. So if no units from team 2 is currently in the region and 10 units from team 1 leaves the region at the same time it displays the text 10 times.

I guess I have to chance the event to... Unit - A unit dies perhabs?

 

[B0ndo]

No wait I'll make a variable and another condition and see if that works out. Brb.

 

[B0ndo]

This is my code, i added another variable and thought that might fix it, but it doesn't, now it doesn't even send any game txts.

I need help here!

What you want is to Turn Off this trigger whenever the region is captured, then have a separate trigger turned on at the same time. The other trigger will run whenever the region is (uncaptured, I guess?), turn itself off and turn this one on again.

 

[B0ndo]

So shall i seperate the trigger into 2 triggers 1 for each team and turn the trigger off after it has displayed the text? But i don't see how that'll help so I might need a demonstration if you got time?

 

[KaerfNomekop]

I wish I could. But exams around the corner, and a bunch of projects to rush. Basically you want this trigger to turn itself off whenever there are no units of a certain team in it. You also want another trigger that runs whenever a unit leaves the region, and if there are no more units inside, then turn this trigger back on.

 

[B0ndo]

Alright np mate, good luck with those projects and exams, I'll try myself, and thanks for your help! +rep

Just a quick thing B0ndo.
Don't triple or double post, both of which you did above.
Just edit your most recent reply.

 

[B0ndo]

Oh okay, I appoligize.

OFF-TOPIC: Is that because of the massive traffic on thehelper.net? To like keep the posts down to the minimum?

You don't have to answer btw

 

[NeuroToxin]

No, it's mainly to stop users from "bumping" their thread, and that, but at the same time, you can't post three times, as it keeps pushing your thread up to the top of the unread threads.

 

[educator]

umm, maybe instead of on unit entry, how bout a "capture" abilty, (prob instant cast) that if cast by a unit in the region does the stuffs u want. just suggesting this coz iv had triggers bug out on me with "unit enters region"

 

[B0ndo]

Np i got it working as i want
