Changing actor-scale by trigger?

[MissKerrigan]

Hey,

I created the first 5 levels are marines but I don't want to duplicate the marine 4 times so:

is it possible that I make a trigger which make the marines bigger after level 1 and change the hitpoints of it? (ofcourse I want to do this 4 times)
After the 5x marines, the marauders are coming 5x, and so on...

Is this possible?

You can add a behavior to the units that change the health and scale of the unit (you change the scale in the actor events of the unit).
But I would suggest that you just dublicate it 4 times, it's not THAT time consuming.

 

[MissKerrigan]

Yes but my map is always about 15/20 mb for some reason, I don't want make it to large size

 

[X-maul]

Do you import anything, or are your triggers just immensely large?

You can send it to me, then I can check out what causes it?

 

[MissKerrigan]

well I'm using variables now but still need about 1000 triggers to run it all, becuase I don't understand ALL the variables yet so I can't work together with them

oh wow, I have a fully functional TD with 7 different types of waves, each with obstacles, A dialog to select race and runner unit; all done with 43 triggers and 68 Global variables.

As I've mentioned before I am willing to try to teach you how to use variables efficiently.

Some day when I don't have 1000~ things to do, I'll try to make a super TD!

 

[X-maul]

I'm ready to join in on it if you're interested

What exactly is your definition of a "Super TD"?

 

[Siretu]

Something very effective and clean and probably not fun because I don't have a good concept.

I could make a TD framework.

 

[X-maul]

Well, we could take do a skype session where we discuss some concepts?
(Uhm, we should take this to PM's instead)

 

[MissKerrigan]

I wanna make a SUPER td also ! maybe I can learn something of you then
Would be working the best if I visite you but unfortunetaly...

My nephew asked me why I am so good with this editor and I said that I'm not haha

Thanks for the 'unit type' variable mister X-Maul !!
Now I know how to create random units but the problem is that they must come 1 by 1 and all the same type...
