full sight tower problem...

[polva]

Hi everyone,
i created a tower with full sight but after tower's death I dont lose the sight...

Visibility
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes construction
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Scout Tower
Actions
Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Owner of (Constructed structure)) emitting Visibility from (Position of (Constructed structure)) to a radius of 1000000000.00

probably i must create a new condition but wich of then? someone can help me?

its because you create the visibility at that position, not on that unit, you would need to change the unit's obeject editor value day/night sight radius to 1000000000 in order to have it dissapear when it dies

The max value for sight range of a unit is 1800 and there is no way to increase it unfortunately.

What you need to do is map the visibility modifier, which you create when the construction of a scout tower finishes, to the other to, once the tower gets destroyed, remove it again.
I would suggest a hashtable though i guess unit indexing would work as well given that not too many of those scout towers would be in the game at once. (less then 8000)

Is better with the hash table, since when you finish building the tower you create the visibility modifier and save it into the HT using the handle id of the tower builded. then with another trigger you detect when a tower dies, and delete the visibiliti modifier stored with the handle id of the dying unit.

When the tower dies, destroy the Visibility Modifier.

You could use a wait, like so:

• Visibility
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Scout Tower
  • Actions
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Owner of (Constructed structure)) emitting Visibility from (Position of (Constructed structure)) to a radius of 1000000000.00
    • Wait until (((Constructed structure) is dead) Equal to True), checking every 1.00 seconds
    • Visibility - Destroy (Last created visibility modifier)

that isnt MUI though, if someone creates 2 then destroys 1 it wont work still, save it in a hashtable

Or simpler still, use a local variable.

• Visibility
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Scout Tower
  • Actions
    • Custom Script: local fogmodifier VisMod
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Owner of (Constructed structure)) emitting Visibility from (Position of (Constructed structure)) to a radius of 1000000000.00
    • Custom Script: set VisMod = GetLastCreatedFogModifier()
    • Wait until (((Constructed structure) is dead) Equal to True), checking every 1.00 seconds
    • Custom Script: call DestroyFogModifier(VisMod)

WOW I did it! thank you guy you helped a lot... thanks for everyone that posted here :thup:
OBS. I used radius of 99999 i dont know why but 1000000000.00 crash ^^

Maybe because it was over the limit. Things like that tend to happen a lot with big values.
