Can anyone help me out.

I'm having problems in this line

Untitled Trigger 002
Events
Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 001 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 002 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 003 <gen>
Conditions
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to hostileCreeps
Actions
Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to (Custom value of (Triggering unit))


This line inparticulary Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to (Custom value of (Triggering unit))


I can't manage to set it to Unit - Set the custom value of (Triggering unit) to (Custom value of (Triggering unit)+1)

How do I +1?

I've tried different options all around but nothing seems to hit the spot.

Thanks

Btw great guide. I think this is all I need to make my TD.

Use the Aritmethic integer part, allows you to do math between multiple integers

Thanks a million man. It worked.

But now I have different problem :(.

Untitled Trigger 003
Events
Unit - A unit enters Region 003 <gen>
Conditions
(Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to hostileCreeps
Actions
Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
Set livesCount = (levelCount - 1)
Leaderboard - Change the value for hostileCreeps in boardDisplay to livesCount
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
livesCount Equal to 0
Then - Actions
Wait 2.00 seconds
Player Group - Pick every player in inGamePlayers and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Game - Defeat (Picked player) with the message: Defeat!
Else - Actions


When a creep enters last region my lives goes from 100 to 0 :(.

I'm positive its -1 in the set variable of level count. What did go wrong here

Creeps being blocked?

What if someone purposely blocks the creeps and the creeps cant move and does not want to attack, what do i do?

Make it so that the path the creeps must go along is completely rock or another unbuildable surface if you don't want them to build on it, or do this for areas where you do not want them to build - Some TDs allow people to build on the path, some don't, I prefer the latter.

if its a mazing type td, give them an attack, then if they stop because they are blocked, they start rampaging around the maze destroying towers

tmpPoint

spawnCreeps.gif


What bothers me is this line:
Set tmpPoint = ((Picked player) start location)

How do I set up so they spawn at multiple locations that aren't players' spawn point? (marked with an X on the screenshot)

Thanks for the help, but I fixed it already.
In case anyone else encounters the same problem, make a new region array containing all spawn points, and use the following action to spawn mobs:
Set tmpPoint = (Center of regionArraySpawn[(Player number of (Picked player))])

Fantastic Tutorial!

Still great after all these years.

I always remember this one as the tutorial which got me started with the World Editor.

Thanks!

I regularly refresh my photobucket accounts to keep the images in my tutorials from not displaying due to inactivity.

Plus I still get regular PMs asking me questions regarding how to trigger etc. because of my tutorials (which now gives a great oppurtunity to remind that if you have a question, please post it in the WEZ as a new thread, not PM me).

Oh, and happy New Year! (though I think nobody will see this)

Your favourite Pandaren,

Andrewgosu

P.S.

Woah, it's been almost five years.

Umm ... I need help. I agree this is the best to learn how to make a TD but, I am having troubles with the triggers.. Can you make it more descriptive because I just Can't seem to find the right triggers. For example take a screenshot for a specific Trigger and then show what part of the guide it is... other than that thank you! This is a very good guide!

Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • 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

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    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.
