HELP!! Hero Respawn trigger!

[Penguin-]

Someone plz tell me where i am going wrong, ive been looking at it for hours.

It comes in 2 parts. (N.B i have a seperate trigger for part 2 for each player)

Human Part 1
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 2 (Blue) Dies
Unit - A unit owned by Player 3 (Teal) Dies
Unit - A unit owned by Player 4 (Purple) Dies
Unit - A unit owned by Player 5 (Yellow) Dies
Unit - A unit owned by Player 6 (Orange) Dies
Conditions
((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
((Dying unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
Actions
Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) the text: ( Your hero has fallen and will be revived in + ((String(((Hero level of (Dying unit)) x 5))) + seconds.))
Countdown Timer - Start HeroTimer[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in (5.00 x (Real((Hero level of (Dying unit))))) seconds
Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Dying unit)

HUman Part 2
Events
Time - HeroTimer[2] expires
Conditions
Actions
Hero - Instantly revive Hero[2] at (Center of Human Spawn <gen>), Show revival graphics

I had something similar to this before and it worked fine (the only difference being that there was no array on the timer, which meant that as soon as the timer finished all waiting heroes were respawned. Now i have added an array it doesnt work.)

And as per usual i am on RoC, but i shouldnt think that would effect such a simple trigger.

Have you set the size of the array? With timers you must set the size for them to work. Use 12 as there is max 12 players. Ehh wait can you set the size in RoC?

If you have set the size: Does the text message display?

 

[Penguin-]

yeah i still get the your hero blah blah but then nothing happens which makes me think that the array is not writing the player index in correctly... or something...

Peng


EDIT: Oh and how do i set the array? As far as i can see i can just select whether i want an array or not..

EDIT2: Hurray 50+.

The fixed array size option wasn't added until Frozen Throne.

Maybe you could use if-thens (If they are in RoC) and make individual timers for each player.

The fixed array size option wasn't added until Frozen Throne.

The size isnt realy the maximum size, it is how long the array is filled with vaules. So for exaple if you have an timer array with size 4 you cannot start the timer indexed as 5, since there is no timer there but you can easy create a timer and add it to the 5th index

Is RoC arrays initilized to the maximum vaule (~8000) or only to 1?

If the array only is initilized to 1 I suggest this:

Make a trigger with the event map initilazion, convert it to custom script (under the tap Edit)

You will se something silmular to this:

function Trig_TRIGGERNAME_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_TRIGGERNAME takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_TRIGGERNAME = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_TRIGGERNAME, function Trig_TRIGGERNAME_Actions )
endfunction

just under the first line, but over the 'endfunction', you add this:

local integer i = 1
loop
    exitwhen i > 12
    set udg_HeroTimer[i] = CreateTimer()
    set i = i + 1
endloop

Then save the map at a NEW location so you dont save over your old map, if you get error screw this, if no errors test and se if it works.

The reason it doesn't work is because you used Triggering Unit. That does not work with the condition (a unit dies) because there is no Triggering unit, just a killing unit and a dieing unit.

Triggering Unit is the same as Dying Unit with the event a unit dies, Dying Unit is just a little faster and easier to understand.

 

[AgentPaper]

no, triggering unit isn't dieing unit, it doesnt work, havent you ever tried it?

 

[phyrex1an]

I have tried it.

    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
    Actions
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Triggering unit))

 

[Penguin-]

bump.

This really needs to be fixed.

What player are you when you test this? Player 1?

And, do you need this condition: " ((Dying unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True"?

 

[Penguin-]

I am player 2, an ally of player Red.

I see your point that it is unneccessary, but surely thats not the problem as i am getting the text up, which means the conditions have been fulfilled.

In a desperate attempt to get it to work, i have created a new trigger for each player, like this. (got rid of the array malarky about owner of players)

Player2 Respawn
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 2 (Blue) Dies
Conditions
((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
((Dying unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
Actions
Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) the text: ( Your hero has fallen and will be revived in + ((String(((Hero level of (Dying unit)) x 5))) + seconds.))
Countdown Timer - Start HeroTimer[2] as a One-shot timer that will expire in (5.00 x (Real((Hero level of (Dying unit))))) seconds
Set Hero[2] = (Dying unit)

Player2 Revival
Events
Time - HeroTimer[2] expires
Conditions
Actions
Hero - Instantly revive Hero[2] at (Center of Human Spawn <gen>), Show revival graphics


This STILL doesnt work....

[AceHart]

If you put a "Game - Display to ... 'Time's up'" as action in your revival trigger,
do you see it?

If yes, change it to show "Name of Hero[2]".
Do you see that too?

 

[Penguin-]

I think i have found the problem.

I made a whole new variable which is not got an array, so it simply started a timer and when it expires he respawns. It works

Then i added an array (which i set to 1) and it still works. Then i tried array of 2 and it doesnt.

This makes me think that in RoC the max array size u can have is 1. (i.e either off or on.) Unfortunately this means that i will now have to make a variable for every player (10)

EDIT: Please can someone tell me how I can revive a random hero on a team? I have used the random integer player number, but this doesnt work as it can randomly pick players that arent waiting for a hero to revive and therefore do nothing. This is what I have got.

Hero - Instantly revive Hero[(Player number of (Random player from (All allies of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))))] at (Position of Healer), Show revival graphics

I need to change the random part to make sure that they are "dead" or "waiting revival"

(it is basically an ability which instantly revives a hero waiting for revival at the point of the healer)
