Help with TD trigger

[WeekeeWakee]

Hi there,

I'm creating a new WC3TFT TD, but I stoped when I needed to put the lives for the players.
My question is: How do I set lives for the players? And how can I make they lose the lives?

Thanks, and if you don't understand the questions, please post here that I explain to you.

well usaly uses a varible integer so the start will pop up a dialog saying how many lifes u need.
so the dialog picked will set the varible = to a value
lets say we creaty a varible called lives integer.

TEST
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
    Conditions
        (Owner of (Entering unit)) Equal to Player 12 (Brown)
    Actions
        Set lives = (lives - 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                lives Less than or equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: GAME DEFEAT!!!
            Else - Actions

Best way is to create a variable that is set to the number of lives with a trigger when the players choose the difficulty.

You then need another trigger for when the units enter the portal/boat/whatever. I would do something like this :

LooseALifeTrigger
    Events
        Unit - A unit comes within 512.00 of ThePortal <gen>
    Conditions
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    Actions
        Set PlayersLives = (PlayersLives - 1.00)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                PlayerCount Less than or equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                -------- The players loose --------
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

This should get you started

This is actually not that complicated of a trigger, First make a Variable and name it lives(or whatever), make it an integer and set its value to however many lives you want the people to start with. Then make a rect , make this rect the place you want the ppl to lose lives if a unit from a player enters it. Now to the Trigger part, first let me just say i cannot be exact about the trigger names because i am not on my home machine...

Event- A unit enters (specified rect)

condition- If unit belongs to player(the player who gets the creeps who move in the td)

Action- Set Variable (lives) ; (lives) - 1
Remove (Triggering or Entering[both will work]) unit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then make a new trigger, this will be for when lives reaches 0, the players will lose.

Event- Periodic;every 1.00 seconds of game time
Action- If/Multiple actions/else
if- (lives = 0)
then- (you can display whatever here but lets just go with this...)Make the player lose the game[again i cannot be specific about trigger name) and have it display the defeat message and make that whatever you want.
else- Do Nothing
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now this is if you want it to be put on a multiboard, have the columns blah blah blah, have a column named lives and etc. make a new trigger....

Event- periodic;every 0.10 seconds
action-set text of (last created multiboard[this wont work if u have more then one multiboard]) to *convert integer to String of variable [lives] * Again sorry about not being specific but meh : /

Hope i helped with your issue
