I have problems

[Kiyomori]

I have two questions. And plz dont be mad because this is my first map so...

1. Is there a way to make items respawn after you pick them up?

2. Can someone help me with my leaderboard? It says I need variables??? What the heck does that mean?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

[X] No way to respawn items, unless you do it through some advanced trigger programming.

Leaderboard-

Create Leaderboard
Events
Elapsed time equal to 8 seconds (This is a must)
Conditions
Actions
Leaderboard - Create a leaderboard for (All players) titled (Your map name)
Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing) and (((Matching player) controller) Equal to User))) and do (Leaderboard - Add (Picked player) to (Last created leaderboard) with label (Name of (Picked player)) and value 0)
Leaderboard - Show (Last created leaderboard)

Now you need a variable array to keep track of kills. Make an integer array called Kill_Count or something. To do that, go to EDIT, VARIABLES. Create a new variable, of type integer, and check the ARRAY box.

Then set up a SECOND trigger like this:
Tally Score
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
Actions
Set Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
Leaderboard - Change the value for (Owner of (Killing unit)) in (Last created leaderboard) to Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]
Leaderboard - Sort (Last created leaderboard) by Value in Descending order

Best of luck.

where do u find "is playing"?

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Player slot status comparison.

 

[Kheldar]

Set Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] = (Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + 1)
Leaderboard - Change the value for (Owner of (Killing unit)) in (Last created leaderboard) to Kill_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]
Leaderboard - Sort (Last created leaderboard) by Value in Descending order

where do u find "+ 1"?

 

[Kheldar]

no, i got it.

1. I changed mine to say elapsed game time, for your convenience.
2. I assigned window variables to mine, so I can show/hide often, easier.
3. I put conditions in my tally score, because Player 1 would always get random kills from no where. Sometimes things die and it doesn't know where to put them, it would give em to player 1. So that fixed it.

[Kheldar]

how do you get the "and" between Equal to Is playing) and (((Matching player) controller)

 

[SD_Ryoko]

When you pull down "Player maching condition"

And under the condition list, pull down AND and it will give you 2 conditions to work with.

 

[Mind]

If I'm correct, nobody has answered the first question, right?

Events:
    [Unit - Generic unit event]
    A unit acquires an item
Conditions:
Actions:
    Wait 20 seconds.
    Create (item type of (item being manipulated) at (position of item)

You could create a special effect or something at the location of that item…

 

[SD_Ryoko]

That wont work because after 20 seconds, triggering item and manipulated item will not work anymore?

 

[Mind]

Why not? The "item being manipulated" simply refer to the item being manipulated in that trigger, not the "last item being manipulated".

 

[Kheldar]

just try it to see whos right.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

What about "point of triggering item" - won't the hero be carying it around?

right / wrong?

I am just not confident that will work like he wants it to.

Of course, try it.

 

[Kheldar]

i want to have all players start with thier camera in the same place. the irritating thing is that i made the trigger and it worked, but then i deleted the camera and the trigger dissipared, and now i cant remember what i did.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I am thinking you want to is make your camera and say:

Pick all players in (all players) and do
Camera-Apply camera object (Kheldar Kam) for (picked player)over x seconds

Maybe you can do it without a player pick, can't check right now.
Look for Camera - Apply camera object.

 

[Kheldar]

thx, what would i do without you, darg and mind. you WILL get special thanks in the map. in big, colorfull letters.

 

[Kheldar]

got another weird problem. when units spawn at a region called "earth barracks 2" the first set of units dont start to attack-move, but when the second set comes after 20 seconds it starts to move. its wierd because it works at all the other regions, but not at that one.

 

[Mind]

What is the event for that trigger?
Like this?

Events:
    [Time - Periodic event]
    Every 20 seconds of the game
Conditions:
Actions:
    [Unit - Create unit facing angle]
    Create 5 footman at [region] facing random angle
    [Unit - Pick every unit in region and do action]
    Pick every unit in [region] and do
    [Unit - Issue unit order to region]
    Issue order (picked unit) to move to [region]

That's how it should be, I think.

Perhaps it has something to do with the integer conditions or something, because you say the first time it doesn't work.
Perhaps you accidently added the condition "Evaluation count of this trigger is not equal to 1" or "Execution count of this trigger is not equal to 0"

thx, what would i do without you, darg and mind. you WILL get special thanks in the map. in big, colorfull letters.

Don't forget SD_Ryoko eh?
