Uhm i need help with triggering dropping items..
so it does this..
when any unit owned by player 12 dies,there will be a 4% chance for dropping an item.this item is then randomed between x amount of items before dropping.this is what i have..

Code:
Events
    Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
Conditions
Actions
    If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        If - Conditions
            (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 4
        Then - Actions
        Else - Actions
            Do nothing
how would i continue this??? thanks :thup:

If the unit you use, or units, is already in game when it starts, if you put it from the editor. You can just modify the Item Dropping of the unit, using item tables...

If not... you should make some actions like...

Then Actions
Set variable number = Math - Random number between 1 and X
If number is Y then do:
Drop Z item.
If number is Y then do:
Drop Z item
If number is Y then do:
Drop Z item
And so on...
But that requires a lot of triggering, you should look up for tutorials about this... maybe it would help.

Why not use item arrays? The actions could be like
Trigger:
  • Item - Create DropItem[(Random integer number between 1 and 4)]

where DropItem is an item array variable.

Arrays are going to be the easiest way to go about this, and they aren't too complicated.
First, you would create an Item-Type variable, and click the array box to make the variable an array. Then you would do something like this:
Trigger:
  • Trigger 1
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set ItemTypeArray[1] = Claws of Attack +15
      • Set ItemTypeArray[2] = Crown of Kings +5
      • Set ItemTypeArray[3] = Kelen's Dagger of Escape
      • Set ItemTypeArray[4] = Mask of Death
      • Set ItemTypeArray[5] = ....

You would use one action for each item you want to have a chance to drop.
Then your other trigger would look like this:
Trigger:
  • Trigger 2
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
    • Conditions
      • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 4
    • Actions
      • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
      • Item - Create ItemTypeArray[(Random integer number between 1 and X)] at TempPoint
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Where X would be the number of items you had in the first trigger.

    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

    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.
