Item ping trigger ROC

[blake007]

Hi guys!

Been having a nightmare trying to figure a way to get this trigger to work properly :banghead:

I want to make a trigger that will ping all items in map area for the player who owns a certain hero class. This must work on ROC. The items will be dropped in waves at random area of map.

Event - Time - Every 120 seconds of game time
Condition - Player has unit of type (recon)
Action - Ping all items in map for player of matching condition.

It sounds simple, but i just cant do it. It would be very much appreciated if someone could help me out here. Thanks

I don't know much about ROC since it's been a very long time since I used it. The only thing I can advise is to get TFT before ROC gives you a major headache. I just had a quick look on the UK ebay and it was going for as little as 2 GBP. I can't imagine it being much dearer anywhere else.

I'm sorry I can't help you with your problem, as my knowledge on ROC isn't great at all.

Thanks, but I do own both games, I just want to make a map for chaos. It's almost done, just having a headache with this last trigger.

Can you please explain a little bit more, i dont really understand what you want to do

Hi, sorry.

If a player owns a certain hero, the mini map will ping him all the locations of items in the map, every 2 minutes.

I understand, this is how i would do it:

• picks up or drops the item
  • Events
    • A unit Recieves an item
    • A unit drops an item
  • Conditions
    • Item type of item being manipulated is equal to (your item)
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Bool = false
    • For Each integer A from 1 to 6 do actions
      • Loop Actions
        • If then else
          • Item type of item in slot integer A for triggering unit is equal to (your item)
        • Then
          • Set Temp_Bool (boolean) = true
        • Else
    • If then else
      • If
        • Temp_Bool = true
      • Then
        • Unit Group - Add triggering unit to Holding_Recon
      • Else
        • Unit Group - remove triggering unit to Holding_Recon

• Pingers
  • Events
    • Periodic Event - Every 120.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_I_Grp (item group variable) = Items in playable map area
    • Set Temp_Grp = Units in Holding_Recon (Group variable)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Grp and do actions
      • Loop Actions
        • If Then Else
          • If
            • Owner of picked unit is in Temp_P_Grp is equal to false (boolean condition)
          • Then
            • Player Group - Add (owner of picked unit) to Temp_P_Grp
          • Else
    • Custom Script: CallDestroyGroup ( udg_Temp_Grp )
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Temp_P_Grp and do actions
      • Loop Actions
        • Item Group - pick every item in Temp_I_Grp and do actions
          • Set Temp_Point = position of picked item
          • Player - Ping map at Temp_Point for picked player (this may be a game action)
          • Custom Script: CallRemoveLocation ( udg_Temp_Point)
    • Custom Script: CallDestroyPlayerGroup ( udg_Temp_P_Grp)
    • Custom Script: CallDestroyItemGroup ( udg_Temp_I_Grp)

Thanks for the help, I do really appreciated your efforts, but I’m sure those commands unfortunately don’t work for chaos maker.

 

[GFreak45]

why would they not work for reign of chaos?

the only reason why maps wouldnt work for ROC is if they had huge boundaries, or any models/spells/units/etc from TFT

 

[Grags_1977]

ROC World Editor is also missing a HUGE chunk of trigger functions that are used in TFT Item Groups being one of them.

 

[GFreak45]

really? im sure theres a library with the functions you can copy and past into a custom text trigger, that would give you access to all the same stuff but you would need to use custom script to call the function

 

[Grags_1977]

I highly doubt it. I doubt before Hashtables were added, we could of used of them via custom script. Same thing, I mean TFT was an expansion afterall.

 

[GFreak45]

you could with jass, they are called structs :/

 

[merlinds]

I have seen a post somewher, that teaches how to increase the WE functionality. It was about GFreak says, increasing the Librayes with more functions.
So, if what i think is true, you have 2 options. Lear jass or try to increse the libaryes.
But i still do not understand why you want to use RoC
