Kills = Money trigs

[Jack_ONeill]

Anyone know a good efficient way to make kills = money. Like say every 2 units u kill u get 5 minerals. I can do that but it requires like 100 seprate trigs. Is there a way i can lower that lol.

OK first off, Im going to say you have stumbled upon one of the most frustratingly innaccurate things that ever happen in starcraft. The problem is, there is no kill score in starcraft that records the exact # of kills and can be lowere by triggers. The only method of making 1 kill=1 min is to use hyper triggers with kill score and set the kill score to 0 and minerals +1 whenver kill score is at least 1. That is the system that almost everyone uses-
however, if 2 units die at the same time because of splash damage, it still only gives you 1 mineral. There arent any ways around this. The only way to balance it differently would be to base mineral amounts you get off of kill score and balance the units based on the default kill scores they give, which is a pain in the face and not recommended.
So, I reccomend sticking with a system that has hyper triggers and this:

conditions:
player 1 kill score at least 1
actions:
preserve trigger
set kill score for player 1 to 0
add 1 minerals for player 1

Kills to cash is the most infuriating thing you can try to do when it comes to starcraft triggers. Here is a link for tutorials with multiple ways to do the kills to cash.

It works but theres another problem

Ok, theres one problem. I read your solution and i put it into the trigger area. You know on rpgs you get exp everytime you kill a unit. It keeps sending my exp down back too 0. How do i fix this?

well, you could techincally convert it into another variable, but that would be a very messy system when used alongside a kills-->mins trigger
