King of the Hill Help.

Macintuss · Aug 1, 2008

Hi. Thanks for reading. This might be hard to explain and/or read, I'll try my best to make it clear.

My Goal: When a unit enters region "center" starts a 30 second timer/display for owner of triggering unit. If that unit leaves it clears the timer/display. If another players unit enters while someone else is in the "center" it will pause until there is only one person in the "center". When a players timer reaches 0 for being in the center it will create 1 unit (somewhere doesn't matter) and then restart the timer for 30 seconds again.

My Current Triggers For This: (only triggered for red and blue for now) Warning: You will laugh at how primative my coding skill is & there are 7 triggers here

Code:

UnitEntersCenter
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                MiddleOwned Equal to 1
                ismiddlered Equal to 1
                Redtimeractive Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Set Redtimeractive = 1
                Countdown Timer - Start Kingofthehilltimer[(Player number of Player 1 (Red))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
                Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Kingofthehilltimer[(Player number of Player 1 (Red))] with title ((Name of Player 1 (Red)) +  Middle:)
                Set KingOfHillWindow[(Player number of Player 1 (Red))] = (Last created timer window)
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

Problem With My Code: When player 1 Red goes in the region everything works perfect like a charm (so far). But when Player 2 Blue enters it just shows the window and no timer is going, also when blue leaves the region it keeps the timer window and doesn't destroy it, red cannot enter the middle and start a timer after blue has been in it

Solution: Find the problem in my code (if you have the time to read it) or if your super cool you could find a easier way to code this and post it for me. Either way suggestions are wanted and answers are rep'd. Thanks.

I think this will work:

Code:

        Unit - A unit enters King of the hill <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions

        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Players_in_region Greater than 1
            Then - Actions
                Countdown Timer - Pause King_timer[(Player number of (Owner of First_unit_entering))]
            Else - Actions
                Set First_unit_entering = (Triggering unit)
                If (Players_in_region Equal to 1) then do (Countdown Timer - Start King_timer[(Player number of (Owner of First_unit_entering))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds) else do (Do nothing)
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions

                    Then - Actions
                        Countdown Timer - Resume King_timer[(Player number of (Owner of First_unit_entering))]
                    Else - Actions
                        Countdown Timer - Start King_timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
                        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for King_timer[(Player number of (Owner of First_unit_entering))] with title Midle:
                        Countdown Timer - Show King_timer_window[(Player number of (Owner of First_unit_entering))] for (Owner of First_unit_entering)
                        Set Has_already_been_in_region[(Player number of (Owner of First_unit_entering))] = True

Code:

    Actions
        Set Players_in_region = (Players_in_region - 1)
        Countdown Timer - Pause King_timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]

Code:

        -------- Add all the blablabla you want (make this trigger for every player) --------

didn't test it yet, I'm testing it now so don't be pissed if there are bugs for now ^^ and also I'm not sure about memory leaks, this is beta version of my trigs ^^

EDIT: hmmz didn't work :S lemme think few secs..

EDIT: does work now, small problem with resuming the timer... lemme work on it

Macintuss · Aug 1, 2008

K cool let me know if you figure it out. Thanks for trying in any case.

LoveTD's · Aug 1, 2008

seems like it's not that easy, I'm trying a different way which works but still has a few flaws which I have to put straight, might take a while...

Macintuss · Aug 1, 2008

Alright man, thanks for taking the time to try and figure it out. I'll look forward to hearing from you.

LoveTD's · Aug 1, 2008

After a lot of work i've made it's flawless

unless you count memmory leaks

dunno if they are in if they do you can try to remove em by yourself, i don't think there are leaks but if there are please double check it

) here are the triggers:

            Else - Actions
                Set More_then_one_in_rect = False

small description of what it does: every time you enter the *hill* you will have your timer go down

(unless there are more then 1 players in the hill then the timer will stop for all players in the hill untill there is 1 left)

If you leave the hill your window will be hided (but still have the nessecary count so for example you have 10 secs to go and leave the hill you won't see your timer but when you return to the hill the window returns with the 10 secs left)

I hope you have fun with this

ow and erm... I made it so that it can only be used once (because of a bug which lets you win the hill every 0.7 secs), if you have any
problems with that please tell me and I will try to fix it ok?
(or if you want to you can even let me make rounds, so when player 1 wins he wins round 1, player with most rounds won wins)

Ouch, that'll take forever... Instead, put all those actions inside of a For each (Integer player_number) from 1 to ... and then use the player_number variable for the array indexes.

LoveTD's · Aug 1, 2008

tryed that, but no goods because you will have to mess with all the triggers then... You can try it if you like but I'm not sure if it will work

if you meant something like this than I don't think it is going to work (I'm not completely new to loops but I'm a bit new, tell me if I'm doing it wrong

):

Code:

Player 1 timer
    Events
        Time - Every 0.70 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (King of the hill <gen> contains Hero_of_player[(Integer A)]) Equal to False
                    Then - Actions
                        Countdown Timer - Pause King_timer[(Integer A)]
                        Countdown Timer - Hide King_timer_window[(Integer A)] for (Player((Integer A)))
