You sould probably also have an if/then/else statement checking if the lives are zero, after they are subtracted. Also, in my TD, I have it so your life is a Real, and the leaked unit's precentage health is subtracted. That way, you don't go ()@#&%)(#&%) when you leak one guy at 14/100000 health

so how do i set the life to 60 then ?
and where do i find the 'Set lives - (lives -1)' ????

Under the General - Set Variable. You have to have a Lives variable first.

because you are trying to open a protected map, we do not support map unprotection.

this text i am about to post is from a another thread i replied to so ill just tell you what i told the other guy.



This is actually not that complicated of a trigger, First make a Variable and name it lives(or whatever), make it an integer and set its value to however many lives you want the people to start with. Then make a rect , make this rect the place you want the ppl to lose lives if a unit from a player enters it. Now to the Trigger part, first let me just say i cannot be exact about the trigger names because i am not on my home machine...

Event- A unit enters (specified rect)

condition- If unit belongs to player(the player who gets the creeps who move in the td)

Action- Set Variable (lives) ; (lives) - 1
Remove (Triggering or Entering[both will work]) unit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then make a new trigger, this will be for when lives reaches 0, the players will lose.

Event- Periodic;every 1.00 seconds of game time
Action- If/Multiple actions/else
if- (lives = 0)
then- (you can display whatever here but lets just go with this...)Make the player lose the game[again i cannot be specific about trigger name) and have it display the defeat message and make that whatever you want.
else- Do Nothing
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now this is if you want it to be put on a multiboard, have the columns blah blah blah, have a column named lives and etc. make a new trigger....

Event- periodic;every 0.10 seconds
action-set text of (last created multiboard[this wont work if u have more then one multiboard]) to *convert integer to String of variable [lives] * Again sorry about not being specific but meh : /

Hope i helped with your issue

i am sorry for double posting but i wanted to respond to this, this thing happening with your map, ONLY happens in 2 cases, 1 - you try to open a protected map(probably not your case ) and 2- you did something in the triggers or object editor(like having a unit have 2 abilities made from the base of the same ability), aanyway, if its a protected map, either is not urs or u protected by mistake[i do not condone this but if u must u must] find a map unprotector and unprotect your map, if its #2 then all i can say is: your map is gone, now u can begin to learn from the mistakes you have made to never have the same error happen to any other maps and heres a tip : i had this same exact bs happen to me while i was still a "newbie", so now whenever i change anything in my map, i save it as EX: blahblahblah.021 or blahblahblah.022 just incase i f**ked up i dont lose all my work, just a tiny piece of it...

 

[Korolen]

Acually, if it is #2, then the work is not lost. You can edit it back with an MPQ application.

 

[PsychoPif]

And if it's #1 we can't help you

 

[AgentPaper]

actually i beleive its case #3, where (s)he is using a cd crack (saw this on another post). if this is the problem, we do not support cd cracks, buy the game. (not dicouraging other people to find other solutions, im not 100% sure)

Back to the topic: to set the lives i suggest you use the dialog so ppl can select if they want 60,40,20 (easy, normal, hard) and if they choose hard,

Set lives = 60

if they choose normal

set lives = 40

and so on... and u have the loses a life and such.
If you dont no about dialogs read this tutorial, its pretty good if u read it thouroghly... Dialog Turorial

 

[Nightsisters]

Please can anyone PM me whit 100% instruction, im not so good at this stuff

 

[BlizzScripts]

look to set a life u will need a dialog or anything that will life to the value:
Go to Varible In Trigger Editor
Creat a integer called life

integer life 0

Now set the triggger to value (x) //x == w/e you want

Life Value
Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set life = 40

Now when a unit enters a region u do the actions:

    Events
        Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Remove (Entering unit) from the game
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                life Less than or equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Custom script:     //Do the Win/lose Actions:
                Custom script:     call EndGame( true )
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: DEFEAT!
            Else - Actions
                Set life = (life - 1)

 

[Nightsisters]

what the prob is is that its like 500 options on If/Then/else. I cant find :nuts:

 

[BlizzScripts]

just press nwe action and press "i"
them enter

 

[Nightsisters]

i know where to find the If then else action. its the next step i cant find...
The:

If - Conditions
life Less than or equal to 0
Then - Actions
Custom script: //Do the Win/lose Actions:
Custom script: call EndGame( true )
Game - Display to (All players) the text: DEFEAT!
Else - Actions
Set life = (life - 1)

 

[BlizzScripts]

afet creat the if go to nw Condition and type "i" again them click on the first tab and put "life" the second tab put less than or equal to last tab put
0
. after that u need set your win/lose comand.
the else if for set life = life - 1
