Making income

[thenoobmaper]

Ive been wondering how to make income for citizen units. Im currently using a "healing" tax paying abilty, I.E when a unit casts "pay taxes" (heal) abilty the owner gets 10 gold and the units life is set to 98%, causing a loop.
If somebody can figure out a way to make a villager-builder type income please help me because it would be of great help

Thanks

EVENTS:
a unit begins casting an ability
CONDITIONS:
ability being cast equal to healing tax
ACTIONS:
Add +10 (property) to X player's current gold
Set life of (triggering unit) to percentage of 98

Actually,

Events
Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
Ability being cast "your ability here"
Actions
Add +10 (property) to X player's current gold
Set life of (triggering unit) to percentage of 98

"a unit begins casting an ability" tends not to work sometimes, or at all.

Thank you anyways though

Events
Every X seconds of game time

Ok heres what i mean

I want the owner of the unit to get 10 gold every 30 seconds PER citizen unit, without having to cast an ability!

thank you!!!! i shouldve know that, but is there an alternate way to do that without so many triggers? cause that would take forever, with all the combinations and 12 player slots. thatd be like 1000 triggers lol

 

[thenoobmaper]

If there isnt an alternate way could you at least tell me where to find the condition for that lol? what is it under?

 

[Rabarber]

Number of units in (Player Group) * 20

Should do it.

 

[NiKaNoRoU_GR]

I don't know.I saw one exatly the same on another post, which sounds probably right.

 

[thenoobmaper]

nope

sorry rabarber but i dont think that that's a real condition, and i looked for it!

 

[Rabarber]

Its not a condition! It's a Arithmetic Real/Integer!

Remove all conditions and set the players gold to my trigger string.

 

[thenoobmaper]

ok sorry im a newb mapper (as the name says) but would this be under events? and if so whats the name of it?

 

[Rabarber]

It would be under actions. Use my action string instead of the ammount of gold given to the player.

 

[thenoobmaper]

im getting confused. Ok. Is the event for this under "map inintialzation"?
And when i paste what you wrote to the amout of gold given, a 0 is just shown in the place where your code should be. :nuts:

 

[thenoobmaper]

answer me any time soon :banghead:

 

[Rabarber]

Don't double post.

You can't copy/paste text from what people have written. You will have to copy it manually.

 

[thenoobmaper]

yeah but is the event for this "map initialization?"

And would ur code go under "add to current gold" or "set current gold"?

 

[thenoobmaper]

ANSWER ME!!!
