Movement

[DeOakenfold]

I am making a DOTA type solo game as well and have no idea what it is that I’m doing ... I am at the point that I’m having the non-player characters move from region to region but I want to make sure that when my Hero enters the region they don’t follow the path that I created for the non-player characters.

That’s where I’m at as of now.

More Q's to come ...

 

[Stealphish]

use this condition

player comparison - owner of triggering unit is not player x

Thanks,

but now i have run into another problem... the spawns arent moveing ... whats the commmand to get them to move from gen to gen

 

[Stealphish]

[DeOakenfold]

EVENT

A unit enters region 1

CONDITION

player comparison - owner of triggering unit is (creep player)

ACTION

Unit - Issue order targeting a point, attack-move to region 2.

This will automatically move the units when the spawns put them in the first region.

New Idea For A Hero

Ok, Here is a long shot.

I want to creat a 3 or 4 step groth in the hero as they level... (i.e. A Nightelf Runner is the first spawn. at level 5 the forn changes into something more advanced a lvl 10 it happens again.) perhaps even a way to have the player choose the upgrade level to level, each level the outcome is different.

is there a way to do this and is there something to help me figure out how to do this.

its a long shot I know but I though it would be a neat idea.

P.S. i have access to a pc now ... so please post a map if you need to. and again like I said ... more Q's to come, you poeple are a great help thankyou.

 

[DeOakenfold]

one more thing for now

I remember reading some where on a thered that you can have the comp creat a hero something haveing to do with the varible 1-4 or something.
i looked for it and couldnt find it otherwise i wouldnt have asked again.


and thanks again

Its not that tough - but its a LOT of programming tecnique.

Really you just need a trigger to handleing the level up.

When the hero levels, if its 5, or 10, remove the hero and spawn the new one. Don't forget to keep track of what items they had.

You could create some unit arrays to store which heros spawn into which, and arrays to temporarily store the items for them.

I'd write some triggers for you when I got home, but I train tonight and I have surgery tomorrow, so I won't be available for a while.

So, roughly, off the top of my head, try something like this.

For a equals 1 to 4 (max number of heros in array)
{
If (triggering unit) type = Our_Heros[A] then do multiple actions
{
For b equals 1 to 6
{
Our_Items = inventory slot of (triggering unit)
}
Remove triggering unit from the game
Create 1 New_Heros[A] for owner of (triggering unit)
For b equals 1 to 6
{
Give unit item Our_Items
}
} Else do nothing
}

ok ... well ... I'll try something new.

I must say that the map is comming along nicely ... its doesnt look all that great but its acting like a real DOTA map now!

CREEP HERO SPAWN

i still need help getting the creep to spawn a hero, and get the creep to randomly pick it.

if you have time.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

Creeps do not level up, so I don't know how you intend to do that.

[X] I did it for you and uploaded the map. Heros change class when they level up, and they keep their items. Also shows special revive effect.

[X] I am the man.

Ryoko.

Leveling-up like a mofo

Thank you very much!

but ... now how do i connect the spicific unit to another (there are going to be a couple) and transfer lvl info and almost the same hero but with a different body?
I'll give it a try ... but any hints you have would be great.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

damn man....

If you notice, they keeper and the paladin follow different paths... you'll have to add to the array as necessary, and customize it. Just change the conditions to see if the hero is allowed to "UP" a class.

To transfer LEVEL, just STORE the level of the hero into a variable, then GIVE the level to the new heros. Just like I did for the items.

 

[DeOakenfold]

....NEEEEW

sorry ... please, give me time, i'm new at this

 

[DeOakenfold]

Level array

i cant seem to figure out how to save the lvl as a varable .... 90 min later ... still confused

 

[SD_Ryoko]

I understand your new, but if you look around, its all there.

Do this to save.

One variable, integer, no array, "Hero_Level"

Set Hero_Level = (Hero level of (Triggering unit))

Do this to restore

Hero - Set (Last created unit) Hero-level to Hero_Level, Hide level-up graphics

Add that to my map in the right spots. Good luck.
