Multi-Trigger?

[FMAlchemist]

well, i got a trigger, that if a player pressed the LEFT arrow key, it plays a cinimatic, of just text, and a black screen. ( i did black screen by zooming really close into the ground. because fade seems to ally to all players)

and in 1 player it works like a charm, but when testing it with other players, it seems to screw up.

like. if player 1 press left, and is watching the cinimatic. and 10sec later, player 2 press`s left, the cinimatic seems to kind of glitch up.

both players r running it of the same tirgger. (i think this is the problem) is there a way to like, split the trigger, into 2 for both players, but only using 1 trigger?

~~

edit: they are ment to watch the cinimatic at seperaite times.

Hmm...

Variable arrays?

I don't know what the trigger looks like?

Post code please?

Yeah it's because of the waits in there that it F's up,

What it's doing is while it's in the transmission it's showing that for the triggering player, but if a new player becomes the triggering player then warcraft is like "WTF!?".

So make a variable let's say, called "teamSelectPlayer" with an array size of how ever many players are able to play. e.g teamSelectPlayer[10]

And when the trigger, triggers...

Set teamSelectPlayer[Player Number of (Triggering Player)] = Triggering Player

Or how ever it is, then just refer to that player.

If what Choppa said, did not work, or you did not manage to get it right, or whatever... try something like this. I would have used this ?

Untitled Trigger 003
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Releases the Left Arrow key
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Flying Machine for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Kill (Last created unit)

Untitled Trigger 004
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Flying Machine
    Actions
        Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit))))

Then just replace "Triggering Player" with "Triggering Unit", and while I am at it;

Set Player_lockon_unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created unit)

There is no "Triggering unit" in your trigger, so that line, is a bit...feel me?

 

[FMAlchemist]

so i kind of dont get. how WC wont get confused by this trigger, as much as it did from my original trigger :S.

because then the "triggering unit" will change as each player does the triggers the trigger.

[FMAlchemist]

bump-ba-dump ~

can i have some more opinion on this please? because its kinda ahrd to test it with myself.

~~

 

[Larcenist]

Whenever you use a wait in your triggers, everything such as "Triggering Unit", "Target unit of ability being cast" etc is lost. So just store the "Triggering player" into a variable as Choppa said and that should do it.

 

[FMAlchemist]

Set teamSelectPlayer[Player Number of (Triggering Player)] = Triggering Player

i still dont get how i would reffer to that player, without using "triggering player"

~~

 

[FMAlchemist]

bump~

wouldn`t

teamSelectPlayer[Player Number of (Triggering Player)]

be the same as

Playergroup(triggeringplayer)

 

[Choppa]

I'm not 100% sure, I wouldn't think so because with the first one you're getting the number of players, the other one you're putting the players in a group.
My WE isn't opening so I can't test anything.

 

[FMAlchemist]

herms, well i dont get like when you have "playergroup(triggering player)"

and it didnt work because the "triggering player" variable has been lost due to someone else interfeering and becoming the new "triggering player".

right?

so "teamSelectPlayer[Player Number of (Triggering Player)]"

wouldn't warcraft lose the "triggering player" part of this variable?

like the tirggering player will change half way through.. ?

~~

 

[Choppa]

No it won't, var[0] isn't the same as var[1], they can hold different values.

Umm... I can't remember how to set it to the triggering player but just try look for it,

Set blah[Player Number] = *PLAYER WHO PRESSED THE KEY*

Oh man idk, I don't even have WE.
