Multiple Questions.

[-Brainiac-]

Hey I got a few problems to fix and then I can bring out my map but first the questions...

(Maybe some simple questions but I'm not that good at Map making (yet))

Q1. Creating a Timer like this:

• Event
  • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Start Dead_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
  • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title ((Name of (Triggering unit)) + wil revive in<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />
  • Custom script: call Destroy*(udg_Death_Timer)

Q2. My text doesn't fit in the timer window... How do I make the horizontal wide of the timerwindow bigger?

Q3. How do you make the money of a player decrease when his hero dies? like; "Hero dies, then the player loses (Hero level)x(35) gold"?

Q4. Somehow I can't get the camera working... I got this:

• Hero Reviving
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (A hero from the Northern Forces died, and will come back to life in 20 seconds: + (Proper name of (Triggering unit)))
        • Countdown Timer - Start Dead_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
        • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title ((Name of (Triggering unit)) + will revive in<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />
        • Wait 20.00 game-time seconds
        • Set TempPoint = (Center of Heroes North &lt;gen&gt;)
        • Hero - Instantly revive (Triggering unit) at TempPoint, Hide revival graphics
        • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to TempPoint over 0.00 seconds
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 5 (Yellow)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (A hero from the Southern Forces died, and will come back to life in 20 seconds: + (Proper name of (Triggering unit)))
        • Countdown Timer - Start Dead_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
        • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title ((Name of (Triggering unit)) + will revive in<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />
        • Wait 20.00 game-time seconds
        • Set TempPoint = (Center of Heroes South &lt;gen&gt;)
        • Hero - Instantly revive (Triggering unit) at TempPoint, Hide revival graphics
        • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to TempPoint over 0.00 seconds
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
      • Else - Actions

Note: this includes my countdown timer as you see...

    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_Players_North)

Q6. If anything in my triggers is wrong please correct me!

*: What is supposed to be here?

Thanks in Advance, Regards Brain

 

[reyghost]

I can answer only to Q3 and not sure if its correct

• trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is a Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set player = (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Player - Set player Current gold to ((player Current gold) - ((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) x 35))

Not sure if its valid for all players in the game (is that called MPI?) not sure if "triggering unit" is and if that player var will work.

 

[-Brainiac-]

Thanks, I'll try if it works! Will tell you in 10 mins how it went

EDIT:

this is what I did:

• Loss trough Death
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Player = (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Player - Set Player Current gold to ((Player Current gold) - ((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) x 35))
      • Else - Actions

Just need to test it... hold on ^^

Does work but, i'm doubting myself if it will take the gold from all players or just the particallury one?... Think all players maybe reyghost's trigger was better...

+rep for you ^^

 

[Komaqtion]

Yeah, use reyghost's one instead

1. Well, I'm not really sure what the question is here, but here's how i'd do the revive stuff (Which basically is questions 1 and 4 )

• Start Timer
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Triggering unit)
    • Countdown Timer - Start Death_Timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Death_Timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] with title Your Hero will revi...
    • Countdown Timer - Hide (Last created timer window)
    • Countdown Timer - Show (Last created timer window) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Death_Window[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Last created timer window)

• Destroy Timer
  • Events
    • Time - Death_Timer[1] expires
    • Time - Death_Timer[2] expires
    • Time - Death_Timer[3] expires
    • Time - Death_Timer[4] expires
    • Time - Death_Timer[5] expires
    • Time - Death_Timer[6] expires
    • Time - Death_Timer[7] expires
    • Time - Death_Timer[8] expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Remaining time for Death_Timer[(Integer A)]) Less than or equal to 0.00
            • (Temp_Hero[(Integer A)] is alive) Not equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Countdown Timer - Pause Death_Timer[(Integer A)]
            • Countdown Timer - Destroy Death_Window[(Integer A)]
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Temp_Hero[(Integer A)] belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Set TempPoint = (Center of Region 1 &lt;gen&gt;)
                • Hero - Instantly revive Temp_Hero[(Integer A)] at TempPoint, Hide revival graphics
                • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of Temp_Hero[(Integer A)]) to TempPoint over 0.00 seconds
                • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
              • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Temp_Hero[(Integer A)] belongs to an ally of Player 5 (Yellow)) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Set TempPoint = (Center of Region 2 &lt;gen&gt;)
                • Hero - Instantly revive Temp_Hero[(Integer A)] at TempPoint, Hide revival graphics
                • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of Temp_Hero[(Integer A)]) to TempPoint over 0.00 seconds
                • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

And, for question 2... There really isn't a way, of my knowledge at least

If you really need it, then you can use a multiboard, but I won't suggest it...
I'd simply suggest you to change the text

5. For this to work, you'll simply have to set the created visibliti modifiers to a variable, and destroy them before creating another one, like:

• Visibility Remove
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Black mask across Region 1 &lt;gen&gt;
        • Set Visibility[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created visibility modifier)

• Visibility Add
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 1 &lt;gen&gt;
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Visibility - Destroy Visibility[(Player number of (Picked player))]
        • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Visibility across Region 1 &lt;gen&gt;
        • Set Visibility[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created visibility modifier)

Note: Just an example, but you get what I mean, I hope

 

[-Brainiac-]

Wow thanks, I'll try a little here and there ^^
Would rep you but i can't...

Thanks again!

 

[Komaqtion]

Hehe np

Crossing my fingers for the Public Beta soon

 

[reyghost]

My trigger will near 90% work for 1 guy diying,but not sure if 2 heroes dying near at the same time will make it work wrong.Not sure how fast it is to set that var, retrieve the gold,set the var again for the other player and retrieve the gold for this new player.
Anyone can confirm?,Komaqtion?

 

[Komaqtion]

It's MUI, if that's what you're asking

A trigger with no wait is (As good as) always MUI, so don't worry

 

[reyghost]

Ok ty for the tip

 

[-Brainiac-]

• (Remaining time for Death_Timer[(Integer A)]) Less than or equal to 0.00

What condition type is this?

 

[Komaqtion]

Real Comparison -> Countdown Timer- Remaining Time

:thup:

 

[-Brainiac-]

Ok ^^ Thanks, but why couldn't I just destroy my timer window in this trigger:

• * Hero Reviving
  • o Events
    • + Unit - A unit Dies
  • o Conditions
  • o Actions
    • + If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • # If - Conditions
        • * ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        • * ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
      • # Then - Actions
        • * Game - Display to (All players) the text: (A hero from the Northern Forces died, and will come back to life in 20 seconds: + (Proper name of (Triggering unit)))
        • * Countdown Timer - Start Dead_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
        • * Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title ((Name of (Triggering unit)) + will revive in<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />
        • * Wait 20.00 game-time seconds
        • * Set TempPoint = (Center of Heroes North &lt;gen&gt;)
        • * Hero - Instantly revive (Triggering unit) at TempPoint, Hide revival graphics
        • * Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to TempPoint over 0.00 seconds
        • * Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
      • # Else - Actions
    • + If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • # If - Conditions
        • * ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        • * ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of Player 5 (Yellow)) Equal to True
      • # Then - Actions
        • * Game - Display to (All players) the text: (A hero from the Southern Forces died, and will come back to life in 20 seconds: + (Proper name of (Triggering unit)))
        • * Countdown Timer - Start Dead_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 20.00 seconds
        • * Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title ((Name of (Triggering unit)) + will revive in<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />
        • * Wait 20.00 game-time seconds
        • * Set TempPoint = (Center of Heroes South &lt;gen&gt;)
        • * Hero - Instantly revive (Triggering unit) at TempPoint, Hide revival graphics
        • * Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to TempPoint over 0.00 seconds
        • * Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
      • # Else - Actions

Little weird... but anyway. if I did something like call destorylastcreated timerwindow ?

saves me work xd

 

[Komaqtion]

Well, both because "Last created timer window" will be overwritten when another hero dies, and also because it's not good to use waits

 

[-Brainiac-]

ah ok... well then I have to remake a few triggers :$

 

[Komaqtion]

 

[-Brainiac-]

Note: Just an example, but you get what I mean, I hope

But I want it as a command so the players could pick wethever they want to have a visable, or not visable map to play on....?



EDIT:

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL WE BUGGED! LOST EVERYTHING

 

[Komaqtion]

But I want it as a command so the players could pick wethever they want to have a visable, or not visable map to play on....?

Well, then use this:

• Visibility Command On
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -fogon as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Visibility - Destroy Visibility[(Player number of (Picked player))]
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Fog of war across Region 1 &lt;gen&gt;
    • Set Visibility[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created visibility modifier)

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL WE BUGGED! LOST EVERYTHING

Huh ?!?! :S

 

[-Brainiac-]

Ok ill try, but my map is quite delayed because I lost 3 hours of work yesterday... Not really in the mood to do it all over again :S...

And, yes I have extremly bad luck this week, I'm sick... Lost my voice, got a headache etc...

So might take a few more days...

Regards

 

[Komaqtion]

Well, good luck :thup:

 

[-Brainiac-]

Well, good luck :thup:
