Need Help - Trigger Issues - Creating Units

[liamthx]

Hi All,

I've tried numerous amounts of times to make this trigger work.

I want the game to check if any of the players have a specific name, for example, when I'm playing, my name is rectumslushy so I want the game to detect that I'm playing, and summon me a different builder at the start, rather than the regular builder.

Similar to the system used in Vampirism Fire.

Any help would be great.

Thanks, Liam

Event:
- Map init
Conditions:
Actions:
Pick every player in (All players) and do
- If Name of (Picked player) equal to ... then
- - Unit - Create 1 Big-o-cheater for (Picked player) at <somewhere> facing Default
- Else
- - Unit - Create 1 Pathetic-Peon for (Picked player) at <somewhere> facing Default

Yeah I got that far.

But I need it for 3 different names.

And creating that trigger results in 3 basic builders for someone who doesn't have the special name

 

[ZiggyMcjoney]

Just put another If/Then/Else in the "Else" of the first one.

Do that for each name, and then put the default builder at the end of the chain of if/then/elses.

I'd suggest to post what you tried.
After editing the names out of course, to protect the guilty.

Event
Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds

Conditions
((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing

Action
Player Group - Pick every player in HumanGroup and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If ((Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to NAME) then do (Unit - Create 1 specialunit for (Picked player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Unit - Create 1 Male Builder for (Picked player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees)



That's what I've got atm.

 

[AceHart]

Well, that condition is not working. You do not have any picked players there...

There's also no reason to run this 1 second into the game, map init will do.

And, the single line "if" doesn't work with this, unless you want a huge line of "name equal to this OR name equal to that OR name ...".

If
- Or - Multiple
- - Name of (Picked player) equal to ...
- - Name of (Picked player) equal to ...
Then
- special
Else
- Basic

 

[liamthx]

Ok. Will try that.

But that trigger you have just said.

I have a special model
for each special name detected
so will that still work for that?

 

[AceHart]

If Name equal to ...
- Unit - Create 1 special 1...
If Name equal to ...
- Unit - Create 1 special 2...
If Name equal to ...
- Unit - Create 1 special 3...
...
If
- Or - Multiple
- Name NOT EQUAL TO ...
- Name NOT EQUAL TO ...
- Name NOT EQUAL TO ...
...
Then
- Unit - Create 1 "normal"

 

[liamthx]

Ok, Thanks.

I just tried this.
I think it's the same.

Event
Map initialization

Conditions

Action
If ((Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to rectumslushy) then do (Unit - Create 1 rectumslushy for (Triggering player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)

If ((Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to fCuK]D.) then do (Unit - Create 1 fCuK]D. for (Triggering player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)

If ((Name of (Triggering player)) Equal to analinfestation) then do (Unit - Create 1 analinfestation for (Triggering player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)

If ((Name of (Triggering player)) Not equal to (rectumslushy + (analinfestation + fCuK]D.))) then do (Unit - Create 1 Male Builder for (Triggering player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)



This didn't work though =\

 

[AceHart]

Well, name1 + name2 + name3 = name1name2name3...

 

[liamthx]

I don't get what your trying to say?

 

[AceHart]

The last if tests for some name that can't possibly exist.

Besides, "triggering player"? You don't have one.
Put that entire thing inside a "pick every player", and change it to "picked player".

 

[liamthx]

Ok your idea worked.
The trigger now works.
There is only one last issue with it now.

This is what it currently is.

Event
Map initialization

Conditions

Action
Player Group - Pick every player in HumanGroup and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If ((Name of (Picked player)) Equal to rectumslushy) then do (Unit - Create 1 rectumslushy for (Picked player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
If ((Name of (Picked player)) Equal to fCuK]D.) then do (Unit - Create 1 fCuK]D. for (Picked player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
If ((Name of (Picked player)) Equal to analinfestation) then do (Unit - Create 1 analinfestation for (Picked player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
If ((Name of (Picked player)) Not equal to (rectumslushy + (analinfestation + fCuK]D.))) then do (Unit - Create 1 Male Builder for (Picked player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)

And this works, except when the special name is detected, both the male builder, and special builder are created.

Do you know how to only have the special builder be created when the name is detected?
Thanks

If ((Name of (Picked player)) Not equal to (rectumslushy) or ((Name of (Picked player)) Not equal to (analinfestation) or ((Name of (Picked player)) Not equal to fCuK]D.)) then do (Unit - Create 1 Male Builder for (Picked player) at (Player 1 (Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)

Or - Condition

Post #9.

 

[liamthx]

I tried that just then.

Still got the same problem.

I will test it again though
