Need help with this timer...

[turok255]

So im making a king of the hill map. If you go into the region (The Hill) The timer starts... First person to get their timer to X amount of seconds wins the game. The only problem with this trigger is.. If you have 20 units in the middle all yours and 1 leaves the timer stops. The timer active for the person with the most units in the middle. Heres the trigger.

activateTimer
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Hill <gen>
        Unit - A unit leaves Hill <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Leaderboard - Sort leaderBoardTimerKeeper by Value in Descending order
        Set ownerOfMostUnits = (Player in position 1 of leaderBoardTimerKeeper)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by ownerOfMostUnits) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        ((Entering unit) is in (Units owned by ownerOfMostUnits)) Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                        Trigger - Turn on timer <gen>
                    Else - Actions
                        Trigger - Turn off timer <gen>

Im not exactly sure if theres an easy way to fix this so it still works. I can post all the triggers for the timer if needed but this is the main problem probabaly.

oh god milliseconds, text flying through the screen.

anyway. your problem is that you turn off the time trigger when a unit leaves. Instead of turning off the trigger, just sort the leaderboard again, if Player in row 1 not equal to playermostunits, then set playermostunits = Player in row 1

Also when I go into combat the timer stops?


So what exactly would I need to change? I didn't make this triggerI tried and it was a bloody mess. Im afraid to change it incase it stops working

bump

im kinda confused on what you want to happen

should the timer run when there are mixed players in the middle? (based on who has the most units) or only run when theres only one player?

Sorry, i'm so tired i didn't even have enough power to read whole trigger... Anyways i try to make you some triggers for king of the hill map...

TimerStart
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters No region
    Conditions
    Actions
        If ((Number of units in (Units in No region owned by (Owner of (Entering unit)))) Equal to 0) then do (Countdown Timer - Start Timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Entering unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in 300.00 seconds) else do (Do nothing)

TimerStop
    Events
        Unit - A unit leaves No region
    Conditions
    Actions
        If ((Number of units in (Units in No region owned by (Owner of (Entering unit)))) Equal to 0) then do (Countdown Timer - Pause Timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Leaving unit)))]) else do (Do nothing)

Win
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 1 (Red) in (Last created leaderboard) to (Integer((Remaining time for Timer[1])))
        Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 2 (Blue) in (Last created leaderboard) to (Integer((Remaining time for Timer[2])))
        Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 3 (Teal) in (Last created leaderboard) to (Integer((Remaining time for Timer[3])))
        Leaderboard - Sort (Last created leaderboard) by Value in Descending order
        If ((Remaining time for Timer[1]) Equal to 0.00) then do (Game - Victory Player 1 (Red) (Show dialogs, Show scores)) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Remaining time for Timer[2]) Equal to 0.00) then do (Game - Victory Player 2 (Blue) (Show dialogs, Show scores)) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Remaining time for Timer[3]) Equal to 0.00) then do (Game - Victory Player 3 (Teal) (Show dialogs, Show scores)) else do (Do nothing)

In the last trigger, you must do the action where you can store many actions and defeat other players, i just don't have TFT so can't make it.
The last trigger is pretty bad.

It should run when atleast 1 player is in the middle... for the player with the most units..even while in combat.

But This trigger stops whenever I fight something, Or when 1 unit leaves the region but that player still has 20 more in it. and I don't want that.

Bump, Still having the same problems with it

 

[WilliamPa]

Did u even test my triggers

 

[Macintuss]

sorry to revive a dead thread but i need this king of the hill code. WilliamPa your code looks PERFECT to me but i cant find

If ((Number of units in (Units in No region owned by (Owner of (Entering unit)))) Equal to 0)

ANYWHERE! i've spent like 45 min now and ive gotten frustrated enough to post in here. Thanks if you reply.
