how do u take away the "Ready for action" sound they make when they come out? I want to train them out of the barracks not create them with code.
SOLVED

 

[elmstfreddie]

You could... Delete the sound from existence.

 

[Thanatos_820]

But I don't think you can do that, I think you have to change the sound set to stop if from saying "Ready for action". If you want it out, give it no sound.

EDIT:

You probably have to replace the sound with some random sound, if you want it to have a sound, but isn't deleting.

 

[elmstfreddie]

Yeah, deleting may fux it up.

Best chance is to replace it with an empty sound file or something.

 

[DemonOfNight]

take the trigger i told you to take there:

Here!

 

[Newbwc3]

TY now it works the way i want it


NEXT QUESTION:

SOLVED

 

[elmstfreddie]

Something under player, like change alliance settings or something like that.

 

[Thanatos_820]

Mmmkay...

Player 1 Ally

        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions

            Then - Actions
                Player - Make (Triggering player) treat Player 2 (Blue) as an Ally

                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Entered chat string) Equal to -ally Purple
                            Then - Actions
                                Player - Make Player 1 (Red) treat Player 4 (Purple) as an Ally
                            Else - Actions

This was a quick trigger, but it should help you in some way. If you find another way of doing this then that's okay. There should be a shorter way though.

 

[Doom-Angel]

U know when u click allies and turn the shared unit control off by unchecking it. Well how do u do that with a trigger?

i think that's what u are look for...

Game - Set Lock alliance settings to On

 

[Newbwc3]

ok I figured a way around it, TY

[Newbwc3]

Figured out how to make human shipyard in air and take away the ground texture to make it look better but how do u make it float like up and down in air but you are not able to move it?
SOLVED

 

[Demonwrath]

Try changing the movement type to float, and the movement speed base to 0

 

[Doom-Angel]

1. Why are rep points so special?whats their use?

well what i know is that besides that it's looks good when u have all this green dots which say +2000 is also that it gives u a few functions i currently know only about 2 of them mabye there is more i never checked:

1) 100 Rep - u can change the text below ur name (e.g: instead of having User (what does this little red button do...?) u can write whatever u want )

2)500 Rep - u can put a signature

cause I'll give u guys some if u want em.

well in ur current rep situation ur rep doesn't have any meaning only if u have positive rep it realy adds something....

 

[Newbwc3]

Movement Height- 200
Movement Height Minimum- 200
Movement Speed Base- 0
Movemetn Speed Minimum- 0
Movement Speed Maximum- 0
Movement Turn Rate- 0.10

This looks like its set up to float up and down in the air to me...Why wont it work?

Here's an idea. Find out how the necropolis floats and copy off of that

 

[Thanatos_820]

Why are rep points so special?whats their use? cause I'll give u guys some if u want em.

They are signs of you helping people, doing good deeds, and whatever that's nice, you can also get them if a certain day passes, like Christmas for example.

As Doom-Angel said, they're just little green, red, or black "decoration bars" that give you more options once you have a certain about of positive reputation. Like for example:

+1 REPUTATION or -1 REPUTATION = Enable Add/Subtract Reputation (If you have positive reputation, you can give positive reputation and negative reputation, if you have negative reputation, you don't affect their reputation, but you still get it either way)
+100 REPUTATION = Enable Custom Title (Like mine, those words under my name)
+100 REPUTATION = Enable GIF. Avatars (You're allowed to use animated avatars)
+100 REPUTATION = Enable Extended Attachment Space (Increases attachment size space)
+100 REPUTATION = Enable Extended Avatar Space (Increases the size limit of all avatars you can use)
+500 REPUTATION = Enable Signature (Only a few users have this, like Daxtreme, or SFilip)
+1000 REPUTATION = Mystery (Barely any users get this option enabled, some kind of membership I guess)

And you give positive reputation for each green bar you have (I have 2 so I give +2 reputation, The Helper has 11, so he gives +11 reputation), but if you have negative reputation, you give no reputation or if you have no reputation. Only 1 user in the Helper.net has disabled reputation (Black Bars), which is a user whos name I can't spell correctly (But with the custom title of "/\ /\" and no avatar).

+1-99 Reputation = 1 Reputation Bar
+100-199 Reputation = 2 Reputation Bars
+200-299 Reputation = 3 Reputation Bars
+300-399 Reputation = 4 Reputation Bars
+400-499 Reputation = 5 Reputation Bars

And so on...but I think I got it incorrect .

That's all I know for that question.

Here's an idea. Find out how the necropolis floats and copy off of that

Isn't the floating necropolis an animation thing to cause it to float?

Also, if you want to do that, you'll have to slowly increase the height, and lower the height. The action to do that is:

Animation - Set (Your Unit's) current flying height to (Your height #) at (Your speed of choice)

You will have to repeat this process. You can use the periodic event thingamabob, but I think it might cause leaks if not triggered right...

For #2, here is an excellent tutorial (if I do say so myself cuz I created it =] ):
