Ninja_Sheep's question thread.

[AceHart]

You can't queue orders with triggers...

It's one order at a time.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

ok, then i have to fix it with an other trigger.

thx anyway

But new triggers do new questions:

Question 17: Solved

Is this trigger MUI???

Event:
   Unit- A unit finishes the traning of a unit
Condition:
   (unit-type of (trained unit)) = MyUnit
Action:
   If, then else, action:
      Condition:
         (MyArea contains (position of(trained unit))) = true
      Then:
         Unit- Order (trained unit) to move a Center of (MyArea 2)
      Else:
         Unit- Order (trained unit) to move at Center of (MyArea 3)
   Wait 2.00 seconds
   Unit- Order (trained unit) to hold position

Im pretty sure this trigger is not MUI, but how do i get it MUI?!

thanks in advanced.

 

[Doom-Angel]

well if u remove the wait it would be MUI......
making MUI is pretty hard in GUI
if u can MPI is easier to do....

OK, then i got to find an other way to do it.

Question 18: Solved by doing other thing

This trigger dont works, how do i fix it?

Event:
   Every 2 seconds of game time (just example)
Condition:
   8unit-type of (ordered unit)) = MyUnit
Action:
   Order (Units in MyArea) to hold position

 

[AceHart]

There is no "ordered unit" with that event.

You do know that you don't need to type triggers here?
A right-click on your trigger's name offers "copy as text". Ready for pasting here.

Question 19:

Is there a way to change the terrain? for exapmle i want to do water on a spot, where gras was before. Is this possible? how?

Thanks in advanced.

 

[PurgeandFire]

I didn't quite understand you... but do you mean to change the terrain so water appears?

If so, you can use the deep water or shallow water tool and click the terrain to create water..

If you don't want the weird cliff things, I think you have to make your whole map water with the deep or shallow water tool, then raise the land and plateau the land so that you are able to lower the land to become water.

An alternative way is to use INfraNe's water plane doodad to create much better and transparent water.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

I know that. lol. Thx anyway

I wanna change the terrain IN GAME. I saw a map, in wich you can choose a terrain at the beginning (EotA). So there must be a way to do this :>

 

[Jolly chap*]

Yeah, I've seen that to. I don't have WE open, but I don't think there's a trigger to do that. But I don't have World Editor open, so I don't know.

Maybe it can work for JASS, but I have absolutely no experience with JASS. I can only do GUI.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

OK, i looked in WE. I just found things you can change the high of the terrain and the type of ground, but i didn't find any way to change for expample gras to water

edit:
New question:
Question 20: Solved

I got those 2 triggers

Event:
   If sadcasödlktro (doesn't matter)
Condition:
Action:
   Run MyTrigger

Event:
Condition:
Action:
Do smthing (doesn't matter what)
Turn off this trigger

Here's the problem: I want the second trigger to run only once, but the first shall run multiple times. How can i do that?

 

[AceHart]

Under boolean is a condition to see if a trigger is on or off.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

OK, i got another problem now... (with same trigger)

I got an action, that adds this event:

If a unit comes with in range of MyVariableUnit

[/CODE]

So, this is the action in the 1. trigger. Will it cause leaks if i add more events? such as... 500 events?

Here's trigger:

Event:
   Doesn't matter
Condition:
Action:
   Run MyTrigger
Or your solution:
   IF:
      MyTrigger is on = true
   Then:
      Run MyTrigger

Event:
Condition:
Action:
   Add to (1. trigger) the event (A unit comes withing range of 80 of MyVariableUnit)

If i take my solution it adds events over and over again. And your solution doesn't works because it doesn't take the Variable. It just takes the unit in the variable...
[/CODE]

 

[AceHart]

> it adds events over and over again

Well, then don't...

If (myUnitGroup contains <unit>) equal to false then
- Unit group - Add <unit> to myUnitGroup
- Trigger - Add event...


Occasionally, it happens that you get better replies when you forget about the perceived solution, and explain what the actual problem is.

 

[Ninja_sheep]

> it adds events over and over again

Well, then don't...

If (myUnitGroup contains <unit>) equal to false then
- Unit group - Add <unit> to myUnitGroup
- Trigger - Add event...

hmmm... okaaaay... But i think you understood it.

If (myUnitGroup contains <unit>) equal to false then
- Unit group - Add <unit> to myUnitGroup
- Trigger - Add event...

Hmmm, that would be a better solution. But isn't it possible to change those 3 lines of trigger with Jass?
THX

Question 21:

Event:
   A unit comes within 800 of MyUnit
Condition:
Action:
   Set Distanz_UnitTooMyUnit = (Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) an (Position of MyUnit))
   Set Pull_Direction = (angle from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to Position of MyUnit))
   For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Integer((Distanz_UnitTooMyunit))), do actions
      Loop - actions:
         Move (Triggering unit) instantly to ((position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 10 towards Pull_Direction degrees)
         Wait o.o1 seconds

What shall it do? Move the unit behind the MyUnit. The speed is: 10*100 (10= offset, 100= 0,01) per second. This does 1000 range per second. But why it doesn't works? (I attached Map + replay)

EDIT:
Question 22: Solved
This dont works. Why?

Event:
   A unit gets an order with an object as target
Condition:
   (Issued order) = (Order((Name of MySpell)))
Action:
   Doesn't matter

 

[Ninja_sheep]

You mean "A unit is issued an order targetting an object"?

Also, you don't use the spell name, but rather the base order ID, like coldarrowson rather than Cold Arrows.

 

[Anything.]

Um, because the order is like 'Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning' not 'Ultimate Blade of 00ber Lightning Bolt FTW'?

Eh, what are you getting at? Your trigger so far would work anytime any unit is told to do anything.

 

[Doom-Angel]

can u give us the copied original version?
we can't help u like this.......

 

[Ninja_sheep]

owww... k, here's the full trigger:

Event:
   A unit is issued an order targetting an object
Condition:
   Issued order = o(order((Name of MySpell))) (MySpell is based on  the hammer throwing spell )
Action:
   Set Caster = Ordered unit
   Set C_fly_hight = (Default flying height of (ordered unit))
   Set Grapped_Unit = (Target unit of issued order)
   Change caster flying height to 45 at 2000
   Order Caster to move at (Position of Grapped_Unit)
   Wait 0.5 seconds
   Add classification of Land-Unit to Caster
   Remove classification of an air-unit from Caster
   Run MyTrigger1 (checking conditions)
   Turn on MyTrigger2

lol, im tipping my ass off Hope this will help

edit:

exactly!
