Problem with attacks draining gold

[ROTS19]

i made a trigger that when a unit attacks then a certain ammount of gold is drained from the player. that part works just fine. But i also tried to make it so that when the player researches a certain upgrade, that it drains less gold on each attack. This is the part that doesn't work.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Capacity
  • Actions
    • Set CapResearched[(Player number of (Owner of (Researching unit)))] = True

• S
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Peon
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Owner of (Attacking unit)) Current gold) Less than 4
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop
        • Skip remaining actions
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • CapResearched[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))] Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Add -2 to (Owner of (Attacking unit)) Current gold
      • Else - Actions
        • Player - Add -4 to (Owner of (Attacking unit)) Current gold

The problem is that even when the upgrade is researched, 4 gold is drained anyway. What's wrong with the triggers?

Use the Upgrade Pillage?

That takes gold from the enemy, not the attacker.


Hmm, maybe try setting it to Triggering Unit in the first trigger

 

[ROTS19]

unfortunately, that did not do the trick

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

Put second If - in the else loop of the first one.

 

[ROTS19]

didn't work either where's acehart? lol

enjoying life!

try removing the skip remaining action part! that should fix it

 

[ROTS19]

But that's only their to keep it from draining gold if the player doesn't have enough to attack. If i took out, it would still drain gold even if the player didn't have enough.

Create a second trigger for this. The first trigger for the beginning and the second one for the upgrade.

Well this might not be practical... How many times does it upgrade?

 

[ROTS19]

It only has 1 level of upgrade

well, that didn't seem to work either

is this what you meant? i don't really understand why splitting them would have helped at all.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
  • Conditions
    • (Researched tech-type) Equal to Capacity
  • Actions
    • Set CapResearched[(Player number of (Owner of (Researching unit)))] = True

Problem Found! Event should be
Unit - A unit Finishes research
Because you use conditions of Researched tech-type, nothing to do with upgrading :thup:.
