Hello again, everyone. In the middle of a map i am making, a dialog appears and gives the players choices. Each dialog button allows the player to create units, buildings, etc. So in my trigger my event is "a dialog button has been clicked" then the condition "clicked dialog button equal to... etc."

Here is where my question comes in. In my actions, lets say i want to create a unit called... the Dark Lord. So would i create the Dark Lord for the triggering player (being the one who is clicking the dialog button)? I had it set as a variable before but there were problems, but as long as its set on triggering player, then those units will ONLY be created for the person clicking on the dialog button, right? Because that's what i want to happen.

As a variable my problem was that the units were not being created for the right people so i don't think thats the right way to go about it.

In some of those triggers, i have triggers that are like "for each integer, do trigger etc." and the trigger it runs creates more units. In that second trigger do i still create the units for the triggering player?

I'm sorry if i sound confusing, anything you need clarified please ask. Thank you in advance for any help you could offer.
 
You were right, you choose the triggering player,
and i dont get what you mean the second question.

Hm... that actually was the way to go...

Set <some variable of type player> = (Triggering Player)
and use that variable everywhere.

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
