Random Destructable

[DDRtists]

ok, im having a problum with a hero seige type map, that has a mini game. the game has about 20 gates, and i want them to randomly open wait about 1.30 seconds and close, well i can open them fine, but when i try to close them, i dont know how to store them, because if i open 2 at a time, the first one doesnt close, it just stays open and it closes the second one twice :nuts: can anyone help plz

How are you opening and closing them?

You can put them in an array variable of type: "Destructible" and do your actions on that variable instead of the Last Created Destructible.

The solution is simple
It's name is LOCAL VARS

The solution with less JASS involved requires to declare a global var, call it for exemple RndDestructable.
Then add this line at the very top of the trigger

Custom script: local destructable udg_RndDestructable

Then use all over your trigger the global variable to store the random destructable.
In fact, the game will use the local one and the second value will not erase the first one.

Thanks SO much

what do i use to close it tho, last create destructable?

I still need some help with this

Make a destructible variable with array size 20, at map init set each 1-20 to a different gate. To open them do like..

Set RNDMIntegerVar = Math - Random # between 1-20
For each integer <RNDMIntegerVar> - <RNDMIntegerVar> do -
- Destructible - Open <Gate[For each integer A]>
- Wait 1.3 game time seconds
- Destructible - Close <Gate[for each integer A]>

The reason I put it in a For Each Integer is because it basically converts the global integer variable 'RNDMIntegerVar' into a local. It works throughout the For Each Integer

"For each A" uses the JASS global variable bj_forLoopAIndex, so it's not like converting the global variable to a local. It's more like using another global instead. And if any trigger uses a "For each A" loop during the 1.3 waiting time, the value of the variable will change.

To close the door use Destructible - Close <Your_variable> the same way you open the gate with Destructible - Open <Your_variable>
Remember to first set the value of the variable with something like Set <Your_variable> = Random destructible in <region> matching <condition>
