Random Region??

[vexoh]

Is it possible to make a unit appear in a random region? say i place 10 Regions around my map, Is their anyway i can make it create the unit at any 1 of them at complete random and also create a ping at the chosen region?

you could do it something like this

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set IntegerVariable = (Random integer number between 1 and 10)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • IntegerVariable Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Cinematic - Ping minimap for Player Group - Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) for 1.00 seconds
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • IntegerVariable Equal to 2
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- etc... --------
          • Else - Actions

Like this?

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set RandomRegion = (Random integer number between 1 and 5)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • RandomRegion Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Region 000 <gen>)
        • Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Center of Region 000 <gen>) for 1.00 seconds
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • RandomRegion Equal to 2
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Region 001 <gen>)
            • Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) for 1.00 seconds
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • RandomRegion Equal to 3
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Region 002 <gen>)
                • Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Center of Region 002 <gen>) for 1.00 seconds
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • RandomRegion Equal to 4
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Region 003 <gen>)
                    • Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Center of Region 003 <gen>) for 1.00 seconds
                  • Else - Actions
                    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                      • If - Conditions
                        • RandomRegion Equal to 5
                      • Then - Actions
                        • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Region 004 <gen>)
                        • Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Center of Region 004 <gen>) for 1.00 seconds
                      • Else - Actions
                        • Do nothing

Btw, RandomInteger is a Variable

I think those solutions are way to complicated and would suggest doing it like this:

Initialization:

set Region[0] = Region 000
set Region[1] = Region 001
set Region[2] = Region 002
set Region[3] = Region 003
set Region[4] = Region 004
set Region[5] = Region 005
set Region[6] = Region 006
set Region[7] = Region 007
set Region[8] = Region 008
set Region[9] = Region 009

Trigger:

set Temp_Point = Center of (Region[(Random integer number between 0 and 9)])
Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at Temp_Point facing Default building facing degrees
Cinematic - Ping minimap for Player Group - Player 1 (Red) at Temp_Point for 1.00 seconds
Custom Script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Temp_Point)

The method MPR suggested is inefficient.

If those Regions are permanent, well don't move. Just preset them at the beginning and grant a random number to select which one.
As jnZ has shown above with this line:
set Temp_Point = Center of (Region[(Random integer number between 0 and 9)])

 

[vexoh]

Im no good with Jass :l
so cant really understand that

 

[jnZ]

nothing posted here was jass. all those are actions you can select in the GUI

 

[vexoh]

sorry, whats GUI

 

[Molehole]

GUI = Game user interface meaning no Jass, only World-editor commands. Go to "Triggers" and then just add the events, conditions and actions just like these guys said putting all the variables/regions to your corresponding regions.

 

[krainert]

Technically, GUI is for Graphical User Interface...
jnZ's suggestion should be doable in pure GUI (with no Jass), though.

 

[KaerfNomekop]

Doable? The whole chunk of code is GUI, just in [noparse]

tags instead of

tags. [/noparse]

Here's what it looks like in [noparse]

[/noparse] tags:

• set Region[0] = Region 000
  • set Region[1] = Region 001
  • set Region[2] = Region 002
  • set Region[3] = Region 003
  • set Region[4] = Region 004
  • set Region[5] = Region 005
  • set Region[6] = Region 006
  • set Region[7] = Region 007
  • set Region[8] = Region 008
  • set Region[9] = Region 009

• set Temp_Point = Center of (Region[(Random integer number between 0 and 9)])
  • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at Temp_Point facing Default building facing degrees
  • Cinematic - Ping minimap for Player Group - Player 1 (Red) at Temp_Point for 1.00 seconds
  • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Temp_Point)

This is what we call GUI - the basic interface.

 

[krainert]

Yeah, sorry, I haven't looked at Wc3 for a while so I wasn't entirely sure all of it was GUI
