Regular growing

[Marrusian]

Hello,

My question is this : I can make a trigger to grow my hero scaling value like 0.10 on every level ?

I set the hero level 20 but i don't know how to set this trigger.

The second : I can make a trigger when i reach lvl 20 a special monster to appear ?

Thx, I hope you can help me.

The first question should be easy

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Gains a level
    Conditions
    Actions
        Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s size to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) of its original size

Just change the size and the name of the trigger. And maybe add a condition (for what kind of Hero - depending on how you want it to be).

The second question, though..
I'm sure it can be done.. Not sure what you want to do, though.
Maybe explain a little better...
What kind of Monster? Who should own this Monster? (Friend or foe) Why a Monster?

-Should be do-able with the same trigger as above, but add an If Hero's level is equal to 20 - or something

EDIT: Maybe something like this:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Gains a level
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set L = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s size to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) of its original size
        If ((Level of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 20) then do (Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at L facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_L)

Set L = ... and
Custom Script: ...
Are there to remove the memory leak.

If ((Level of (Triggering unit)) can be found under:
-New Action -> If/Then/Else -> Integer Compirasion -> Unit - Level of Unit

Hero is DreadLord (thx for trigger)

Eh idea it was this : When someone reach lvl 20 a Granite Golem (Level 20) appear from a portal. (surelly granite it will be editated to be more powerfull) and when someone kill him the game end with his victory ...

 

[Exide]

Ah, I see.
Well. Create a Custom Made Unit. Base of Granite Golem (or a Hero if you want it to use spells - it doesn't really matter much, but personally I use Heroes as bosses )
Ok. Once you've got your 'EndBoss' set.
Try mixing a little with the trigger.
Just a question. This Dark Portal of yours.. Is it pre-placed on the map? Or is it a special effect or something? Or is it a Unit?

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Gains a level
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set L = (Position of ('Dark_Portal'))
        Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s size to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) of its original size
        If ((Level of (Triggering unit)) Equal to 20) then do (Unit - Create 1 'EndBoss' for (Player 12 (Brown))) at L facing Default building facing degrees) else do (Do nothing)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_L)

The Set Variable (Set L) part will surely change, depending on what/where your portal is. You could also place a Region at this portal (whatever it is ) and do this:

        Set L = (Center of (Dark_Portal_Region))

-Or something similar.
Maybe you want to add a Special Effect or something nice, also?:

         Special Effect - Create a special effect at L using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_L)

-Be sure to place the Special Effect before you Destroy L. Or else it won't work
Also, choose a special effect that you like. ThunderClap is rather ugly ^^
Destroy (Last created Special effect) is to remove any Memory leaks (which might cause lag, etc.)

-I think that covers it
Good luck, have fun! ^^

For the animation size, I'm pretty sure setting it to the units original size wont do much

You'll want to keep track of a real variable that starts at 100, and do this:

Set scalevar = scalevar + 10
Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s size to (scalevar%, scalevar%, scalevar%) of its original size

Although, since a linear scale increase makes the unit appear to be getting exponentially bigger because it covers all three dimensions rather than a volume increase, you may want to use a square root function or something based on the unit's level to determine the scaling value.

((Level of (Triggering unit)) wont work for heroes. Use (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) instead. It's also a integer condition.

"For the animation size, I'm pretty sure setting it to the units original size wont do much"

-Well it works.

 

[Marrusian]

Neah, I do something else I set the trigger with If/Then/Else and I make a different trigger for every scale for level 1, one trigger, for level 2 another trigger and so on and it work

But now I have some problems :

1.My hero (dreadlord) don't grow more than 5 levels. (he don't take exp) but if i attack building i get exp lol :|
2. He don't grow more than 10 level (in object editor I set his level at level 20).

How I fix this problems ?

 

[Slapshot136]

go to advanced --> gameplay constants

look for hero - max level
and something to do with creep exp, hero's only get exp from creeps up to level 5, so change it or make the creeps an enemy player

No, it doesn't. Setting the scaling value to 100%/100%/100% means you are setting it to it's default value. It wont increase anything. Go test it if you don't beleive me.

Anyway, marrusian, don't get into the if/then/else habit when you can make something sooo much more efficiently.
Use a square root function.
EG:
Set heroscalevar= 100+squareroot(100*(hero level of (leveling hero)))

 

[Marrusian]

thx slapshot, uberfoop srry but i really don't understand nothing from heroscavelar

Complicated/Not Complicated I'm happy it works

 

[Marrusian]

Ok I make the endboss and where he start I fix the camera but one problem, how I can remove for few seconds the fog to see (when pan camera direct you) the monster ? and how I can add a victory action if I kill him ?

 

[Exide]

I'm not sure what fog you are talking about
Post your trigger and we can have a look at it.

To add a victory condition, however, is easy ^^
All you need to do is add a simple trigger:

Victory
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to 'EndBoss'
    Actions
        Game - Victory Player 1 (Red) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
        Game - Victory Player 2 (Blue) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
        Game - Victory Player 3 (Teal) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
        Game - Victory Player 4 (Purple) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
        Game - Defeat Player 12 (Brown) with the message: Defeat!

Something like that.
Make sure You include all the Players (1-4, in this example).
I'm not sure if you even need the Defeat Player 12 -trigger, but I threw it in there just for good looks ^^ (Also make sure that, if you're gonna use that trigger, to have the right Player -12, in this example-)

EG:
Set heroscalevar= 100+squareroot(100*(hero level of (leveling hero)))

Of course 100% doesn't work.
But if you're not a complete idiot one would think of it.
I just showed him the trigger. And it DOES work.
