Repick Trigger Needs More Functionality (was: Need trigger help) (Complete)

can some one help me get some specific triggers in this map?
i already have a repick trigger in it, but its so big, but it still works...

oké.
what does it normal do (like what the map is now, if i play it):
i pick a hero (can only pick 1 hero)
i can type: -repick
that works fine, but the Xp & items wil be removed, so have to start over again

What do i want:
I pick a hero, i make some xp (42xp...) buy some items
if i type: -repick
then save xp(42xp...) + items
pick a hero get that 42xp + items in my hero

thats all but i can't do it because i have Not enough Intelligence for this

What you want makes the people that play your map never learn. They will be showered with second chances and you shouldn't do that. If someone picks a unit, they stick with it. If they don't like it, they can shoot for another, but they shouldn't be givin back their XP and items. They pick the wrong one because of a cool name or something, and they learned about their mistake and now know what to go for and learned it for all maps of the type in general.

Tyman, not that it's a bad suggestion, but he asked how to fix it, not if it was a good or bad idea.

Edit: I'm thoroughly confused why you used 293052308 triggers to repick...

 

[Tyman2007]

Just tryin to help hip not waste his time that's all.

But I'll take a look at the map. I've seen triggers well over 800 lines long...

UPDATE:
First look at the revive section, there is indeed a lot of triggers, so your task will be an easy, but long one. Nothing difficult¹, just need to store the items in a variable with an array and store the experience in a variable with an array.

You can create a new variable and call it PExperience and make it an array. then, set PExperience[1] = Hero - Experience of whatever or whatever option's similar to that.

As for storing items... Well that takes a long time to do.. You need to set an item type variable for every item you have and I don't know where to go on with that.. You need to have some knowledge of Save/Load systems and that's a little beyond me. I've never had the patience to fully learn how to make one.

You're better off just having a trigger drop the items, set the items in an array for items, not types, then have 1 variable for each player. Then do a loop, going from 1-6 for each item for each slot... Look up loops...

¹Note: That this is in fact extremely difficult and should not be attempted by the 10th time world editor user.

wel can some one help me on this like i say before i have Not enough Intelligence for this

 

[Tyman2007]

I'll see what I can do

UPDATE:
Add this to the end of all the repicks and change the variables accordingly

• Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set PItems1[(Integer A)] = (Item carried by Player01 in slot (Integer A))
    • Hero - Drop the item from slot (Integer A) of Player01
    • Item - Hide (Last dropped item)

Look up loops.... please...

The part of giving the items back requires showing the items and moving the items..

This is your map and it has a million triggers... I don't know which leads to what.

Save it in hashtables.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set HashtableVariable = (Last created hashtable)

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -repick as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempUnitGroup = (Units owned by (Triggering player))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hashtable - Save (Hero level of (Picked unit)) as 1 of (Key (Picked unit)) in (HashtableVariable)
        • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Item carried by (Picked unit) in slot (Integer A)) as (1 + (Integer A)) of (Key (Picked unit)) in (Last created hashtable)
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_TempUnitGroup)

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Unit - Unit is sold/bought/whatever you want here(But remember to change (triggering unit accordingly)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hero - Set (Triggering unit) Hero-level to (Load 1 of (Key (Triggering unit)) from (Last created hashtable)), Hide level-up graphics
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Create (Item-type of (Load ((Integer A) + 1) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in (HashtableVariable))) and give it to (Triggering unit)

Trigger 1 is initialization. Trigger 2 is whenever you type -repick, saves the level and 6 items of the unit and removes it. Trigger 3, is whenver you pick a new unit, choose, dialog, whatever, depending on your map. Then adjust Triggering unit to the event and done. You get back level, and the 6 items.

Man Newgen is awesome and all... but there are no hashtables.

 

[Jeroen]

there is a Hashtables

 

[skyblader]

He's talking about Newgen. And do what I did in my triggers. It should work.

 

[Jscooby]

Did you make Super Summoner?

Why are you editing someone else's map..? They are active I believe in updating of Super Summoner.

There are hashtables in NewGen, main thing is, that they can be used with JASS, but not GUI, while in normal WE, you can use em in both GUI and JASS.

 

[jomik]

Easier way, if you repick with a wisp, or even if you don't just move the items to the wisp (dummy unit) and then save the hero's xp in the custom value, when a hero is picked, before the wips gets remove, make it drop the items and give them to the new hero, and get the custom value and give it to the hero in xp

 

[Jeroen]

uhm lol i can't get this triggers in there if i don't kown that this trigger is
like this:

• Hashtable - Save (Hero level of (Picked unit)) as 1 of (Key (Picked unit)) in (HashtableVariable)

?? is it Hashtable - Save unit handle or Save group handle or Save player handle and then ... or something
plz say it like this:

Hashtable - Save unit handle
unit, variable: Player01...
as
value, 1
of
value, function: Hero - Hero level, (Triggering unit), variable: Player01...
in
(Last created hashtable), variable: HashtableVariable

this is what i don't kown how to make..

• Hashtable - Save (Hero level of (Picked unit)) as 1 of (Key (Picked unit)) in (HashtableVariable)
  • .
  • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Item carried by (Picked unit) in slot (Integer A)) as (1 + (Integer A)) of (Key (Picked unit)) in (Last created hashtable)
  • .
  • Hero - Set (Triggering unit) Hero-level to (Load 1 of (Key (Triggering unit)) from (Last created hashtable)), Hide level-up graphics
  • .
  • Hero - Create (Item-type of (Load ((Integer A) + 1) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in (HashtableVariable))) and give it to (Triggering unit)

 

[skyblader]

It depends on what you're saving. Since hero level is an integer, then its save integer.

 

[Jeroen]

Found it
Hashtable - Save = Crap does not work good
it copy the items form the hero & paste it in a other hero
but if the hero that you saved the items is removed and make a new hero then
you don't get your items back hero 1 (Save items) must be in the game if u use the Hashtable
this map what i have created works good

Commands:
-repick
-repick Blue
-repick Teal
lol
