Reviving Heros

[SD_Ryoko]

So whats the deal so far with reviving heros, did we figure that out?

Reviving a hero, a certain ammount of time after death.

Last I checked, we had problems with 'triggering unit' no longer apply, keeping track of individual timers, etc.

Satara, did you do some work for Mr. Assaisin on this? Hows that work?

We also need to nail that tavern problem perfectly, so we can FAQ or Tutorial it.

gimme a bit and I'll paste my code from the other map I'm making (or was making till I struck gold with desyncs).

 

[SD_Ryoko]

BUMP!

 

[sATARa]

Well, I just fixed his timer windows for him... if thats what you mean.
I used local variables to destroy the right windows, instead of destroy last created timer window.

 

[SD_Ryoko]

My point was:

If you use 'revive triggering unit' then after 1:30 triggering unit is no longer valid.

If you have 10 players, you need 10 timers. How do you know which timer expired? Unless you have 10 expiration triggers.

 

[Darg]

sorry, just to clarify:

do you want to instantly revive the hero somewhere after x seconds?

or

do you want to revive the hero at the hero altar (or equivalent building)?

 

[Darg]

assuming its option (1), my system will only work if you have 1 hero per player.

Actions
    Set dead_hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Dying unit)
    Set dead_hero_timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] = (Last started timer)
    Countdown Timer - Start dead_hero_timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will 
    expire in ((30.00 x (Real((Hero level of dead_hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))])))) x 0.50) seconds
    Wait ((30.00 x (Real((Hero level of dead_hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Dying unit)))])))) x 0.50) seconds
    -------- - --------
    For each (Integer A) from 1 to numPlayers, do (If ((Remaining time for dead_hero_timer[(Integer A)]) 
    Less than or equal to 1.00) then do (Hero - Instantly revive dead_hero[(Integer A)] at 
    ((Owner of dead_hero[(Integer A)]) start location), Show revival graphics) else do (Do nothing))

This is the one I did for the DARK person... I think this one works, but its set to always revive the heroes in 30 sec. (easy to change though)

OK, maybe I am thinking into it way to much.

Dargs example, you are going to revive every hero on the board, when it parses the timers and they are all 0. So, does anything happen if you call a revive for a living hero?

Sataras example, what if someone dies after someone else? Are Triggering unit and Triggering player still good, or do they get overwritten? Any variable you use in a trigger that fires often is going to get wacked each time...

Hummm... I smell burning toast

 

[sATARa]

No its ok... triggering unit is a local variable, so it wont overwrite it self

So, does anything happen if you call a revive for a living hero?

Nope. If anything did, I would have seen it in the hundreds of times I ran the map.
