Roleplaying Map

[cOdFiShY]

I want to make a roleplaying map where up to four players choose their hero from a hero selection pool (i need help with that) the only problem is, i cant start the game where you dont start out with a town hall and 5 workers. (also need help) and maybe some triggered events that spawn a few creeps to attack my little zoo (its my map, it can be of whatever i want ) so the hero gets exp. another thing, how do you make the heros level 5 creep limit off?

Edit: I iz noob at this compared to you guys

I would recommend joining a RPG team, or choosing a less... extensive... game.

To start a game without the townhall:
Go to trigger editor, go to Initiation folder, and delete the melee game setup trigger.

To spawn creeps:
Event:
Every X seconds
Condition:
N/A
Action:
Create X amount of Y unit, for Neutral Hostile.
Order (newly created unit) to walk/attack to unit(zoo).

To make creeps levels higher:
Go to object editor and go to level and hold shift and click on the level variable.

to remove the starting units at the start of game go to trigger editor > Initialization > Melee Initialization and remove every action in it


for creep spawning I suggest you using loops and array rect/region variables since that the safest system as far as I know

first set all your spawning rects/regions in a array in map init
example:

set spawn_point[1] = first region
set spawn_point[2] = second region
set spawn_point[3] = third region
set spawn_point[...] = other regions

then in another trigger

e: every x seconds of game time
c: 
a: For each [Integer A] from 1 to (number of regions you have)
      Loop
          set spawn_region[Integer A] = spawn_point[Integer A]
          create x footman for Player X at spawn_region[Integer A]
          set attacking_point = (some region where you want your unit to move)
          order last created unit to attack move to attacking_point
          custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_attacking_point)

   custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_spawn_region[1])
   custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_spawn_region[2])
   custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_spawn_region[3])
   custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_spawn_region[...])

since I'm a bad JASSer I haven't used the loop to remove locations in custom script xD
I think this is leakless but I might be wrong (it leaks only once at the very start of the map where you set the regions in spawn_point variable) and this hasn't been tested, but it should look something like that

EDIT: Fabioz, you fast

well thanks for answering, but by creeps i meant hero level, i cant get it to level after the hero reaches 5.

 

[Nordmann]

do you mean you want to change the level range?

 

[cOdFiShY]

i want to be able to level to 20 (my max level) on creeps alone.

 

[Dinowc]

he means that hero can't get exp from creeps after he reaches level 5
I think its done in gameplay constants under hero XP gain stuff

EDIT: max hero level cap is also done in gameplay constants

 

[cOdFiShY]

Hero Exp Range?

 

[Nordmann]

if he can't get past level 5 on creeps, something's wrong :S
there's nothing you should need to change to do that.

 

[cOdFiShY]

all custom games are like that... 5 is max on creeps. then you have to level off computers or other players

 

[Nordmann]

Sorry.
I didn't understand you meant neutral(hostile) creeps.

 

[Nordmann]

Here's how to fix it:
Go to gameplay constatnts.
Find the field saying "Hero XP Gain - Creep Reduction Table"
Here's the percentage of XP gained from creeps per level.
as you can see the 5th number is 0 meaning 0% xp gained.
Just change these numbers and you will be fine.

now how do i make the person start out as a wisp that picks a hero out of a few in the corner?

Create them for the players at a region near the Heroes.

• Wisps

    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Wisp for (Picked player) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

Wisps.

Spawn stuff

• Wisps
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

okay?

 

[cOdFiShY]

[12sea21]
