Sheep Tag New and improved, Help please

[fratleyslaye]

I have a few questions, I have been playing with the map editor for awhile and I cannot find how to do a few things, or tutorials.


My knowledge: Nothing, I have winged everything and have made a successful rpg map and helped on a AoS map, GOTM.

Okay, on to the help =]

Need to find out how to distribute gold per time.

How to get a timer and a leaderboard working, my leaderboard doesn't look right BUT it could be because the map has only been testing in beta.

Sell tower doesn't appear on the add ability list for my farms, thinking it's because windwalk is a hero ability and I cannot make my farms heroes.

Cannot get my shops to sell right, I have to make it an ally building and when I do that the items drop on the ground when buying.

Cannot get Cash farm to distribute gold over time, but I think the gold over time question a bit up will solve this one.

=] That's all I see for now, thankyoufor the time :-D

> I cannot make my farms heroes.

You can, if you really want to.
It's simpler though to find your ability, and set "stats - hero ability" to false.

> Cannot get my shops to sell right...

Do they have all needed abilities?
Sell item, Select Hero... have a look at, for example, a Goblin Merchant.

> Cannot get Cash farm to distribute gold over time, but I think the gold over time question a bit up will solve this one.

Hm... you mean getting Gold automatically for every Farm you have?

Event:
- Time: every 10 seconds
Conditions:
Actions:
Set UnitGroup = All units of type Farm
Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do
- Player - Add 10 to Owner of (Picked unit)'s current Gold

Set UnitGroup = All units of type Farm

- Player - Add 10 to Owner of (Picked unit)'s current Gold

Call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)

When I goto Set UnitGroup it asks me to make a Variable, and not sure what to do from there, everything else is A-Ok =]

 

[AceHart]

Create a variable, call it "UnitGroup", and use "unit group" as type.

 

[fratleyslaye]

It comes out like this:
Set UnitGroup[Variable]=Units of type Cash farm

What do I put in the variable position?

 

[Fratleyslaye]

Another question :-\ But in trigger editor, I was reading how to create a leaderboard and at the end of it it asks to add +1] but I am not sure how to get that to come out correctly, if u need the specs, ill write it down and we can go from there.

P.S Thanks for all the help already =]

> Set UnitGroup[Variable]

UnitGroup is just a simple variable of type "unit group".
It's not an array. Uncheck the "array"...



Set variable,
choose a variable,
for the part after the "=", start with "Arithmetic".
Which already says "value + 1", change "value" to your variable, the +1 is already there.


Ever thought about registering?

 

[fratleyslaye]

Everything is exact to your example and my farm blows up as soon as I try to build it. =[

 

[AceHart]

A trigger that adds gold can't possibly blow up a farm...

Care to post it?
(You can copy & paste it here, by right-clicking your trigger's name, and using "copy as text").


Do you have any triggers that run on the event "a unit begins construction"?
If not, what did you do to that poor farm?

 

[fratleyslaye]

The problem with the leader board is the triggering, I am using a TD trigger example so that could be the problem, but my trigger tally reads:
Set player_killz[(Player number of(Owner Of(Killing Unit)))] = player_killz[player number of(Owner Of(Killing Unit)))]

It should read:
Set player_killz[(Player number of(Owner Of(Killing Unit)))] = player_killz[player number of(Owner Of(Killing Unit)))] + 1)

I have gotten the +1 on there but it didnt have the last parantheses around it and ended up not bringing up any of the players on the board at all.

Cash over time
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set UnitGroup = (Units of type Cash Farm)
        Player - Add 10 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold

 

[fratleyslaye]

mmm, I figured it out =O Dumb reason too lol, I had the tooltip set as saying "Don't let the wolfs come near this, because even there breath will knock this down" and I put it with 1 hp, and for some reason i would build it, and it would explode lol

Problem solved. Now it wont give me gold over time, I even set it to 1 second to see if that would fix the problem and nope =(

 

[AceHart]

> Time - Elapsed game time is 10.00 seconds

This event only happens once, 10 seconds into the game...

Change that to "time - periodic event".

 

[fratleyslaye]

It is still not ticking like it should, I lowered the time from 10 to 3 to 5 to 1, moving it around for balance ideas and it still doesn't work.

 

[AceHart]

Actually, you forgot some important part:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Player - Add 10 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold

 

[fratleyslaye]

That is a bit important, Really appreciate everything you have helped me with tonight, and this morning

 

[fratleyslaye]

Err I get in the (Actions) you need to put Loop-Actions but neither Loop or Actions are in there

 

[fratleyslaye]

:banghead: wow triple post, when do i get to edit my posts? =\ I found it, nevermind

 

[AceHart]

> I found it, nevermind

The actions or the edit button?


"Unit group - pick every unit in unit group and do multiple actions".
The "Loop - actions" part is automatic.


Upon registering, you got a "confirmation email".
Have a look, there's a link inside you need to click.

> tonight, and this morning

We're in the middle of the day actually...
