Sheep Wars - Rounds System or "Rematch system"

[KvickaN]

Hello everyone.

You might know about my current project named Sheep Wars.

I've come so far that I want a rounds system or "Rematch system".

The thing is I don't know how to make one or even where to start. I've searched the forums and I've had no luck so far.

Could anyone point me in the right direction or even give a useful link?

Would be appreciated, thanks.

i dont now about your project but you could create a fade filter then remove all units from the game like the game has just started
EDIT: i tested your map and its very funny but i would create some blood whenever the sheep attack and whats that "are you ready" dialog thingy at the beginning??

The dialog in the beginning was just for me to learn how to use dialogs, haha. It does nothing really...

Will consider the blood when attack thingy. Is there an easy way? or do I have to create a special effect whenever a unit is attacked?

Fade filter, remove all units and run starting triggers?

 

[Drunken_God]

E: a unit is attacked
C:Unit type equal to teal sheep or red sheep or blue sheep or gray sheep
A: create specialeffect using blalal
 Destroy (last created specialeffect)

that should make it

run triggers like create farm for all players playing and so on

You need to recreate all units manually and reset all variables like score. There's no magic system. Although one could be written for recreating all starting units.

Thanks, I'll let you all know how its going with the rematch system when I encounter a problem or something like that.

Got a problem...

When I have done the rematch the upgrades is still there. I tried this:

Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Player - Set (Picked player) Current gold to 0
        Player - Set the current research level of Sheep Armor to 0 for (Picked player)
        Player - Set the current research level of Sheep Damage to 0 for (Picked player)
        Player - Set the current research level of Sheep Health to 0 for (Picked player)
        Player - Set the current research level of Sheep Attack Speed  to 0 for (Picked player)

But only the gold resets I don't see the tech go down. Any solutions?

oha
i dont think there is a way to decrease upgrades
make different upgrades for each round and then add the upgrades to your farm

Oh :/...

Can anyone confirm this?

Try using a Tech array variable to store the upgrade when a player researches it, and then reset that. (Dunno if it would work).

-And for the rematch try making most of your triggers, so you could run them again and again.

How do i reset variables? Gonna go search now and if I don't find I will check back here for a possible answer

Cuz I found Tech-Type with array like below:

Set Upgrades
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Upgrades[1] = Sheep Armor
        Set Upgrades[2] = Sheep Damage
        Set Upgrades[3] = Sheep Health
        Set Upgrades[4] = Sheep Attack Speed

Just don't know how to make it reset to upgrade 0 if you guys know what I mean.

That won't work, you cannot reduce the level of a research once it has been learned. You'll have to go with

make different upgrades for each round and then add the upgrades to your farm

What he means is that you make copies of your upgrades, one for each round they could possibly play, and change the upgrades the farm can research every round.

Or you can change the way upgrades work.

Make a hero and hide it. Make upgrades that do nothing. When a player researched an upgrade, with triggers, make the hero learn an aura ability, increasing either attack, dmg, attack speed, etc. The Aura should have a global Range.
