spawn hero once when a building is built

[Druzzl]

how do i get say a loki to spawn once when i build a fusion core, but only on the first fusion core i build?

Hi, you have to make it via trigger.

EVENTS
Fusion core is built
CONDITIONS
ACTIONS
Create a Loki
Disable this trigger

This trigger runs only the first time you create a core becouse the "Disable trigger" prevents it to run unless it is re-abled again. In your case you dont have any other trigger that make this able again so it will run only once.

 

[Druzzl]

ok, so how do i set the event to target the fusion core, that's the part i'm now stumped on

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - Any Unit training progress is Completed
    Local Variables
    Conditions
        (Unit type of (Triggering progress unit)) == Fusion Core
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Loki for player 1 at (Position of (Triggering progress unit)) using default facing (No Options)
        Trigger - Turn (Current trigger) Off

This would be your trigger

 

[Druzzl]

THANK YOU!!! i can finally start creating my map for my buddy and myself!!

 

[X-maul]

You're welcome, but please try to understand how this works, so you can do it yourself at another time

 

[Druzzl]

lol, actually when i went in to set it up how you said, i figured out alot, i just couldn't figure out how to target a building that hadn't been built yet

 

[X-maul]

Great to hear

 

[Druzzl]

ok, here's what i changed it to (Captain Bladehero is the Loki)

Spawn Captain Bladehero
Events
Unit - Any Unit construction progress is Completed
Local Variables
Conditions
Or
Conditions
(Owner of (Triggering progress unit)) == 1
(Owner of (Triggering progress unit)) == 2
And
Conditions
(Unit type of (Triggering progress unit)) == Fusion Core
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Captain Bladerunner for player 2 at Hero Rally using default facing (No Options)
Trigger - Turn (Current trigger) Off


when testing it returns a negative 1 when it try's to spawn the unit

 

[Druzzl]

could it be because i have them classified as a hero and i'm trying to create them as a unit?

 

[Phubar]

Cant use edior now. try changing from Cpt Bladerunner to marine and see what happens. If still give error try delete the OR an set only 2 conditions ( owner is player 1 and type is fusion core, just to try to find out wats wrong.

Once the trigger runs, it will turn itself off. This means if player 1 builds a fusion core and player 2 has already built a fusion core, the trigger has been turned off so it won't run when player 1 builds the fusion core, thus player 1 won't get the hero. I recommend you create two separate triggers, one for player 1 and another for player 2 which will solve this issue.

 

[Druzzl]

so, the way it's set up, is i have 6 of them, 2 for protoss, 2 for terran, and 2 for zerg, and since my friend and i never play the two same races, i was trying to set it up for us to get the heroes but not the computers. but now the computer gets the hero, and only the terran hero's will spawn (all 6 triggers are set up the same way, just different names for the units and different spawning buildings)

 

[Druzzl]

alright so, Augria is a specilized dark templar, and i can get this script to run, but he doesn't ever spawn... i get the message saying Hero Creating, but from my other debug trigger i don't get the message saying hero created...

Spawn Auriga

Debug trigger is as such

    Conditions
        Or
            Conditions

                (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Levi A Than
    Actions
        UI - Display "Hero Created" for (All players) to Subtitle area

here are the error's i get when it try's to create Auriga

'gt_SpawnAuriga_Func': Event response function 'EventUnitCreatedUnit' has no matching event? Near line 143 in gt_SpawnAuriga_Func[] in MapScript.galaxy

'gt_SpawnAuriga_Func': Parameter out of bounds in 'sUnitCreate' (value:-1, min 0, max 15)? Near line 4613 in libNtve_gf_CreateUnitsWithDefaultFacing[] in TriggerLibs/NativeLib.galaxy

and xp not working for any heroes, spawned or not...

 

[Phubar]

You have to change

Unit - Create 1 Auriga for player (Triggering player) at (Position of (Created unit)) using default facing (No Options)

to

Unit - Create 1 Auriga for player (Triggering player) at (Position of (Triggering progress unit)) using default facing (No Options)

The "Created unit" refers only to units created by trigger with "Create unit" action

 

[Druzzl]

It gives the same error both ways Phubar

 

[Phubar]

Found another issue
Change "triggering player" with "Owner of (triggering progress unit)"

 

[Druzzl]

I'll have to try that when I get home and see if that changes anything

 

[Phubar]

It would change becouse "triggering player" doesnt mean anything in that trigger (the event involves a unit that is built not a player), so you have to refer to the player that "owns" that unit
