Take a look at my arena system (complex)

Happy · Dec 16, 2011

Hey guys...

i need your help

i made an arena system for my map which should do the following :

-when the arena timer expires pause all units and make them invurnable
-choose one of 3 types of arena fighting
-move the heroes to the arena
-let them fight
-checking whether heroes/units die
-if all teams are finished or in arena type 3 one team of heroes died it should show a message and port every hero back and unpause all units and and make them invurnable again

here the triggers making problems:

Trigger:

arena creeps check
- Events
  - Time - ArenaTimer expires
- Conditions
  - Arena_Boolean Equal to True
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - 'IF'-Conditions
      - Arena_IntegerType Equal to 1
    - 'THEN'-Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        'IF'-Conditions
        
        (Arena_Heroes[1] is dead) Equal to True
        
        'THEN'-Actions
        
        Set hero_died[1] = Arena_Heroes[1]

  - Set timer_window = (Last created timer window)
  - Trigger - Turn off arena creeps check <gen>
  - Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

so the problems are:

-the triggers do not see whether the fights are over
-all the stuff that should happen after that does not happen (porting back, giving gold etc)

hope someone can help me

thanks in advance

ok listen... I think you messed up a little bit your triggers... I didn't read through the whole thing, but just to start with, i found this error:

        Loop - Actions
        
        Player - Add (500 x Creep_Number) to (Picked player) Gold

This is what happens...

When Arena_Timer expires, if Arena_Boolean is true, then:
*If ArenaIntegerType equals 1 then:(you didnt set ArenaIntegerType previously in this trigger...)
1) Check if Arena_Heroes[1] is dead:
.....if it is, then:
..........A)Set hero_died[1] = Arena_Heroes[1]
..........B)Set heaven_done = True <--- Check this out
..........C)Display to All players the text: Heaven's Hero died....
..........D)Remove all units in "edge"
.....if it is NOT, then: <----- This is what ELSE means
..........A)Check if heaven_done Equal to True <---- This is giving the problem
...............if it is, then:
....................*Do nothing
...............if it is NOT , then: <----- heaven_done will never be Equal to True (your fault).....
....................*Set arena_heaven = edge L <gen>
....................CHECK If (Number of units in (Units in arena_heaven owned by Neutral Hostile)) Greater than/Equal to 1.
.........................if it is, then
..............................Custom script: call RemoveRect (udg_arena_heaven)
.........................if it is NOT , then:
..............................Set heaven_done = True
..............................Game - Display to (All players) the text: Heaven finished all...
..............................Custom script: call RemoveRect (udg_arena_heaven)
..............................Display to (All players) the text: (Each Player of Team Heaven got |cffFFC125 + ((String((500 x Creep_Number))) + |r Gold.))
..............................Add (500 x Creep_Number) to All allies of Spieler 1 (Rot) Gold

I highly recommend that you write your trigger on paper with your own words, and try to think like the computer does. This trigger is very confusing, so try to put your ideas in order and then rewrite your trigger.

To make it clearer, i recommend that you use sub-triggers... This is, instead of writing what i did, use this:

Trigger:

arena creeps check
- Events
  - Time - ArenaTimer expires
- Conditions
  - Arena_Boolean Equal to True
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - IF - Conditions
      - if Arena_IntegerType Equal to 1
    - THEN - Actions
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        IF - Conditions
        
        if (Arena_Heroes[1] is dead) Equal to True
        
        THEN - Actions
        
        Trigger - Run ArenaDead <gen> (Checking conditions)
        
        ELSE - Actions
        
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        IF - Conditions
        
        if heaven_done Equal to True
        
        THEN - Actions
        
        ELSE - Actions
        
        Run Subtrigger1

Trigger:

ArenaDead
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set hero_died[1] = Arena_Heroes[1]
  - Set heaven_done = True
  - Game - Display to (All players) the text: Heaven's Hero died....
  - Set TempGroup = (Units in edge L <gen>)
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
  - Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

Trigger:

Subtrigger1
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set arena_heaven = edge L <gen>
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  - IF - Conditions
    - if (Number of units in (Units in arena_heaven owned by Neutral Hostile)) Greater than/Equal to 1
  - THEN -Actions
    - Custom script: call RemoveRect (udg_arena_heaven)
  - ELSE -Actions
    - Set heaven_done = True
    - Game - Display to (All players) the text: Heaven finished all...
    - Custom script: call RemoveRect (udg_arena_heaven)
    - Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Each Player of Team Heaven got |cffFFC125 + ((String((500 x Creep_Number))) + |r Gold.))
    - Player Group - Pick every player in (All allies of Spieler 1 (Rot)) and do (Actions)
      - Loop - Actions
      - Player - Add (500 x Creep_Number) to (Picked player) Gold

you can use sub-triggers when first creating it, but when you are actually wrapping the map up pull the actions out to replace the Trigger - run Some Trigger <gen> because extra trigger calls means extra lag, but it is good to organize when you are still early in the map making process
