(TD) Not spawning NEXT level.

[KvickaN]

Spawns the first level perfectly but not the second... I think it has something to do with player 12 brown's food... But I can't see whats the problem :S

Does the timer show up before the second level? Might want to delete action Delete - AttackTimerWindow

 

[Romek]

if you think its something to do with the food, Make a periodic test trigger which displays Browns food every 10 seconds or so. Then after you've finished the first wave, see what the food is.

 

[Mittsies]

instead of using food, use variables. Food can be very limiting and possibly not work well with triggers.

Set CreepLevels[0] = Footman (or some random unit you'll never use)

        Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time

This will be your new countdown trigger

    Conditions
        Count_Living_Units = 0

        Countdown Timer - Show AttackTimerWindow
        Countdown Timer - Start AttackTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
        Wait 30.00 seconds
        Countdown Timer - Hide AttackTimerWindow
        Countdown Timer - Destroy AttackTimerWindow

Bam.

 

[KvickaN]

Hmm... It shows every 1 second that his food is 0 all the time...

Edit: Ah thanks I'll try, if I don't get it to work I'll post here again.

Edit: for some reason I can't do this: "

Set Count_Living_Units = (Number of living CreepLevels[LVL] units owned by Player 12 (Brown))

" I suck at variables...

PLEASE HELP!

PLEASE HELP!

The Variable type of "Count_Living_Units" is an Integer.

Use the "Set Variable = ___" Action. Select Count_Living_Units, and scroll down to "Unit - Count living units owned by player".

Here's a screenshot...

Hope this helps.

[Mittsies]

Let me know if my way works, or if you're still experiencing the same problem. Either way using variables versus food cap is much more simple and probably less laggy.

[Mittsies]

So does it work now? And hey, what's up with all the animal cruelty?!

 

[KvickaN]

Yeah it works now Oh and the animals is for the low levels Just so it looks easy in the beginning...

 

[duyen]

Hmm, what exactly dosent work?

 

[KvickaN]

I thought it worked but the thing that Doesn't work now is that the creeps don't spawn on blue teal and purples spawn. I'll just upload the map and you who feel like it can have a look... =)

 

[hi_im_bob]

do you have people playing in blue or teal spots?

 

[KvickaN]

do you have people playing in blue or teal spots?

Yep, I tested on bnet with full party

 

[Exide]

You can start by removing the 'Do nothing' functions from your triggers:

WavesStartRed
    Events
    Conditions
        (Number of living CreepLevels[LVL] units owned by Player 12 (Brown)) Less than or equal to 0
        (Player 1 (Red) slot status) Equal to Is playing
    Actions
        Set LVL = (LVL + 1)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to SpawnLevels[LVL], do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 CreepLevels[LVL] for Player 12 (Brown) at Points[1] facing Default building facing degrees
                Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: (Name of (Last created unit))
                Wait 0.70 seconds
[COLOR="Red"]                Do nothing[/COLOR]

Also, you set LVL to (LVL + 1), each time you run the trigger, but then you do the same thing with next trigger (WavesStartBlue, WavesStartTeal, WavesStartPurple) - which SHOULD set LVL to level 4, after ten seconds. (I don't think you want that to happen.)

No I do not

 

[worldeditors]

this would be a better trigger.
Mine is for 1 player onli. You can add in more players if you want.
