timed income

[MrCrowley]

i need help making some triggers

1) In the game im (still) making, players get income through cities. I need a timer that every 40 seconds will count how many cities/towns a player has and give income accordingly. 1 city =100 gold, 1 town =75 gold.

(p.s, ill post my triggers in a bit, maps are on a different comp)

2)Ok...ive been trying to make a score board based on how many cities you own...and my trigger skills fail so any help would be appreciated .

+rep for answers :]

well for the income you could simply make a trigger with a Periodic event(every 40 seconds) and then set a local variable for each player, like TempCitiesPlayerX to the number of cities he has

for this use count units in unit group
unit group would be units in playable map matching conditions:

-And(all conditions are true):
-owner of matching unit equals to PlayerX
-unit type of matching unit equals City

and then add (100 * TempCitiesPlayerX) gold to PlayerX

repeat the same thing with the towns and for all players playing the game(you should make a player group including all players that are playing the game on map initialization)

EDIT: NVM this post is better |

• Example Setup
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start TimerVar as a Repeating timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for TimerVar with title Income in
    • Countdown Timer - Show TimerWindowVar

• Example
  • Events
    • Time - TimerVar expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set tempGroup = (Units owned by (Player((Integer A))))
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempGroup and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to (==) City
              • Then - Actions
                • Player - Add 100 to (Player((Integer A))) Current gold
              • Else - Actions
            • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to (==) Town
              • Then - Actions
                • Player - Add 75 to (Player((Integer A))) Current gold
              • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_tempGroup)

I would help with a scoreboard as well, but I am a failure when it comes to leader/multiboards.

the question is. are timers more efficient then periodic events?

 

[wraithseeker]

Event
Every X amount of time you want to give gold

Conditions

Actions
set unit_group = Units in playable map area matching Unit type of matching unit equal to your unit type
Player - Add ((Integer((Real((Number of units in Unit_group))))) x how much amount you want to give per one unit type) to Player 1 (Red) Current gold

thats it however you have to do it 12 times, my trigger leaks though, clean it up yourself.

Another question

If i were to make a trigger saying

Player - Add (Number of units in (Units of type City)) to Player 1 (red) Current Gold

That would add 1 gold for every city owned by that player right?

How do i set the value of a City to say...oh..100
without replicating this trigger 100 times.
