Timer end action begins.

[Guldfisk]

Hello!

I have tried to make a trigger that when the timer ends the monster will spawn and walk to destroy the castle. I have manage to make a timer and then i want to know how to make monsters spawn and then walk to the castle.

This is what i have managed to do so far.

testing trigger nr1
Events
Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
Conditions
Actions
Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Get ready
Countdown Timer - Start (Last started timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 600.00 seconds

Any support is appreciated and try to explain like I'm three years old because I'm quite new to this
also, tell me if this is way to complicated

@Pharao: Sorry, didn't mean to be disrespectful to you trigger XD

komaqiton how do guys get the variables in the trigger the won't get there for me they'll just stay in the variables editor

 

[Komaqtion]

Do you mean how i set variables like:

• Set TempPoint = (Center of Spawn <gen>)

Then there is an action called "Set Variable"

 

[Guldfisk]

thanks BTW i made the opposite order does it matters on the first?

Now i'm going to watch the mentalist

 

[Komaqtion]

what do you mean ?

 

[Guldfisk]

• testing trigger nr1
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set timer1 = (Last started timer)
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Get ready
    • Countdown Timer - Start (Last started timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds

you had the variables down i had it up hasn't had time to make second yet shall do it tommorow thanks for al you support.

 

[Komaqtion]

You need to set the variable after you starts the timer, since it uses (Last Started Timer)
and you also need to move the Create timer window to last, and change Laststarted timer there to the variable, timer1.

 

[Guldfisk]

what are those custom scripts by the way?
what do they do

 

[Komaqtion]

They remove so called leaks
Read this!
And you might learn about them

 

[Guldfisk]

Yes, now i know what they do... sort of. Removing old things and things that are not in use i guess. Correct me if I'm wrong


Edit1: Where do you find "unit - Order unit" in actions?
Edit2: No worries i found.
Edit3: i got some errors even though the trigger almost exactly as yours.

call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
call DestroyTimer(udg_Timer)
call DestroyTimerDialog(udg_Timer_Window)

was the error lines

• testing trigger nr1
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start timer1 as a One-shot timer that will expire in 140.00 seconds
    • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for timer1 with title Get ready
    • Set Timer_window = (Last created timer window)

this i have no error on

• testing trigger nr2
  • Events
    • Time - timer1 expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set rallyPoint = (Center of Region 010 <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 2 Armor unit for Neutral Hostile at rallyPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack Castle 0003 <gen>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyTimer(udg_Timer)
    • Custom script: call DestroyTimerDialog(udg_Timer_Window)
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy Timer_window

is the second who i have error on.

i don't get this

 

[Komaqtion]

Well, those lines remove the leaks of variables, which means that you need to use the same variables as i did, or change the name, for example:
call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
change TempPoint there to you point variable you use in you trigger, and the same for the others :thup:

 

[Guldfisk]

Okay I'll try that.

Edit: It doesn't work i have changed all to their correct names but there is still an X on the trigger paper.
Do you mind take a look at my trigger and tell me whats wrong

• testing trigger nr2
  • Events
    • Time - timer1 expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set rallyPoint = (Center of Region 010 <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 2 Armor unit for Neutral Hostile at rallyPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack Castle 0003 <gen>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_rallyPoint)
    • Custom script: call DestroyTimer(udg_timer1)
    • Custom script: call DestroyTimerDialog(udg_Timer_window)
    • Countdown Timer - Destroy Timer_window

Here's a picture of it

Edit2: Now I've made a new exactly mirror of the old trigger and i hope that will work.
Edit3: Okay now the monsters spawn but they're not moving towards the castle
Edit4: I figured out why they won't attack castle... They had no attack but now thay walk half when then turn around

 

[Guldfisk]

Now i got like everything working except for one thing i want to create many units like 6 units and only one will attack the castle... What shall i do becuse i cant have random units in region

 

[Komaqtion]

Make a loop,I'll just show you the look of the loop, like this:

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack Castle 0012 <gen>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

BTW, just put the unit actions in this loop, and then the two custom scripts, call DestroyTimer and call DestroyTimerDialog, after the loop

And i also want to point out that, oyu don't need that last action in your second trigger, Countdown Timer - Destroy Timer_window, the custom script before that takes care of it
