Transcriptions for Melee Game Triggers into GUI

Is there any possibility to express all of the Melee Game Triggers called at Map Init on Melee Games to display in GUI?

I am especially interested into the 'Create starting units for all players' and Enforce defeat/victory conditions'.

I am pretty sure, each of those Melee Game triggers have to content of several triggers.

So - any source to see if there are GUI translated versions of at least these two?

Those ARE the GUI versions. In JASS they're an gigantic stack of BJ's. Too gigantic.

Melee triggers are what we call BJ's, or functions that only run other functions.

'Create starting units for all players' is pretty much just a Pick every player in (All Players) and checks if theyre playing. If so, it then does 4 If then elses, each with a different race, like "If race of picked player == human then do create 5 peasants and 1 town hall" "else if race of picked player == undead then do create 3 acolytes, 1 ghoul, 1 haunted mine and 1 necropolic" etc.

'Enforce defeat/victory conditions' is a little more complicated. It creates a bunch of different triggers for various purpose. One for game end, one for player leaving, etc. I'm not sure what they all do. Maybe someone else could tell you.

I am fully aware of this - but:

Was there ever anyone who dared to reconstruct these triggers into GUI?

For example to exclude that '(for all players)'. So to say, let those defeat conditions be only true for player 1-4 and player 5 won't be affected by it.

I am asking because I want to modify a melee map - by exactly keeping those rules applied to only a specific number of players.

amm

i deleted my entire post cuz im sleepy and misunderstood your thread. but ill keep it simple.

idk of guys who dared to do this, but its not really much complex. when i have time, ill experiment something on my own. and those 7-8-9 lines that a melee map has, i will try reconstruct them in gui with different demands.

the only difference it will be, my triggers wont be just 7 simple lines added to each melee map, they will be 7 folders with 1-3 triggers for each trigger. but ill do it.

thats all there is. its simpler to just add those lines than make ones yourself. why bother shrink an elephant to have a small animal when you can just take a mouse.

Well, you see. I tried this as well but I get a real headache with the starting units trigger for example.

You need to locate the nearest gold mine and place 5 peasants (3 acos respective) in a circle between your TH and the mine. I worked around with offsets but when you don't know the correct values of each position it's a bit frustrating.

Anyways, thanks for your reply - I am really looking forward to it!

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
