Trees Regrow

[Weyird]

Hi I've tried looking this up because it should be well covered in tutorials, but the WoW "Regrowth" ability severely hampers my ability to google search the topic. I simply want trees to grow back after being destroyed. I use trees for pathing and scenery, but if Flame Strike or Force of Nature is used on trees they are killed, not to mention siege attacks. I like the idea of these abilites being used for shortcuts through forest areas, but I want the trees to grow back after a while. How?

The triggers seem simple. Destructible dies, wait X seconds, ressurect dying destructible showing animation.... But it doesn't work. I read somewhere its because the editor only registers the first 100 or so trees on the map.

Can somebody please help?

• tree spawn
  • Events
    • Destructible - A destructible within (Entire map) dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Destructible - Create a (Destructible-type of (Dying destructible)) at (Position of (Dying destructible)) facing (Random angle) with scale 1.00 and variation 0

If you want to rep me click the icon between the #2 and the warning icon

NoobImbaPro, that wouldn't work. It has to be done like this:

• Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Pick every destructible in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to Ashenvale Tree Wall
          • Then - Actions
            • Trigger - Add to Regrow Trees <gen> the event (Destructible - (Picked destructible) dies)
          • Else - Actions

• Regrow Trees
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Destructible - Resurrect (Dying destructible) with (Max life of (Dying destructible)) life and Show birth animation

what about this?

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Every 10.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Pick every destructible in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Current life of (Picked destructible)) Less than or equal to 0.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Resurrect (Picked destructible) with (Max life of (Picked destructible)) life and Show birth animation
          • Else - Actions

Yeah, that would work too.

But it is rubbish to loop every 10 seconds through all Trees, whereas maybe no single one died. I would choose Galdiuz method as long as Dying Unit consists as a local var [like Triggering Unit] inside the function.

 

[kaboo]

the 10 second is variable u can change it to whatever u want, and if he wants to allow shortcuts through forest it should be like 120-240sec, i put there 10 for my test map to test whether it works or not

This is a very simple trigger I've used this before, but there is one problem, if a trees regrowing and you harvest it, it immediately pops up into original size because of its "Harvested Animation". As there's no (Triggering Destructible) or Set Custom Value of Destructible I think theres no simple solution to this (JASS possible)

 

[Weyird]

Thanks

Thanks all, I tried it out and I'll stick to Galdiuz' way, works best for me

You can use this with his:

function filter takes nothing returns boolean
    return IsHeroUnitId(GetUnitTypeId(GetEnumUnit()))
endfunction

function Trig_Tree_Respawn_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local group g = CreateGroup()
    local destructable d = GetDyingDestructable()
    local boolean check = false
    call TriggerSleepAction(30.0)
    loop
        exitwhen (check == true)    
        call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, GetDestructableX(d), GetDestructableY(d), 600.0, Filter(function filter))
        if (IsUnitGroupEmptyBJ(g)) then
            call DestructableRestoreLife(d, GetDestructableMaxLife(d), true)
            set check = true
        else
            set check = false
            call TriggerSleepAction(5.0)
        endif
        call GroupClear(g)
    endloop
    call DestroyGroup(g)
    set g = null
    set d = null
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Tree_Respawn takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Tree_Respawn = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Tree_Respawn, function Trig_Tree_Respawn_Actions )
endfunction

It'd make the tree's respawn after 30 seconds, but only if there's no hero in range. If there's a hero in range, waits 5 seconds and checks again.

You just add the event to my JASS trigger, using Galdiuz's GUI trigger
