Trigger after killing 3 units?

[BadWires]

Hey guys,

Could anyone explain to me how I could make a trigger that happens when the user kills 3 lava crab critters?

 

[Severon]

create a global variable of type integer(for this example I'll use crabby) and then have a trigger that fires everytime a unit is kill of type lava crab and set variable crabby=crabby+1
then set action to if crabby=3 do actions(desired actions)

You are going to need an array to store the kills.

Event
 A unit dies
Condition
 Unit-type of Dying Unit is Lava Crab
Actions
 Modify Property: numberKills[Owner of (Killing Unit)] = +1
 If (numberKills[Owner of (Killing Unit) == 3)
  Your actions go here.

• Disabled Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - Any Unit dies
  • Local Variables
    • KillingPlayer = 0 <Integer>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) == Marine
  • Actions
    • Variable - Set KillingPlayer = (Killing player)
    • Variable - Set Counter[KillingPlayer] = (Counter[0] + 1)
    • General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
      • If
        • Counter[KillingPlayer] == 3
      • Then
        • ------- Do your actions here
        • ------- If this trigger is only needed for one player, you can remove the array usage of the global Counter variable, and add a condition to check if the Killing Player is equal to Player X
        • ------- And return Counter to a value of 0, if necessary
      • Else

Something like that? Just make yourself a global integer variable called Counter (or whatever you want) and do the above

EDIT: Fix'd

Ah thanks guys. I didn't know you could make global variables and that was throwing me off!

:thup:

Incase you ever want it to run every 3 kills instead of just the first 3 kills you can change the if statement from the posts above from

Kills[player] == 3

to

(Kills[player] mod 3) == 0

You can always set the kill counter back to 0, but that's not exactly keeping track of total kills now is it
