Trigger Request

Ok so I basicly need a trigger that will allow the user to select a tower from a merchant and then upon them selecting it the builder then needs to be able to build it in his build menu. Think of it like hero arena but with buildings instead of abilities. I could never figure out how they did this so im asking for a bit of help on this one, thanks.

I dont think you can give units new buildings to build through triggers, only in the unit editor. 1 thing you can do tho, is create upgrades for all of the buildings and then add that upgrade to the buildings 'techtree - requirements'. Now add all the buildings to the unit's buildables. The unit will not be able to build the structure until the player has purchased the upgrade.

If you want the structures to replace actual abilities, then base the abilities off things like 'build tiny lumber mill' or what ever it is.

Make the builder a hero.
Then make him buy items like tiny castle etc.
Then use the trigger which is like Hero - Order hero to use item (Sold item)

Or something like that

Something like this. Yes, you need to change it, a lot. Need to use "begins construction" and add another trigger if the building is canceled... or add a counter on how many buildings you can have...ehm, well, suit yourself actually.

This is meant for a td where the player can mix and match towers available to them so the upgrade system would not work because there is not enough space in the build menu for 45 towers.

The player needs to choose 7 towers from 5 races and without this system my map is in the toilet.

As for the idea with the hero, would it be possible to make the abilities to cost money? like using a trigger such as: when triggering unit casts a spell equal to fire spawn, remove 13 gold from triggering players gold?

Yes, it is possible.

Well. start reading the threads. You're basically pointlessly posting if you're repeating things other's have said, without added any extra details or something.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
