Triggers - Quests

[Husky]

I think it's an Integer (not sure though). Try that instead of a Quest Variable.

Hmm i tried but nope..

Help

Trigger two didn't work. It displayed 1/10 for the first kobold killed, but the other nine, nothing happened. After killing the 10 kobolds, the message didn't come up. I decided not to waste time on Trigger Three. Trigger two looks fine by the example, but it isn't. I would like to point out that I changed it in three minor ways. I hope that this isn't the cause of the problem.

1. Instead of Kobold Geomancers and Task Masters, I'm using Kobolds and Kobold Geomancers.
2. Instead of using a Captain, I'm using a custom unit, a Chief Sorceress.
3. Instead of using a Paladin, I'm using my custom hero, the tester (A Maiden of Pain).

I'm uploading the file, can someone please see what is going wrong and tell me?

Chief Sorceress is found in New Dalaran City, near the Arcane Sanctum.

If you die, you should be able to revive yourself at the farm near your starting point. It hopefully won't cost any money to revive.

Hi, I don't understand this condition: "((Region centered at (Position of Captain 0009 <gen>) with size (400.00, 400.00)) contains Paladin 0018 <gen>) Equal to True"

Where can I find it in the condition list?

[Edit]
Look under Booleans, Region contains unit.

And then?

 

[Amfidamant]

Looking might help.

"Boolean Comparision"
->
"Unit - Unit in Region"

 

[skytainted]

((Region centered at (Position of Captain 0009 <gen>) with size (400.00, 400.00)) contains Paladin 0018 <gen>) Equal to True

Where do you see this? I can't find it in the conditions part. Is it in Boolean?

 

[Cidzero]

Looking might help.

"Boolean Comparision"
->
"Unit - Unit in Region"

You really should read...Amf already anwered that question. And its right above yours...

Need Help

I read your tutorial and tried to make a similar quest where "hero" frees units instead of killing them. The thing is that I can only free one unit, and after that, nothing happens.

Please, look if I've made a misstake or somthing, thanks

Events
Unit - A unit comes within 150.00 of Frank 0102 <gen>

Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Slave

Actions
Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Center of FrankQuestStart <gen>)
Set SlaveFreed = (SlaveFreed + 1)
Game - Display to (All players) for 3.00 seconds the text: (((String(SlaveFreed)) + /10) + Slaves Freed)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
SlaveFreed Equal to 10

Game - Display to (All players) the text: Return with Frank t...

I think I can help, but I'm not sure this is what you're looking for.

Unit> Generic Unit Event > A Unit Dies. (this allows you to make the trigger without having the unit on the map.)

You will need a condition to make this work.

Unit-Type Comparison > Unit type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Kobold. (Or equal to whatever unit you want.)

You can also add in a regional condition if you plan on having more than one of a unit. So if your map has 10 kobolds all over the map, you can specify a region if you need to.

Not sure if I helped, hope I did.:thup:

Im doing something like this

:banghead::banghead::banghead:Im doing something like this just a little different... I want the quest to only activate for one person... im making an ORPG and i already got the save and load triggers working so it would really suck to stop it at this point
:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Here are my variables:

HeroPlayerGroup - Player Group - Array (Size 100) - Initial Value: Empty Player Group (Default)
Quest_SheepKilled_1 - Integer - Array (Size 100) - Initial Value: 0 (Default)

The HeroPlayerGroup is already intialized here

  • Actions
    • Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to HeroPlayerGroup[(Player number of (Triggering player))]

You're confusing what "Triggering player" is for.
If the event wasn't fired by a player then don't use it, it would be equal to NO PLAYER because NO PLAYER is firing the trigger.

Init trigger

• Event - Elapsed game time is 0.10

(no player is firing this event, Triggering player is equal to NO PLAYER)

Trigger 1

• Event - A acquires an Item

(a unit is firing the event, not a player, Triggering player is equal to NO PLAYER)

Trigger 2

• Event - A unit dies

(a unit is firing the event, not a player, Triggering player is equal to NO PLAYER)

Solution

Init trigger
use the player's number in the index

• Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to HeroPlayerGroup[1]

Trigger 1
use owner of unit

• Quest - Display to HeroPlayerGroup[(Player number of (Owner of unit(Triggerint Unit)))] the Quest Update message: So you want to run ...

Trigger 2
same as above, use owner of unit

Also, instead of [noparse] writing your code in

tags, use the

tags to make it look better[/noparse]

but when i kill a sheep after getting the quest it doesnt say anything like it is supposed to... However when i get the quest it pops up in my quest bar...

 

[FizzeyDizzey]

anyone?

 

[GFreak45]

are you sure the unit type is correct?

 

[FizzeyDizzey]

are you sure the unit type is correct?

in the conditions? yes its set to the custom unit i put down called sheep

 

[GFreak45]

in the trigger, create a new thread for it in the wc3 editor if it is correct, thats the propper area for this question, not on the actual tutorial :/
