[Regicid3]

Great tutorial, i've learned a lot from it. But i have one question thats been my problem for some time. Its about Game messages, can you send the message to only one player, without making the trigger like this "Send text message to player1". Its pretty anoiying to make the same quest trigger for all players. So cant you send the text message to owner of triggering unit etc?

If someone could somehow help me, or even understand my problem, i would be appriciated

You would have to use JASS in custom script, but yes, it can be done...

call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player,0,0,"Text")

Although it's a good tutorial, jus' looking at the trigger codes make me confused... it's complicated... i wonder where i find description for all the codes... (parts of the codes, etc.)

Well, i got both RoC and FTF in the same box from a player who had put it in auction, cheap.

I'm not very good at making maps... I dont understand that part ((Region centered at (Position of Captain 0009 <gen>)

It means there's a region ( area/rectangle/square ) in the map and it's center is located at the position of a specific unit.

I don't think I really need to explain anything for this part of the trigger so i'll just post up, what I think is good for it to look like:

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        Kobold_Killed Equal to 10
    Then - Actions
        Sound - Play GoodJob <gen>
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: Return to the Capta...
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    Else - Actions
        Do Nothing

So it's just saying if you reach 10/10 it will display a little message, and i've added a sound in for good will.

Final look:

aKill Kobolds
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Kobold Tunneler  
                (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Kobold Geomancer
    Actions
        Set Kobold_Killed = (Kobold_Killed + 1)
        Game - Display to (All players) for 3.00 seconds the text: (((String(Kobold_Killed)) + /10) +  Kobolds Killed.)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Kobold_Killed Equal to 10
            Then - Actions
                Sound - Play GoodJob <gen>
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: Return to the Captain for your Reward.
            Else - Actions
                Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Great tutorial, but in the top quote (see above) there is a MAJOR problem but is easy to fix. The problem wasn't in the first code, but it was in the second code. Here is what you put in the first code which is correct:

Else - Actions:
Do Nothing

Nothing wrong, but in the second code, you put this:

Else - Actions
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Uh-oh, I tested it with the second code (a different quest though ofcourse) and for the text, it only showed up once. Turning off the trigger in the else actions will automatically have it turned off and unable to work. To fix this, just have it like this instead:

Then - Actions
Sound - Play GoodJob <gen>
Game - Display to (All players) the text: Return to the Capta...
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
Else - Actions
Do Nothing

That time, you put it in the Then - Actions which is correct. Other than that little but MAJOR problem, this is an absolutely fantastic tutorial.
Without a doubt, 5/5
Great job Husky!

Btw Storms_head is the quest,Storms_head2 is the integer and storms_head_item is the item (ofc)

Hey can anyone tell me how to do the If - Kobold_Killed Equal to 10 in trigger two? I thought it was in Trigger Comparison, where i put one value as Assassin_Killed, but I couldn't find out how to put the 10 in the second value.

Edit: This also happened with Condition in trigger 3.

 

[Husky]

I'm kinda getting back into mapping, so hey, I may be able to answer some question now .
