Turn based combat system, damn

[SnowCrow]

I'm creating a turn based combat system, like one in Final Fantasy and all other japanese RPGs.
I'll post my triggers here.

Starting
    Events
        Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Knight 0002 <gen>

        Unit - Move Paladin 0004 <gen> instantly to (Center of ForestHeroLoc <gen>)
        Set CreepUnit = (Random unit from (Units in ForestCreepLoc <gen>))
        Set HeroUnit = (Random unit from (Units in ForestHeroLoc <gen>))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in ForestCreepLoc <gen>) and do (Unit - Make (Picked unit) face (Center of ForestHeroLoc <gen>) over 0.00 seconds)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in ForestHeroLoc <gen>) and do (Unit - Make (Picked unit) face (Center of ForestCreepLoc <gen>) over 0.00 seconds)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in ForestBattle <gen>) and do (Unit - Pause (Picked unit))

Its working fine except that when the Knight (starting) approaches the Hero, it just stops in front of him and doesn't attack or even return back. Some help would be nice.
And I started doing this trigger this morning, so it might be little sucky at places. But it will improve.

did you set all your vars right?

 

[chazis_tripp]

Check your frist tigger agian. Near the movement i think thats wrong.

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in ForestBattle <gen>) and do (Unit - Pause (Picked unit))

If you're interested in turn-based systems, you should see the "Hero RPG" campaign in WC3 campaigns. It uses a turn-based system too, and could serve as an inspiration source.

Why would that be wrong? I said the problem is that when the Knight (creep) approaches the Paladin (hero), it just stops in front of him and does nothing.

I'm quite sure all the variables are right. If anyone can come up with a solution, that would be lovely.

And thanks for the information, dadads, I'll check that map, but that system I saw in the screenshot is totally beyond my skills. :] I may still find something from the map.

 

[SnowCrow]

Ok, I think the problem is in the event [Unit becomes attacked].
Could there be another way to do it?

 

[dadads]

Don't use [Event - Unit is attacked].
Use [Event - Unit is damaged] instead.

Or if you want to move the hero using triggers instead of issuing the move command, you can actually time it.

 

[Sirroelivan]

where exactly can I find this 'Hero Rpg'?

Yes, thanks dadads, now the Knight actually attacks. I had to change the generic unit event to specific unit, because "takes damage" isn't in generic unit event.

I didn't quite understand what you meant with moving the hero with triggers, could you define it a bit more?
