Unit Count and Conversion Trigger help needed

I've tried reading through forums and guides to be able to do this myself, but I just can't figure this out.

I need a trigger that will count the number of a unit type (footman, for example) in region X owned by triggering unit player

Then the trigger needs to replace 50 footman in Region X with 1 knight in Region Y ...

And then the harder part ... any leftover units above a multiple of 50 need to turn into 1 knight with life = number of footman leftover


So if I brought 1 footman to Region Z (the trigger event), the trigger would count all footman in Region X. If there were 126 footman in Region X, those 126 footman would be removed and replaced by 3 knights at Region Y, 1 knight having 26 hit points.

Come to think of it, I may also need help with a trigger that converts a 26 hit point knight into 26 footman... But I may be able to figure that out on my own if somebody can please help me with the above trigger. I've tried looking at variables and hashtables but it's beyond my understanding.

      • YOUR EVENTS
    • Conditions
      • YOUR CONDITIONS
    • Actions
      • Set temp_group = (Units in YOUR REGION X matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) == (Owner of (Triggering unit))) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) == Footman)))
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • 'IF'-Conditions
          • (Number of units in temp_group) >= 50
        • 'THEN'-Actions
          • For each (Integer A) from 1 to ((Number of units in temp_group) / 50), do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Set temp_point = (Center of YOUR REGION Y)
              • Unit - Create 1 Knight for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at temp_point facing 90.00 degrees
              • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_temp_point )
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

              • Set temp_point = (Center of YOUR REGION Y)
              • Unit - Create 1 Knight for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at temp_point facing 90.00 degrees
              • Unit - Set life of (Last created unit) to (Real(((Number of units in temp_group) mod 50)))
              • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_temp_point )
            • 'ELSE'-Actions
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in temp_group and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
        • 'ELSE'-Actions
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_temp_group )


If I understood you correctly this should be what you need.
If there are more than 50 footmen inside of a certain region owned by the same player they get replaced by a knight - if there are any additional footmen a second knight will be spawned and his hp are set to the amount of additional footmen.

EDIT:
after reading your question again it looks like i did misunderstand. well i fixed the trigger so it will place multiple knights and only adjust the health if there are remaining footmen above a multiple of 50

i think this would be better cuz it takes into account if you have multiple things of 50.
Trigger:
  • convert
    • Events
      • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -Convert as An exact match
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Region 000 <gen>) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
              • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Footman
            • Then - Actions
              • Set footmencount = (footmencount + 1)
              • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to footmengroup
              • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • If - Conditions
                  • footmencount Equal to 50
                • Then - Actions
                  • Unit - Create 1 Knight for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
                  • Set footmencount = 0
                  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in footmengroup and do (Actions)
                    • Loop - Actions
                      • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
                      • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from footmengroup
                • Else - Actions
            • Else - Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Region 000 <gen>) and do (Actions)

              • Set footmencount = (footmencount + 1)
              • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to footmengroup

Thank you both very much! I am going with Kayoss666's version because I do plan on multiple groups of 50 being replaced. Thanks for taking the time to answer though.

I just had 1 other noob question though, I hope this isn't blatantly obvious. But those "set" lines (set footmencount = footmencount + 1), are those "set variable" actions? I don't know how to make those scripts and can't seem to find them in the trigger editor

well the choice is yours but mine replaces groups of 50 aswell and is more efficient. so i would strongly suggest to use mine. but since you need the trigger you have to decide which one suits your needs best. be aware that kayoss666 trigger also has some leaks in it.

and yes its the set variable action. custom script is also a action almost at the top of the action context menu. if you never used custom scripts chances are that you are also not aware of leaks. you might want to google that for more information.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. I'm putting your version into the editor now, and I'm having one trouble:

What should the variable type be for "temp_group" ? I'm not finding the correct trigger that allows for what you posted

The type of temp_group it Unit Group. Just choose set variable, select temp_group and set it to "units in region matching condition"
I never used a custom script in a condition since thats not possible.

All my conditions are regular integer comparisons.
The first one is 'count units in unit group' and the second one is 'Maths - Modulo' + 'count units in unit group'

BTW if you get confused by the '==' '>' and '>=' in the editor they should read as 'equal to' 'greater than' and 'greater than or equal to'

    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

    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

    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 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.
