Upgrade Creeps Trigger?

[Joshman_09]

Hi im making kind of a AoS map and i need a trigger that a unit purchases an item, then the creeps that spawn up damage increases...

any ideas?

Maybe you can try a trigger like when a unit buys and item, research an upgrade used by those creeps. Something like:

• Creep Upgrade
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to Upgrade Creeps
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order UPGRADER to research Creep Upgrade

UPGRADER unit can be any unit with 0 sight range and locust that isn't seen by the owner.

you dont need a dummy unit to research upgrades, they can be researched solely by triggers also.

Mmk that works now how about a trigger that removes and item from a shop and one that adds one to a shop?

thanks again guys

for this your shop needs to have the ability "sell items" this is an ability all regular market places in wc3 have. without this ability what you want to do is not possible.

if a unit got this ability you can use these actions for it:

• neutral building - add ITEM_TYPE to market place with stock STOCK and max stock of MAX_STOCK

capital letter words can be set by you.

Swords 1
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Upgrade Swords) Equal to True
    Actions
        Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Upgrade Swords)
        Unit - Order Blacksmith 0090 <gen> to research Iron Forged Swords
        Game - Display to (All allies of Player 6 (Orange)) the text: The soldiers have b...
        Neutral Building - Remove Upgrade Swords from Smithy 0091 <gen>
        Neutral Building - Add Upgrade Swords 2 to Smithy 0091 <gen> with 1 in stock and a max stock of 1

mmk for some reason this wont work..
it does remove the item however it does not order the blacksmith to research said upgrade..any ideas on how to fix this?

-yes the blacksmith has the upgrade
-no there a no requirements on the upgrade

why do you order the unit to do so? just set the level for the research directly, works like a charm.

 

[Joshman_09]

How exactly would i do that?

 

[Accname]

there got to be an action similar to this: (havent gotten WE at the moment to check but the action is there)

• Player - Set level of UPGRADE to VALUE for PLAYER

 

[Joshman_09]

Mmmk now for some reason when i go to test the game i get about 5 minutes into it and it just closes warcraft 3, no fatal error or anything just completly closes..

can someone look at it and tell me whats doing it? it would be much appreciated

Man why you can't make the pretiest thing?????? When you buy an item, make the item have for passive skill a GLOBAL aura that increases dmg? So when you sell item the damage effect dissapears, a thing you can't do with researches

A global +damage aura will put a buff on all the units, and that would be a buff that cannot stack with similar abilities. And, he doesn't want an item like that, its more like a powerup that is removed directly on purchase
