variable end game problem

[wassat676]

i know this is probably a basic question but i really dont know how to do it and ill probably beat myself up after you tell be, but how do i make it so that when in integer variable(non-array) is equal to 0 the game is over?

Well, depends if your variable changes throughout teh game, then under where u have set variable xyz = i you have an if/then/else action have teh IF to be xyz=0 then do your kickign actions else do nothing.

Otherwise if it doesnt change you would have to do a periodic event with that if/then/else action. that would cause alot fo lag proabably though, depending on hwo often it checks.

i think i figured it out, just let me try something and ill get back to u

ok it didnt work, i thought it wud, it is logical. anyways. my variable is lives and it is plugged into a leaderboard as the value of player 11 dg which is the owner of he creeps after they have entered the lane (its a hero line war map) so i wnat to make it so that when the value of lives=0 the game ends for the team whos lives are 0

whats the trigger

 

[Beelzebubson]

Well, you have to change triggering to something probably like owner of killing unit, but you get the jist of it

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Lives[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Lives[(Player number of (Triggering player))] - 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Lives[(Player number of (Triggering player))] Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Game - Defeat (Triggering player) with the message: Defeat!
            Else - Actions

Yea.. His works..

i cant use the killing unit or player whatev because the killer is a region

 

[Beelzebubson]

oh well then u just do:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Kill Region <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Lives = (Lives - 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                TempInteger Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Game - Defeat (Triggering player) with the message: Defeat!
            Else - Actions

well im tired of working on my map today (5 hours) so ill just call it a day, but ill test it tomorrow and tell ya if it worked

that would cause alot fo lag proabably though, depending on hwo often it checks.

For the love of...

Periodic Trigger With No Memory Leaks =
Periodic Trigger With Memory Leaks =

You can have loads of well written periodic triggers running every .01 seconds, with no lag at all.
But, if there are memory leaks, then it builds up and creates lag.

 

[Beelzebubson]

my bad

 

[Azylaminaz]

Running every .01 seconds is pointless, if anything have it .02, twice as slow! I usually just do .05- .1 for those. And it works perfectly. If a computer is slow enough, it will lag if the trigger is long enough. Some old computer can't just handle that stuff anymore.

yes this is definatly off topic how about help with the problem at hand?
