Why will this only sometimes work

[darkreapers]

In my TD i want to make after a wave there will be a mini game forplayers to play, so far in my map i have 2 mini games, for this mini game its like a fire maze, if u touch lava or other units u will die.


however for the lava touch part, it only works sometimes?? i dunno why, sometimes when u touch lava spawn u die, sometimes it doesnt turn on at all...
BTW every other trigger works fine... just not the lava terrian one, and i dont want to leave it on cause it runs every 0.5 seconds and i have 10 player on the map so they might build alot of towers.

on the lava, try set it to every 0.10 seconds

 

[squorpion]

why not just make a trigger that says this?

• lava
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 100.00 of Greater Spirit Beast (Level 3) 0148 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)

 

[vypur85]

Or why not just insert some invisible units with high damage Permanent Immolation onto the said location?

Your problem lies in the Lave Touch trigger.
More specifically, this line:

• Player Group - Pick every player in Defenders and do (Set unit = (Units owned by (Picked player)))

What this does is picking first player in Defenders, setting "unit" to all his units. Then it will take the next player in Defenders, and set "unit" to all his units (thus overwriting the first) and so on.

Let me see what I can draw in free hand...

• lava touch
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Defenders and do multiple actions
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set unit = (Units owned by (Picked player))
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in unit and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set lava = (Position of (Picked unit))
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
              • (Terrain type at lava) Equal to Dungeon - Lava
              • Then - Actions
              • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
              • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_lava)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_unit)

The change is using "Player Group - Multiple Actions". It's a Frozen Throne feature, so if you only have RoC, you can't use it.
It's that one line that ruins your trigger, rest looks great.

on the lava, try set it to every 0.10 seconds

no cause i could walk on the larva like for 30 seconds and not die lol so it wasnt turned on at all... but sometimes it does turn on... so... i dunno.

@ umm ur idea might work although i would need to make around of those units n spread it out on the map. but i like it, if my lava thing still wont work i will use urs. ...


so right now still trying to get my lava to work...

edit: ty Balta, i will try it n give u guys the news in a while if it works/... in the mean time + rep
for everyone that tried to help

Vypur85 that what i said in another thread that was on how to do it but he didnt listen

Vypur85 that what i said in another thread that was on how to do it but he didnt listen

because iam still a learner so i want to get my hands dirty on all triggers first, now i know where i did wrong so in future i will know what to do :thup:

 

[vypur85]

> he didnt listen

If that's the case, then probably he doesn't want the method. So the possible fix should be the below. A little alteration from Balt's.

    lava touch
          Events
                Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
          Conditions
          Actions
                Player Group - Pick every player in Defenders and do multiple actions
                      Loop - Actions
                        Set unit = (Units owned by (Picked player))
                        Unit Group - Pick every unit in unit and do (Actions)
                            Loop - Actions
                                  Set lava = (Position of (Picked unit))
                                  If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                                        If - Conditions
                                            (Terrain type at lava) Equal to Dungeon - Lava
                                        Then - Actions
                                            Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
                                        Else - Actions
                                  Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_lava)
                        Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_unit)

Edit (for post above):
Indeed, I was right .

 

[Gtam]

[Baltazhar]

Testing my work?! Absurd! My work always works, testing not needed!

It should work, it's a very simple trigger

 

[darkreapers]

lol iam sorry mr bal! please dont hurt me! AHHH!

rofl, anyone i am stuck in loading screen online.. x.x says waiting for other player but stuck there for the past 2 mins.. i think somsone is afk lol. testing continues.....

n it works TYVM EVERYONE!

 

[Gtam]

I play rise of china and the loading time took 17 min never played that map after that

 

[Baltazhar]

If I'm not mistaking too much, I believe that the "Press any key to continue.." part of the loading screen automatically continues after 2-5 minutes or so.
Hang in there, you'll get your game going soon!
