Win condition fails

[Solu9]

My trigger

• Blue Wins
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (BlueKills + LightblueKills) Greater than or equal to 5
  • Actions
    • Game - Victory Player 2 (Blue) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
    • Game - Victory Player 10 (Light Blue) (Show dialogs, Show scores)
    • Game - Defeat Player 7 (Green) with the message: Defeat!
    • Game - Defeat Player 11 (Dark Green) with the message: Defeat!
    • Game - Defeat Player 6 (Orange) with the message: Defeat!
    • Game - Defeat Player 5 (Yellow) with the message: Defeat!

I have tested this myself. Im player 2, computer is player 10,7,11,6 and 5.
I kill 5 enemies and the leaderboard score gets to 5 but Im not getting the victory screen.

Variable 1 - works

• Blue kills
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 2 (Blue) in (Last created leaderboard) to (BlueKills + 1)
    • Set BlueKills = (BlueKills + 1)

Variable 2 - works

• Lightblue kills
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Killing unit)) Equal to Player 10 (Light Blue)
  • Actions
    • Leaderboard - Change the value for Player 10 (Light Blue) in (Last created leaderboard) to (LightblueKills + 1)
    • Set LightblueKills = (LightblueKills + 1)

EDIT:

• Add player
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set BlueKills = 0
    • Set LightblueKills = 0
    • Set GreenKills = 0
    • Set DarkgreenKills = 0
    • Set OrangeKills = 0
    • Set YellowKills = 0

Uh, you have no event on that first trigger. Slight flaw I think.

I thought of this myself, but I honestly didn't think it was necessary. I guess a "unit dies" is enough?

Edit: It is enough. Thanks for the answer.

Without an event a trigger can't fire, unless in another trigger you have 'action-run trigger' referencing that trigger. I'd use 'Game-a real variable (variable name of a player's score) becomes equal to 5. Then you could ditch the condition. But 'a unit dies' would mean you wouldn't have the victory screen until the NEXT unit died.

EDIT: also, that map initialisation trigger is pointless, integer and real variables are equal to 0 by default, but you can change initial values in the variable editor thingymajig.

You could also add a periodic timer event into the first trigger and it should work.

A waste of CPU though, albeit a tiny one. And poor triggering to be honest :/

As I said, It works now. I have removed the "map initialisation trigger" from the map. And thanks again.

On a side note. I was not asking if this was a great way to do the trigger only why it didn't work. So please spare me your honesty.

I was talking to Sil3nt... and besides, if I were trying to make your triggers more efficient, surely that would generally be classed as 'helpful'. You're welcome.

Then I apologies.

No problem, glad it works
