World Survival

[Bhodar]

Hi, I did a few posts here and you all helped me out and that makes me a happy person.

I'm creating a survival where the are 3 diffrent regions: Ice, Forest and Desert. With each there own sort of nomads. And each race has 5 classes. I can make the items, the sleeping and all of that, but what I can't figure out is the cooking system they use in the troll tribe maps. I think I tried almost anything I could come up with and all things didn't work out.

So can any of you pro wc3-editors (or others ) help me out plz.

Can you elaborate what you mean by "cooking system"?

 

[Bhodar]

You can pick up the corpses you get from killing animals (know how to increase corpse making) and when you drop em near the campfire and click on the ability cook (or whatever name you have) the corpses change into food as items that restore your health.

You pick up a corpse, it disappears and changes into an item in your inventory, right?

(You should use an ability, which can target dead units. Base a new ability off channel)

Create Item
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Corpse Pick Up
    Actions
        Unit - Remove (Target unit of ability being cast) from the game
        Hero - Create Corpse and give it to (Triggering unit)

Then, if you have the corpse in your inventory and want to cook it on the fireplace, it changes into food?

(I can only guess the fireplace is an unit, to make sure the ability is actually targeted on the fireplace, not on any other unit)

Cook Food
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Cook Corpse
        ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Corpse) Equal to True
        (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Fireplace
    Actions
        Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Corpse)
        Hero - Create Food and give it to (Triggering unit)

He means where you drop a corpse and then you click a button to turn the corpse thats on the floor into an item

 

[Bhodar]

That could work to. ty

But I had this in mind (hope this makes more sense)
You use the cargo hold ability for corpses (the one meat wagon uses) to pick up the corpses, then you drop the corpses near the fireplace (unit) and use the ability to change the corpses into items.

For converting the corpses into food (items), try using this:

E: Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
C: (Ability being cast) Equal to Animate Dead
A: Set Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
Set UnitGroup = (Units within 400.00 of Point matching (((Matching unit) is Dead) Equal to True))
Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Set Point2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
        Item - Create Food at Point2
        Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
        Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point2)
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
Custom script: call RemoveGroup(udg_UnitGroup)

Well try to give the unit the ability Cargo Hold(Meat Wagon) and see if it works. About placing it by fire and making it turn to meat see if this works:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set UnitGroupVar = (Units of type Fire)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroupVar and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Trigger - Add to Untitled Trigger 002 <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of (Picked unit))

Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
    // Remember our event from last trigger?
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Corpse
    Actions
        Set PointVar = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
        Item - Create Food at PointVar
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_PointVar)

Firstly, it checks, if the cooking hero is near enough to the fire. If it is, it will convert the corpses into food.

Cook Food Near Fire
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Cook Corpse
    Actions
        Set TmpPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Number of units in (Units within 300.00 of TmpPoint matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Fire))) Greater than 0
            Then - Actions
                Set TmpGroup = (Units within 300.00 of TmpPoint matching ((Life of (Matching unit)) Less than or equal to 0.00))
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_TmpPoint )
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in TmpGroup and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Set TmpPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
                        Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
                        Item - Create Food at TmpPoint
                        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation( udg_TmpPoint )
            Else - Actions
                Set TmpForce = (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit))))
                Quest - Display to TmpForce the Warning message: You need to be clos...
                Custom script:   call DestroyForce( udg_TmpForce )

Untested, tough...

thank you very much Geelottaja, that was the trigger I was looking for, now I just gotta remember it when I need it again .

If I can't figure out something else I'll post it here.
