I would like to make a map with capture points (like the points you have to capture in Team Fortress 2), but am not sure I understand triggers well enough to manage this simple task. What I need is a trigger that will count down to 0 and then once it reaches 0 it will grant control of the point to Player X who captured it, but it needs to stop if there are Player Y units in the region, and should all of the Player X units die or leave the region, it needs to start counting back up and then down to 0 once again, granting control to Player Y once it hits 0. I also need it to count down faster depending on the number of Player X or Player Y units in the region (i.e. 2 Player Y units in Region 1, then Region 1 counts down twice as fast). If anyone could point me in the right direction to at least get this started I would greatly appreciate it. Oh, I forgot to mention, each region is represented by a tower unit that will change color depending on who captured it. Not sure if that is necessary info, but I thought I should include it. Thank you. |

First of all, you'll need an integer value. Next, you make a trigger that increases or decreases that integer by the amount of units owned by players in the player group. Should be quite simple, if you don't understand I could make you a test map. |

If you would be willing to make me a test map, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm sorry for the hassle, but I learn better when I have something to tinker with. Thank you very much. |

i whould use something liek these: Code:
Core a unit enters region Tower1region if Tower1 is owned by player 2 and P2unitinT1region = True then Kill all units in Tower1region owned by player 1 else if Tower1 is owned by player 1 and P1unitinT1region = True then kill all units in Tower1region owned by player 2 else if entring unit is owned by player 1 then set P1UnitinT1region = True set T1RegionP1Units = T1RegionP1Units +1 Run CountbackT1 gen else if entring unit is equal to owned by player 2 set P2UnitinT1region = True then set T1RegionP2Units = T1RegionP2Units +1 Run CountforwardT1 gen ----------------------------------------------- CountbackT1 loop if P1unitinT1region is Ture set T1Cpoints = T1Cpoints - T1RegionP1Units wait 1 second else if P2unitinT1region is True Turn off these Trigger CountforwardT1 loop if P2unitinT1region is True set T1Cpoints = T1Cpoints + T1RegionP2Units wait 1 second else if P1unitinT1region is True Turn off these Trigger ------------------------------------------------ T1Owner Every 1 seconds of game time if T1Cpoints is equal to 0 or less Change Tower1 owner to Player 1 else if T1Cpoints is equal to 100 or more Change Tower1 owner to Player 2 i hope you understand it ^^ PD: with T1 i mean Tower 1, with P1/2 i mean Player 1/ 2 GGL&HF! |

I'll do it when I get back from school. Another quick fix I just thought about: Make the tower a unit that can be destroyed, and when it gets destroyed, make a new one for the owner of triggering unit. |
