Food Production Variation

08-14-2008, 08:16 AM	#1
Archi	We meet again, community! I have a small question to ask. Is it possible to control how much food a farm (for instance) produces using triggers only? Any answer would be much appreciated :) That is if it relates to my question :P Thanks in advance!

Pyrogasm	No. Well, yes, but it would involve the farms not actually granting any food and instead having dummy units which provide 1 food each that you can give to the players in the proper quantities to make it seem as though the food given by a farm is dynamic in some way, shape, or form.

You are able to control the food resource by triggers:

JASS:

native SetPlayerState takes player whichPlayer, playerstate whichPlayerState, integer value returns nothing
constant native GetPlayerState takes player whichPlayer, playerstate whichPlayerState returns integer

PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_FOOD_CAP
PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_FOOD_USED

Captain Griffen	Alexander is right. Yet you cannot alter how much food it shows as produced on the UI, unless you have multiple units.

Pyrogasm	Really? I didn't know that XD Edit: Referring to Alexander, not Griffen

rulerofiron99	If there is a small variation and you absolutely need the farm to show how much food is produced, make a copy of the unit for each different value, and use triggers to replace. Looks better than triggering food amounts, but adds up in terms of map size and load time.

At this time, I'm using the replace unit trigger.

JASS, huh? Any chance it might be possible with regular GUI?

Tide-Arc Ephemera	It is. As far as I know, under the same Gold/Wood giving and taking command, food is also listed.

Which Gold/Wood giving and taking command are you refering to?

The:

Trigger:

Player - Set Player 1 (Red) Current gold to 750

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Yeah. That one and the other one that adds instead of sets.

Fledermaus	Yes, pull the "Current gold" menu down and you should find 3 things referring to food: Food used, Food cap and Food max.
