mm, you could do unit - pause.. that would be a start.. maybe like in every 6 seconds intervals, you pause units owned by a player if a condition for being in a battle is set.. |

I would make a boolian variable, call it player1turn or something. Anyways, make it start as true. Make a trigger, -every 1 seconds -player1turn=true -pick all units matching type(units owned by player 2) pause unit(picked unit) -pick all units matching type(units owned by player 1) unpause unit(picked unit) Anyways, it should go something like that. Make two triggers like that, one for player 1, and one for player 2. Unfourenetly it only works for two players, and you have to add more triggers for when you want to change turns. |

before you rush into a turn based map maybe you should understand advanced triggering. |

Boolean variables are variables which only have the possibility of being true or false. You might know them as switches in Starcraft...since they basically act as switches. |

when u start the map pause all units. setup a system by which wc3 determines whose turn it is. once it's that units turn, unpause him. when he decides to finish his turn, pause him again and unpause the next unit. |

Yeah, thats what I was trying to say. But I was trying to show him how you could enter it into the world editor. The thing that stopped me, was what is the best way to trigger it to be the other guys turn? My first thought would be to have a trigger that changes the boolian variable every time a unit makes an action. But isn't just moving a unit considered an action? And what if you have multiable units? |
