Triggers aren't easy, and it takes ALOT of pratice to just get a bit good at it...I'm just starting to learn how to use them, gotten pretty good already, but there is a long way till I'm pro :P Triggers are Tricky... hhehe, little word play :P |

If you wanna learn triggers the best way is just to mess around with them for a long time. |

thats what ive been doing |
| 09-08-2003, 02:19 AM | #8 |
And how long have you been messing around with them? It takes more than a few days to learn triggering. |

I belive this is the best way to set up level for a TD. It makes it easy to add and Subtract levels add bounty and set other things to them. Even Keep track of level and how many units come out on that level. Code:
[color=blue]
Setup Enemy Array
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
-------- Level 0 (Warm up Level) Rather than have a 60
second delay before the monsters come, I have a Warm Up Level
that is stupidly easy. --------
Set Level = (0)
Set EnemyType[Level] = Unit Type
Set EnemyCount[Level] = Amount of Unit
Set Bounty = Amount of Bounty
Set Variable = Value
-------- Level 1 --------
Set Level = (Level + 1)
Set EnemyType[Level] = Unit Type
Set EnemyCount[Level] = Amount of Unit
Set Bounty = Amount of Bounty
Set Variable = Value
-------- Set NumberofLevels Variable - Make sure this stays
at the very bottom for obvious reasons. --------
Set NumberofLevels = Level
[/color]To make more then 2 levels just copy and paste everything between Level 0 and Level 1, and set new amounts. Level, EnemyType, EnemyCount, and Bounty are variables. Level. EnemyCount and Bounty are Integer type and EnemyType is a Unit Type variable. Code:
[color=blue]
Start
Events
Time - Elapsed game time is X.XX seconds
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Create EnemyCount[CurrentLevel] EnemyType
CurrentLevel] for Player at (Center of Region <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
[/color]This is the code to make the units start coming and the code following is to keep them coming. Code:
[color=blue]
Levels Routine
Events
Player - Player 10 (Light Blue)'s Food used becomes Less than 1.00
Conditions
CurrentLevel Less than NumberofLevels
Actions
-------- Wait 5 seconds before starting the round to give the
corpses a chance to fall to the ground. --------
Wait 5.00 seconds
-------- Add 1 to the CurrentLevel variable. The CurrentLevel
variable is used all over the place so we know what level we're
on. --------
Set CurrentLevel = (CurrentLevel + 1)
-------- The amount of gold a player gets per kill is
determined right here. Giving players more gold than they need
ruins the game. --------
-------- Triggers the start of next round --------
Trigger - Run Start <gen> (ignoring conditions)
-------- Announce to all the players what level they are on
and what the name of the monster is they are facing. --------
Game - Display to (All players controlled by a User player)
the text: (Level + ((String(CurrentLevel)) + ( of + ((String
NumberofLevels)) + ( - 10 + ((Name of (Last created unit)) + s
coming your way!))))))
[/color]If ya have anyproblems with it let me know. P.S. I saw this method used on one of the Dixels Tower Defense maps so I copied it and added my own special requirements to it. :D Sorry for such a long reply. |

The one on the archer td is what most people use nowadays, unless they have made their own. It's easy to edit, and it works perfectly! :) |
