Convert Spell Here

01-03-2004, 06:29 AM

This trigger will show you how to create the custom spell Convert. It will allow the hero to convert a unit on a % chance basis on every successive hit. (2 trigger skill)

Variables NEEDED:
HeroConvertPlayer (Integer Array Size 12)
HeroUnit (Unit Array Size 12)
ConvertChanceNumberPart1 (Integer Array Size 12)
ConvertChanceNumberPart2 (Integer Array Size 12)

This trigger is required to update the level of the skill by variable.

Code:

ConversionUpdate
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 2 (Blue) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 3 (Teal) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 4 (Purple) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 4 (Purple) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 5 (Yellow) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 6 (Orange) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 7 (Green) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 8 (Pink) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 9 (Gray) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 10 (Light Blue) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 11 (Dark Green) Learns a skill
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Learns a skill
    Conditions
        (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Conversion 
    Actions
        Set HeroConvertPlayer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (HeroConvertPlayer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)

Here's the big killer.

Code:

Explanation and Customization
Ok, this big huge trigger first of all checks for many things. The amount of levels this particular convert spell has 30. So I made every 5 levels of the skill to increase in %. Of course you can change this to whatever you want at this sections

Code:

HeroConvertPlayer[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))] Greater than or equal to X
                                                HeroConvertPlayer[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))] Less than or equal to X

Now the harder part and the limits of this skill.

Code:

Set ConvertChanceNumberPart1[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))] = (Random integer number between 1 and 17)

Code:

Set ConvertChanceNumberPart2[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))] = (Random integer number between 1 and 17)

OK, there are 2 of these for a reason. It basically creates 2 numbers, and those 2 numbers have to match up in order to convert the unit. 1 out 17 is a 6% chance to convert. Here is a list of numbers changed to percentage.

1 to 1 = 100%
1 to 2 = 50%
1 to 3 = 33%
1 to 4 = 25%
1 to 5 = 20%
1 to 6 = 17%
1 to 7 = 14%
1 to 8 = 13%
1 to 9 = 11%
1 to 10 = 10%
1 to 11 = 9%
1 to 12 = 8%
1 to 13 = 8%
1 to 14 = 7%
1 to 15 = 7%
1 to 16 = 6%
1 to 17 = 6%
1 to 18 = 6%
1 to 19 = 5%
1 to 20 = 5%
1 to 25 = 4%
1 to 33 = 3%
1 to 50 = 2%
1 to 100 = 1%
