ok, what i need is simple, we need it so a map with nothing but units from 2 opposing forces, on two teams, will end in defeat for the player who loses all their units, there aren't any buildings. please help fast, this is for a school project due in 2 days! :( |

First off, get rid of the map Initialization Folder, because that is what triggers the lose when there is no buildings. Next, make variables.. click on new variable, make it an intiger (not array) and the value is of how many units there is for that player. ^^do this for how ever many players there are.^^ Next you make a trigger. Event: a unit dies condition: unit owned by player(whatever player owned them) action: set variable = variable - 1 ^^do this for how ever many players there are.^^ now, make a new trigger... event: Time (periodic event (every 1-5 secs)) condition: none action: If variable1 = 0 then Defeat for player else do nothing Now, continue to make new actions on the same trigger, the same action, but for the variable for the next player. Im sorry, if your not that skilled, this may not make much sense to you.. but this is one way to do it.. there are others.. but this is what would be easiest to me.. good luck :D By the way.. This is for school?? man.. what class is this for, i am kinda uhhh interested.. a class that you need this for? :P lolz :D |

VolEs I think you went about it a harder way... There is even easier way... :D Try: Code:
Event Player 1 food used becomes 0 Player 2 food used becomes 0 Player 3 food used becomes 0 Player 4 food used becomes 0 Player 5 food used becomes 0 Player 6 food used becomes 0 Player 7 food used becomes 0 Player 8 food used becomes 0 Conditions Actions Defeat player (triggering player) 1 trigger, NON-periodic (so less lag), no variables... Besides, to do it your way would be even easier WITH an array variable: but your way has a flaw, if the player summons a Water Elemental (or any other summoned unit) and it dies it would take away a "Unit" when in reality none of the original units have died. |

LOL, the funny thing is I normally never come up with the easy way to do things... normally I am the one with the hard way to do something and someone is correcting me. :ggani: |

Sorry about that TallgeeseIIII, had I noticed that VolEs broke one of the unwritten forum rules and resurrected a dead thread I would not have posted. I just noticed your thread was created over 2 weeks ago. VolEs, be careful. DON'T resurrect dead threads, do it too often and you can get in trouble with the moderators. It may not be listed in the "Forum Rules" but the mods still don't like it normally. Although some cases are different. |

No problem, I've accidently done that before too, so as a rule, I never post on a thread that is past page 3 on the list and I always check the date of any threads on page 3 before posting. |

you people actually look beyond page 1? bah too much work for me |
| 01-19-2004, 06:29 AM | #11 |
LOL, rarely do I look beyond page one, normally if I do go past page one, its only because I haven't been on in a day and there are 2 pages of new posts.... But when I do I never go past page 3 |
| 01-19-2004, 12:15 PM | #12 |
The only posts I look beyond page 1 on are... Screenshots posts, and my own posts. In this sense, I do find it rather odd I get any responses at all sometimes. Regards Dead-Inside |
