I need a sytem to make so each time you make a tower the cost of all towers of that kind increase by 1. I made this trigger, and ive been troubling with it for 2 hours now. Sometimes the tower doesnt start building, even if i have like 20 gold and only 1 burrow placed (shud cost 11 then)... plz read this and check for any faults i made:

Tower Cost Increase

Code:

Panto	That doesn't look too complicated, but can you use the CODE tags so that it formats it like it does in the Trigger Editor? That'll help us figure out which If/Then/Else's apply to what.

GaDDeN	Ok hope that helps. Well im not noob, i think this is quite simple too... but i just cant figure why it doesnt build when i HAVE more gold then 10 + number of burrows. Regions: P1 Area = All area that ONLY player 1 can enter. Dont worry about 2 having burrows here P2 Area = Same but player 2

Dead-Inside	Kejos, next time, talk to me on MSN. Not only am I swedish, as you, but you'd also get your problems solved faster. You'd not need to waste ppls time here. And well, you'd save some space on WC3C ;). I'm expecting someone else to look over this, so I decided not to. Regards Dead-Inside

Seems like you could move "If - Conditions (Unit-type of (Constructing structure)) Equal to Burrow (td)" to the Conditions section, since it has no Else, and everything in the trigger is contained inside it. That'll clean up the trigger a bit.

Also, it looks like you subtract gold from the constructing player, no matter which one it is, so you don't need to separate that out. Just say "subtract 10+x gold from constructing player's gold".

The line

Quote:

Player - Set Player 2 (Blue) Current gold to ((Player 2 (Blue) Current gold) - (Number of units in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red) of type (Unit-type of (Constructing structure)))))

should say "Units owned by Player 2(Blue)" instead, right?

I really don't care for the green and blue. They're much too dark on the dark gray background. Is that a change on this forum? It's neat to have it recolor the information similar to the editor, but if you can't read it easily, it's worse. Silly forum-runners.

Anyway, see what happens with those changes, if you're willing.

GaDDeN	Nope, its supposed to be the type of constructing unit. Like if you have 2 burrows a burrow cost 10 (10 x amouint) Well the problem is that sometimes when you have around 5 gold more then needed, like you have built 5 burrows and try to build one (and have 20 gold), then it doesnt build. It thinks i dont have more gold than it, so i dun get it... plz help

Panto	What I was saying was that, in the line I quoted above, you refer to Player 2, then Player 2, then Player 1, and I think you wanted the last Player 1 to be Player 2 still.
