Researchable upgrades on computer ally player?

04-06-2004, 09:18 PM

Is there an easier way to have access to a research upgrade building on a computer control ally? I wrote 4 triggers to do it. Trigger one just changes the ownership of that building when you enter a region that is underneath it. Trigger 2 changes owndership back to the computer(Player 1) when they leave.

I was just wondering if there is an easier way without 4 triggers or with less than 4 triggers because this method is 4 triggers just for 1 upgrade and I have 3 of those research buildings on my map. I just want control of that building for the ally player control heroes to upgrade armor,spells,damage etc...

Here are the triggers that I wrote.

Trigger 1

Code:

Research 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters HuntersHall W <gen>
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue))
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 3 (Teal))
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple))
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 5 (Yellow))
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 6 (Orange))
    Actions
        Unit - Change ownership of Hunter's Hall 0187 <gen> to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) and Retain color

Trigger 2

Code:

    Events
        Unit - A unit leaves HuntersHall W <gen>
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue))
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 3 (Teal))
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple))
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 5 (Yellow))
                (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 6 (Orange))

BattleBotv8.2	Maybe make a building sell units with the upgrade info. If a unit trains a unit, and it equals to XDummyUnit, then remove unit from the game, order XUpgradeCenter to start work on XUpgrade.

Thank you for the help BattleBotv8.2 I got it to do what you suggested however i'm having some difficulties with an upgrade higher than level 1. I'm trying to get the building to stop selling units if the current research level is at 3.
