Basic (VERY basic..) trigger request!

05-23-2004, 05:35 AM

All I need, is one trigger that does the following.. it should be easy to do, and unfortunately, I have no idea how to. @_@ I'm not that great with triggers, you see.

Here it is..:

Whenever a hero is killed, the owner of the killing unit receives additional lumber equal to the level of the hero killed, and a message will pop up to all players declaring such.

Can anyone help me? I'm doing my best to get better with triggers, but it's a pain..

orcmasta	I'm pretty sure this is it... Code: Events Unit - a unit dies Conditions ((dying unit) is a hero)Equal to true Actions Player - Set (owner of (killing unit)) Current lumber to ((Hero level of dying unit)) + 0

Code:

Add Lumber
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
        ((Dying unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Equal to True
    Actions
        Player - Add (Hero level of (Dying unit)) to (Owner of (Killing unit)) Current lumber
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + (was given + ((String((Hero level of (Dying unit)))) + (lumber for + ((Name of (Owner of (Dying unit))) + 's head!)))))

This will also display the messege. A quick summary of what the messege says is a player was given lumber for another players head.

Vandell	Hmm.. there was a little problem with that trigger you gave me, JJ912. I get lumber and all that correctly . . . but the text message shows up exactly as it is: with the brackets and everything. How do I fix that?

because you typed it in as a string didnt you?
everytime you see a + and something is in brackets its a conecate (mispelled i'm saure) strings not just the text field

Yeah I tested it and it worked fine. You mustve done what Jimmy said and just plain typed the exact words I posted. Its actually a bunch of concatenate strings for each couple words.

You convert the integer of the dying units level to a string to display the amount of lumber. For the player names look down the list of string actions for Player - Player Name. was given lumber for 's head are the only things that are actually words you type in.
