WoW Death System...Could This Be Possible?

09-06-2004, 02:00 PM	#1
Arkidas	Greetings members, I was thinking of making revive system like in World Of Warcraft In my map. Its like when you die, then a ghost(shade?) should be created for you and then you have to move it to your corpse to revive. Could this be possible?

Yes very possible.

Create a region for each player's hero.

Create a Trigger like this

Reds Region
Event
Every 1 second of the game
Condtion
none
Event
Move region (Red01 <gen>) to Postion of (Reds hero)

ok, now that will continualy move the region to whever reds hero is.
Now, when he dies, the region will be where he died. But, to prevent the body from disapating you need to create another trigger.

Stop Reds Decay
Event
A unit dies
Condition
(Dying Unit) equal to (red hero)
Action
Wait .50 seconds
Pause (red hero)
Create 1 (ghost) for (player 1 red) at (ghost spawn)

Now, im pretty sure that should stop him from disapating, then you need a trigger to allow him to be revived.

Revive Red
Event
Unit Enters (red 01 <gen>)
Conditon
Unit type of (entering unit) equal to (ghost)
Owner of (entering unit) equal to (player 1 red)
Action
Remove (entering unit) from the game
Revive (red hero) instantly at (red01 <gen>)
Pan Camera for (player 1 red) to (red 01 <gen>) Over 1 second

This should do it, post here agin if you still have trouble.

Soultaker	I'll try to make it work, if you let me use the triggers. I'll just edit this for the triggers

09-06-2004, 05:26 PM	#5
-={tWiStÃ„r}=-	you used region 002 in your revive trig you should use reds hero or blues hero. you need multiple triggers, one for each hero

Or just use a unit Array and player Array

I'll try make a system

09-06-2004, 06:13 PM	#7
Anitarf	Why would you need a player array? The players are already nicely arranged with their player numbers.

09-06-2004, 07:37 PM	#8
Arkidas	How can I make it so the region follows unit that havent been created? I need to do like unit owned by player(hero unit) because players need to choose heros in my map so they dont have a hero in start.

You need to make a Unit Array and set player's chosen unit (in the trigger where he chooses units) to 1 in that array

But still, just give me some time to try it out...

Ok Met, for the reviveal, use entering unit instead of triggering unit,.

And since you already defined the owner of the player, you don't need to have owner of dying unit, just use player 1, 2 etc. that goes for the entire trigger, or any trigger that you have specifically defined the owner of the unit.

For the select hero thing, use entering unit again.

And you do not need multiple triggers for each hero, the If/Then/Else works fine, in this case.

@ arkidas, do the trigger that i said before to make the region follow the hero.

this one

Reds Region
Event
Every 1 second of the game
Condtion
none
Event
Move region (Red01 <gen>) to Postion of (Reds hero)

And i dunno what soul is talking about with an aray.

if anyone has further questions please ask.

09-06-2004, 08:19 PM	#11
Arkidas	Uhm yes you could tell me how I make reds hero, what should that be man? :\

i set reds_hero as a unit variable. then did this:

set reds_hero=last created unit

also, niro, above, thats not my selection code, i accidently copied the wrong code. heres the right one:

Code:

select
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters hero select <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
        Unit - Create 1 Blademaster for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
            Then - Actions
                Set reds_hero = (Last created unit)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
            Then - Actions
                Set blues_hero = (Last created unit)
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

09-06-2004, 09:36 PM	#13
[niro]	I already said, use entering unit, not triggering unit. And, make a unit variable called reds_hero with a trigger make the unit the variable set (hero01) to (reds_hero) like that.

for the select system this is what I did, before all the If/Then/Elses:

Code:

Set Hero = (Last created unit)

note that the var "Hero" is a Unit variable

then in the If/Then/Elses:

Code:

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    Then - Actions
        Set reds_hero = Hero
    Else - Actions
        Do nothing

I fixed all the bugs, I think, thanks niro. The system is pretty much finished, i just need some testers to see if this only works in single player.

09-07-2004, 02:44 AM	#15
[niro]	To try to test it for multi, just play as different players, and see if the triggs work.
