"King of the Hill" Type Trigger Question

06-29-2005, 12:00 AM

Hey, I'm working on a project that has a King of the Hill part, and I need a trigger to do the following, but I'm not sure which conditions to use.

EVENT
- Periodic event every 10 secs.
CONDITIONS
- A unit owned by player 1 is in (region)
- A unit owned by player 2 is not in (region)
- A unit owned by player 3 is not in (region)
ACTION
- Player 1 captures (region) stuff

So I need it to check for player 1 controlled units, player 2 controlled units, and player 3 controlled units, and if it only finds player 1 controlled units then it does the ACTION.

I hope my question is clear and someone can answer it.

FLUFFwc3	Another, seperate, quetion: I once knew but forgot how to do random events. I searched the site but couldn't find my old posts. I need something like this: If randominteger = 1 then do this..... If randominteger = 2 then do this..... There's a way to do this using a randominteger variable? Help would be appreciated.

Set <variable> = random number between X and X

Tim.	If Then Else. If Player1 Then Player1 actions Else Do Nothing If Player2 Then Player2 actions Else Do Nothing I think you get the idea.

FLUFFwc3	Ok, I think I got random down fairly well, so this is one bump for the "Capture area" question.

Tim.

Heres a basic idea of one way you could do it. Depends on how many units and players you might be dealing with.

Code:

King of the Hill  BASIC
    Events
        Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Hill-Top)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Number of units in (Units in (Hill-Top))) Less than or equal to 1
                                PlayerUnitArray[(Integer A)] Equal to (Picked unit)
                            Then - Actions
                                Game - Display to (Player group((Player((Integer A))))) the text: You are the King of...
                            Else - Actions
                                Do nothing

Note:
12=Number of players in the Game
Hill-Top=Region
PlayerUnitArray[n]=A variable directed at the player's single unit

FLUFFwc3	Okay, I put that in a trigger, but how do I setup the variable? Is is a unit or player, etc. Also, the only players that can capture the areas are 1,3,5. Thanks for your help.

PlayerUnitArray is a unit array is I understood correctly.
"Also, the only players that can capture the areas are 1,3,5"
Was that a question?

Tim.	Correct. Just do Code: Set PlayerUnitArray[1] = <Player1's Unit Goes Here> Set PlayerUnitArray[3] = <Player3's Unit Goes Here> Set PlayerUnitArray[5] = <Player5's Unit Goes Here> If you have the units placed in the map to begin with. If not, just choose the apropreate setting to set the variable to the correct unit.
