Killa_Demon1833	Ok, I need a little help with a lives/death sequence of triggers. I do have a working one, but it interfere's with the joining thing and it's REALLY long. You have 5 lives, if you run out, you lose, and are givin the defeat condition. I do have a leaderboard set up, now I need help with some simpler compact life/death triggers, can anyone help?

Anitarf	Have an integer array store lives for every player. Whenever a unit dies, decrease that player's integer by 1, if it reaches 0 defeat the player. Simple.

Killa_Demon1833	though what would I use to decrease it? what about initial value??

oNdizZ	initial value is yours to decide. and with the decending of the integer. set lives[playernumber?] = lives[playernumber?] - 1

Killa_Demon1833	Code: Event A Unit Owned By Player 1 (Red) dies. Conditions (None) Actions Set Lives[1] to to Lives[1] -1 Code: Variable: Interger Array: 12 Intial Value: 5 Would this be right if i had a 12 player map and each player has 5 lives?

Killa_Demon1833	Sorry for double post, but if what I posted before is right, what would defeat condtions be? I have it set to Code: Event Unit Owned By Player 1 (Red) Dies Conditions (None) Actions If (Lives[1] Equal to 0) then do (Gmae-Defeat Player 1 (Red) with the message: You Failed, you......) else do (Do Nothing) is that right?

shadow1500

that wud require u to make 12 triggers, just use generic unit death

Code:

Death
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set Lives[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Lives[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] - 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Lives[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Equal to 0
            Then - Actions
                Game - Defeat (Owner of (Triggering unit)) with the message: Bye
            Else - Actions

Dum-da-da-dum. Your map leaks.

Killa_Demon1833	no it dosen't

oNdizZ	think me meant that if you use shadow1500's "bye" msg then it leaks, since its a force leak there.

07-21-2005, 02:03 PM	#13
Killa_Demon1833	Yes i know. But that's why lots of code i get from here i edit, before implanting. And I can't fix a gui leak.

07-21-2005, 02:05 PM	#14
oNdizZ	why cant you fix a gui leak? :> how do you mean? that you dont know how to do? or do you think its impossible? :)

Killa_Demon1833	I never took the time to learn, my maps never leaked.
