Mortar team attacking at one region, and not AUTO attacking my players.

05-14-2006, 11:28 AM

I'm currently abandoning my TD for awhile. Working on a new maze now (think its much easier). The death regions where a unit walks onto it and gets killed immediately, i've done that. Now i need help with this mortar team thing.

(M)
(L)(AP)
(Space, death region)
(L)

M -> Mortar team
L -> Lane, where my players will walk and eventually complete the maze.
AP -> Where the mortar team will attack ground there. They should keep on attacking the ground and SHOULD NOT attack my players when they walk pass them (or when my players are near them)

Trigger:

MortarDG

Events

Time - Every 2.50 seconds of game time

Conditions

(Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Mortar Team

(Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 11 (Dark Green)

Actions

Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack Ground (Center of MortarDG1 <gen>)

Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Hold Position

Somehow it cant work. MortarDG1 is my region (Mortar Dark Green 1) where they will attack that region.
Someone please help =D

Jacek	If you give them Worker classification, they won't auto-acquire targets.

What? you havent picked any units, so you cant refer to the function Picked Unit

EDIT: this is something like what you want:

TaintedReality	If you care, that leaks a location and a group (and every 2.5 seconds, so it could get bad).

That is correct, if you give them the worker class in the object editor they will leave a "worker doing nothing" icon in the lower left corner of the screen. This can be fixed by adding the class by triggers.

Opxono	Anyway, how do i finish the game by having it such that when 1 unit enters this specific region, a floating text will appear, saying: (Player which reached the region first) has won the maze! Then this "Your defeated" thing will come up, and you will have to press "Quit Campaign" to finish the game.

Quite simple, here it is:

Trigger:

End Game

Events

Unit - A unit enters Your Region <gen>

Conditions

Actions

Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (Player + ((Name of (Owner of (Entering unit))) + reached the region first)) at (Center of Your Region <gen>) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Set TempPlayerGroup = (All players)

Player Group - Remove (Owner of (Entering unit)) from TempPlayerGroup

Player Group - Pick every player in TempPlayerGroup and do (Game - Defeat (Picked player) with the message: Defeat!)

Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Hold Position

Change the attack ground, to attack-move.

oNdizZ	actually, you dont need that periodic timer. Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack Ground (Center of MortarDG1 <gen>) will make the mortars attack the ground all the time. you should just change the Cooldown to.. in this case 2.5 Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Hold Position will make them stand still and shoot at enemies who are currently in range (and seen, of course).
