running triggers within triggers

06-07-2006, 04:53 AM

ok I'm attempting to make it so that when A player has a house built for their hero, then the exp penalty will be changed based on the hero's level. (only one hero per player)

I all ready have triggers that change the penalty when a hero is loaded or when he levels, so I'm attempting to run those triggers when a structure is built, but the conditions dont seem to be working properly. This is one of the structure building triggers and the exp penalty trigger for heroes under 10.
(i simplified it a little so it's easier to read.)

Trigger:

P1 base

Events

Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Finishes construction

Conditions

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to House

(Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Town Hall

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to House

Then - Actions

Unit Group - Add (Constructed structure) to Townhall_02

Set Nation[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Unit-type of (Triggering unit))

Else - Actions

Unit Group - Add (Constructed structure) to Townhall_02

Set Nation[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Unit-type of (Triggering unit))

Trigger - Run Level 1 <gen> (checking conditions)

Level 1

Events

Unit - A unit Gains a level

Unit - A unit enters Start <gen>

Conditions

(Hero level of Unit_Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]) Less than 10

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Nation[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Equal to Town Hall

Then - Actions

Hero - Make (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Heroes gain 60.00% experience from future kills

Else - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Nation[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Equal to House

Then - Actions

Hero - Make (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Heroes gain 75.00% experience from future kills

Else - Actions

Do nothing

If I ignore conditions when running the trigger then all the other triggers for higher levels will run as well. anyone know how to get this working?

blu_da_noob	How exactly is it 'not working properly'?

Mystic Prophet	Well, I'm guessing that it's not meeting the condition. the second trigger will change the exp rate when the hero levels. but when the player builds a structure, nothing happens. if the P1 base trigger runs another trigger. Would the triggering unit for the second trigger's (triggering unit) count as the structure, or would there simply not be any real triggering event for it?

Rising_Dusk	Trigger: Trigger - Run Level 1 <gen> (checking conditions) Trigger: Conditions (Hero level of Unit_Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]) Less than 10 Ok, when you run the trigger from a trigger, the "Triggering Unit" does not return ANYTHING, therefore the 'Level 1' trigger will never work. Try this. Trigger: Trigger - Run Level 1 <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Mystic Prophet	only problem with ignoring conditions is that in that trigger I'm also running 9 other triggers for every increment of 10 from level 1 to 100. I guess I'll just have to use some if then conditions before running the triggers. anyway thanks for the info that's what I was wondering.
