Killing Trees?

02-14-2007, 04:31 AM

here is my trig, that doesn't work. I want to reward the player for felling a tree. Thing is... it looks like the person who fells a tree is not considered the Killing Unit? hmmmmmmmm

Trigger:

LumberHarvest

Events

Destructible - A destructible within (Playable map area) dies

Conditions

(Destructible-type of (Dying destructible)) Equal to Summer Tree Wall

Actions

Player - Add 1000 to (Owner of (Killing unit)) Current lumber

Game - Display to (All players) the text: Lumberjacks recieve...

Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of (Owner of (Killing unit))) + killed a tree)

Av3n	Killing unit has nothing to do with destrutables, Make it an pain and use units if you want it to work. Or modify the lumber abilty and detructable to 1000 hp and max lumber to 1000. Then use dying destructable to say an tree has been felled -Av3n

Destructible - A destructible within (Playable map area) dies

That event is your problem.
If you read what it says:

So if you have hundreds of trees (which i think you will if your making a tree-killing map), then the chances of you killing a tree that is registered for this is very slim.
What i suggest is using the Eat Tree ability instead of attack, that way, you can use a trigger like this:

Trigger:

LumberHarvest

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Eat Tree

Actions

Player - Add 1000 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold

Game - Display to (All players) the text: Lumberjacks recieve...

Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((Name of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) + killed a tree.)

Nah.

Just have a trigger at map initialization that picks all the trees in playable map area and adds a destructable dies event for picked destructable.

Last time I checked, killing unit did work with the destructable death event.
