Trigger:

Return Gold

Events

Unit - A unit enters Red Team Base <gen>

Unit - A unit enters Blue Team Base <gen>

Conditions

(Level of Gold for (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 1

Actions

Set temppoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))

Special Effect - Create a special effect at temppoint using Abilities\Spells\Other\Transmute\PileofGold.mdl

Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

Player - Add (Level of Gold for (Triggering unit)) to ComputerAlly[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Current gold

Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (+ + (String((Level of Gold for (Triggering unit))))) above (Triggering unit) with Z offset 20.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency

Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 32.00 towards 90.00 degrees

Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence

Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 5.00 seconds

Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_temppoint )

Right, now for some odd reason, when i move my little miner dood back to the base region, the SFX plays, the floating text appears, but Player 1 or 2 do not get the gold. But if i change this line:

ComputerAlly[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]

Into a fixed player (Player 1 or whatever) then they do get the gold. So the problem is my variable... Whaa?

(I was testing as Player 3 and i had debug commands displaying blue and red's gold amounts, which stayed resolutely at 0.

Earth-Fury	From your desription of the problem and in my sleepless mind, i cant help but read the topic title 10 times to get it, and think maybe your variable initialization trigger isnt being called?

Pheonix-IV	Omg... I forgot to put an event in the variable initialisation trigger... And this ladies and gentlemen, is why you should never trigger a map at 4 in the morning while using caffine to stay awake. I feel like such an idiot.

Here's another one:

Trigger:

Upgrades

Events

Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade

Conditions

((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) or ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue))

Actions

Player Group - Pick every player in Teams[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] and do (Player - Set the current research level of (Researched tech-type) to (Current research level of (Researched tech-type) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))) for (Picked player))

Doesn't work. I research an upgrade for P1 and the other players don't get it.

Here's me variable initialisation trigg, with an event this time:

Trigger:

Initialise Variables

Events

Map initialization

Conditions

Actions

Set Enemy[1] = Player 2 (Blue)

Set Enemy[2] = Player 1 (Red)

Set ComputerAlly[1] = Player 1 (Red)

Set ComputerAlly[2] = Player 2 (Blue)

Set ComputerAlly[3] = Player 1 (Red)

Set ComputerAlly[4] = Player 2 (Blue)

Set ComputerAlly[5] = Player 1 (Red)

Set ComputerAlly[6] = Player 2 (Blue)

Set ComputerAlly[7] = Player 1 (Red)

Set ComputerAlly[8] = Player 2 (Blue)

Set ComputerAlly[9] = Player 1 (Red)

Set ComputerAlly[10] = Player 2 (Blue)

Set ComputerAlly[11] = Player 1 (Red)

Set ComputerAlly[12] = Player 2 (Blue)

Set GoldLevelupAmount[1] = 25

Set GoldLevelupAmount[2] = 50

Set GoldLevelupAmount[3] = 100

Set GoldLevelupAmount[4] = 175

Set GoldLevelupAmount[5] = 250

Set GoldLevelupAmount[6] = 350

Set GoldLevelupAmount[7] = 500

Set GoldLevelupAmount[8] = 750

Set GoldLevelupAmount[9] = 1000

Set GoldLevelupAmount[10] = 2000

For each (Integer A) from 3 to 12, do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

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

If - Conditions

ComputerAlly[(Integer A)] Equal to Player 1 (Red)

Then - Actions

Player Group - Add (Player((Integer A))) to Teams[1]

Else - Actions

Player Group - Add (Player((Integer A))) to Teams[2]

I assume that for some reason the integer A loop isn't workping properly and thus isn't adding the players to the correct player group. But i'm nto sure.

You sure (Triggering Unit) works with "Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade" ? add a text message to that trigger to see.

you sure the tech advancement is beign registerd before the trigger fires? (so it actually increases the teck level for players, instead of setting it to the last level of the teck)

I can see nothing wrong with that loop. Exept, why use a loop? its the same ammount of calls to adding players to groups, it much dirtyer, and needs a variable. (or not, considering its odd and even players being added to each group)

Meh, lazyness, it's faster to code integer loops for that stuff.

I tried changing it to Researching Unit, still zip. And to check if what you said might be the case i researched a tech with 5 levels, zip.

--EDIT--

The problem of course would be that i was using Unit - A unit finishes an upgrade, not Unit - A unit finishes research. The first, of course, referring to the unit itself upgrading, and the second referring to the unit researching an upgrade.

I hate Warcraft.
