Disable Neutral Creeps Guard Behavior

03-22-2007, 09:35 AM

i have some issues giving orders to neutral units as they return to their creep camp after a certain distance/time.

im still using creep camps on other spots, so i cant simply change the gameplay constants.

i already tried
ui trigger: AI - Ignore (unit)'s guard position
jass: Custom script: call SetUnitCreepGuard(GetLastCreatedUnit(),false)

neither one worked for me. i dont use jass usually, so i might have done some mistake there. already searched forums and trying to fix this problem for a couple of days but no progress at all.

some1 plz help me =)

StockBreak	When I have to deal with giving orders to creeps I normally use an additional player (for example player brown) as creeps owner.

Skater	Look: Advanced--> Guard Distance Guard Return Distance Guard Return Time (sec) Radius to Notice Building Construction Radius to Notice Neutral Building Use If you set this to highest, it should work.

Ok... Im gonna try to code a system for using 12 players slots, and havign 2 additional players AND creeps... This question is starting to get on my nerves.

Edit: Attatched what i've got so far. Needs VJass. Check the map header for the code.

Bsycho

it works! i really appreciate ur help, maybe i can get one jasser to implement it into my map

.

although im not good in jass at all, i unterstand most of the codes and will try to rebuild in jass to fit my map.
so you helped me either way, thx a lot

edit:
maybe u want to look at my triggers. they are probably not very smooth but gui (something i can handle

) and do work so far.

Code:

init
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Neutral Hostile) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set creepguardloc[creepcounter] = (Position of (Picked unit))
                -------- location will be removed if unit dies --------
                Set creepguarddistance[creepcounter] = 600.00
                Set creepreturntime[creepcounter] = 5
                Unit - Set the custom value of (Picked unit) to creepcounter
                Set creepcounter = (creepcounter + 1)

Code:

return
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set neutralcreeps = (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Neutral Hostile)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in neutralcreeps and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set creeptemploc = (Position of (Picked unit))
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Distance between creepguardloc[(Custom value of (Picked unit))] and creeptemploc) Greater than 600.00
                    Then - Actions
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                creepreturntimer[(Custom value of (Picked unit))] Greater than creepreturntime[(Custom value of (Picked unit))]
                            Then - Actions
                                Set creepreturntimer[(Custom value of (Picked unit))] = 0
                                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To creepguardloc[(Custom value of (Picked unit))]
                            Else - Actions
                                Set creepreturntimer[(Custom value of (Picked unit))] = (creepreturntimer[(Custom value of (Picked unit))] + 1)
                    Else - Actions
                Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_creeptemploc)
        Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_neutralcreeps)

last thing to do is to care about respawned neutrals but will be accomplishable.
tell me if you see something to improve
