[Trigger] Group Moving Help

[Bwathke]

OK, could you show me how to make a group of units move when someone says something? I have it when they enter the region they go into unit group and a player group in case I need both and I want it where someone in that group says -enter they go into another region..... How do I do this all I need is the -enter part.

• Move Units
• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -enter as An exact match
  • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -enter as An exact match
  • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -enter as An exact match
  • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -enter as An exact match
  • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -enter as An exact match
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Group = (All units owned by (Triggering Player))
  • Set Loc = [Your Location]
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To Loc
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

Something like this? (I know you only needed the enter-part, but in case you didn't remove the leaks... )

 

[Bwathke]

Thats OK but I need the group to move not when they say -enter their in the group their in it before I just looked and all I need is a condition player is in group. Do you know if they have that? Nevermind found this all out but thank you +rep

OK it is done but now I need help with when the boss of a level dies a unit owned by a player goes to one region other player to another region etc. 6 times like loot boxes.

bump

 

[ap0calypse]

You didn't wait 48 hours before bumping >< (41 minutes to be exact...)

I guess you are working on an RPG, so there are a lot of bosses.
If that's the case, then set the loot-regions to a variable (with array).

Then, when the boss is defeated (a unit dies, with the condition that it's that type of unit), start a loop that sets the TempLoc to Region[Integer a] and moves hero[integer A] to that location.
After the loop, clear the location.

 

[Bwathke]

Could you show me a spoiler xD and I thought I had to wait 48 hours after i bumped I hadnt bumped before 0.o

 

[ap0calypse]

Nope, you need to wait 'till 48 hours after the last post

So, in the map init trigger (you probably have one -.-)

Warning! May contain spoiler

• actions
  • Set Region[1] = LootRegion 1
  • Set Region[2] = LootRegion 2
  • Set Region[3] = LootRegion 3
  • Set Region[4] = LootRegion 4
• Got bored of copy/pasting, do this for all your players -.-

When a player chooses a hero, assign a variable to that unit ("Hero[Player number)]")
Then, the boss dies-trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - a unit dies
• Conditions
  • Unit type of (Triggering Unit) equal to (Boss-guy)
• Actions
  • For each Integer B from 1 to number of players do
    • Loop - actions
      • Set Loc = Center of (Region[Integer B])
      • Unit - Move Hero[Integer B] instantly to Loc[Integer B]
      • Custom script: RemoveLocation(udg_Loc[Integer B])

I have written the triggers myself, so there might be some text-mistakes, but it looks about the same as this

Let's see... anything I still need to explain?
Hmm... maybe you can remove all buffs from the units when the boss dies?

Ohh, I've used integer B to prevent the failure of other systems, since loops are commonly used in systems (another way is to create your own variable and make that loop, so it won't mess up other triggers).

Have fun

 

[Bwathke]

I cant get the [Integer B] for any of the last three lines? How exactly do I get to them?

 

[ap0calypse]

By using an array when setting up the variables

 

[Bwathke]

What variables all of them or just Loc?

 

[ap0calypse]

Both of them.
Whenever you see a number (or something that resembles a number, such as "Integer B") behand a variable, it means that variable has an array.
The number must be between square brackets "[ ]", if not, it's part of the variable name ^^
Arrays can be used to make spells MPI and MUI, to set up functions like this one, basically every multiplayer map has at least 1 variable with an array.

 

[Bwathke]

OK, but I dont have Move Hero blah blah blah or Set Loc center of integer b I can get the integer part but not the center of part.

 

[ap0calypse]

OK, but I dont have Move Hero blah blah blah or Set Loc center of integer b I can get the integer part but not the center of part.

You need to create 3 variables:

Variable Info

Variable 1:

• Name: "Hero"
• Type: "Unit"
• Array: Yes

Variable 2:

• Name: "Loc"
• Type: "Location"
• Array: Yes

Variable 3:

• Name: "Region"
• Type: "Region"
• Array: Yes

In the trigger where a player chooses a hero, set this action:

• Set Hero[Player Number] = (Last Created Unit)

Since I don't know which hero-system you use, this is the basic form.
If it is a tavern-system, it would be something like this:

• Set Hero[(Player number of (Owner of (Sold unit)))] = (Sold unit)

Allright, now you've set up the variable "Hero" correctly.
Then we will set up the regions, as shown in my previous post (I believe you have no problems with that?).

Well, then we shall start on the actual trigger

Trigger Info

We start with the loop:
Add a new action and select "For each Integer B, do multiple actions" (under the if/then/else-actions).
Set the '10' to the amount of players there are in your map.

Now the thing you had a problem with: the set loc.
Add a new action inside the loop and select "Set Variable" (above the if/then/else-actions).
As variable, choose "Loc" (which you have created before).

Normally, you would see "Set Loc[Index] = Value" (if you don't, you've messed the variable up).
Instead of the "Index", choose "Function" -> "For Loop Integer B".

For the value, choose "Center of Rect", but instead of the "Playable Map Area", set it to the variable "Region".
Yet again, you will see "Region[Index]", instead of the Index, choose "For loop Integer B" again.

Follow the same steps for the move hero-action and you should have it.

 

[Bwathke]

These are my results..... And it dosent work but there is going to be only one unit per player so is there someway I could do it by moving all of players units even though there is only one?

 

[ap0calypse]

Aye, you've done it wrong...
You only need 1 variable for the regions with an array, you've made 6 region variables - each with an array.
And actually: you didn't use my location-variable... so you've got leaks

For moving all units for a player it's really simple:
Set a variable unit group (yes, variables again) to "All units owned by player[Integer B]"
Then create an action:

• Unit group - Pick every unit in Group Variable and do
  • Loop - actions
    • Unit - move (Picked unit) to Loc[1])
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

 

[Bwathke]

Yeah the custom script screwed the map completely wouldnt load at all came up with error and crashed warcraft 3 but I will try that

 

[ap0calypse]

Custom scripts are easy to use (since it's just JASS... and only the easy JASS ).

You always start with "call"

After that comes one of these:
DestroyGroup
RemoveLocation
DestroyForce
GroupClear
ForceClear
(did I miss one?)

And after that comes:
(udg_[Variable Name])
-> User Defined Global (meaning it's a global variable, set by a user... as simple as that )
Everything is case sensitive

 

[Bwathke]

OK, what that makes no sense xD How does any of this move the certain unit to a certain place? If only Twilights Eve wasnt protected xD OK, all I need is how to move a unit owned by a player in a group to a point thats it and I have it figured out

 

[ap0calypse]

Well, some day you've got to learn this, I thought this would be a good occasion -.-

• Actions
  • Set Group = (Units in (Playable map area) owned by [Your Player])
  • Player Group - Pick every player in [Player Group] and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Group and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set Loc[1] = (Center of (Playable map area))
          • Unit - Pause (Picked unit)
          • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to Loc[1]
          • Unit - Unpause (Picked unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

That's it?

Edit: this is for if you've already got a player group variable (which I believe you do)

 

[Bwathke]

So the Loc[1] would be the loot boxes? And I agree I would like to learn this but I am in the younger group of people on here so I'm not nearly as good as some people but I am trying This will sound really gay and I think its odd but I cant get Set Group = (Units in (Playable Map Area) etc. I have a player group array variable is that right kind?

 

[ap0calypse]

I see, no problem ^^

A few basics:
Force = Player Group
Group = Unit Group

Whenever I use "Group", I mean "Unit Group"
If I use "Force", I mean "Player Group".

So you've got the wrong type, it must be unit group (think logically: you want to pick multiple units, you need to have a unit group).

 

[Bwathke]

Oh yeah xD I though it would be player group because we were using the players units.... OK, do I really set Loc[1] as Playable map area or the region I want?

 

[ap0calypse]

I will not answer this one, figure it out on your own, grasshopper
Think logically and the answer shall be yours.

Do you want me to create full trigger actually? This was erm... the partial trigger.
If so, you need to tell me the correct answer to your question ^^ (otherwise I won't do it, so it's up to you this time ).

 

[Bwathke]

Dang you! Just kidding so you want me to do the entire trigger or just the Loc part?

 

[ap0calypse]

Dang you! Just kidding so you want me to do the entire trigger or just the Loc part?

The Loc part.
And - if possible - the reason why your region setups didn't work (you created a screeny of it a while ago).

[ap0calypse]

Seems like it worked?
Or do you don't know how to get out? xD

 

[Bwathke]

Working on the -exit feature as we speak xD

 

[ap0calypse]

Ohh, that's even easier.

Since I don't really like learning you more, I just give the trigger

• Do you think this would do? ^^
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -exit as An exact match
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -exit as An exact match
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -exit as An exact match

    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc[1])
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

p.s.: click my dragon and my egg, please

Edit: forgot to mention...
Set boolean to true when you enter the loot-area.

 

[Bwathke]

OK, got it all set up for single-player now the next step..... MULTIPLAYER xD Ill post when I do more and I clicked both dragons but thank you sooooooooooo much for you help!
