Capture the Flag

No, I was just lazy, I will do that now.  Anyways, is there a way of making an "Op" between two numbers, like 1<#<8 ?

[pftq]

No but you can use && (and) and || (or)

like: x<8&&x>4 which would mean 4<x<8

[River_God]

ok what does this say to you.

rmAddTriggerCondition("Units in Area");
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("DstObject", HMUSI);
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("Player", HmPlaya1);
rmSetTriggerConditionParam("UnitType", "IGCHarbormaster");
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("Dist", 0.01);
rmSetTriggerConditionParam("Op", "==");
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("Count", 1);
rmAddTriggerCondition("Timer");
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("Param1", 179);
rmAddTriggerEffect("Army Deploy");   
rmSetTriggerEffectParamArmy("SrcArmy", HmPlaya1, HArmy1);
rmSetTriggerEffectParam("Clear", "true");
rmSetTriggerEffectParam("ProtoName", Hmarmy1);
rmSetTriggerEffectParamInt("Count", HmNarmy1);
rmSetTriggerEffectParam("Location", rmXFractionToMeters(rmPlayerLocXFraction(HmPlaya1))+",1,"+rmZFractionToMeters(rmPlayerLocZFraction(HmPlaya1)+0.01));
rmSetTriggerLoop(true);
rmSetTriggerActive(true);

None of this happens until 179 seconds have passed.
An IGCHarbormaster would have to almost be directly over the HMUSI object - Exactly 1.
Then a unit is placed slightly above the player base location.

[River_God]

so if I changed the OP to <= and the Dist to 0.05 it should happen after 179 seconds if harbormaster is 5 or less away from USIunit a unit is placed?

[pftq]

No the radius by default is already <=.  I meant exactly 1 harbormaster unit.

Dist to 0.05 does not mean 5 or less away though.  If you want 5 grid squares - that equals 10 meters (Dist is in meters).

[River_God]

ok, that is exactly what I was wondering. So if I keep "==" and change 0.05 to 5, if it is 5 or less grid squares away unit will be placed.

[pftq]

Yes.

[River_God]

OK, I figured out why it wasn't working, for some reason it is registering the USIunit placed opposite to the one I want on the map, but it's fine for now.

I was wondering if I could have a non-scrambled version of Fort wars. I won't copy it or make any changes or give it to anyone or anything, I just want to learn from you and scrambled versions are only usefull in confirming unit names (I would have never found Jaguar Prowl knights without). Any version is fine, I just want to see how you did things.

[pftq]

I'll think about it... Maybe I'll give you 2.0 (3.0 is far more optimized though; loads faster and script is almost half-sized)

Though it wouldn't really help to see how I did things.

Almost everything I did was in XS or put into a function.  You would never see "rmAddTriggerCondition" or any other 'blocky' code in the script.

As for the USIunit - seeing as you placed multiple units using the same variable, it makes sense.  The most recently placed units probably took over the variable.

[River_God]

OK, does the "techtree" file actually show me the right tech number or do I have to find it elsewhere?

[pftq]

The tech number is the order the tech is in the list (first tech=0).

That is why it screwed up so many maps when they re-ordered all the techs in TWC.

[River_God]

ok, that's rough. And that list is out of date too. But I found the techs I wanted and counted them out in the techtree, took me forever. Thanks

[River_God]

Well, either I counted wrong, or I did nto get the right tech. Do you have a program or something that can number it all out for me?, or am I just gonna have to make a list myself?

[pftq]

Elpea wrote a short script that counted the techs for his other two lists (each version of the game has a specific list since the techs are re-arranged each time).

I can write one as well but it would probably be quicker to get it from him if he already has it.
