Capture the Flag

[River_God]

ya except how do I work set players of the other team defeated, make a loop if (rmGetTeam(1)!=rmGetTeam(2){ Set Player Defeated  ?  damn how will I be able to place the object definition using a trigger effect?

[pftq]

Yes you have the defeated correct.

Object definition as in the variable (just as you did in the previous effects).

[River_God]

but the trigger effect was deploy army, not place object definition. Also I am having trouble making a trade route. here is what I used.

int mytrade=rmCreateTradeRoute("Forest Path");
rmAddTradeRouteWaypoint(mytrade, 1, 1);
rmAddTradeRouteWaypoint(mytrade, 0, 0);
rmBuildTradeRoute(mytrade, "dirt");

[pftq]

Previous condition then

[River_God]

ok what would you do to create a trade route that went from the top of the map to the bottom. I don't want any sockets jsut the route

[pftq]

Not sure what you confused on... Did you read over Monty's tutorial? Basically 3 steps:

1) Create the route (as in assign a variable and define it)
2) Set waypoints
3) Build it.

Kind of like areas.

ok, simple mistake. For functions, how exactly would I type out a function with a return. What I want to do exactly is have a function that will look to see if a unit is close to one of four other units, then tell me which one. How would I do that?

[pftq]

It's the same as PHP and Java.

You just have at the end of the function:

return <value>;

(no <>s)

It might help if you showed me the exact function you're trying to make.

[River_God]

If I could make it then I wouldn't have asked. It would be something like this:

void USItrig(int USIplayer=0, int USIunit=0){

int USIselectTrig=rmCreateTrigger("Unit Selection Island select Trigger"+riv);
rmSwitchToTrigger(USIselectTrig);
rmAddTriggerCondition("Units in Area");
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("DstObject", USIunit);
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("Player", USIplayer);
rmSetTriggerConditionParam("UnitType", "IGCHarbormaster");
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("Dist", 5);
rmSetTriggerConditionParam("Op", "==");
rmSetTriggerConditionParamInt("Count", 1);
rmAddTriggerEffect("

riv=riv+1;

Because I don't know much about PHP, and I am working with triggers, I am not sure where to put the return value. and what exactly would I type in the first void, would it be if I wanted an integer just   int USIselectTrig(){ or int something=0; USIselectTrig(){   ??

[River_God]

Version I am testing and working with. It works so far...

[pftq]

What exactly do you want to return though? riv?

Would the function's only purpose be to return that value?

You could do something like:

int riv_update() {
 return riv+1;
}

You could then treat riv_update() as an integer variable:

1+riv_update would be 1+1+riv

[River_God]

I would want to return a bool, saying that it is true that Harbormaster is close to USIunit, or false. I would later on in the main have 
if (USItrig(1,  USIhandcav)=true){
HCadd=5;}

with maybe loops for player or unit type depending on what works. I was just wondering how I would make it only return "true" if Harbormaster is close to USIunit, and if the code I just made up would make HCadd actually equal 5

[pftq]

Well unless you want to get into custom effect making, you can't exactly do that with triggers just like that.  If you were to use custom effects, variable from triggers stay in triggers only - they do not mix into regular scripting.

In that case you might as well (to avoid custom effects) just have one trigger with that condition, and for its effect, have it fire the triggers you want (and those triggers would have their own unique conditions as well).

[River_God]

Hmmm.... is there any way to have that without triggers? like go opposite what you suggested?

[pftq]

? Putting regular variables into triggers - that's what you've been doing already.

Just try the second method - have one trigger which has the condition, fire the rest of the other triggers.
