I made a trigger so every time a player kills something they get 3 minerals. However, I don't know how to make it so when they kill a hive, they get 50. Can anyone help me please? =) thanks!
Conditions: Kills(CurrentPlayer,Exactly,1,Zerg Hive,All Players); Actions: SetResources(CurrentPlayer,Add,47,Minerals); copy this trigger once for every time you want it to work per player. you have to change the number in the kills condition to 2, then 3, etc. in the second trigger, i subtracted 3, because you already got 3 minerals for killing something.
so I have to make a crap load of triggers for it to work huh? Well I suppose if there's no way to use 1-2 triggers, haha. Thanks man!
There is a way to do it Hodi Pu I just don't know nearly enough about the trigger system to explain it. I just know its possible from something Imagine said awhile back. I think it involves activating some form of score system and then giving a point for killing a Hive and then subtracting 1 point from the score and giving whatever player 50 minerals (or 47 same difference). Im just not sure how to put it in code format or if that is exactly correct.
I'm no expert on triggers, but I think there was something called Preserve Trigger. Maybe that's what you're looking for?
There is that wick but depending on the trigger involved I think if a player killed a hive just once he would keep getting 50 minerals every cycle.
lordkerwyn is correct, if the trigger was preserved, he would get 47 more minerals every single cycle that he had 1 hive kill. imagine's way involves finding out the actual starcraft score for killing a hive, then subtracting from your score that amount, then adding 47. but that changes your score, and not your minerals.
yeah, I used the kill scoreboard give me minerals for unit kills. The kill scoreboard is already correlated to the players actual kills, so I didn't have to do much. I tried setting killing hives to a custom score, but then... It worked once, then after I killed my first hive, my income would change by getting 50 minerals for everything I killed (not just hives) instead of 3.
I guess the first idea of EatMeReturns is the sollution, I was thinking of that too. But that wouldn't contain much more triggers... Isn't the switch good for this? or could you solve the problem with preserving the trigger.
my first idea would be 1 trigger for every time you want it to happen. ...basically, if you want to make sure no matter how many hives there are, you get 50 minerals, you would have to copy it about 200 times... maybe 100.
Is it just a regular melee map or is it a UMS is a storyline type thing where killing Hives is a prominent feature? I can't see one player making more than 10 hives MAX in any game, probably four at the most if they keep dying. If this is the case, 10 per player. If it is a UMS, have it for the set amount of Hives in tha game.
Heres what I did for an rpg I made one time. Custom Cash for the hive (lets assume the kill score for killing a hive is 1000) (custom cash for one unit only) Works best with hyper triggers so it doesn't mess up first trigger Condition Player's kill score is (kill score for killing a hive) Actions: Set kill score 0 Set player resources: add 50 mins preserve trigger Second trigger condition Players kill score is at least 1001 actions action set kill score to 0 preserve triggers third trigger condition Players kill score is at most 999 actions action set kill score to 0 preserve triggers This means that if the player kills anything but a hive, he gets nothing. Condition Player's kill score is twice the score for killing a hive Actions: Set kill score 0 Set player resources: add 100 mins preserve trigger this is in case the player kills two hives at excactly the same time, faster than hyper triggers can detect and subtract the kill score from one of the two hives being killed. Place this before the previous two triggers if you want it to work Have fun ^^
I'm guessing this is some kind of RPG/campaign map, like the WarCraft III level where you're Grom Hellscream and you have to cut down all the lumber. If that's the case, you probably have a certain number of hives pre-placed on the map. If so, there are a few different ways you can set this up to work. 1. EatMeReturns's idea is the simplest, because although you have to make a few variations of the trigger, you can just copy the first one you make and change a few of the fields without too much time investment. 2. Place a location around each hive you've placed in the map. Set up a trigger where if the computer commands at most 0 hives at the location you get 50 minerals. Once again, you'll need a duplicate location and trigger for each hive. It's unlikely in a campaign map that a computer that's lost its hive will be able to build a new base and upgrade all the way to hive before being knocked out, but if you're worried about this you can add an action to the trigger that defeats the computer once its hive is gone. Then just use a different computer player for each of the hives/bases. The result will be a map that is similar to the third and final Terran missions in BroodWar. If, on the other hand, your map involves an indefinite number of hives in indefinite places being created over the course of the level, there's really no better way to do things than to use EatMeReturns's idea and just make a whole bunch of redundant triggers. 20... 30... you'll have to come up with a number that's appropriate to your map and a realistic expectation of how many hives a person could theoretically kill in one game. For what it's worth, decemberscalm has a really great idea for any map where you weren't already getting money for kills. His system rewards you for hives but nothing else. If you decided to scrap the general kill rewards and only reward killing of hives, his approach is the most simple and uses the fewest triggers. Good luck!
An Idea... You can say: If <zerg player> suffers at least one death of Zerg Hive Modify resources for <you>: add 50 ore Modify death counts for <zerg player>: subtract 1 Zerg Hive Preserve trigger However, that won't work if there's other players
I think it could work if you change the "you" by "curreny player" This would mean any player that kill a hive get 50 min(i dont know if it work for comp). Anyway I don't really remember but I made a map wich you get different amount of minerals by different building killed so it is possible.
This can be done WAY more easy, and with 0 triggers...... I know this is an old thread but I can't seem to find any related threads that show this solution so here it is: Just set the reward value for killing a hive to 47 minerals.... @ data editor -> select hive -> combat tab -> Kill Resource (set 47 minerals) now each time a player kills a hive he/she gets 47 minerals (in addition to 3 for killing something) the only drawback is you get a floating number that says +47 when you kill it You can just set it to 50 and exclude the hive from the +3 trigger, then you get a nice +50
Sorry saltamontes, but this thread is for a Starcraft: Brood War map, not a Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty map.
