Triggering Multiple Actions

DarkBlade · 01-24-2008

I'm looking for a way to put multiple "Enters Region" actions into one trigger, but not have them interfere with eachother.

For example, I have a trigger that gives you an item after entering the region, but I also want to make it so that if a hero enters another region, it gives them gold. I just don't want to create triggers for each "Enters Region" action :P

i dont think i quite follow the question, but ill take a blind stab at it, just use a bunch of if then else statements for each region

just make
Event
Unit enters region
Condition
Unit = heroguy
Actions
If region = region A
Then give triggering unit gold
if region = region B
then kill unit

and so on

Ah, I figured it might need I/T/E, but I didn't think there was a Condition involving stuff about Regions, but I found them

Thanks.

Off-topic (sort of): If I create a special effect on units to indicate they have a quest, and you need to enter a region to get this quest, how do I destroy the special effect? Since the special effects are created at map initialization, I can't find a way to destroy it once a unit enters the region...

I have this (btw, Quest_Effect[1] is the variable I used to track what special effect needs to be destroyed, it's at map initialization):

Code:

Destroy Effect
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Secret Gold <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Hyrul Inner Fire <gen> contains (Entering unit)) Equal to True
            Then - Actions
                Special Effect - Destroy Quest_Effect[1]
            Else - Actions

Does nothing :P

i believe you want to save the special effect to a variable (of type special effect) when you create it at initialization, then destory the effect set to the variable when the guy enters the region or whatever

DarkBlade · 01-24-2008

Well, that didn't work until I replaced the "Secret Gold <gen>" with "Hyrul Inner Fire <gen>", but that makes it so I have to make a trigger for each special effect destroy :P

Is there a way around this?

more lame old topics..

Code:

Destroy Effect
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Secret Gold <gen>
        Unit - A unit enters Hyrul Inner Fire <gen>
    Conditions
        ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Hyrul Inner Fire <gen> contains (Entering unit)) Equal to True
            Then - Actions
                Special Effect - Destroy Quest_Effect[1]
            Else - Actions
               If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                   If - Conditions
                       (Secret Gold <gen> contains (Entering unit)) Equal to True
                   Then - Actions
                       Special Effect - Destroy Quest_Effect[2]
                   Else - Actions
                       ...

just use else if's?

I fixed this a long time ago.

Also don't nest those damn if/then/else actions. Use a loop if possible.
