Triggering Starting buildings invulnerable until...

webturtle0 · 02-07-2008

Hello,

I've been racking my brain attempting to figure out a solution to this. What I'm trying to do is make the starting buildings (i.e., the Town Hall, Tree of Life, Great Hall, etc., and their upgrades of course. But not those Town Halls, etc, that they create after the starting ones.) invulnerable, until a particular unit is killed off. The only problem is: The only way I can figure out how to do that is to plop those buildings down and make those buildings invulnerable until said event is performed, which would limit choices among races when playing to what I have plopped down, instead of simply allowing the player to choose their race and allow WC3 to automatically create those starting buildings/units.

What I'm going for is the ability to still allow people to choose their race, and make their starting building invulnerable, so that no one can win until a particular mob is killed. Then they can commence killing off each other.

Any suggestions on to how I might be able to do this?

Thanks!

Code:

Map Initialization ( after Create Starting Units )
Conditions
Actions
Pick Every Unit in Units ((Matching Unit) is a Town Hall Unit = True OR (Matching Unit) is a Worker = True)
     Loop - Actions
         Unit - Make (Picked Unit) Invulnerable

Code:

A Unit Enters (Playable Map Area)
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Make (Triggering Unit) Invulnerable

Code:

A Unit Dies
Conditions
(Triggering Unit) == Specific Unit That You Want
Actions
Pick Every Unit in (Units Owned by (Owner of (Triggering Unit))) and do actions
    Loop - Actions
        Unit - Make Unit Vulnerable

Is this what you want?

in the object editor, give every building unit that would ever be invulnerable the invulnerable ability, and use this trigger below or copy it from map attached

Code:

Vulnerablize
    Events
        Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        InvulernableUnit[(Player number of (Picked player))] Equal to No unit
                    Then - Actions
                        Set InvulernableUnit[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Random unit from (Units owned by (Picked player) matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to True) and ((Level of Invulnerable (Neutral) for (Matching unit)) Equal to 1))))
                    Else - Actions
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player) matching (((Matching unit) Not equal to InvulernableUnit[(Player number of (Picked player))]) and ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to True) and ((Level of Invulnerable (Neutral) for (Matching unit)) Equal to 1)))) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Unit - Remove Invulnerable (Neutral) from (Picked unit)

tested with UNDEAD, failproof
