Maybe I told you wrong. Sorry.

Here is how it should look:

-condition: -effect:

Ow, thanks!

Well, it didn't work...
I even deleted the trigger and built it again from scratch according to your screenshots. Nothing happens. I tried making the zones bigger, just in case, nothing happens...
I think my map might be broken somehow, I'll try that trigger again on a new map some time later today. Thanks again.

Wait, make sure your obj change owner in, rect. Is not over where the units will be in the match.... that does not work, you must place it OVER the units current position in the mapeditor. Therefore those brought in by triggers will not be affected

I have a question but I'm not sure if this is the place to ask it. You see, I was playing around with the trigger editor and decided to make a unit that is impervious to affecting effects. The stone statue seemed like a good choice so I used the triggers to change owner, attack, movement, actions, range, area effect, and sight but the attack trigger would not work. I'm not sure why. Does anyone have a solution to make this work? I want him to be a bad bad man that must be defeated.

Got it finally to work.
Don't ask what I did differently, I don't know, but it is working now consistently.
Thanks to all who spent their time trying to help me!

Ok i have again started map making and am having the following problem.
I have a trigger creating an object at turn 5 which when killed is supposed to trigger another effect.the problem is that that object is not there actually in the starting. This gives me an error and the trigger shows missing, however if it is used it should work fine.
Any solution?

No unfortunately, the object MUST be there to begin....

But this is a logical error and if this is somehow excluded and the map is allowed to be generated in own maps section then i think it would work perfectly fine

No that trigger references objects that are already present in the map upon launching the game.

But there are two ways for a 'workaround' of this.

1) Having the unit already in place somewhere and instead of the first trigger 'creating' him, have that trigger move him where you want him to be.

2) Having the first trigger that makes the unit activate a second trigger that is 'Objs in area' setting the obj to the certain unit that you are creating, the nr to 0, and the area to the whole map. This basically makes a logical test of whether any of that specific unit is on the map.

Hi guys!
Sory about this question but is there a possibility while "triggering" for example effect: change units stats to select a bunch of units. I ask because I'm trying to make my map and making those triggers for every single unit is really exhausting.
Thanks.

Yes, you can use thr area to definr a rectangle and all units in it will change stats.

Thanks for reply but if those units change their position out of a rectangle will it also work?

no, the rectangle will be "observed" for units right when the trigger fires.

only "objXY" marked units are "remembered" on any time during the gameplay.

Ok i understand now. And the last question: is there any possibility that in future there will be added functions of selecting multiple objects in those effects?

It is already added for most effects ( thanks to my nagging to do them and dev obliging to do so )

That's good but I guess it isn't in most of effects

mroziu wrote:That's good but I guess it isn't in most of effects

And they are for instance.. ?

I don't know if you know what i mean becouse of my English but i meant selecting multiple units and the trigger will "follow" those units all the time. I don't know which triggers have this possibility.

I know what you mean .
And the answer to your question is simple - try experimenting with triggers yourself. I learnt it that way

mroziu wrote:I don't know if you know what i mean becouse of my English but i meant selecting multiple units and the trigger will "follow" those units all the time. I don't know which triggers have this possibility.

currently all triggers have only a few (objxy, objxy2) registers what can store "units" and can "follow" them if they moved on the map (like the hero that must not die).
So the answer is: "currently none".

And yes it can be implemented, but we are lack of space on the mapeditor screen, and i am not yet convinced it is very much necessary -> please open a topic about the request, and how that should work if implemented, and why it is important for mapdesigners.

thanks!

new: on "declare victory" you can add optionally a message to be shown to the player with the "you win" or you "lose" dialog.

new effect possibility:

Eff: Exec Command the command effect is an effect that is fired by a command, in the Message field, available commands
ADDSPEC Adds a spec unit action to Unit1/Area of units, usage: ADDSPEC:IS_INATTACKABLE

using this u can set to any unit to have eg. "IS_GAIA_AI_ANIMAL_HOSTILE" AI by deafult meaning it will attack enemy within its sight.

Cool!

I don't understand how it works...Which part I really need to fill in?

in to "Message" field.

I know how to use this command now.
I tried some of them (e.g. ADDSPEC:IS_INCONVERTIBLE,ADDSPEC:CAN_SPY_ENEMY_CARRIER) ,and they works. However, I don't know why some command not works,such as CAN_HIT_FLYING. Another question is can I make enemy peaceful?

If you do not understand how triggers work then read this http://aok.heavengames.com/university/d ... -tutorial/ - i have implemented the same engine.

i mention this again - if u need any of the trigger conditions under that link that is not yet implemented in game - tell me, i can quickly implement new trigger conditions or effects.

It just says "file not found."

i have fixed the link
