Mineral Help

[Wing Zero]

ok i seen many rpg maps when u use mineral to upgrade it gose back to the amount u had before how do u do this?

 

[IDc)wood]

I dont get what youre saying... when you have minerals and use them, you lose the minerals you spent and go back to the amount you had before...

 

[Fyllo Zilotis]

well usually this is done like it adds minerals when the person levels up. use triggers like this:

Player
<human player>
Conditions
<Player> <custom score> (level) is 1,
Actions
<set mineral> ammount to <#>
<preserve trigger>

do this for every level the person can be (probably best not to make too many levels)

I think he is meaning that if he goes to say the Forge, and upgrades armor, the armor cost is set to 100 minerals, he upgrades, but gets a 100 mineral refund.

I don't think there is such a condition that can monitor upgrades.

If Custom score were to be the way to go, how would you define a trigger so that upgrades would be converted to Custom Value?

Since the refund concept makes the upgrades free, I'd recommend making them free.
If your looking to set some sort of limitation on when they can upgraded, I can imagine some different approaches.
But it would depend on what your doing in the map as to what could be done.

Such as the player gets a certain amount of kills, he gets a civilian in a protected area.
Take the civilian to a location that would designate getting an upgrade.
The civilian is removed giving you 100 Gas.
The cost of an upgrade is 100 Gas.
Have other locations for different credits.
1 for 100 minerals to buy something else.
1 for a hero, or many for different heros.

Again it depends on your map, and also how labor intensive you want to make it for the players, to get the bonus, or upgrade.

i gusse i should try both of them or try to find an unprotected map with the same trig im looking for

 

[tassadar920]

umm i read the answers up above and what fylo said has NOTHING to do with the question.

What i believe you meant was this, if a player purchased a marine for example, it would refund his money. Sometimes this is used by games so it can use minerals as a tracking money system and not have units be purchased for free.

if the player ALWAYS has 10 minerals for exmaple:
conditions:
player has less than 10 minerals
actions:
set minerals to 10

then copy this for 12, 14 or whatever you need ofor your trig.

yes i believe your right and if wing_zero is reffering to tthe DBZ map then that is the correct trigger

THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY

Trigger 1
-
All the Human players not the force
-
Current player kills atleast 200 men
Current player kills atmost 500 men
-
Set switch 1
--------------
Trigger 2
-
Same as above
-
switch 1 is set
-
Modify resource for current player: 20 minerals
Preserve Trigger
-----------------------------
Then once they reach above 500 kills make a trigger that says
atleast 501
atmost 1000
set switch 2
switch 2 is set
modify resource to 30 minerals
preserve trigger
etc.

[Battousai]

hmm let see i dont think there is a possible way to do that

and master virus ill also try yours btw what is a switch?

 

[Lwek]

Download this map and it will show you how to do it.
This is another way without switches that i suddenly thought of.
