Very basic Question here

[SC_IronMan]

Recently i have had some help on bnet to make a map. ya i am a noob. but i wanted to know this for a trigger: but i cant remember exactly word by word what it said.

Condition: whenever a player kills 30 enemey units any unit

Action: they receive or create 10 freindly units any where on the map

I want to know how do i make it so the units created are made at the start up point where u start out at. thx for the help

Oh boy... This one's a toughy. Just to let you know you'd have to create a different trigger for every 30 kills until you couldn't stand making it anymore or you thought it was fair enough. But anyways.

Conditions:
Player X Kills at least 30 men.
Actions:
Create 5 Drones at location for current player

Conditions:
Player X Kills at least 60 men.
Actions:
Create 5 Drones at location for current player

Conditions:
Player X Kills at least 90 men.
Actions:
Create 5 Drones at location for current player

Conditions:
Player X Kills at least 120 men.
Actions:
Create 5 Drones at location for current player

And so on.

I have an idea to cut down on the trigger creation time. yay!

SCtrigger is a program that automatically makes those triggers for you, kill units for minerals and gas and stuff. unfortunately, that makes a problem, since your actions are to create units. but this is my idea.

first, download SC trigger in the faq/master virus's goodbye thread. then, make it so that every 30 kills of any unit up to whatever you want, give 1 custom score to current player. hit create triggers, load the triggers into your map. now, make another trigger so:

conditions: score: has atleast 1 custom score
actions: set score: subtract custom score by 1
create units at location: create 5 drones at location for current player.
preserve trigger.

that will be nice. however, if in your map you dont plan on going much over 300 kills or so for each person, or you just found what I saw really confusing, you may want to do them manually as matrix mentioned.

also, all of us are new at one time, and if you ever need help on anything just post here

if live gives you a lemon, shove it up life's ass and ask for an orange

Another way you can do it is:


Conditions:Always

Actions: Modify Score for Player ___ (all who you want to make this work to) Set to 0 Kills.
Show leaderboard for most kills, display label:___
Disable use of computer players in leaderboard calculations.

NEW TRIGGER

Conditions: Current player kill score is exactly 30.

Actions: Create ___ ____ for current player at ___.
Modify score for current player: Set to 0 kills.
Preserve trigger.

There that should do it

No that wouldn't work because Kills SCORE is more than normal kills because one zergling would get you 50 score points and an ultralisk would get you like 500 but they are both ony 1 unit. So that one wouldn't work.

ya, I dont get ur trigger. ur top one is unneeded even if you did do it, and you would want to just use only the bottom with a hyper trigger. that is exactly what we have been saying, though

 

[Skating Master]

did he say startup klike a location like a starting place in the map? im thinking hes saying they wont go where i want when i create them for 'Anywhere' location

 

[SC_IronMan]

i know how to create the units but i dont know how to make them start at the players start location. i need help with that.....

 

[BH_Naft]

just go to the location layer, and create a location at the start location....then in the create units trigger make the units be created at that location

ie:

location: "location 0" (at starting location)
trigger action: Create "X" "Units" at "Location 0" for "current player"

Creating A location for triggers

Ok im completely lost, how do u creat a location

 

[Bolt Head]

On the menu bar, Go to Layer and choice Location. Then just drag a box out in the map area.

Lastly double click the location to rename it.

You should make a new thread for your questions, If you plan to return and ask many questions just make a single thread for all of them. Just because your questions will be really simplistic for most of us and some would be annoyed if there is a thread for everyone. Good luck in your Mapmaking.

I'm going to fix what Bolt said because I'm MV and I pwn him.
On the menu bar, Go to Layer and choose Location(Control + L). Then click and drag a box out in the map area.
Lastly double click the location to rename it or click on the location and then press 'enter' to rename it.
Very basic, don't question on the location elevation, you don't need to know what that does yet...

Bolt and MV pinned it. Next time start a new thread, please.
