Using the 2nd method works with splash. 4 triggers for up to ten units with splash, 5 for 15 units killed with splash, etc.

Red classic.

I don't understand where you get 4 triggers for 10 units, or 5 for 15. If anything it's 4 for 15 and 5 for 31. It still messes up with multiple players.

lil-Inferno's better at explaining it than me, but I'll post the triggers from my map tomorrow to help you understand.

I suppose I could post the exact triggers, but that wouldn't do any good, since the map is already posted, with comments, and so long as you follow the triggers, it should make sense. Think it through logically, and give (in your mind) player 1 a kill, then follow which triggers run. Do it again with player 1 and 2 both getting a kill, and again with player 1 getting 5 kills, player 2 getting 3 kills, and player 3 getting 1 kill.

I couldn't find them. I really, really, suck at finding triggers in a map (even if they have comments, which this one didn't). I think I found part of it, but I don't understand how it's different from "Perfect" kills to cash...

I urge you to read the kills to cash page in the wiki, as this has been well documented, and has all been done before.

I did... why does everyone assume I haven't read the wiki? I read it before I even started this thread. I have difficulty understanding the "perfect" system for some reason (it just doesn't make sense the way it's phrased), but I read over everything.

I don't feel like editing my map right now, but I think you should be able to copy the trigger

Copy triggers? Is that possible with Scmdraft2?

None.

Code

Trigger("Humans"){
Conditions:
Score("Current Player", Kills, At least, 16000);
Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", At least, 4);

Actions:
Set Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", Subtract, 4);
Set Score("Current Player", Subtract, 16000, Kills);
Set Deaths("Current Player", "Mineral Field (Type 3)", Add, 4);
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("EXP kerrigan");
}

Trigger("Humans"){
Conditions:
Score("Current Player", Kills, At least, 12000);
Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", At least, 3);

Actions:
Set Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", Subtract, 3);
Set Score("Current Player", Subtract, 12000, Kills);
Set Deaths("Current Player", "Mineral Field (Type 3)", Add, 3);
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("EXP kerrigan");
}

Trigger("Humans"){
Conditions:
Score("Current Player", Kills, At least, 8000);
Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", At least, 2);

Actions:
Set Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", Subtract, 2);
Set Score("Current Player", Subtract, 8000, Kills);
Set Deaths("Current Player", "Mineral Field (Type 3)", Add, 2);
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("EXP kerrigan");
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------//

Trigger("Humans"){
Conditions:
Score("Current Player", Kills, At least, 4000);
Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", At least, 1);

Actions:
Set Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", Subtract, 1);
Set Score("Current Player", Subtract, 4000, Kills);
Set Deaths("Current Player", "Mineral Field (Type 3)", Add, 1);
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("EXP kerrigan");
}

That's the trigger I used for Infested Kerrigan splash-kills to cash. Adding another trigger:

Code

Trigger("Humans"){
Conditions:
Score("Current Player", Kills, At least, 20000);
Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", At least, 5);

Actions:
Set Deaths("Player 8", "Infested Kerrigan (Infested Terran)", Subtract, 5);
Set Score("Current Player", Subtract, 20000, Kills);
Set Deaths("Current Player", "Mineral Field (Type 3)", Add, 5);
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("EXP kerrigan");
}

That would add another 5 to the current possible 10 kills-by-splash, making a total of 15 kills-by-splash working.

Red classic.

I like your system, Zany. Thanks. I think I'll use something similar to what we've already discussed here.

I'ma go try and get some work done on the map...

None.

I think a system where I simply placed a kills to cash trigger for each kill of a unit up to a couple thousand or so would work, but I fear it might cause trigger lag (there will be a good variety of things to blow up, and a technically infinite number of them XD). Would thousands of kills to cash triggers possibly cause trigger lag?

You could add a pretty much unlimited amount of such kills to cash triggers without any problems. Grab a trigger duplicator and go crazy.

There's no such thing as trigger lag.

There is no way I can play Astrogears, even though starcraft's recommended requirements are a 400 MHz processor and 64 MB of ram.

But why would you want to?
PS. More like 90MHz/16MB.

None.

All of these triggers are commented, and the only thing in the map is kills to cash, and a leaderboard trigger. I suppose I should have pointed out the correct map. The one you were looking at was simply a utilization of the system.

I have difficulty understanding the "perfect" system for some reason (it just doesn't make sense the way it's phrased), but I read over everything.

It's pretty hard to figure out, so the best way is to make your own test map, and/or reverse engineer someone else's concept map (like I posted earlier).

Text Trigedit lets you copy/paste. To compile the triggers, you have to push the check mark button, or else it won't save the triggers.
