Hi,

I'm a bit confused by my triggers, set to be a level on a defense map. Here they are :

Quote

All Players : 'Switch 01' is Set.
Elapsed scenario time is exactly 30 game seconds.

Create 10 Protoss High Templar at 'Start' for Player 8.
'Switch 01' is Cleared.
'Switch 02' is Set.
Preserve trigger.

And for the Move trigger :

Quote

P8 : Always

Move All [any unit] for Current Player at 'Start' to 'End'
Preserve trigger.

Here's the confusing part. The templars are created at the 'End', and don't move from there. So, adding the 'Defeat' trigger, all the templars die, we lose all our lives, and we're dead.

I don't know if I did something wrong, but I need your help.

The move action does exactly that, it moves them to the location. Use the order action to make them walk there.

move location is actually a teleport. In SCXE it is called teleport for that reason.

I see... thanks a lot ! It worked

I'm using ScmDraft2, so it says "move" to that action.

Since when?

One more thing !

I just don't want to create another topic, it would be useless. How do I make a beacon disabled? Like in all individual defenses?

I know I have to put a beacon somewhere, but the thing with the lights and if the beacon is ally or ennemy...

Thanks again !

That?

Exactly !

I'll try it tomorrow, thanks !

I can't tell you since when. But I guess a long time ago because in my version (2.6 english) that's just the way it is.

I guess I never used 2.6. I always had 2.5, then made FartyEdit.

Yeah they changed a lot in 2.6, i remember now ha ha. Cause a lot of the mapmaker choose not to upgrade, me being one of them.

Anyways the create units trigger is really redundant and conflicting.

1) The use of Preserve Trigger suggest that you want the trigger to happen multiple times.
2) Elapsed time is exactly x game seconds is bad technique. Unless your using hyper triggers then triggers will take more than one second between times triggers are checked. So it is possible for the triggers to be checked at 29 seconds and not again till 31 seconds. Thus the action would not happen.
3) I suspect that the switch was used to prevent multiple sets of units from being created. This would happen even if the trigger was not preserved if the trigger is owned by multiple players, but there is no reason to give that trigger to multiple players.

Assuming your attempting to create a standard defense where the units are created at regular intervals this is all you need.
Players-
-Comp Player (just one)
Conditions:
-Elapsed scenario time is at least 30 game seconds.
Actions:
-Create 10 Protoss High Templar at 'Start' for Player 8.

Fix'd

Wouldn't you want this:

Players-
-Comp Player (just one)
Conditions:
-Elapsed scenario time is at least 30 game seconds.
Actions:
-Create 10 Protoss High Templar at 'Start' for Player 8.

And then have the order trigger separate from the create trigger.

Something like this:

Players-
-Comp Player (just one)
Conditions:
-Current Player brings at least 1 any unit to start
Actions:
-order to all any unit owned by current player at start to move to end
---And, Or---
-order to all any unit owned by current player at anywhere to move to end
-preserve

Use the last one if the computer has no other units that wouldn't be moved/make the condition specific to the computers unit:

-order to all protoss zealot owned by current player at anywhere to move to end
