SC2Mapster

i just made a map where the archons chases the SCV over a map and the SCVs build a base and they build an armoy and tries to defet the archons.. but i dont have any proper Victory Screen when you win or lose.

i dont know much about triggers. I want to see when all 8 SCVs die then the Archons win and when the 2 Archons die the SCVs should win. but i have no clue to get that to work. ive tried somestuff that i though was going to work but everyone got defeat if 1 SCV died :>

I believe that there is an action that checks how many living units are in the game still. But, I don't know what it is called. I have done sort of the same thing with another game, i'll post a pic of it later.

[edit] got the pic, all you need to change is

Event
-Every 1 second of game time
Variables
Conditions
Actions
-If than else
-If number of living units(scv units in(entire map) owned by any player blah blah.... ) = 0
-Then End game for player (owner of scv) as a defeat, and end game as victory for archon ppl!
-Else

Then another one but vice versa
Living units (archons) = 0
End game for scv as victory and defeat for archons

Some one else may have a better way of doing it. I'm just typing off the top of my head :P Should work, if not. Pm someone or something.

How do i make that if part? :>

And i dont have any HQ. Its the SCV and the Archon who is the "Main" thing

Ahem, That was just for showing what was sort of needed.
Just try to use the trigger i typed for you mmmk?
:D

Ummm

try this

Global Variables

• Unit Group for scv's (add scv units to this unit group when you creat them)
• Unit group for Archons (add archon units to this unit group when you creat them)
• PlayerGroup for Archon players (add archon players to this player group at the start of the game)
• PlayerGroup for SCV players (add SCV players to this player group at the start of the game)

    • If

        • Num units in unit group(archon unit group) = 0
      • then
        • set defeat for archon players
        • set victory for scv players - When creating the scv and archon units you must add them to the specific Unit group variables

I was pretty close. But, you can EASILY see that I'm still learning...

i have no idea how to do that :>

@Squide: Go

Did you take a look at the trigger I posted?

ive just placed the SCVs and the Archons as a start unit :> no fancy stuff with triggers for spawning the units really :/

I just started to do this. im good at map making and balancing of the maps and stats, abillitys and stuff but not the trigger stuff :>

@Squide: Go

Then you need to go add the units by trigger

This will also help you not spawn units for players not in game

aww man...

i have no clue how to do that :> ill try i guess

Well That trigger up there I wrote you as well as those variables will come in handy to you as you make future changes to your map if you dont understand any part of it PM me I would be happy to help you understand it.

Damn the above triggers are ineffeicient. Here's a walkthrough for both victory and defeat triggers. Defeat for scv's: Make a new global variable called SCV_Group and make it a Unit Group type variable. Make a trigger called Initializer. Make it like this: Events - Time Elapsed - 0.0 Game time. Actions - Pick every unit in Playable Map area of type: SCV (Whatever the escapist unit is) and do actions Actions - Add Picked Unit to SCV_Group Then make a new trigger called SCV Remover. Events - Any Unit Dies OR - Conditions - Dying unit is in SCV_Group Conditions - Dying unit is unit type of Archon Actions - If - SCV_Group = Empty Unit Group Then - Show Defeat message to enemies of Archon player (You would have to customize this, since i don't know what team or player the archon is). Else - If - Unit type of dying unit is Archon Then - Defeat Player Owner of Dying Unit Victory message to enemies of Player Owner of Dying Unit Remove dying unit from SCV_Group

Ive tried for 3 days now straight to get this to work,

ive tried Oblivirons suggestion but i dont get it to work.

cant i just send the mapfile to someone and they can fix my triggers? with spawning Units and Victory stuff ? :( im really bad at the triggering stuff but with the Terrain and Data im pretty god at.

can someone help me?

Send me a pm ill code it for you -.-

How hard can it be?

Fixed

Speciall txh to Oblivrion

Umm my trigger up there isnt in-effiecient.... It handles team loss... where as Oblivions doesnt.... Meaning the trigger i had up there has more flexability....

Its also intended to require the units to be spawned in the game and not created from the terrain screen.. This is so your map can handle a variable ammount of players. So say only 2 players join the game. Youd have 1 scv and 1 archon. and the Trigger would end the game properly.

If you have all the units created from the terrain editor. You would then need a trigger to delete the units for the players that dont exist in game already. Which IMO is more inefficiant then just creating the units with a trigger...

I spose maybe you couldnt figure it out... but whatever.

Actually, the trigger up there is a rough draft. The one i implemented in game checks for amount of players, and does victory for both scv/archons with one group and one trigger.
