Hey ppl.

I was making a trigger for whenever a certain unit kills a hero a random player of the killing units team gets a reward by throwing a dice. However if the highest throw equals the other highest thrower, the trigger wont rethrow(restart) its the first part in the actions, why doesnt it work?

thx

I not sure if this is entirely the direct way that you would like to fix it but should you find no solution, another way of looking at it would be to have it as a loop that breaks only if the dice rolls aren't equal

When I want your opinion...I'll give it to you!

Because the And, Or are working in another way. Everything you specify under them is used with this logical comparison.
For example:

 General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                And
                   Conditions
                       Dice3 < Dice1
                       Dice1 == Dice2

Will return true, only if Dice3 < Dice1 AND Dice1 == Dice2. The same for Or. Restructorize your conditions, then it'll work :)

@o3210: Go

ah man, i did like you showed in the example and it worked, but the i started adding "or's" and ive been totally messing up for a while now, ive been trying what seemed logic to me but.... could you pls show me the example with 2x the "or and" statement in there?

i tried it like:

        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                Or
                    Conditions
                        And
                            Conditions
                                Dice3 == Dice2
                                Dice1 < Dice3
                Or
                    Conditions
                        And
                            Conditions
                                Dice1 == Dice2
                                Dice3 < Dice1

and like this:

        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                And
                    Conditions
                        Or
                            Conditions
                                Dice1 == Dice3
                                Dice2 < Dice1
                And
                    Conditions
                        Or
                            Conditions
                                Dice1 == Dice2
                                Dice3 < Dice1

i tried more ways.....

Okay, let me do this in a second :D

General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
            If
                Or
                    Conditions
                        And
                            Conditions
                                Dice3 < Dice1
                                Dice1 == Dice2
                        And
                            Conditions
                                Dice2 < Dice1
                                Dice1 == Dice3
                        And
                            Conditions
                                Dice1 < Dice2
                                Dice3 == Dice2
            Then

Should work :) If atleast 1 AND returns TRUE, then it will execute everything written in THEN, if everything is FALSE, it will execute the else part.
