Here is the deal, in my map Shadow Tactics, you can mine Iron Ore from Iron Deposits by attacking them with miners. It slowly adds to a variable called P(player number)IronOre.
When you build a blacksmith, it slowly adds Equipment to the P(Player number)Equip variable and removes iron ore from the P(player number)IronOre variable.
So every 2 seconds it does a small -10 in bright grey, and +1 in Dark Grey above your blacksmith. Meaning it removes 10 iron ore and adds one equipment.
Equipment is used to hire units. Well the thing is, I need to make a trigger that...
[b]---------------------------------- When Player owns Blacksmith
P(#)IronOre > or = 10
Every 2 seconds create floating text above blacksmith -10 (light grey) +1 (Dark Grey) set P(#)IronOre = P(#)IronOre - 10 set P(#)Equip = P(#)Equip + 1 ---------------------------------- When Player owns Blacksmith
P(#)IronOre < 10
Every 2 seconds create floating text above blacksmith 0 (light grey) 0 (dark grey) ----------------------------------
[/b]
But its madness! I'd have to make a trigger for creating equip for each player, and another for mining, and another for multiple blacksmiths!
Thats... 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 Even with the help of coffee I'd be sitting here awhile.
Please help, Im about to go sepuku over this damn plan. It seems so perfect in my head, but when I hit the triggers, its a nightmare, I'm probably gonna lose sleep over this one lol.
Event - An Unit Is Attacked Conditions - (Unit type of (Attacked Unit) equal to Tralala) - (Unit type of (Attacking Unit) equal to Tralala2) Actions - Add 10 to (Owner of (Attacking Unit))
Umm... the whole adding stuff I didn't get it. Do whatever you want as actions as long as you mention the (Triggering Unit) instead of (Attacking Unit) after waits.
Crap now Im hitting a problem with floating text...
Currently its...
Unit - Unit is attacked
(Unit Type of (Attacked Unit)) = Iron Deposit (Unit Type of (Attacking Unit)) = Iron Ore
Set IronOre[(Player number of (Owner of Attacking unit)))] = (Iron Ore[(Player number of (Owner of (Attacking unit)))] +5
Floating Text - Create Floating Text that reads +5 at (Position of (Attacking Unit)) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00. color (50.00%, 50.00%, 50.00%), and 0.00% transparency Floating Text - Set the Velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 1.00
There are two problems here... #1 If multiple people are mining ore it defines the *last created floating text* wrong, and will remove only one of the many if they are done at the same time. #2 The Text isn't turning out right, I just want it to live maybe 1 second, but its staying permenently, and since WE doesn't show what the average age of floating text is, I have no clue what to put.
Unfortunately we are having a problem here... Since making multiple floating texts already requires JASS. Thing pretty nasty if you don't know it. So, you can either make a request (though I don't know when I'll have the time to fulfill it). And btw, floating texts are not my speciality... To be honest I never worked with them.
If your still having trouble with multiple ones, then you could make a seperate trigger for each player... Or try playing around with the Change Position and Show/Hide options, so that you can use a variable floating text instead of (last created floating text).
To be honest I never worked with them.
