Well I see often topics with question about trigger tricks. And not only from newbies but from people who staying at aokh a while now. So I decided to make a Trigger trick guide with the newest tricks.

FunTrigger: Werewolf Trick by Quetzelcoatl

note: potion is the same as the heal trick

Simple heal trick

Trigger 0
Starting: no
Loop: no
Condition 0: Timer?
Effect 0: Damage object -10*

* Instead of damaging the object with a normal number (example: 10) you use the - for the damage numbers. Getting the - in the damage screen have to be done bye typing the - in a display instructions screen then select it with the mouse. Right click-> copy. Then go the the damage object effect and set the cursor at the place where you fill in the damage numbers. Right mouse button -> paste. Now if you did it right a - will apear. For healing a person use this trick so you will get -10 (10 is the hp you want to heal). The selected object will gain 10 HP instead of losing it.

Advanced heal trick

Trigger 0:
Starting: off
Loop: off
Condition 0: Timer?
effect 0: Damage object (full amout of hp the "hero" has so if the hero has 300 HP you damage the hero with 300)
Effect 1: Damage object. (Instead of just typing 300 type -300 the character will gain health again).

In the first trigger option your "hero" can have this kind of HP 90/80. In the second trigger trick the maximum hp is always there so always it will be 80/80 or 150/150 the 2 numbers will always be equal to eachother.

This trick is a combination of an AI and Triggers. It works very well and is usefull in RPG games.

Taunt Based AI

AI script. Make a txt file and place this in the txt file then save it as and .per file. Then make another txt file and give it the same name as the .per (like sound.per = sound.ai) and rename it as .ai then place it in the AI map that is located in the aok root

(defrule
(taunt-detected 1* 100**)
=>
(acknowledge-taunt 1*** 100)
(cc-add-resource gold 50****)
)

* = The player that sends the taunt in this case player 1
** = The taunt number (the number you have to type in the chat box)
*** = The player it has to confirm it. (same as above)
**** = The Amount of gold, food, wood, stone. Rename the gold and reset the amount to your liking.

Important: Make an civ that is called the dummy civ. Give it the song AI but make sure they don't get villagers.

Taunt based Triggers:

Trigger 0:
Loop = yes
Starting state: on/off
Condition 0: Accumulate resource : The Ai player : The resource : The amount
- (not needed)Condition 1: What ever you want example = object in area
Effect 0: Tribute The amount, from AI player to gaia
Effect 1: What is have to happen after you have given the taunt.

for each new taunt you have to make a new trigger

Using wallets in your RPG can make it more realistic. In the example the max amount of gold in the wallet is 200. And is carried by you (player 1)

Trigger 0:
Loop: yes
Condition 0: Accumulate resource : 201 gold
Effect 0: Tribute: player 1 to gaia - amount: 1 gold
Effect 1: Activate trigger 1

Trigger 1:
Loop: no
Starting state: off
Condition 0: Timer 15 VERY IMPORTANT
Effect 0: Display instructions/chat message = Your wallet is full

Note: when you loop the trigger like you have to do you can better remove the display instruction button but use an extra trigger like above

In a rpg you can make a side quest by getting a bigger wallet so you can buy new things.

Making a Item list is always a nice thing to do in an RPG.

Trigger 0:
Displayer Objectieve = Yes
Objectieve message = Objectieves
Objectieve String = 100
Starting state: on
Loop: off
Condition 0: Something that is impossible to do in the game

Trigger 1:
Displayer Objectieve = Yes
Objectieve message = Items
Objectieve String = 85
Starting state: on
Loop: off
Condition 0: Something that is impossible to do in the game

Trigger 2:
Displayer Objectieve = Yes
Objectieve message = Weapons & shields
Objectieve String = 40
Starting state: on
Loop: off
Condition 0: Something that is impossible to do in the game

etc etc etc... Go on as long as you want. Keep lowering the String.

Now if the game will start you will see this list in the scn objectieves:

Objectives

Items

Weapons & Shields

Everythime you want to add a new wappon you have to make sure you type in the Objectieve string a number under the < 40. For each Item between 41 and 84 and Objectieves between 86 and 99.

Lower the attack of units

Trigger 0:
Effect 0: Change Attack: -10

The attack will be reduced by 10. You can use a nice spell with that.
Note: To get the - in the number box type it in a Display Instruction box then select it and right mouse click>copy/cut the go the the effect. Rightmouse click>paste. Then NEVER look at the effect again.

Using Teleport can be done in many ways a simple way but also a complex way like the Teleport spell (teleport + taunt based system)

Simple teleport with set teleport area's. Like between 4 flags or torches.

Simple

Trigger 0:
Condition 0: Object in area/Own objects in area
Effect 0: ChangeOwnership Player ? to Player 1
Effect 1: ChangeOwnership Player 1 to Player ? (this is the unit that is in the area)
Effect 2: Display Instruction - You used the teleport

Complex

AI Script

Player 2 is the Taunt AI player

Trigger 0:
Condition 0: Accumulate resource: gold 50
Effect 0: Tribute: gold 50 player 2 to gaia
Effect 1: Change ownership player ? to player 1
Effect 2: Change ownership player 1 to player ?
Effect 3: Display Instruction: You just teleported to the city

Trigger 1:
Condition 0: Accumulate resource: Food 50
Effect 0: Tribute: gold 50 player 2 to gaia
Effect 1: Change ownership player ? to player 1
Effect 2: Change ownership player 1 to player ?
Effect 3: Display Instruction: You just teleported to the Village

Trigger 2:
Condition 0: Accumulate resource: Stone 50
Effect 0: Tribute: gold 50 player 2 to gaia
Effect 1: Change ownership player ? to player 1
Effect 2: Change ownership player 1 to player ?
Effect 3: Display Instruction: You just teleported to the Forest

Make sure that you only can access those places with teleport. So the teleport unit can not be removed from that area. You will have different places to look and play for an extra demension in the game.

Telephone is just a Taunt based trick. Only it is kinda fun for campaign's that is not in the medieval (telephone) or use it as an Telepatic way of talking (oeeeh scary).

Well that was it. It is fun if you want to make a GTA / aok game. you can use the telephone and police etc etc. Choose what you want to do being the police or mob your choise!

Telepatic

Telepatic trick is the same as the above tricks only instead of really "calling" you can talk to people for advice of something. So not a phonecall with a machine but with your mind. nice idea... will lower the bill

Trigger 0~ LOOPING, ON.
Condition: timer; small ammount
Effect 0: tribute small ammount of food to gaia
Effect 1: (optional) display instructions: you ate X ammount of food.

-this is the food "eater"

Trigger 1~ LOOPING, ON.
Condition: Accumulate attribute; ONE food (player one)
Effect: kill object; in area "B"

-the player designated in the above trigger must correspond with the player designated in the next trigger. (The player killed/ created & tasked)

Trigger 2~ LOOPING, ON.
Condition: timer; one/two seconds
Effetc: create object; (anything, not player one)
Effect: task object; from creation tile, straight over point "B" to point "C"

-this trigger sends people repeatedly from point "A" to point "C", but as long as player one has food, they'll die at point "B". The next trigger deals with what happens when player one has zero food...

Trigger 3~ ON.
Condition: object in area "C"; (the object created in trigger 2 and usually killed in trigger 1)
Effect: Activate trigger 4.
Effect: Display instructions: "we're out of food"

-this trigger, starting on, is waiting for the moment you run out of food, and those dudes are able to cross point "B" to point "C". Then, when you're out of food, you activate the next trigger...

Trigger 4~ OFF.
Condition: timer; as much time you think the player wants to have, before he starves or whatever you want to do with him. Some people like to give a little "grace period" where the player might be able to acquire some more food, to save the day or whatever you want. What matters is that the effect is basically starvation...
Effect: Display instructions: You starved to death!
Effect: Declare victory; enemy.

- This trick is subject to varyation depending on the designer's desire. You might be eating three meals a day, or slowly munching all the time. Other things vary, too.

Allright, I've devised a new spell system to put in my scenario. I would be thankfull if you tell me whether you like this system or just clicking on pavillions better so I can get a fairly broad idea of what people want.
If you fail to understand this, I have it in scenario format as well.

The idea is that spell one costs 100 mana, spell two costs 150 mana, and spell three costs 200 mana. More spells can, of course, be added.

Although I use game speed slow and ten seconds to activate, you need to modify your times to fit the situation.

Fill in Display Instructions "Spell One" "Spell Two" "Spell Three" with the actual spells.

Here's a simple thing where you can return to someone you already talked to, but this time change your mind and choose the other option...

Trigger 0 "go fishing one~ ON.

Condition: Object selected/ bring object to object.
Effect: Display: "Hey, what's up? Wanna go fishing?
Effect: Display: -select the __X__ to go fishing.
Effect: Display: -select the __Y__ to not go fishing.
Effect: Activate trigger "go fishing"
Effect" Activate trigger "don't go"

Trigger 1 "go fishing"
Condition: Object selected- __X__
Effect: DEACTIVATE trigger 2 "don't go fishing"
Effect: DEACTIVATE trigger 4 "still say no"
Effect: Display: okay, let's go! follow me... (end of sequence)

Trigger 2 "don't go fishing"
Condition: Object selected- __Y__
Effect: DEACTIVATE trigger "go fishing"
Effect: Display: sorry, I don't want to go fishing... (NOT end of sequence)
Effect: Activate trigger "if player returns"
Effect: DEACTIVATE trigger 0 "go fishing one"

** It is important that the object __Y__ NOT be the object that you're "talking to, otherwise you'll have a quick loop, and as soon as you say no, he'll ask you instantly again...

Trigger 3 "if player returns"
Condition: Object selected/ bring object to object
Effect: Display: are you sure you don't want to go fishing?
Effect: Display: -select __X__ to change your mind and go fishing.
Effect: Display: -select __Y__ if you still don't want to go fishing.
Effect: Activate trigger 1 "go fishing"
Effect: Activate trigger 4 "still say no"

Trigger 4 "still say no"
Condition: Object selected __Y__
Effect: Display: no I'm sure I don't want to go fishing.
Effect: DEACTIVATE trigger 1 "go fishing"
Effect: Activate trigger: 3 "if player returns"

As always, use your common sense and space multiple display instructions across your 0-1-2 slots. And with this one, you can use the "read at your own pace" thing, if you thrown in the propper "clear instructions" if they are needed; they tend to catch you if you have one trigger with the 0, 1, and 2 slots full, and then you go to a trig with only the 0 and 1 slots full... You have the 2 slot full untill it's filled again.

Using signs to make more effect in your RPG games. By clicking on a sign your character "reads" the sign. This is already a old trick but is a good addon to your scenario.

Trigger 0:
Starting state: on/off
Looping: yes/no (*)
Condition 0: Object selected (**)
Condition 1: Timer (***)
Effect 0: Display Instructions (****)

* = If you want to keep the sign readable the whole game then set the loop on YES if not set it on NO.
** = Select the sign that should carry the message on it when the character "reads" it
*** = When you loop the trigger you should add a timer so it doesn't keep giving the sound of new message
**** = Place here your message that you want to have on the sign.

This is a really crazy trick founded out by Phillip. I don't know or he published it but I didn't find it. So I started trying at my own and found out how he did it. Do it like this in 1 trigger and you will have a walking unit with 0 hp

Trigger 0:
Starting state: on/off
Looping: off
Effect0: Change object HP (- his HP)
Effect1: Damage object (-his HP)
Effect2: Change object HP (his normal HP)
Effect3: Damage object (his normal HP)

Example:
As example we take a Champion this unit has 70 HP

Trigger 0:
Looping: off
Effect0: Change object HP -70
Effect1: Damage object -70
Effect2: Change object HP 70
Effect3: Damage object 70

You fill in the number behind the effect in the damage & HP blok. So you will place -70!! when said.
And what will happen?
This will happen:

And the unit is still able to walk around the map

Well as you all know the TIME was a essent thing in this campaign. (only for people that know about the old post I made)
I know there was a time system made before and I checked it but it was SO buggy that it just stopped at a couple times. Well it stoped on my computer. So I remade it and you here go.

Legenda

Timer -X = The time you want to set be sure you remember the time settings very carefully because if you use it all the events are based on this time. Be sure you time out every movement. You can change the time flow at night to a faster time system (I did that with Zelda)

Send Chat = Why Send chat? That is pretty simple because Send Chat is better. Instead in talk screen you get it in chat screen it looks better and can go on all the time without really bugging.

Loop: no = If you look the trigger the game will just crash. No way around that so make sure the loop if OFF. At the last trigger (23) you will just activate trigger 0 again. And the loop makes hisself. This will go endless because the condition is a timer.

TriggerX: X am/pm = while working whit this system I strongly advice you to rename you triggers! to the hours of the clock. It is the best way to have better control over it.

As you maybe where wondering why I activate 2 triggers at the same time. The second effect is made for the Time based events. I will fall back on the time system (above) for most of the coming effects.

Well if you didn't get desprate yet then we can continue with the time based event triggers. Don;t worry there are even more triggers here so take a relax pil and continue. And I see I forgot the trigger 24 but just read over that.

Legenda

Activation = This trigger ofcourse can be left out for example nothing happens at 12 am so you leave the Activation of 12 am out. I personally used every hour. Mostly just for different kind of chats every hour.

Effect Activation = These Effects depend on how many things you want to activate. If you want to activate 23 things at 12 am then use 23 activation triggers. Make sure you also activate a DEACTIVATE trigger in the time system (above). So if you want to activate something at 12 pm and deactivate it again at 6 am make sure you deactivate the trigger in the Activation trigger of 6 am (see example below).

Example Trigger = In this triggers the villager says YEAH instead of BOEH. and when the clock strikes 6 am he says BOEH again

EXAMPLE TRIGGERs:

Starting state: off
Loop: no
Trigger 49: Say yeah instead of boeh!
Conditions 0: Object Selected - Villager
Effect 1: Display Instructions - YEAH

Starting state: off
Loop: no
Trigger 50: Say BOEH! instead of yeah
Conditions 0: Object Selected - Villager
Effect 1: Display Instructions - BOEH!

That villager says example can be used on everything! I mean you can make special effects like opening shops, closing shops draw bridges, lower bridges, Opening gates and way more. All based on the time. When the person arives to late the event has stoped and has to wait another day to do it right. Of course you can make side quest with this and when the side quest is finished you make sure the sidequest stay disabled after completing. Deactive the triggers and make a new starting state of that hour. I solved this problem by make 3 activation triggers for each important hour (6 different important hours) for each sidequest or quest you complete activated another activation trigger of that hour. It means you have to make a dubble Time System. It maybe takes a lot of effort but you have something unqiue.

The effects I used where more based on time jumping. Like jumping from night to day and day to night. This is pretty simple just make sure you make an extra effect in the time system. Like I will show u in this example below you will notice that the timesystem trigger is edited to complete the time jump. You can ofcourse use other tricks like Time stop (I used this trick in temples). Or time count down. Only 5 hours to get to a place by activation the sesion. This also means you have to make a dubble time system. Or you make a dubble time system that allows you to change the the hour system on base of effects.

Effect 10: Deactivate all the things you activated in the meanwhile.

Starting state: on
Loop: no
Trigger 53: Activate new time
Effect 0: Activate 10 pm

Conslusion is that the time jumps to 10 pm and all the things that should happen in the mean while will not happen. all the things are that should happen change and the night effects will appear. The same thing you can do with from night to day just turn the triggers the otherway around.

Stop time

This is simply a matter of deactivation and activation. Make sure that if the person enters a no time zone you have triggers running that are made for each hour. Because I am pretty lazy somethimes I made the no time zones locked and only able to access it in 3 hours that means only 3 triggers. In the example I am only using 1 hour for him able to activate.

Timebased system:

Starting state: off
Loop: no
Trigger 26: Activation 1 pm
Effect 0: Activation 54
Effect 1: Activate trigger ???
Effect 2: Activate Trigger ???

Stop time:

Starting state: off
loop: no
Trigger 54: Time is 1pm
Condition 1: Objectieve in area - villager
Effect 0: Deactivate trigger 1 - 1 pm
Effect 1: Deactivate trigger 2 - 2 pm
Effect 2: Activate trigger 57

Starting state: off
loop: no
Trigger 55: Time is 2pm
Condition 1: Objectieve in area - villager
Effect 0: Deactivate trigger 2 - 2 pm
Effect 1: Deactivate trigger 3 - 3 pm
Effect 2: Activate trigger 57

Starting state: off
loop: no
Trigger 56: Time is 3pm
Condition 1: Objectieve in area - villager
Effect 0: Deactivate trigger 3 - 3 pm
Effect 1: Deactivate trigger 4 - 4 pm
Effect 2: Activate trigger 57

Starting state: off
loop: no
Trigger 57: Whatever you can do in this no time zone
Effect 0: Activation triggers here

Starting State: off
Loop: no
Trigger 58: Go back to time 1 pm
Condition 0: Objectieve in area - area outside no time zone
Effect 0: Activate trigger 2 pm

Starting State: off
Loop: no
Trigger 59: Go back to time 2 pm
Condition 0: Objectieve in area - area outside no time zone
Effect 0: Activate trigger 3 pm

Starting State: off
Loop: no
Trigger 60: Go back to time 3 pm
Condition 0: Objectieve in area - area outside no time zone
Effect 0: Activate trigger 4 pm

This way the time looks like it stopped. It goes further when you go out of the time zone again. Make sure if you want to keep it simple you close the timezone at normal times and only open it for 1 to 3 hours (best).

Effect= create object =villager (male)*
Effect= display instructions= i am the werewolf man ;timer=10

*=player 1- this needs to be player one or else u cant move him to the area where he changes

the area would be good in front of a building door to make
it look like the unit walked in, changed and walked out.
the text could be easily changed
