So you have a ~~question~~ trigger request?

You can post it here!

Hello and Welcome to the Trigger Request Thread (TRT). This thread purpose is only to place trigger request and discuss about them. If you have unrelated questions or need help with triggers, please use OmegasRage thread!

Before posting your request, it's always good to read the so-called FAQ.

What is a FAQ?
The term "FAQ" (when pronounced, it rhymes with "back") is an acronym for Frequently Asked Questions.
How do I install a trigger?
First of all, you need to have Age of Mythology installed. If you have that, then you are half away done. Now you will need to find your way to your AoM installation folder, and open the trigger folder or the trigger2 folder if you pretend to install the new trigger on The Titans (the expansion). With the notepad, open a file called, typetest.xml - at this point, you need to copy the trigger from this page and paste it there. If you requested a condition, then place it under or under if it was an effect you requested.

Notes:
1. Please put the trigger at the end of each list so you can easly remove them and keep the integrity of the typetest file.
2. When copying the trigger from someone, please click the edit image (), and only then copy the respective effect or condition.
3. If this is your 1st trigger you're installing, please backup the original typetest file.
So.. How exactly are new triggers done?
AoM has a built-in engine that can prase XS code. Triggers are programmed and interpreted using this language through a serious of existing functions. Since there are over 600 functions, and only a few are used by the default triggers, this leaves plenty of room for a whole new set of advanced, usefull triggers - but it does have some limitations...
I want to learn triggers, how do I do that?
It takes a quite some time, but if you really wish to learn triggers, I recommend fully understanding XS language before you start making triggers, and for that you need to go here - Master XS. If you want to skip all that, and you want to be able to do only simple triggers, read this guide.
Help! My triggers have stopped working!
Triggers Stop Working Guide. Also using run immediately, linking camera tracks, sound timers and decimals in conditions like Timer and Distance to Unit effect, might cause this. Moreover, typing an invalid name on the Victory Conditions will cause a trigger block. But post these sort of questions in the Great Question thread.

Posting a Request
So you have read the FAQ and want to post a request? Ok, go for it, just be sure to use the following format:

Name - This should be as straightforward as possible.
Description - Always describe the actions that you want the trigger to perform. Please give atleast one example of use.

Remember that not all triggers are possible but I - and anyone who wants to help me -, will try our best.

Enjoy.

Change terrain/forest/water/cliff in area:

Allows you to change terrain/forest/cliff/water in area of map. Currently I have only suceeded ones for singleplayer and got a terrain one to work for the whole map only.

This is extremely advanced so beware. You will also need to know how to mode switch to get some editor comamnds like terrain painting, toggling camera limit to work.

Here is my change terrain on entire map.

   <Effect name="zMake everywhere a terrain type">
      <Param name="t" dispName="new terrain" VarType="string">SnowB</Param>
      <Command>subModeEnter("Simulation", "Editor");</Command>
      <Command>terrainPaint("%t%");</Command>
      <Command>subModeLeave("Simulation", "Editor");</Command>
      <Command>modeEnter("pregame");</Command>
      <Command>modeEnter("Simulation");</Command>
      <Command>subModeEnter("Simulation", "Singleplayer");</Command>
   </Effect>

NOTE:Currently nobody I know knows about this mode switching in triggers to make certain commands work.

This is the command: <Command>terrainPaint("%t%");</Command>The rest is the mode switching - don't change any of it or it may crash/not work online!

I was thinking of somthing similar to nottuds transform trigger. Instead of changing the type of unit to another unit FOR EVERY PLAYER, is it possible to make it change for only one player?
Here is an example for why someone might want this other than randomness:
Each player has a wizard (pharoh) and each wizard is best at a certain spell.
So player one's preist projectile change into kronny sfx, while player 2s change into ragnorak sfx,
player 3 is crad blood,
player 4 changes into fire siphon fire and so on.
Makeing it seem like each wizard is more different then the others.
Possible?

Everyone has been asking me this and it is IMPOSSIBLE. However, I made a guide that can help get round the problem but is not perfect:

http://aom.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=13,25003,,all

Do not worry - the population flickering does NOT affect anything except that you may see your population meter flicker to a really high number. (I made an escape with this trick to have towers fire diff thing for each player and it worked fine)

Is there any way to tell if custom triggers will/won't be compatible with vanilla?

Has anyone made a condition: invoked god power for vanilla?

I hope your good at kbcommands

EFFECT:
Create unit at Army
Pretty simple, creates a unit at an army.

CONDITION:
Units surrounding Army (or units in area around army)
Just like units in area, but the center unit is an army - that moves.

I Hope this keeps you busy for a little while

Here are a Few Triggers I request for RPG:

Army deploy near Army
-> Deploying Army near an Army

Army teleport to Army
-> Teleport Army to Army

and other Army to Army (ex: Army move to Army)

Change Player Name
-> Change the Player Name (Perfect use for RPG, so we can have our name on the Character)(Displaying a Dialog box to fill the name)

Quoted from Steak And Khan:
Create unit at Army
Pretty simple, creates a unit at an army.

Pretty simple indeed. However, the malfunction of one comand, the lack of updated information from another and also the non-existence of 1 command makes it almost impossible.
I can't reach Army location & position values. =/
So ToreNou021, I can't do your triggers either. Sorry.

Quoted from Steak And Khan:
Units surrounding Army

<Condition name="Units surrounding Army">
 <Param name="u" dispName="$$22295$$Source Units" VarType="unit">default</Param>
 <Param name="army" dispName="$$22348$$Army" VarType="group">default</Param>
 <Param name="R" dispName="Radius" varType="long">10</Param>
 <Command>int d = %R%;int c = 0; trArmySelect("%army%");</Command>
 <Command loop="" loopParm="u">if(d>trUnitDistanceToPoint(xsVectorGetX(kbGetBlockPositio n(""+%u%)),0,xsVectorGetZ(kbGetBlockPosition(""+%u%)))) c++;</Command>
 <Expression>c > 0</Expression>
</Condition>

Not as simple as it might look.
You can select as many units as you like!

Quoted from Keron Cyst:
By the looks of this thread invent00r just took the code out of Yeebaagooon's Question Thread

What? No no no.
I only might have used a similar thread name + stricked out 'question' in the 1st message that Yeebaagoon's Thread has + linked to the Question Thread + took 1 FAQ from there + used 4 hr.
Other than that, it was all me.

Create Unit at Army

About the 10th time I've heard this asked. Won't go into details (already posted several times the exact triggers :P ) but it's do-able using a combination of the Advanced Triggers Set.

Basically you grab a unit from the army and save its ID to a QV (usually use the unit at index 0 so you do not select a non-existing unit). Then use that ID for any of the At/Near Unit effects.

I might go and look for my old post, but I'm glad to see that alot of new people have taken to learning kb commands.

I think this should be pretty easy to figure out from here.

More AoM/E3 Stuff: Fort Wars Ladder, Castle Blood Ladder, Advanced Triggers Set
