It's in post 2352. still on this page in fact! I figured it was farther back. Use that to set the qv string, and then put trStringQuestVarGet("qv string name") in your change name effect.

Hehe, for the QV Vector triggers, Tl required, what does the round param do? and for qv vector modify, its like this,

Rounds the values to the nearest integer. Actually, it probably just truncates it, so it rounds down to the lower integer.

Im not sure what it is supposed to do. I just want a qv vector modify where like qv vector set, I can pick another point on the map, and it changes the qv vector to that point.

Maybe you mean "Quest Var Vector Set"
Also stuff like Unit Position to QV Vector, and Army Position to QV Vector, if you want to use a unit location instead of just clicking on the map.

And also, what can the qv vectors store? Can they have more than one point?

A QV vector is 3 numbers, which can represent 1 location on a map (x,y,z). If you want 2 points, you need 2 QV vectors.

What does qv vector modify two do, by adding the vector of another to it?

If your QV Vector is (50,0,25), and you add (10,10,10) to it, it will be (60,10,35) which is a new location (northeast, and up from previous point).

If you haven't rotated the camera, X is along the bottom edge towards the right side. Z is along the bottom edge towards the left side. Y is up. (0,0,0) is the bottom corner. I think. Unless I got X and Z mixed up, but I think that's right.

What would qqv vector echo show in the chats?

3 numbers, like this: (-1,-1,1).

FOr quest strings, if I want to basically modify the quest string, changing the text in it ot something else, could I just use quest string set with the same name and different text to accomplish that?

Quest string Set will just replace the whole thing, like Quest Var Set. You can use Quest String Add suffix or Add prefix to change it by tagging things on the beginning and the end, if you want.

For the Units in UDA w units instead of points, i can probably do that (and finish the circle one) later, but haven't done them yet.

Thanks for the answers hail, and the trigger, perp. Yeah I would like to have cinematic blocks for the UDA condition, would be better for my needs. But in that condition, I dont get, what are these for?

         <Param name="Op" dispName="$$22297$$Operator" VarType="operator">==</Param>
         <Param name="Count" dispName="$$22304$$Count" VarType="float">1</Param>

Wouldn't I just need the units, the defined area, then if that shows as true the effects would fire? I dont know what those last two parameters mean.

If you select multiple source units, it counts how many are in the area, and compares it to Count using the Operator of your choice.

If you're only using 1 unit just leave it at >= 1

oh so kinda like using the OR/AND buttons with multiple conditions, cept it narrowed it down into one trigger?

Hey guys, can someone please post the trigger where you can change a units name by whatever 'player one' for example typed in.
Your prompted to choose a name for your character
You type 'john'
Your units name changes to 'john'.
I could not find it.

Be aware that you need to use the Trigger Loader for this to work. Also, this doesn't actually change a unit's name, it saves what's typed in chat after the tag to a QV string. You can then use the QV string in the Change Name effect by putting in "+trStringQuestVarGet("QVStringName")+" into the name field.

@ n00b
excuse my noobishness, but trigger loader?
And would it be better just to have the player select from a group of names?

Daedric, tthe trigger loader is a huge genius invention by Mythic freak and Inventoor, loaded with custom functions to make all new lines of different triggers possible. The link to downlaod it is in the main post. And you can have it select players from the drop down list, but the list only has 0 - 10 normally, and having a float or string parameter allows you to select players 11 and 12

edit: Does this do what I think it does? How would I cause it to work.
uiIncreaseTextureDensity(int keyState)

[This message has been edited by WinstonShnozwick (edited 06-29-2010 @ 08:40 PM).]

uiIncreaseTextureDensity
public void uiIncreaseTextureDensity(int keyState)
Indicates that the increase texture density button has gone up/down.

I never tried it, but generally uiIncreaseTextureDensity(1) should make it start increasing the density of the selected unit, and uiIncreaseTextureDensity(0) should stop increasing it. If it still works (looks like a beta'ish funcion to me) it'd probably only do so in editor mode.

Yea I think the function no longer works now...

It doesn't work why? I can get resource triggers to do positive, but never negative by themselves.

   <Param dispName="Player" name="PlayerID" varType="player">1</Param>

Also I am requesting this trigger ~ Khan

Do you mean you can't put in a negative number in the normal Grant Resources effect to subtract resources? Weird, I use that a lot for shops.

You could just use 3 effects and do QV Copy, QV Modify (* -1), QV Grant Resources.

Anyway, this effect (untested but should work) will multiply the QV value by -1 so if the QV value is positive it will subtract resources and if it's negative it should add resources.

   <Effect name="QV Grant Resource Reverse">
      <Param name="PlayerID" dispName="Player" varType="string">1</Param>
      <Param name="ResName" dispName="Resource" varType="resource">food</Param>
      <Param name="QV1" dispName="QV1" VarType="string">QV1</Param>
      <Command>trPlayerGrantResources(%PlayerID%, "%ResName%", -1*trQuestVarGet("%QV1%"));</Command>
   </Effect>

Yeah I could subtract resources away if I put in a QV with a pre-set negative number... but not by any other way Thanks for the trigger ~ Khan

If you ever have trouble doing a subtraction operation try putting the whole thing in parantheses.
I've had the problem come up a few times when trying to do math operations for a send chat

In the message box I put

"+1*trQuestVarGet("QV1") - 1*trQuestVarGet("QV2")+"

which looks like it should work, but it is misleading because that whole thing is being tucked inside a string. The + sign is for string concatenation, not addition, and it has no idea what to do with the minus sign, so it trigger locks.
"+(1*trQuestVarGet("QV1") - 1*trQuestVarGet("QV2"))+"
When doing it like this, it recognizes the minus sign as a mathematical operator and it works.

It's a different issue because mine is related to string concatenation and yours isn't (plus it was in parantheses anyway), but maybe it'll be a useful tip at some point.

I don't see why your trigger didn't work Khan. Was it a trigger lock, or just not granting the right amount of resources? The only explanation I can think of is AOM rebelling against oddly named QVs.

[This message has been edited by HailToTheOboe (edited 07-02-2010 @ 09:23 AM).]

it worked for positive numbers... I've been battling with it all day to figure out why is doesn't work. Originally I had this trigger:

   <Effect name="QV Grant Resources Pro">
   <Param dispName="$$22301$$Player" name="PlayerID" varType="player">0</Param>
   <Param dispName="$$22455$$Resource" name="ResName" varType="resource">food</Param>
   <Param name="QV1" dispName="QV1" VarType="string">QV1</Param>
   <Param name="Oper1" dispName="Operator" VarType="string">+</Param>
   <Param name="QV2" dispName="QV2" VarType="string">QV2</Param>
   <Param name="Oper1" dispName="Operator" VarType="string">+</Param>
   <Param name="QV3" dispName="QV3" VarType="string">QV3</Param>
   <Command>trQuestVarSet("ArbleGarble", (trQuestVarGet("%QV1%") %Oper1% trQuestVarGet("%QV2%") %Oper2% trQuestVarGet("%QV3%")));</Command>
   <Command>trPlayerGrantResources(%PlayerID%, "%ResName%", 1*trQuestVarGet("ArbleGarble"));</Command>
   </Effect>

Which works but has the same issues as the first one I uploaded. I made this trigger specifically so that it could be used by a negative number. However I only tested it using positive QVs thinking that if it worked with positives it would work with negative, silly me.
In the map I made this trigger for I had QV1 and QV3 set to 0 and QV2 set to 50 the first operator was a - and the second a +. Does absolutley nothing (no trigger lock though), but if both the operators were '+' then it would add fine. Interestingly though, when tested later on a test map, QV1 was 25, QV2 was 50 and QV3 was 0. Operators where both '-'. The trigger actually added 25 Food. Weird, I checked it something like 4 times to make sure that everything was as said above.

Actually, in writing it down, it looks as if it just grants the first QV and doesn't bother with the rest. Doesn't explain why it does addition fine though... Oh well. I give up lol ~ Khan

Well, that one does trigger lock, because you have two parameters named Oper1 . If you rename the second one to Oper2 it does not trigger lock, and it worked with subtraction for me (Qvs 0, 5, 0 and operators -, +)

Maybe tt is just useless

Some things that may need changing depending on how you use it:

Stop must be within one revolution (less than 360 degrees). If you are going counterclockwise, put a negative number.

When it stops, the entire trigger gets disabled, not just stopping this one circle. Is this going to be a problem? I did it this way so you can just fire event again to start up with no other trouble.

If you stop it then restart it, continues where it left off. This means the fired event can fire the circle trigger again and it'll keep looping and firing an event at a certain point on the circle (like a clock!) Should it reset to zero instead? If you put a QV in for the stop point, you can change it every time.

Hope this works for you.

If I choose not to stop, when would the event fire, if at all? And the angle thing is all good, but what If I want whatever I am transporting go go around in a few circles THEN stop. Which would be past 360 degrees.

Hey guys.

Is it possible to set a unit's stance with triggers?

Easily. There is one in the game I believe.

Woohoo, time to scroll through that trigger list, then.

Can someone post the effect 'camera cut at unit/object'. So I can get the camera to follow my main character. simply camera cut isnt working for me (even on loop).

EDIT: Why isnt this trrigger working! It is essential for my project, and I cant figure out why..

Effect name="Change Name For All Protounits"
All my oither added triggers work, why not this one, ive recopied it into my typetest.xml SOOO many times. It does not work! Help?

EDIT2: Ive worked on 'change name in area'and centered a unit id, but I can do that if no body knows , its jsut that trigger will be much easier if it just worked, it'll be a pain searching up all the unitsd id's that I need ti properly change all units name.

The change name trigger in the Question thread works for me Daedric. If it really doesn't work at all for you, you can use v triggers.
v 1 tpq start
v Change Name
v 2 tpq end

If I choose not to stop, when would the event fire, if at all? And the angle thing is all good, but what If I want whatever I am transporting go go around in a few circles THEN stop. Which would be past 360 degrees.

If you choose not to stop, the event would not fire. If you want to keep going you can make the fired event fire the circle trigger again and it'll keep looping and firing an event at a certain point on the circle
I'll add something to let you go more than 360 degrees.
hm this is tricky to make it work for both directions of rotation.

ok I got it. Here goes nothing.

Now you can put in stop conditions above 360, but not below zero.
If you are going counterclockwise (negative step size) your stop condition should still be a positive number, just convert it to a positive angle by adding 360 for each revolution, -90 = 270. -450 = 630, etc
