What do you mean the 'int' parts? You need to declare those things as integers, otherwise it won't work... I don't fully understand what you mean lol.. Though I agree that it would be nice if you want to use AND/OR. What could be interfering with that?

*looks around eagerly for HTTO to intervene lol*

well im not good at explaining this one. Ask hail, sorry, but yeah, youll understand. The int thing makes it a one time deal only,. You need a for loop to make it able to go multiple in a trigger. Hail fixed that for me a way back in the trigger thread, check back a few pages there.

Alright I'll browse through the trigger request thread and see if I can find what you're talking about. Otherwise Hail should get on some time..

I can see how re-calling the same integer would make it cease to work. If you ever call something more then once scripting always breaks so that makes logical sense lol

So if I set it to float you can turn it to all players? I didn't even know this haha

@Winston - Here's the fixed version. I found what you mean and fixed all the integers. To be honest I was scratching my head wondering why on earth all those triggers had that 'pointless' loop in it. lol now I know


Also I made another trigger - Query Units Take Pop. What this does is checks how much population a unit type takes. For example, you could see if the unit type AbstractVillager takes over 20 pop (which might be useful, considering atlantean villagers take more pop then the other civs). Basically it's a way of deciding how much pop one specific unit class takes up.

Thanks, Perpetual! Thanks a heap!
Do you know how hard it is to get a real explanation out of anyone? Here at AoMH or otherwise? No one seems to understand that that's all I need.

So now that trigger thing makes sense! Thanks!
See, I'm not used to effects that modify the condition so that it isn't true. I'm used to it being constantly true once it fired the first time, so I always figured that once the condition was true once, the effect just kept firing. I didn't know that it continues to check the condition when it's looped.
I am not used to QV's at all!

Okay, that was stupid. A damage unit on a timer with loop does the same thing, checking the condition before damaging again.

@ Hammerhands
I'm glad I could help.

QVs are just a way of storing numbers and using them in triggers, but without having to explicitly state the number and having the benefit of being able to change it whenever we want.

Using the previous example, we have a QV named XP to keep track of experience gained from killing enemy units and a QV named Level_Cost that tells us how much XP needs to be in order to level up. We can put this in a loop with QV Compare because we can modify the Level_Cost and have infinite levels. If we wanted to do levelling without QVs we could do something like this -

Trigger - Level_02
[X] Active
[_] Loop
[_] Run Immediately
Priority = High

Conditions
Stat Value
Player = 1
Stat = Units Killed Cost
Operator is >=
Value = 1000 (This is the level cost)

Effects
..Level_Up_Stuff..

The problem with this is that you'd have to do a trigger for each level as you have to explicitly state the level cost.

@ ScionOfWar
You can also use VarType="string" for Player and that will let you input players 0 to 12 as well as use QVs with "+ trQuestVarGet("QVName") +"

as well as use QVs with "+ trQuestVarGet("QVName") +"

Wrong Perp, that's inside quotes (like a chat), it is just trQuestVarGet("QVName") in this case

Thanks, lostrozzacavalli (the horse strangler?), that makes sense.

You know, I don't think I've ever actually inputted either "+ trQuestVarGet("QVName") +" or trQuestVarGet("QVName") into a parameter field in the trigger editor. I usually just make myself a QV version of the Effect.

(the horse strangler?)

How... How... Oh shame

thanks scion. The time in the future when I finally start aom again will be so amazing, I have like 10+ new great triggers.

Okay, thanks.

Just posted this in the TRT for Joka, might as well include it in CASTWCRT

Quoted from lostrozzacavalli:

(the horse strangler?)

How... How... Oh shame

I'm right? I had another guess in mind too

strozza -> strangle -> hung
cavalli -> horse

lostrozzacavalli -> hung like a horse

Oh no Perpetual... You were right, that's the shame!

Lol I'm pretty sure I called you "strangle the horse" once, damn I was close. I think I'll stick to Giuseppe.

ahah Hail

BTW don't fire me for the name, it's not as cruel as it could seem, I will explain why I choosed it one time

And no, it isn't because it was hard to translate xD

Ok so, it's time to realease
If it's right for you, for me it would be fine if you all send me your typetest and I add all of them with my one to a new typetest (the name is to be chosen too, CASTWCRT pack.xml doesn't sound really good to me :/), then I send it to you and you say me "ok that's good" or "please modify here and there".
If this way is fine for you, email at scacchisti@gmail.com

If it is not, then discuss

MAIN POST UPDATED!!!!!!

I haven't really made a single trigger that hasn't been done before or better, except for maybe the easy QV Code.
