@lost...or anyone who may know how to do this

how do i use the mp army deploy to deploy a random players army from player 1 - 8

right now i have it set up like this

trigger
[x]active
[_]loop
[_]run imm

cond
always

effect
mp randomized setup start (times run = 1)(player 1-8)(reset = off)
mp vas army deploy TL(x8)for each player)
mp send spoof chat
mp setup end

and as i expected, it deployed all 8 players units but the send spoof chat said player 7 got the unit

what do i do to make it so only 1 players units deploys?

EDIT:Ok nvm the above question...i figured out what i was doing wrong....but now i have another problem

ok being that i got the above question to work....how do i stop it from deploying units belonging to players that are already defeated?

EDIT 2:Lmao, ok these triggers are actually quite simple to figure out....so now i figured out my 2nd question....and now another problem arises.....if a player is already defeated, that players unit wont deploy....but now for some reason, no unit will deploy at the time its suppose to deploy...and i assume the reason is the unit wants to deploy for that defeated player but sense the player is already defeated, it wont deploy, therefore, no unit will be deployed at all....so pretty much if theres 8 players playing, 5 of those players are defeated, leaving 3 players left alive, it would just be pure luck that the trigger manages deploy the unit for one of the alive players.

so the question i have is, how do i make it NOT based on luck? how do i make it so that every time the trigger activates, it WILL ALWAYS deploy a unit for one of the alive players?

right now my setup is:

trigger
[x]active
[x]loop
[_]run imm
high prio

cond
timer = 20

effect
mp randomized setup start (times run = 1)(player 1-8)(reset = on)
mp vas multi armies setup TL (x3)for the 8 player)
mp cond player active
mp vas army deploy TL
mp send spoof chat
mp cond zend
mp setup end

These triggers look like they could be used to create some unique effects in RPG's or really useful to make a puzzle.

the only way I could probably imagin that is if you could disable players from the randomisation after they are set defeated, so maby a MP QV Conditional is NOT MP Player where you can turn the effect on or off with a quest variable; so if a player resighned or is defeated you can set a quest var to fire event that effect. But that effect doesn't exist right now and sss94 might figure out a better way to do it.

so i would need to make a separate trigger? or put it in the same army deploy trigger?

and what exactly would the trigger setup look like?

cause from the looks of it, i would need an 'mp set player as not mp' ....or does the player automatically become 'not mp' when defeated?

Uh sorry Joka (Thanks to consider MP Triggers BTW ) and EXOLAR, I'm really busy now, I will have a look at your request/problems later on.

EDIT: just answering this simple question:

so the question i have is, how do i make it NOT based on luck? how do i make it so that every time the trigger activates, it WILL ALWAYS deploy a unit for one of the alive players?

Just create all the Army Setups and then use the normal setup instead of the randomized one
It should be like:

MP vAS Multiple Armies Setup (Player 1, PlrArmy1, Player 2, PlrArmy2, Player 3, PlrArmy3)
MP vAS Multiple Armies Setup (Player 4, PlrArmy4, Player 5, PlrArmy5, Player 6, PlrArmy6)
MP vAS Multiple Armies Setup (Player 7, PlrArmy7, Player 8, PlrArmy8, --------)
MP Setup Start
MP vAS Army Deploy
MP Setup End

is that going to randomly choose an army to deploy?

Edit: ok that setup doesnt work....it just deploys every players army.....i only want ONE random players army to be deployed o_O

if i cant get this done with mp triggers ill have to do it the normal way.....and thats gonna require me to make 3 triggers for each players (24 triggers total) ... and theres also several other random events that will require me to use this method (24 x 3-4 = 72-96 triggers)

ughhh, please figure out a way lost lol

lol what you do wrong is this:

mp vas army deploy TL(x8)for each player)


You need to do it once

MP Randomized Setup Start (1 time, Player 1--->8)
MP vAS Army Deploy (This basically choose from one of the 8 armies you need to set before)
MP Setup End

i know, thats what i did before...i figured that out

the problem im having is that even tho a player is defeated, it will still try to deploy for that defeated player.....i want the trigger to ignore defeated players and only deploy for the players that are alive

is this possible? if it isnt than ill get started on my vast amount of normal triggers

@Joka: About that "ignore defeated players" is it for random thing (that run one time) or not?

yea its kinda for the random thing

cause the random deploys units for defeated players, which i dont want

If you use this setup:

MP Randomized Setup Start
MP Conditional Player NOT Defeated (This condition was not included, you need to redownload the pack)
MP vAS Army Deploy
MP Conditional zEND
MP Setup End

If the player is defeated, though, this setup won't deploy the army to anyone, if you want it to be deployed anyway, please tell me and I'll find an other way

ok right now i have setup like this:

trigg all
cond = timer 5
eff = fire random event = trigg player 1a, trigg player 2a, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
trigg player 1a
cond = always
eff = fire event (x2) = fires trigg player 1b and trigg player 1c

trigg player 1b
cond = player active = player 1
eff = deploy unit, disable trigger = trigg all, player 1a-1b-1c, player 2a-2b-2c, etc.

trigg player 1c
cond = player NOT active = player
eff = fire event = trigg all

see how that setup is? it will deploy a unit for a random active player...if the it tries to deploy a unit for a player thats NOT active than that trigger will fire the random event over and over again until it finds an active player

so thats how i want the setup to be. if its possible for you to do it like this with the mp triggers, that would be awesome

Yes it is completely possible... now that I updated the pack with "Loop While"

So first of all redownload it, then you'll see the effect "Loop While" (It's not really an MP trigger, although it's really useful)

It does the effect between it and "End If/Loop" (which you should have, if you don't use a Conditional zEND, it does the same function but it's a bit uglier) WHILE the QV you select is ==,>=,<=,>,< to the value you put.

So the following setup should work:

Loop While {QV, ==0}
MP Randomized Setup Start
MP Conditional Player NOT Defeated
MP vAS Army Deploy
Quest Var Set {QV, 1}
MP Conditional zEND
MP Setup End
End If/Loop (or conditional zEND)

As you can see, the loop will stop only when it find a not defeated player ;)
