Hey everyone!

I've seen on some scenarios the usage of the hotkeys as a condition for many purposes, but I can't figure it out how to use it to make spells or special skills.

As an example, I want to use the "A" to heal the selected hero or use the "D" to damage every nearby enemy.

(Sry if my English hurts)

You will need the hotkey trigger files, here.

Depending on your game mode I'd just have hotkey 'a' in game or eathquake mode (remember to turn earthquake mode on) and then have that fire an event that damages the hero by -50.

hi there, i want to suggest a trigger, which will have an effect to change the ai mode of any player, for an example :

Trigger 1

Condition - Player Active - 2

Effect - Set A.i - aimilitaryprogress

thanks in advance

Yeebaagooon already answered your other similar question you made as thread.

Wow! thats some really cool stuffs! i didn't knew that, thanks much!

Dear Age of Mythology fans,

I have been having a trigger request in my mind, on and off, for years. In fact, if this could be done, I would play Age of Mythology all over again!

Unfortunately I never had the time to try doing it seriously since I was a teenager, circa. 2005.

The trigger request is simple: is there any way to update the statistics of a unit when it kills anything?

Basically I would like to set up a unit experience system where units gain stats when they kill other units.

Let's say I have some unit with two attack points, and it kills another unit. How to make a trigger that will give the surviving unit an additional attack point and, say, 5 additional healthpoints?

Note that this should happen when any unit kills any other unit, i. e. even the units which are not already there at the beginning of the game but created later on.

If that would be possible, that would be so great! In modern days, I only play RTS when I can build hero units by micromanaging some units until they survive so many fights that they become OP. Examples of these games are Celtic Kings or Warzone 2100. I just love it when RTS include some XP mechanisms. If I could somehow recreate it in AoM using triggers, that would be so great!

Best regards!

Entirely possible and doesn't even need a new trigger.

Trigger: P1Level
Active, looped, high priority

Condition:


Effects:

Hi,

After some tests, apparently, this is intended to give the player experience and to modify a specific unit type (maybe a hero) as a consequence. This is not what I want. What I want is a generic XP system, that impacts not only a player or a unit type, but all players and all unit types, and only modifies the unit that kills another unit, and not any other unit on the map.

What I want is as follows.
1- a unit kills another unit
2- the surviving unit gains some stat, and ONLY this unit.

The unit is not necessarily here at the beginning of the scenario, and it can be ANY unit, even myth units, from ANY player, including computer players.

How can I do that?

@GLxbit
Unfortunately I am not aware of a way to detect which unit killed another unit. So if players control multiple units you can not determine which one killed the unit. You can however determine which player killed a unit. So if the player only has one unit you can modify use triggers to determine what that unit is and modify it.

I think it is possible however difficult to detect which unit has died and nearby units that belong to the enemy and then buff those units.

Greetings everyone,

I'm relatively new to AoM after nearly 15 years of not having played the game and after a few weeks of playing I decided to get onto the editor mode to make my own scenario!
I've already posted a few days ago (albeit in the wrong place) so I've decided to make it right this time and post here:

Is there a way to apply the {playername(*)} thing to change names on a cinematic?

Essentially I am trying to have a player's name to be displayed as part of dialogue between the players' characters, but it doesn't seem to apply as normally with a Change Name trigger. Instead, it displays {playername(1)} instead of the correct name I want.

It would be much appreciated, thanks

Hi everybody!!

I´ve got a couple questions about three triggers that im not being able to create.
- The First one is about the Sleeping Guardian XP. I created an scenario where Son of Osiris XP starts "Healing" the guardian and the objetive is to avoid it. But im trying to create a trigger that, if the Son of Osiris heals the guardian, it Change Type Unite into Guardian XP (the walking one). But i cannot find the condition that triggers it correctly. I alredy tried with percent complete, percent damage...and they dont work.

- The second one is a general doubt about Timer condition. If i´d wanted to create an event that happens after some event occurs, but not inmediatly...for example: if you kill an army certain building converts to your team, and after a minute it grants you a new tech.

- Third and last one. How could i make an army appear in some point at the map?? Greek campaigns use this a lot, but im not able to find the way to reproduce it. Something like: when A happens, 20 hoplites and 10 toxotes appear in 1 corner of the map.

Thank you in advance!!!

@Peusterokos1: Not possible except for random maps where there is another command available.

@Kikunxinzo:

(1)Percent damaged worked for me I think. Otherwise have a look at the campaign.
(2)Fire event a trigger with a timer - the second trigger will activate when the timer runs out
(3)Army Deploy

An issue you might be having with percent damaged is that you might want 90% damaged, this would be “0.9” not “90”. A while since I have done scenario design so I might be wrong but percent/decimal does often catch people out. The same applies to armour values.

Edit: Fixed what I wanted
