Hello everybody!
I've got a question about triggers. I want to give a "bolt" god power for player at the beginning. I've even found trigger: "Grant God Power". But with that trigger i have 2 god powers at the start of the game: "Bolt" and "Lure" (if i take Poseidon, for example). What trigger can help me to remove the "Lure" gp, so that there is only a "bolt"?
Warning: I'm noob in triggers and scripting
Если кто-нибудь разговаривает по-русски, мне было бы гораздо проще

lol kirion you should really explore all the triggers and what they do.

there's a trigger called "player kill all god powers" which removes all god powers from their slot. simply run that trigger at the beginning before you grant the bolt

Ghostoo, oh man, thanks! It worked.
I know that i must learn triggers, but there are so many of them, so it is not always clear what this or that trigger effects.
Anyway, thanks again

The Elva_Rokk, try using these effects for purchasing/income:

   <Effect name="Purchase Unit (Convert) on Selection">
      <Param name="SrcObject" dispName="Unit" VarType="unit">default</Param>
      <Param name="PlayerReq" dispName="Unit Player Req" varType="string">2</Param>
      <Param name="PlayerNew" dispName="New Player" varType="string">1</Param>
      <Param name="ResName" dispName="Resource" varType="resource">food</Param>
      <Param name="Amount" dispName="Cost" varType="long">100</Param>
      <Command>if (trCurrentPlayer() == %PlayerNew%) {</Command>
      <Command>trUnitSelectClear();</Command>
      <Command>trUnitSelect("%SrcObject%");</Command>
      <Command>if (trUnitIsOwnedBy(%PlayerReq%)) {</Command>
      <Command>if (trUnitIsSelected()) {</Command>  
      <Command>if (trPlayerResourceCount(%PlayerNew%, "%ResName%") >= %Amount%) {</Command>
      <Command>trUnitConvert(%PlayerNew%);</Command>
      <Command>trPlayerGrantResources(%PlayerNew%, "%ResName%", -1*%Amount%);</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>  
   </Effect>

   <Effect name="Grant Resources if Unit Owned">
      <Param name="SrcObject" dispName="Unit" VarType="unit">default</Param>
      <Param name="PlayerID" dispName="$$22301$$Player" varType="string">1</Param>
      <Param name="ResName" dispName="$$22455$$Resource" varType="resource">food</Param>
      <Param name="Amount" dispName="$$22456$$Amount" varType="long">100</Param>
      <Command>trUnitSelectClear();</Command>
      <Command loop="" loopParm="SrcObject">trUnitSelect("%SrcObject%");</Command>
      <Command>if (trUnitIsOwnedBy(%PlayerID%)) {</Command>
      <Command>trPlayerGrantResources(%PlayerID%, "%ResName%", %Amount%);</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>
   </Effect>

With this, the player has to select the unit to convert it (rather than moving a unit near it), and you can put all the purchasing effects in one trigger


Trigger - Purchase_Buildings
[x] Active
[x] Loop
[_] Run Immediately
Priority = High

Conditions
Timer
Seconds = 1

Effects
Purchase Unit (Convert) on Selection
Unit = Building 1
Unit Player Req = 10 (will only work if unit belongs to this player)
New Player = 1 (player to convert to, also has to be this player selecting the unit)
Resource = gold (what resource cost is in)
Cost = 50 (how much of resource is required)

Purchase Unit (Convert) on Selection
Unit = Building 2
Unit Player Req = 10 (will only work if unit belongs to this player)
New Player = 1 (player to convert to, also has to be this player selecting the unit)
Resource = gold (what resource cost is in)
Cost = 50 (how much of resource is required)

...

Purchase Unit (Convert) on Selection
Unit = Building 99
Unit Player Req = 10 (will only work if unit belongs to this player)
New Player = 1 (player to convert to, also has to be this player selecting the unit)
Resource = gold (what resource cost is in)
Cost = 50 (how much of resource is required)

You can also put the income from owned buildings in one trigger


Trigger - Income_from_Buildings
[x] Active
[x] Loop
[_] Run Immediately
Priority = High

Conditions
Timer
Seconds = 1

Effects
Grant Resources if Unit Owned
Unit = Building 1
Player = 1
Resource = Gold
Amount = 1

Grant Resources if Unit Owned
Unit = Building 2
Player = 1
Resource = Gold
Amount = 1

...

Grant Resources if Unit Owned
Unit = Building 99
Player = 1
Resource = Gold
Amount = 1

Now you just need to convert the building ready for purchase once the fort leader is dead. As I'm sure you've found, it's a simple trigger that you can repeat for each fort.

Trigger - Capture_Fort_1
[x] Active
[_] Loop
[_] Run Immediately
Priority = High

Conditions
Is Dead
Unit = Fortress Leader

Effects
Convert
Units = Buildings near fort (can select up to 30)
Player = 10 (player used for purchasable buildings)

Hello again!
Returning to my post about "Bolt" gp:
I've activated "player kill all god powers", and it helped. But when i playtested scenario, i've noticed that there is only "Bolt". I mean when player advances to classic age, he still has "Bolt", but not classic gp (Shifting Sands for example). Same with Heroic and Mythic. What trigger must i add or what should i do?

I don't mean to ignore Elrich, but for the moment, perpetual_n00b, are those effects going to have to be created? Or have they been already?

@Kirion

You need to set a timer of 1 ms before the kill gps effect, because the god powers are loaded a millisecond after the triggers are executed.

I'm gonna update this question thread soon as it needs to be updated.

The AoM Expert, and how can i set it?
Alright, i've found:
Player kill gp - condition - timer ms. I set 1, but still the same bad effect

[This message has been edited by Kirion (edited 07-04-2012 @ 03:02 PM).]

Player kill gp - condition - timer ms. I set 1, but still the same bad effect

Set Priority to 2 (1 quarter) -- you know, the grey bar with a double-pointer.

I'm gonna update this question thread soon as it needs to be updated.

Yeah, a few questions should be added here. Do you have the file log or do I need to send it to you ? Tables and links sometimes get broken up upon directly editing.

Damn, still nothing. Maybe i'm Slowpoke... I'll show prnt scr and my 2 triggers, maybe am i doing anything wrong?

Trigger - trigger_1
[x] Active
[x] Loop
[x] Run Immediately
Priority = Normal

Conditions
Timer ms
Miliseconds=1

Effects
Player kill all god powers
Player = 1

Trigger - trigger_2
[x] Active
[x] Loop
[x] Run Immediately
Priority = High

Conditions
Always

Effects
Grant God Power
Player = 1
God power = bolt
Uses = 1

Result:

you're looping the kill all god powers. it'll continuously kill all god powers.

All you need is a simple Active, Run Immediately, High Priority trigger with a condition Timer MS of 1, and the effect Player Kill All Godpowers. You don't need to loop anything. Just make sure its on active, run immediately, and high priority.

It looks like you want to replace the gp with something else. If you think about it it takes a millisecond for the original gp to disappear so obviously all you have to do is make a longer timer on the 2nd effect for the new god power to appear.

It's basic logic.

The AoM Expert, in a name of Hades thank you
Everything works now. I did't guess to set ms timer on "Grant GP" too)
Sorry for being so slowpoke
I hope i can study well in this trigger stuff

[This message has been edited by Kirion (edited 07-05-2012 @ 00:02 AM).]

You can also put a fire event trigger effect on the first trigger, and have it fire the second one even with a ms of 1 because then the 2nd trigger doesn't happen until the first one does. Just make sure the second one is unactive. This is what the experienced designers do because then all you have to worry about is one trigger (the first one) instead of 2 if you ever wanted to disable it.

So all together you have:

Trigger 1
[X] Active
[ ] Loop
[X] Run Immediately
Priority: High

Conditions: Timer ms - 1
Effects: Player Kill All God Powers, Fire Event - Trigger 2

Trigger 2
[ ] Active
[ ] Loop
[X] Run Immediately
Priority: High

Conditions: Timer ms - 1
Effects: Grant God Power

Quoted from The_Elva_Rokk:

I don't mean to ignore Elrich, but for the moment, perpetual_n00b, are those effects going to have to be created? Or have they been already?

What do you mean? I included the effects in my post, you just have to add them to your typetest.xml

Here they are again:

   <Effect name="Purchase Unit (Convert) on Selection">
      <Param name="SrcObject" dispName="Unit" VarType="unit">default</Param>
      <Param name="PlayerReq" dispName="Unit Player Req" varType="string">2</Param>

      <Param name="ResName" dispName="Resource" varType="resource">food</Param>
      <Param name="Amount" dispName="Cost" varType="long">100</Param>
      <Command>if (trCurrentPlayer() == %PlayerNew%) {</Command>
      <Command>trUnitSelectClear();</Command>
      <Command>trUnitSelect("%SrcObject%");</Command>
      <Command>if (trUnitIsOwnedBy(%PlayerReq%)) {</Command>
      <Command>if (trUnitIsSelected()) {</Command>  
      <Command>if (trPlayerResourceCount(%PlayerNew%, "%ResName%") >= %Amount%) {</Command>
      <Command>trUnitConvert(%PlayerNew%);</Command>
      <Command>trPlayerGrantResources(%PlayerNew%, "%ResName%", -1*%Amount%);</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>  
   </Effect>

   <Effect name="Grant Resources if Unit Owned">
      <Param name="SrcObject" dispName="Unit" VarType="unit">default</Param>
      <Param name="PlayerID" dispName="$$22301$$Player" varType="string">1</Param>
      <Param name="ResName" dispName="$$22455$$Resource" varType="resource">food</Param>
      <Param name="Amount" dispName="$$22456$$Amount" varType="long">100</Param>
      <Command>trUnitSelectClear();</Command>
      <Command loop="" loopParm="SrcObject">trUnitSelect("%SrcObject%");</Command>

      <Command>trPlayerGrantResources(%PlayerID%, "%ResName%", %Amount%);</Command>
      <Command>}</Command>
   </Effect>

I tested them when I made them and they work.

The other conditions/effects from the trigger set ups I posted are standard ones so you have them already.

Oh, I see. I've never messed around too much with effects adding and what not. I'll add it and test it.

-I tested and it works great! Thanks a lot!

Though a problem seems to have arisn.

Units are either invisible or missing parts. I would say it's unrelated but this problem had not occured prior to adding the effects.

Missing units include
-Pots
-Mill atop Economic Guild
-Weapons Missing From Katapeltes, Fanatic, Circe, Einherjar, Contarius, Melagius
(More)
-Ships are in some way missing parts
-Greek Market missings parts.
(More)

Anyways, do you know how I might fix this at all?

Thanks!

Sounds like either an issue with your graphics card or perhaps you installed mods that changed the look of the units?

Triggers shouldn't be able to do what you are describing.

I didn't believe that triggers could mess with that, but I cannot draw another conclusion...

I upgraded my graphics processor and stuff only a few months ago, and I haven't recently installed any mods, in fact I haven't since March... Perhaps it's just me, AoM has a history of not cooperating with me.

Completely irrelevant to Scenario Design but is there a search feature on this forum?

Youbar, you can search sub-forums.

Go to
Age of Mythology Heaven » Forums » Scenario Design & Discussions and look down the bottom beneath the list of topics/threads and you should see search fields for Author and Subject.

Hey guys long time! Well I'm doing army deploy randomly in user defined area and object is relic (army) and I want it that when I am near any relic with my player (army) that the relic disappears when I'm near it and I can put in effects after but I can't do it. I have tried change units in area around army but I think it's bugged effect and I can seem to work out the v triggers too. Need some urgent help if I ever want to continue my new Rpg. Thanks in advance!

v Target Protounit Query Start
Player = 0
Radius = -1 (=the entire map)

Put your other effects here, or use a fire event effect to fire another trigger with effects

v Conditional zEND
