Capture the Flag

[River_God]

So I could ahve it so that you don't get reinforcements unless you have a unit selected, I could add it into the reinforcements trigger. I really jst said that here so I don't forget when I type it at my other house.

[pftq]

In that case you could simply have two conditions in the same trigger.

[River_God]

Could you take a look at my code and tell me why when I move my harbormaster close to Alain Magnan it does nothing?

Focus on the "Harbormaster" function as well as the USI unit placements. I am not sure why it is not working.

[pftq]

Are the units placed after or before forests?

Remember what I said earlier about forests wiping out the ids from that point in the script onwards?

[River_God]

That sucks cause if I build the forest after then the island is covered in forest!

[pftq]

Use a loop and place a series of areas so that it doesn't cover the entire island.  Use constraints so they do not overlap existing objects/areas/each other.

[River_God]

Ok, I added constraints and the forests are last onto the map, but still nothing happens. Would placing the object definition twice have an effect?

[pftq]

Are the forests placed correctly? What isn't happening?

[River_God]

The forests place fine, but when I call on the trigger, nothing happens. I was thinking that placing the object definition twice made it so that the unit In area of the object has to be within the radius of both objects and not just one of them, would that be true?

[pftq]

What do you mean placing the object definition twice?

[River_God]

I'll show you.

int USIhandcav=rmCreateObjectDef("Unit Select Island Hand Cav");
rmAddObjectDefItem(USIhandcav,"IGCAlainHorse", 1,0);
rmPlaceObjectDefAtLoc(USIhandcav, 0, 0.87, 0.52, 1);
rmPlaceObjectDefAtLoc(USIhandcav, 0, 0.17, 0.52, 1);


Like that. But I think I will just use the points instead of the object definition.

[River_God]

Ok now none of my triggers are firing! I have it attached here.

[pftq]

What did you do last before it worked? Sorry, but you must realize I can't re-read the entire script every time. :-/ That's just not feasible..

[River_God]

Ya I understand. It was some random trigger I started to make but didn't finish so all the triggers failed. It works, now I just have to figure out my harbormaster thing.

[pftq]

Well I've never seen objects placed that way but my guess is that the second one would overwrite the first.  This means that USIhandcav would only represent one of the objects you placed (or worst case, neither).  Did you try splitting it to two complete objects?
