Iran Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I might add new triggers if I feel like and I can figure out the whole system from loading a trigger from a map file to executing one. Some suggestions I got for trigger ACTIONS: - Give credits. - Force alliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Chronoshift <unit> <team> <cell> ? sounds kinda useful or perhaps nuke <cell> (i.e. it drops a nuke on that cell) I can post more when i think of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypto Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'd love to see Tech Buildings if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'd love to see Tech Buildings if possible. Although that's not really a trigger, it does make me think that something like "Set Tech Level" could be useful in missions. e.g. Capture a structure, change the player's TL to something higher (or conversely, lose a structure and change it to something lower).

Jacko Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 yeah Enable <unit> would be cool (e.g. you can now build artillery units or some shiz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 yeah Enable <unit> would be cool (e.g. you can now build artillery units or some shiz) Artillery, eh? Is the lack of having those during that mission still on your mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 I was already thinking about changing tech level for a player, primary and secondary color scheme and adding a trigger to add a new building/unit that they can build to the sidebar.

Echo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 add a new building/unit that they can build to the sidebar. This is a point; is it possible to edit a map's definitions to customise a unit's appearance and cameo, like in Arda? For example replacing the standard ANT1 SHP with another vehicle by using a keyword (e.g. Image=/Icon= )? I know you added support to give them 32 facings, so it crossed my mind to allow special units for some missions. Something such as (straight from my old Arda mod): [ANT1] Image=6TNK (automatically calls for 6TNKICON as build cameo) Turret=Yes Facings=32 (automatically assumes 32 facings each for chassis and turret) Obviously this example would require another .mix file with the graphics required, but I'm just wondering if it's possible at all (or at least how much can be done at the moment).

Jacko Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I think it works better if you actually replace the icons/shps rather than just using image= e.g. see my mod or red dawn, where the ants have been replaced with units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 I haven't added a keyword to change the facings yet, but I know how to do this. Image= already works. I just added a 'give credits' trigger action, with support for giving negative amounts of credits. Yes a simple and boring trigger but I got everything figured out now. Every trigger action can have up to 3 parameters. Not related to triggers but I also found something hidden for map makers: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=2599.msg16276#new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Okay added a trigger to add buildable stuff to the sidebar. The following requirements and behavior: 1. Superweapons can't be added from the looks of it. (use the other triggers for that) 2. The unit needs to be ownable by the player (i.e. "Owner=soviet,allies" under the unit type in the data files) 3. At least one production facility that produces the type of the object needs to exist. 4. Once the last production facility of that type is destroyed and you rebuild one, the unit won't be automagically re-added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you just emulate that by giving a bunch of stuff that tech building as prerequisite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Can't you just emulate that by giving a bunch of stuff that tech building as prerequisite? If there's only one of them on the map and the objective is to capture it, then yeah. But say there's an objective to capture x amount of whatever structure, or merely send a spy to infiltrate something? Prerequisites aren't as flexible when it comes to this sort of thing.

Allen262 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The Chronoshift idea almost works as is. The Ants use it. Name: ant7 Owner: Spain Existence: constant (any linked event -> switch) Type: and (event1 && event2 => action1 [+ action2]) Event 1: Destroyed by anybody Event 2: Global is set... 7 Action 1: Reinforcement (team)... ant7 Teams: ant7 and Name: ant7 Owner: BadGuy Priority: 7 Max: 0 Num: 0 WayPoint: 0 Trigger: ant7 Team: Ant 1 1 Orders: 0 Move to waypoint... 15 1 Do this... Area Guard Linked triggers: ant7 However this only wokrs for the 3 Ants and the WayPoint they start at in this case 0 must be the Ant hill tile or the team will be reinforced from one of the edges of the map.

Iran Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Added a new trigger to center the view port for a house around a waypoint..lots of code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 oooh sounds awesome, nice work there. so when trigger 'x' is fired you can make it centre your screen on a location? Btw concerning chrono stuff I think chrono tank use 'spy building at waypoint' for no apparent reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yeah, the Mission_Spy() code has a call to Mission_Attack() which has special Chrono Tank teleport code, I could change it so it applies to all vehicles instead of just Chrono Tanks. Can you give me a test mission/map? I've added the following triggers: Give_Credits_Action: ID = 40, parameter 1 = HouseType of the house to give credits, parameter 2 = amount of credits to give (negative amounts work) Add_Vehicle_To_Sidebar_Action: ID = 41, parameter = Vehicle internal ID number to add to sidebar (Trigger owner is used for which house to add to sidebar for) Set_View_Port_Location: ID = 50, parameter 1 = Waypoint to center viewport around (Trigger owner is used for which house to set view port location for) Set_Player_Control: ID = 51, parameter 1 = HouseType to set PlayerControl, parameter 2 = turn player control on/off (1/0) (Trigger owner is used for which house to give player control) Set_House_Primary_Color_Scheme: ID = 52, parameter 1 = HouseType to set primary color for, parameter 2 = PlayerColorType to set to Set_House_Primary_Color_Scheme: ID = 53, parameter 1 = HouseType to set secondary color for, parameter 2 = PlayerColorType to set to Set_House_Build_Level: ID = 54, parameter 1 = HouseType to set tech level for, parameter 2 = desired tech level Set_House_lQ: ID = 55, parameter 1 = HouseType to set IQ, parameter 2 = desired IQ level House_Make_Ally: ID = 56, parameter 1 = HouseType to force make ally another house, parameter 2 = HouseType of the house that will be allied House_Make_Enemy: ID = 57, parameter 1 = HouseType to force make enemy another house, parameter 2 = HouseType of the house that will be enemied EXE here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21865790/ra95.exe NOTE THESE TRIGGERS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 K got it working for Tesla Tanks and I assume all other tanks. I'll have to add a map keyword change the spy at behavior for tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Added a new ChronoReinforceTanks=(Yes/No) keyword to the [basic] section of the map. When set to true you can chrono reinforce tanks like the Chrono Tank with the 'spy at' setup set up.

Allen262 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 You need to look into editing RAED or see how much if the ingame editor WestWood used is still left and get it working and add your new triggers to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
