RA kill# trigger

[Zjorz]

Hey guys, im having a problem with a trigger i want to use on a multiplayer map.

 

I want the following:

 

Multi1 destroys 10 units -> destroy trigger 1. I killed over 20 units a few times and the trigger just doenst want to activate.

 

Does this trigger work for non campaign maps?

[Jacko]

destroying the trigger stops it from activating

 

also listing your trigger settings in more detail helps (things like activation, trigger, temp/constant w/e)

Name:      M1D1

Owner:    Multi1

Existence: temporary (any linked event -> switch, destroy)

Type:      simple (event1 => action1 [+ action2])

Event 1:  Destroyed, Units, #... 5

Action 1:  Destroy Trigger... M1R2

 

THe problem is it doesnt fire after i destroy 5 units 

[Jacko]

if you want trigger M1R2 to activate you need to force it not destroy it

[Zjorz]

I added the map for more details.

 

The idea is like this:

 

Multi1 gets light tank reinforcements. After multi1 destroys 5 units these upgrade to medium tanks. Im trying to do this via triggers but it doesnt fire.

 

Hope you can take a look and see whats wrong

so do you want multi1 to kill 5 enemy units or to lose 5 units?

[Zjorz]

He needs to kill 5 enemy units

[Jacko]

well destroyed# units apply to said owner  Losing that many units, so you will want to set said trigger onto the enemy they shoot at for them to lose the 5 units.

(I'm guessing this is multi2)

[Zjorz]

Okay this really sucks. This means the trigger will only work for a specific owner and not destroyed units in total (total fopr multiple owners) 

[Jacko]

yeah triggers-related stuff with RA is a little bit limited when trying to do certain things. My favourite being the need to have maybe 3 or 4 triggers to force a player to capture something, and then lose if it is destroyed after

[Zjorz]

Soo, do the triggers "no factories left" and "destroyed, fakes, all" mean no factories left for other players and no fakes left for all other players?

[bmoeller]

zjorz why don you setup up the trigger and find out? would save you a lot of since you wouldnt have to sit around and wait for a response .

[Jacko]

no, those apply to the owner, as does destroyed units/object #, credits and a couple other things

I have a similar issue: I want 3 reinforcement triggers (2 are shown here) destroyed when no factories are left. But its ignoring the destroy trigger and reinforcements keep coming. Its a very straight forward trigger I cant think of any reason. It was not working with a destroyed by anyone trigger attached to a factory either.
