I can't get this trigger on my map to work correctly.. you see.. if you've played Golems Ultra, or Golems Revolution, which ever it is, there's a Spore Colony in the middle of the map that you can take over with certain amounts of units. I want that to be on my map, but I can't get it to work correctly, I can get the take over part done fine, but the lose control of it and return to normal player to work.

Some one post here the trigger setup on how to do this?
Thanks.

i had that going for one of my maps for an RPG, when u step on a beacon, all the upgrade buildings become yours

put a location over the buildings you want to control, lets say nexus is the building and lets call the location Nexus Control(it has to be bigger than the building obviously)

Players: All the human players or whoever you want
-------------------------------------------------------------
Conditions: Current Player brings at least 1 men to Nexus Control
-------------------------------------------------------------
Actions: Give all Buildings at Nexus Control to Current Player
Preserve Trigger
-------------------------------------------------------------

and heres a trigger to give it back to the comp when the player leaves that area (if you need it)

Players: Force 1 or whatever players you want
-------------------------------------------------------------
Conditions: Force 1 has exatly 0 men at Nexus Control
-------------------------------------------------------------
Actions: Give all buildings at Nexus Control to Player 8/Computer
Preserve Trigger

is that what you meant? im not sure if you have to preserve trigger, but do it just in case

Players: Human Force
Conditions: Current Player brings at least 1 Men to Spore Location
Conditions: Human Force brings exactly 0 Buildings to Spore Location
Effects: Give 1 Spore Colony owned by All Players at Spore Location to Current Player
Effects: Preserve Trigger

Players: Human Force
Conditions: Current Player brings at least 1 Spore Colony to Spore Location
Conditions: Current Player brings exactly 0 Men to Spore Location
Effects: Give 1 Spore Colony owned by Current Player at Spore Location to Computer Player
Effects: Preserve Trigger

This will guarantee that if the player who owns the Spore Colony leaves the game, everything will still go on as normal.

I prefer to avoid using anything that has "exactly" in the triggers because I have had trouble with it in the past. Instead, I like to use the "at most" along with "at least" trigger...

I said units... not ALL UNITS. That is how I format my triggers. Units means YOU SPECIFY the units. Please read my posts more carefully for I don't misuse grammar or spell things incorrectly too often. Even so, I do revise it.

Yes, for some reason a trigger, on a friends map, wasn't working until I changed it from:

Trigger

Players:

¤ the computer players

Conditions:

¤ player 1-4 (computer players) brings at least 0 any unit to anywhere

Actions:

¤ order exactly 1 scv to location X

There was a scv on the map before and after the trigger above was activated, and since all of the other triggers were disabled, I changed the actions to:
order at least 1 scv to location X
order at most 1 scv to location X

With this new action, the trigger worked (finally

)

Anyone read my post?

Use exactly for only the value "0" and things like using Deaths as switches.

Exactly has problems since the comp reviews them every 2 sec? so Exactly might screw up use Ateast or Atmost. I hade the same problem in my map i used exactly send it only worked in the first few levels and later it did not work but when I used Atmost/Atleast it worked fine. Unless you really need to have and exactly number for your trigger I would sujest using AtMost or Atleast.

Ok those are all great, but I want it like in Golems Madness Ultra... where you gotta bring over 20 men to take over the spore in the center, and when you lose under 20 men, it becomes computer again, and you still have men there, just not enough..

ya, pcfredz, but what happens when the human players have more than 20 men, some of their men die and then they have less than 19 men, and then they loss their sunken. Which means there needs to be a preseve trigger there.

Spellcheck: dilemma.

SA_Max71, I think the Preserve Trigger just got left out on the top somehow.
