I was wondering what triggers would allow me to use upgrades like in Orbit D?!.

What kind of upgrades?

You know it would help if the map was not protected. Ohh wait, nevermind, we are supposed to play it. I'll play it later.

Did you mean instant upgrades? Or did you mean where you can buy a level upgrades for all races?
If you're asking for the latter question it was done in 27 triggers. Basically what you want is when player you buy something, you increase custom score by 1. If custom score is exactly 1 it increases gas by 1 and preserve it.
Then you would keep repeating the latter trigger by adding 1 custom score and 1 gas. This is not how it's done in Oribt Defense, but it works.

| Trigger |
| Conditions: |
| ¤ Player 1 brings 1 unit to location(buy gas). |
| Actions: |
| ¤ Move unit at location(buy gas) to location (move back). |

I am wondering steathy, what happens after you have used 3 men at the location? I know the answer; I asked that question because other people might not think to ask that question. So, I think the triggers below will be better: (Note: I haven't played obrit defence so I can only guess at what to do, although I would like to play it.)

This is just one way. There is few more ways, but I don't recommend them because they seem to separate the mac users and PC users at the very beginging of the game by "dropping" them.

Uhm... what they said <_<
If you don't know how to do instant ups, just make the time 8739, if that helps.

This would actually be wrong. The upgrades are set so if you buy 1 gas, you continue to have 1 gas. If you buy another, you will continue to have 2 gas. Then another and another, etc...Subtracting the custom score would not achieve this affect.

I am trying to understand why you think I am wrong here. The way I was doing my triggers, is a player would always get gas because the triggers are constantly renewing themselves (as long as the current player is getting kills). Also, this is the most simple way I can see this kind of scoring system being. The way you did it, based on my experience, player 1 would get a maximum of 3 gas because I didn't see you say anything about continuing the triggers... In other words, I didn't see you say something like, "there you go. Now you need to continue to copy the last two triggers but add 1 custom score to and one gas to each trigger."

Yes, I didn't say to add 1 custom score and 1 gas. I assumed that saying "Then you would keep repeating the trigger" after showing a trigger with 1 custom score and 1 gas, then a second trigger with 2 custom score and 2 gas would show what to do.

eh... wait, sort of off topic to this topic but you know for upgrades, there is base and factor right? so if the base is 8739 and the factor is 8739, it will be instant upgrades for all levels? and can't you just type in 0?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by StealthyDeath on 2004-12-06 at 08:34:44
Yes they will be instant upgrades for all levels if you do that. Typing 0 doesn't work, it just changes it back to 1 after you do.

Typing 0 in Starforge works perfectly. It is only in original and X-tra that you have to type some high number.
