Yeah Scypher knows about ya, Rexy, so he wont mind you testing this.


[Update]
Right now I'm just having trouble with the Roll triggers (I'm sure I messed up on a condition somehwere or something) but once that bug is fixed I can start pwnaging on the auction triggers. I think I'm gonna save the bulky property triggers for last so its more satisfying when we finally finish this.

What you could do (even if it is crude) for the houses is that you could have a guy that adds a house. It might not save triggers, but it might be easier to play. Or you could have all your propertys be units and then have a beacon that says buy house in that area. Then if you bring your unit there it makes a house for that if you have the monopoly. You could make it if you have all the propertys set a switch that lets you know they have that monopoly. You are probably already doing it like this, but if you arn't it is an idea

Yeah we have a section where all the properties are for each player, and there they can choose to auction, trade, sell, purchase house, purchase hotel, and get info on the property. Thanks for the suggestion anyways, though.

I may seem like an ass throughout this topic, but we do appreciate the comments very much and we're glad to see so many people interested in this map. I was just getting annoyed that people would tell us what to do as if it was their map and not ours. So please guys, don't take it personally.

No offense taken. I was suggesting that you do things my way as if it were my map, simply because I've taken plenty of time to think about how to do this. Anyway, for buying a hotel I would have a location in the center of each property where the player would cast a disruption web from a corsair that would allow him to buy a house there easily. This is easy to detect and to trigger. (The player whose turn it is would be the only player owning a corsair. Give corsairs to computer player when it is not that player's turn, and/or on his turn give ALL corsairs to him for simplicity.)

There seems to be a lot of things going on here, so I won't waste 45 minutes of my life and read it all.. Instead I will say GoodLuck with your map, and have fun.

Your such a jerk devlin. hes only tryin to help. wtf is ur problem

Was that nessasary Mp)SD?

Correct me if I am wrong Mp)SD, but I believe that all of the above are quotes of you. Kindly don't call fellow members jerks, not to mention the rest of your posts. Thanks.

Ya... don't insult people if they are just telling you what they are doing. And he did appologize to all the people he *cough* dissed *cough* told what he was doing. Anyway, Mp)SD, don't insult.
Keep up the good work people .

WTF is it with everyone hating me. I dont get it, its not just here. On SC too. like 2 ppl are cool with me and everyone else gives me shit. Maybe i would be a little nicer if people would respect me more.

People disrespect you because you act like an asshole and all you seem do on the forums is spam angry comments with no regard for constructive criticism. Frankly I think the disrespect is well-deserved, and perhaps you should first look into what you're doing before you blame this on other people.

Edit: Okay, I understand not all your posts are mean-spirited, and I want to say I don't mean anything against you personally. But still you should be aware that you disrespect other people on the forum pretty often, like through the quotes seen on the last page.

see, you dont even know me and u gotta be like that.

I'm looking at your posts and judging your character based on that. That's what other people see too and so since you wanted to know why people seem to be disrespecting is because you more than once come off as disrespecting too. It's true none of us really know you, but the fact that you're taking part in this forum means we can evaluate you as a member in this community as much as you can evaluate us.

Anyway, I don't want to get off topic anymore. This should be it.

good, i dont want u talkin to me anyways...

good luck with monopoly devlin

Or vice versa perhaps? I'll give a bit of a rant here:

We are established members in a community. We honestly don't care about one more member or not. Thus, you honestly shouldn't say anything about us until we "accept" you. You have to earn our respect, it's not the other way around. Though it is not fair, that is quite simply the truth, and no one cares about any one person until they have proven that they are deserving of such attention. I am not nieve enough to think that I am one of the elite here, but I do know that most members do respect my opinion, or at least give it a thought.

Just my analysis of the matter.

JESUS!!!!!!!
Too bad the army system is down, then you could settle disputes there. Anyway, if you are going to argue, even if they started it, do it not in posts (in PMs or beating their score in arcade or something.) I'm sick of people arguing. I know i am arguing also, but I'm arguing to stop arguing (confusing isn't it?)
Anyway, good luck with your map .

well no one here has my respect other than T-Virus and Mp)3, so i dont give a shit was u think.I own almost everyone here anyways

Well if you want to get technical, he was trying to help by telling me how to make my map when:
a. He doesn't know how I'm doing it in the first place
b. If he wants to make it his way so badly, he should just make his own Monopoly map
c. his way isn't as efficient as my method, which he hasn't even seen.
So I'd say that's my problem. And you, actually. You're an asshole as well, apparently for no reason at all. But I guess that's because you're always the victom, right? Shouldn't we be pitying you or something by now?


And you really wonder why people don't like you?


The guy you don't want to talk to is making it as well.

Anyways, I've now fixed the roll triggers (finally!!!!) and will finally move on to the auction triggers or purchasing triggers. And to all you people asking to test, realize that we're trying to get as much of this map done as possible before we can test it fully (and we said this wont be a quick map).

well my system i was thinking when you centered the location on the unit(when he is out of moves) it will start a serach. if it brings it to a certain unit it does that.

though i dunno, it may infact add some extra triggers, i didnt try it yet.

what, now i cant say good luck?

you'll be legendary if you pull this off correctly good luck.

That is partially what we're hoping to accomplish.

lol, good job, the best of luck.

Congratulations. You (think that you) can beat us in a computer game. Now you will most assuredly be successful in life. But hey, I need someone to pump my gas when I get my license (5 DAYS!!!!!!).


No, you pretty much excluded yourself from the forum by opposing everyone talking in here. So to be quite blunt because you seem a bit slow: No, you can't say good luck, and stay the out of this thread.


----------OFF TOPIC/ON TOPIC LINE------------

And now to the map. What exactly are you going to do for the properties, if it has been decided. Do you have enough buildings to create a unit for each location? If you could make it so that they were all the same type of unit that could be cool. For example, make a marine/Jim Raynor be Baltic/Mediterranean Avenue, and make 3 ghosts be the light blues, and et cetera. This would be cool if you had enough units for the groups of three. I'm trying to think what could be used. In monopoly there are light blues, pinks, oranges, reds, yellows, and greens.

In sc combos of three are: Ghosts, BC's (there are around 5 of these actually), Scouts (there are 5 of these actually counting the unused buildings...), and thats all that I can think of. so you would be 3 groups short unless im missing obvious things. Actually, are there 3 arbiters with regular/danimoth/that funny hero whose name I can never remember? Post any groups that you can think of, just for my sake. (Currently lacking a working editor. Damn my computer.)

Actually I think flying units are out of the question. When you own a property, you'll be given a unit (that you can control, in technical terms) that counts as a token plus you'll be able to use that unit to view its property info or buy a house on it any time. If we had flying units we'd have to make a bunch of no-flying zones around all the player spaces which would cost more locations and triggers than we want to work on.
