Allrighty, sent it to ya, FaZ-. If you don't know what to do with it I'll ask Rexy to help.
You can't set switches at locations. I will use the switch idea, though. This has been a great help, thanks.

Oh, shit I was a it tired there... But i mean when playr brings a guy to "road1" set switch =P

Ahh allrighty. Yeah the switch idea works well, so I have 1 switch per set of properties (i.e. Red, Purple, Blue, etc.)

And I fixed the movement thing that FaZ was talking about and fixed all the bugs with Player 8's units moving with the player. The issue now is thatthe rolls will work, but wont display properly. When I roll a 5, it will display double twos or when I roll a 7 it will show double ones. This map is realllly getting on my nerves now, and we haven't even gotten to the time consuming part.

These are the dice combinations

(First)-(Second)

1-1 2-1 3-1 4-1 5-1 6-1
1-2 2-2 3-2 4-2 5-2 6-2
1-3 2-3 3-3 4-3 5-3 6-3
1-4 2-4 3-4 4-4 5-4 6-4
1-5 2-5 3-5 4-5 5-5 6-5
1-6 2-6 3-6 4-6 5-6 6-6

2 = 1-1
3 = 1-2 2-1
4 = 2-2 3-1 1-3
5 = 2-3 3-2 1-4 4-1
6 = 3-3 5-1 1-5 2-4 4-2
7 = 3-4 4-3 1-6 6-1 5-2 2-5
8 = 4-4 3-5 5-3 6-2 2-6
9 = 6-3 3-6 4-5 5-4
10= 5-5 4-6 6-4
11= 5-6 6-5
12= 6-6

You can do like this, make a little area with a dark and a light area and a unit wich is possible to disable doodad state on, when you move to the dark zone you randomize the first dice, and teleport the unit back to the light area, set death of any unit to the number of the first dice and display the number that where randomized. Second you do the same with the unit and teleport it back to it's position and disable doodad state on it, also set another death count for the second dice and display text again for the second dice number.

Then you make two actions like this:

Trigger
Description:
First Dice count
Players:
¤ Any player
Conditions:
¤ Death of any unit is at least 1
¤ Death of any unit is 1 (Initiate first dice roll move)
Actions:
¤ Subtract 1 death of any unit owned by any player
¤ Move/ Teleport unit forward one location
¤ Preserve trigger



Trigger
Description:
First Dice count
Players:
¤ Any player
Conditions:
¤ Death of any unit is at least 1
¤ Death of any unit is 2 (Initiate second dice roll move)
Actions:
¤ Subtract 1 death of any unit owned by any player
¤ Move/ Teleport unit forward one location
¤ Preserve trigger

As I said in the post you quoted, the roll dice system works. It just wont display the dice properly. I know all of the 36 combinations and I know how to add, the dice just wont show up on the minimap.

And I also said the move triggers work fine (and as it turns out that is pretty much the same way we did it).

Allright now I've sent the latest version of the map to RexyRex and LegacyWeapon. I'm hoping one of them can figure it out because I'm getting more and more frustrated with these darn triggers (and I don't mean to take it out on you, Chrono).

I have already started a monopoly game long ago. I already have most of it done.... I have made a board, most of the property stats, all locations, all terrain, game pieces, most gameplay... im almost done with it....

The reason it isnt done is because my dad borrowed my monitor... (im on my other comp)

This is kinda pointless to tell, but i just wanted to let u kno...

All the people I have ever known have never gotten to finish a monopoly map ever. I don't care what excuse you use, you guys have NEVER finished one. A lot of people have had this idea and none of you guys who post about it ever finish. I'm really hoping DevliN will actually complete this map!

Well we just need to get the dice to display correctly (which Rexy fixed completely for us last ight and early into this morning). Once that is settled, we'll move on to the various property triggers whihc shouldn't take too long (there are only about 28 properties on a Monopoly board). Everything else we've got planned on paper, in AIM conversations, or on other maps so I think we've got it all covered from here.

I don't do things that way. If i had very little done, i wudnt work on it... but i have much done so i have to finish it.


And i plan to.

DevliN, did you fix the "Die 2" death counter?
I think there was something with the rolls that made it do both displays on the first die. mellow.gif

That's lovely, but I don't think anyone cares. This thread afterall is for our map (mine and D_Scypher's), not yours.

Nope, but I redid the roll triggers as random switches as the displays still don't work while the movement works fine. So I think it is something wrong with the displays and not the roll triggers. Want to take another look at it and try to fix them?

Did you even regard my PM confused.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by DevliN on 2005-03-13 at 22:25:56
Yes, and i did end up deleting all the switches in the display triggers. As for the P8 moving bug, I solved that by constantly setting its death trigger to 0 for movement. So in all, your PM was pretty helpful. But alas, the displays still don't fully work.

Since the weekend is over, I don't really have the time.
But I can help you out with other, smaller things.

What exactly is the display doing?

Unless you solve it within 15 hours tongue.gif

Okay, DevliN has the newest vers of the map and he'll send it later tonight probably.

Next, we plan on working on the property triggers, like setting the costs of everything, purchasing them, landing on them, etc.

Well I've fixed the rolling (for now). The issue is that the dice don't show up on the map correctly. I sent the map to Legacy to check it out, maybe he can see what's wrong with it.

Yeah I just took a look at it. It seems like it works pretty well, but I need 2 dice and not in the form of units. Thanks for the help anyway, though. I appreciate it.
