I want to know how to make a LOCATION follow the UNIT thats move so it can be sent to the BATTLE ARENA in my rpg. say the unit is called/a "marine" and the location is called "trail" how do u make it follow you so when an enemy enters it they both get sent to the BATTLE ARENA? (enemy gos to location "enter battle arena: enemy" and player gos 2 "enter battle arena: player")
Also, how do i make it so when they kill the enemies in the BATTLE ARENA they get sent back to their location (making the location stay where it is when u fight)

plz help me

We have tutorials for everything!

Next time use the SEARCH function.

Use a Move Location to center a location on the Marine.

You can't move a unit back when it dies, but you can have a trigger based on deaths... create one and subtract a death.

This is how I would do it, although there are probably other/easier ways. Use the trigger from the tutorial LegacyWeapon provided, except only make the location follow the unit if a switch is set. So when the marine goes into battle, clear the switch, so the location stays put, and when he moves back, set the switch again so it follows the marine again.

just use this...

Trigger

Players:

¤ What ever player

Conditions:

¤ Always();

Actions:

¤ CenterLocation(*LOCATION1*, on the unit);

¤ Presever trigger

then just make a trigger so that something happends in the lil location

just use this...

Trigger

Players:

¤ What ever player

Conditions:

¤ Incorrect(information,current);

Actions:

¤ Ignore(Xghost,previous post);

¤ Preserve Trigger();

Here's a few quick examples, nothing too in-depth youll have to adjust the settings according to your map...


Variables:
InBattle?: 0=No, 1=Yes

If Computer Player brings at least 1 Enemy#1 to 'P1 Location'
Player suffers exactly 0 Deaths of InBattle?
--
Create # of enemy#1 at battle area for computer player
Move human to battle area for current player
Modify deaths for current player set to 1 for InBattle?
Center View at 'battle area'
etc etc etc
Preserve Trigger

Now when you kill the enemies within the Battle Area...

If Computer Player brings exactly 0 Men to 'Battle Area'
Current player suffers exactly 1 death of InBattle?
--
Move hero at Battle area back to 'P1 Location'
Display Text 'Victory!'
Wait(# seconds before player can trigger another battle);
Modify deaths for current player set to 0 for InBattle?
Preserve Trigger



Now for this its rather simple, using in conjunction with the above triggers...

Current player suffers exactly 0 deaths of InBattle?
Current player brings exactly 0 men to Battle Area
--
Center location labeled 'P1 Location' on all Men at Anywhere
Preserve Trigger

Now when you get into a battle, the center location will stop on the world map where it last was before your hero entered the battle area. Because as soon as he enters the battle area it stops centering view on the hero and thus stays in the last spot it was in before you moved over.

actually, In Xuru rpg, they don't transfer teh opponent you're facing to the battle arena. They create totally new ones and the orginal monster keeps it's junkyard dog wander.
The text in the <> are the actual trigger names

so it would be like
----------------------------
"player(computer)" brings unit to "(location centered)"on "player1" "unit"<bring>
If switch1 is cleared"
-next-
center view "battle arena"
set properties "disable player1 invincebility"
move players unit to "location Battle Arena"
Create "X" amount of "Computer monster unit" in " location battle arena"<create>
order "computer monster unit" to attack "location centered on hero" <order>
set switch1<set switch>
-preserve trigger-<preserve trigger>
-----------------------------
the second trigger would be
-----------------------------
If Switch 1 is set"
"player" kills "amount" "monster" in "location battle arena"<kill>
-next-
move "player" "unit" from "battle arena" to "HUGE ASS AREA LOCATION" <move>
-Clear switch 1 <set switch>
Preserve trigger
----------------------------

and that should be about it
