Okay, so that how i set up my trigger so i can get 3 minerals and 1 gas per kill.
The gas is used to get a civ to get heros ans stuff, 10 gas=1 civ
My defence map has over 15 levels and at some point this trigger starts to do something different. I start getting 3 gas per kill and eventually i start getting none. Minerals im doing fine on but i dont understand whats up with the gas.

Is there another way to make this easier so i get 1 gas per kill, if you know what im saying... Well yay that pretty much it. Some tell me whats wrong with this.

But that way, isn't there a chance (even with hyper triggers) of killing two units within 1/12 of a second, and thereby getting less money than you deserve? Why not simply have it be "lower current player's kills score by 1?"

If you lower the kill score by 1, you only lower the score 100-1=99, so that doesnt work, well it does work but makes things a lot more complex. And you really shouldnt run into too many lagged kills with hyper triggers. However, Im pretty sure they still resolve at different times.

It may stop because you are using 'exactly' so if you get any kill score other then 100 it will never work since it can't be exactly 200 and 300 at the same time, I think you should be using at least and at most...

It's the most n00b-friendly way, and will only be slightly askewed in isolated circumstances. Just go with it.

computer unit death's

i think the best way is doing this, create a computer player for each player, thus you can only have a maximum of 5 players,

p1 kills p6
p2 kills p7
p3 kills p8
p4 kills p9
p5 kills p10

example:

condition
P6 suffers atleast 1 death's of any unit
action
set deaths for player 6, subtract, 1, anyunit.
set resources, for player 1, add 1, ore.
preserve trigger

for player 9 and 10 units they can't be created but have to be given to with a trigger.

Hahaha my bad typo error, sry it is set to at least and at most...

All i did is copy and paste then change the number, sry about that.

I also tried that and what Musteval there is a chance that u do get more if u kill within 1/12, I tested my map once again to see if that true and i didnt get all the resources. I killed 75 units and only got 192 minerals and 64 gas, im missing 33 minerals and 11 gas.

The trigger shown above with those typo errors was fine if it killed 2 units within 1/12 or a second but then came a across a problem where i started gett 3 gas per kill then eventually didnt get anything per kill.

For one, deaths for players 9-12 don't seem to work right so there would only be 4 players. It may be effective but it won't allow a whole lot of players and also if the players all kill the same thing then it won't work.

Can somebody help me out with this.....still have no clue whats going on

I doubt it's the problem, but what's the point of the last trigger? At Least 102400 at most 300?

Splash units? Did you kill more than one unit at a time? And by the way with hyper triggers, it'll eventually run out and have a small break and that small break could kill the system.

you have the order wrong I think. in the tutorial is sais to put them from highest score to lowest so that the higher ones trigger first

wow some mayn errors i put man.. ignore that last trigger with as most 3 the very last one....

Anyways about my map...the trigger is fine for the first 3 lvls which take about les then...i think....hmmm... 5 min at most..then after awhile u get more resources then i used to...then when it comes to like lvl...hmmm...12 the trigger stops working....

I use the minerals so u can build and the gas is used to get a civ 10 gas=1 civ
i am using hyper trigger but cant find what the problem is... why it gives me more resources and why the trigger stops....

I assume every unit gives 100 kill score...

If you do highest to lowest, you'll need only Atleast and no Atmost parameters, and everything will be checked in 1 run of the triggers, so it's more efficient.

Post your map.

How would that help?

If a unit gave 200 kill score it would get 6 minerals and 2 gas when every unit is supposed to get only 3 minerals and 1 gas, it could explain why they start giving more minerals/gas.

So if you kill 1 hydra you'd get 9 minerals and 3 gas, and when you kill another hydra you'd get 12 and 4?

Here the triggers again...this time ill fix it..

There, minerals are just used to build things...now about the kill of the units... every time u kill one you get 3 minerals and 1 gas. The trigger that DT_Battlekruser gave me wouldn't work if you killed 2 units in the same time. The trigger will only count it once, giving me only 3 minerals and 1 gas.

When i go to test this map... these triggers work fine for a couple minutes then after awhile i start to get more gas and i think more minerals per kill...soon after awhile i get none...no clue why it does that....

When I looked in the map, they would give completely different kill scores, somewhere in there they would give something like 300 giving you 3x the amount you're supposed to get, and when it gets to the critters they only give 10 kill score each I think so it might appear to stop since you would only get 1/10 of the resources you're supposed to get.

That's why you don't use only multiples of 100!

I am like most confused, still have no clue how to fix this.......

I guess you could use switches/death count/some other way of keeping track of levels then make a different subtract kill value depending which switch/counter is set (uses a ton more triggers though unfortunately) Sort of like this:


null

Trigger

Conditions:

¤ Kill score is at least 100

¤ Switch whatever (drone) is set

Actions:

¤ Subtract 100 kill score

¤ add 1 gas

¤ add 3 minerals

¤ preserve trigger

and have a bunch more for every level (like when it gets to critters it would be like this:

null

Trigger

Conditions:

¤ Kill score is at least 10

¤ Switch whatever2 (critter 1) is set

Actions:

¤ subtract 10 kill score

¤ add 1 gas

¤ add 3 minerals

¤ preserve trigger

(it might be different then 10 for critters, I'm not sure)

Theres probably a way easier way that I'm not thinking of right now, but it should work...

this is going to take a lot then.. well sorta
but man i hate these problems errr......
