Okei, this is the problem here. I'm trying to switch units between lanes when a person who is supposed to occupy that lane has left, been banned or does not exist. I'm supposed to do that 3 times. The first lane switch was succesful but the second wasn't. I'm currently using this trigger:
Conditions: Player 2 brings 0 units to Location 2
Triggers: Move all units owned by Current player (Player 1, 3 and 4) to Location 3 (Lane 3)
However, moving from 3 to 4 does not work. Can someone help me with this?

i cant understand what youre trying to do..

can u post a screenshot or a more detailed explanation please?

i kind of get you want something to change lanes.. if theyre not there or something..

Are you trying to make a line tower defense (I only got a little of your explanation, but I took a look at your siggy)

All my current 'help me please' topics are related to my Line Tower D..
Ok I'll explain a bit simpler.
Lane A -> Lane B (Works Fine)
Lane A -> Lane B -> Lane C (Units SHOULD be moving down the lane but they keep stopping as if though they are getting the command to stop)
Lane A -> Lane B -> Lane C -> Lane D __

I want the units to keep circulating... hope you get what I'm trying to say...

Try using Player 12 does command players there. Also, each trigger must be under a player that is still in the game. If your triggers were for player 2, well, player 2 is gone so his/her triggers won't run.

When the player leaves it belongs to P12. So, thats why your triggers doesnt work. Try to change all players in your triggers that has to do with switching lanes to P12.

are you trying to make it where
each player has a little strip

units go through p1's

then go to p2's

then to p3's

then finally p4's

but if like p2 is banned

you want it to go to

p1 to p3 instead?

Yes! Finally someone who understands me! That's what I need...

You said the units stop when you try to move them, correct?

This is most likely due to the fact that their destination location is filled or impassible, and they cannot be moved.

Are you sure that you are trying to move all the units to the correct location? Double check to make sure your destination location is right




If you do not get this to work, you could do alternate triggers like this, once units get to the end of path 1:

Player: the computer.

If P2 commands atleast 1 unit, move all unit at end of path 1 to start of path 2.
If P2 commands exactly 0 unit and P3 commands atleast 1 unit, move all any unit for current player from end of path 1 to start of path 3.
If P2 and P3 command 0 units and P4 commands atleast 1 unit, move all unit at the end of path 1 to the start of path 4.


Just an idea

Im not sure how to do the trigger(s) exactly but

i think its going have something with "if player 2 doesnt own a unit" skip the units to p3's strip..

er you might just have to mess with it

That's exactly what happened, and no, the location is correct

I had the same idea, but I can't find the right conditions

im sure having it just going through each line wont be THAT much of a problem

Yea, switching to first lane isn't hard but switching directly to second lane isn't

I included the conditions in my post.

Conditions:
If P2 commands atleast 1 unit,
Actions:
move all unit at end of path 1 to start of path 2.

Conditions:
If P2 commands exactly 0 unit and P3 commands atleast 1 unit,
Actions:
move all any unit for current player from end of path 1 to start of path 3.

Conditions:
If P2 and P3 command 0 units and P4 commands atleast 1 unit,
Actions:
move all unit at the end of path 1 to the start of path 4.

I hope that clears it up for you.

As for your current triggers: What player do you have them under? All of these triggers should be under the computer if you use "Current Player," which you mentioned you did.

I made the same trigger for each player (different player settings and locations of course) but those didn't work.. I'll try yours.

So i'm borred now class was canceled...

I see two large potential problems. First is your trigger order, you need to make sure that it is continously moved from one to the next (move to slot 3 then slot 4)

And the second is the player who owns the triggers. You probolly have at least one computer but if your using p12 units for the enemy or some crap like that make all the triggers owned by all the human players instead.

Trigger

Players:

¤ Player 8

Conditions:

¤ Player 1 commands exactly 0 men

¤ Comp brings at least one men to P1Start

Actions:

¤ Move all men owned by Comp at P1Start to P2Start

¤ Preserve Trigger

Trigger

Players:

¤ Player 8

Conditions:

¤ Player 2 commands exactly 0 men

¤ Comp brings at least one men to P2Start

Actions:

¤ Move all men owned by Comp at P2Start to P3Start

¤ Preserve Trigger

Trigger

Players:

¤ Player 8

Conditions:

¤ Player 3 commands exactly 0 men

¤ Comp brings at least one men to P3Start

Actions:

¤ Move all men owned by Comp at P3Start to P4Start

¤ Preserve Trigger

If your spawning men at EVERY start then you will need a trigger to move units from P4>P1 and then copy all the triggers I have again, So you will have the same set both above and below the P4>P1 trigger. If your only spawning them at P1's start location then what i have listed will work.

PS. Of course adjust this for how many players you have.

That should do it for ya, if doesn't then you have left something important out of your description.

Ok, but what if I don't want my units to spawn at my own lane?

You mean, you want

Trigger

Players:

¤ Player 8

Conditions:

¤ Player 1 brings at least 1 men to 'p1 start'

Actions:

¤ move all men at 'p1 start' to 'p2 start'

¤ preserve trigger

etc?

However, the 'men' will include my builder.. something which I don't want.. should I make a trigger to just skip from P4 to P2 for red, P1 to P3 for blue and etc? I think it might work

Your suggestion should work if you modify the previous triggers to only work for the appropriate players,
But if your builder isn't allowed into the 'start area', then simply add the action "move 'builder' from 'p# start' to 'p# area'" to handle that as well in the same trigger.
