ok im making a bound and its a really long obstacle and i cant fit all of the actions in it. how do i do a continuous trigger so that obstacle runs on 2 triggers?

P.S. Dont floud this topic with or anything related tho those

switches.

Trigger

Conditions:

¤ Switch x is cleared.

¤ (Insert conditions for bound obstacle)

Actions:

¤ (insert explosions)

¤ Set Switch x.

Trigger

Conditions:

¤ (Insert conditions for bound obstacle)

¤ Switch x is set.

Actions:

¤ (insert more explosions)

¤ Clear Switch x.

well this is the trigger i have

Trigger

Description:

Obstacle 2

Players:

¤ Player 8

Conditions:

¤ Switch 2 is set

Actions:

¤ Then i have the lots of explosions

¤ and i ran out of room

so now i need to know how to connect this trigger to another trigger thats the second part of the obstacle so i cna go onto my next obstacle

Edit: in the first trigger whhy is it switch X is cleared? i have switch X is set

Why not just divide it somewhere and make it two seperate spots?

because if i split the obstacle it would screw up mine and jamals2fat's design

For switch x, use a different switch from the one you're triggering an obstacle from.

shiz i knew jamals shouldnt of set like 350 switches before we did the obstacle!

Here's one way to string together multiple triggers.

Trigger

Conditions:

¤ Player has suffered exactly 1 death of unit.

Actions:

¤ Do some obstacle stuff here.

¤ Modify death count for Player: Add 1 for unit.

Trigger

Conditions:

¤ Player has suffered exactly 2 death of unit.

Actions:

¤ Do more obstacle stuff here.

¤ Modify death count for Player: Add 1 for unit.

Trigger

Conditions:

¤ Player has suffered exactly 3 death of unit.

Actions:

¤ Do remaining obstacle stuff here.

¤ Modify death count for Player: Set to 0 for unit.

Correction:

Trigger

Conditions:

¤ Player has suffered exactly 1 death of unit.

Actions:

¤ Do more obstacle stuff here.

¤ Modify death count for Player: Add 1 for unit.

OK so wat do u sugest i do, as in wats the ezest and shortes way to go?

He already had that before it...

Simplest way to do it? Well, the way people said it.. At the end of the first trigger set any unused switch, or death count or whatever, then make a second trigger which has that death count, switch or whatever set then continues the obstacle stuff.

ok do i put a preserve trigger at the end of the first trigger or the second or both?

ADDITION:
ok do i put a preserve trigger in the 1st trigger or the 2nd trigger or both

you should presearve both.
I had that problem too. I was too lazy and just put all the kills on one trigger, and create as many lurkers that are burrowed. then the lurkers would die, but it would not go like "unit not placeable" things
Wait, you are making explosions right?

kaboom, i do not think he has any switches left

Trigger

Description:

First Part

Players:

¤ the obstacle

Conditions:

¤ Deaths of a player is 1

Actions:

¤ The obstacle

¤ presearve trigger

Trigger

Description:

second part

Players:

¤ the obstacle player

Conditions:

¤ Deaths of the player above is 2

Actions:

¤ The other part of the obstacle

¤ presearve trigger

it is the same thing except

so use death counts as switches. its just as easy.

He edited his post

ADDITION:
Kenoli's way won't work now, because it'll never meet the condition of 1 death for unit.

You set it to 1 to start the obstacle, durr?

Oh, to make it go as though it were with one trigger with preserve working normally, you will need to make sure that trigger 1 needs the death count to be at 0, so it doesn't go off at same time as trigger 2. Trigger 2 will set the death count back to 0 at the end, so it will get set to trigger 1.

Basically like this:

Trigger

Description:

Trigger 1

Conditions:

¤ Whatever makes obstacle start

¤ Deathcount 1 is at 0

Actions:

¤ Obstacle stuff here

¤ Add 1 for deathcount 1

¤ Preserve Trigger

Trigger

Description:

Trigger 2

Conditions:

¤ Deathcount 1 is at 1.

Actions:

¤ Obstacle stuff here.

¤ Set deathcount 1 to 0.

¤ Preserve Trigger.

Im terriblly sorry but, I didn't fully read all the triggers up there...

Why just two triggers? Why not many?


Usually in obsticles that I have that are very long, I split my explosions up depending on what fits best.


You could "bridge" your triggers together, like how they explained above. This is when the trigger just needs that tiny extra "umph" to fit everything in.

Or you could use switches per explosion interval.

Lemmie explain.

Say you have an ob that goes up and down across 10 squares.
(ya know, the ling goes up and down while the whole thing blows up then down).

Well, I would just use a switch PER explosion interval.

So have switch1, when set, blows up the entire top,
and switch2, when set, blows up the entire bottom.

Magic!

Then you could just have the actual ob trigger go:

Set switch2, wait, set switch2, wait, preserve. Done!

Really simplifies your work and gets you out of the glitchiness of bridging two triggers together.

You can use deathcounts if you want...

Loll.... and Moos just set switch 51 or something... 51-255 aren't used.. just like write a list of what triggers are used so we don't use them twice..

Ok ty guys i got it to work (well actually jamals did it )
