The computer won't kill his own unit.

He's saying that you're creating a Zergling for Player 3 to kill, but the Zergling is owned by Player 3. Thus, Player 3 cannot kill the Zergling.

I think both would work but I've never used that trigger. It seems logical either way would work.

The perfect system basicly works by forcing a computer to keep up with you in terms of the number of kills. Then it detects when you get a kill when you bypass the computer. Afterwards it gives you the benifit (1 mineral) and then lets the computer have another kill.

For multiple players, each player must kill one additional unit whenever any other player kills one inorder to keep the value tied with all the human players.

(side note: If you control the same amount of kills as another player then you will meet the "most kills" condition. The computer player is intended to stay 1 point ahead of the human players except it doesn't not have any triggers to benifit from having the most.)


A kill trigger wouldn't work because the player would not get a kill.

You need to create the unit for an enemy, so the computer will attack it.

Is it just me or is this system constantly poping out for probelms.. It's a basic trigger if only people could try and understand it instead of just copying it.

Here, I can't spell this out any clearer.

Player 3 MUST KILL a zergling.
Not Player 2. Not player 8.
Create the Zergling for another player so that Player 3 will kill it.

I sent one there and they said that someone already had one similar. But I looked at it, it was way different. It works sooo good, every 100 kills you may lose 1, thats how good it is! I cant send you the triggers yet because I am at school but when I get home I will send you the exact copy because I dont want to miss anything.

¤ Create 1 Zerg Zergling at -Player 3- for ANY PLAYER THAT PLAYER 3 IS NOT ALLIED TO. Apply props: 1% hp and burrowed.

I really can't spell this out any more for you.

Rofl. Basically, you need the computer player to kill another player (or computer) that's not allied to it.

It took me forever to figure it all out before, but how does it work again? I mean, how do I know what's being killed?

EDIT

OH YEAH... i have to create one for thing being killed.... so when it detects the kill, it'll do, for example, my KILL CASH ZERGLING set of triggers...


double-decker edit....

Wait, so if I killed something, the other players and the computer would need to kill something as well, right? If so, what if there are no other players?

Edit again...
Eto... the computer needs to keep up with me or be 1 ahead of me? If 1 ahead, doesn't that mean it needs to kill one of every cashable unit before the game can start?

The zergling created at each pylon should be for a player that all players, including the unused computer, are hostile to. (The idea is that they will kill the zergling, eventually putting everyone on the same kill count except the computer who has one extra).

A few more things:

Your first trigger is for player 3, but your last trigger mentions player 5...

And now having thought about it for a while, I think that the tutorial is actually wrong to tell you to add an additional death count for the computer (p5) in the last trigger, since p5 (or in your case it's probably p3) will get one from adding a death for All players anyway.

Also, the last trigger shouldn't be for All players, rather "all players except p5" - p5 shouldn't get rewarded for having the most kills, the system is designed that p5 should always end up with the most kills.

You will need two triggers for this effect to occur!

You will need one location for these triggers: Location "Civs" This is where the civilians spawn for the player to use or buy a unit with!


Trigger 1

Trigger

Description:

Civilians for Kills Trigger #1

Players:

¤ Players you want to receive Civilians

Conditions:

¤ Current Player Kill Score At Least 1

Actions:

¤ Modify Resources for Current Player Add 1 Vespane Gas

¤ Modify Score for Current Player Add 1 Custom

¤ Modify Score for Current Player Set to 0 Kills

¤ Preserve Trigger

Trigger 2

Trigger

Description:

Civilians for Kills Trigger #2

Players:

¤ Players you want to receive Civilians

Conditions:

¤ Current Accumulates At Least 15 Vespane Gas (can use any number)

Actions:

¤ Create 1 Civilian at Civs for Current Player

¤ Modify Resources for Current Player Subtract 15 Vespane Gas (same number used in conditions)

¤ Preserve Trigger

With this trigger make sure you use Hyper Triggers, without these the trigger may skip a few kills. You may lose one kill or so at most without them. Not that big of a deal! But over time say you have received 15 civilians, you would have received 16!

Just change all of the civlians to minerals!

7-7, that's not the system being asked about.
