New Item Buying System

.

kk, added globals. and tis teh first 4 letters of the items name right?

Not for everything. Some items have the same first 4 letters and Wc3 can't detect spaces in strings; you have to run a loop to check that it does not = all 26 letters. I just used elseifs for whatever doesn't. It's in the buy event script above.



-edit We'll also need the global "button array udg_BuyAll"

kk, added the global. and kk

Ok, It's finally ready for testing. Now I just need the raw unit type id of the carrier squigs from you.

right, need to add that in still XD just a summon spell that summons a unit with an inventory right?

Ok, I've corrected a lot of the bugs that showed up and updated the code in the op post.

Some items were being skipped because it was increasing digit 4 by 1 right after I set it to A or 0 thus skipping right over them.
Btw, the power weapon recipe name needs to be changed from "Power Weapon Recipie" to "Power Weapon Recipe". ( Found that because it didn't end in A or O lol.)

I fixed some other minor issues too with text messages showing when they shouldn't.

Overall, I think the system working and ready to go into the release version of the map. Although, we should definitely still do more playtesting with it to be sure.

I'll continue to improve and update the system as I get time.

Also, don't forget to add your additions again.
O, can you give me the store rect name for each team and the squig unit type id; so, I can put them into the system?

-edit Almost forgot, we need a new string array, "udg_ChatString"

its udg_PlayerCourier[pid] btw for the squig.

and why does the recipe need to be changed?

and how about i post my version of the system, so u can add in my changes, so i dont have to change it *every* time u update

Good idea, I'll add in the squig and rect changes.

Also, FYI, the "GetUnitWithinRange" native stops giving compile errors if you save the map, exit editor, and save again.

it wouldnt let me save thats the thing

and its gg_rct_Spawn1(humans) and Spawn2 (orks)

i did this

Code:

    //if triggering player is in team 1 but not within 600 range team 1's shops
    if pid < 6 and IsUnitInRangeXY(udg_PlayerHero[pid], GetRectCenterX(gg_rct_Revive1), GetRectCenterY(gg_rct_Revive1), 800) == false and IsUnitInRangeXY(udg_PlayerCourier[pid], GetRectCenterX(gg_rct_Revive1), GetRectCenterY(gg_rct_Revive1), 800) == false then
        call DisplayTextToPlayer(p,0,0,"You can't buy anything if you're not at the shops")
        set cs =""
        set p = null
        return
    //if triggering player is in team 2 but not within 600 range of team 2's shops
    elseif pid > 6 and IsUnitInRangeXY(udg_PlayerHero[pid], GetRectCenterX(gg_rct_Revive2), GetRectCenterY(gg_rct_Revive2), 800) == false and IsUnitInRangeXY(udg_PlayerCourier[pid], GetRectCenterX(gg_rct_Revive2), GetRectCenterY(gg_rct_Revive2), 800) == false then
        call DisplayTextToPlayer(p,0,0,"You can't buy anything if you're not at the shops")
        set cs =""
        set p = null
        return
    endif

inlcuded bio-regeneration, and bio-mechanical limb

Code:


    // Bio-Mechanical limb
    elseif cs == "-b bmec" then
        set udg_BoughtItem[pid] = CreateItem('I01X',0,0)
    // Bio-Regeneration
    elseif cs == "-b breg" then
        set udg_BoughtItem[pid] = CreateItem('I029',0,0)
    // Mark of Chaos Undevided
    elseif cs == "-b mocu" then
        set udg_BoughtItem[pid] = CreateItem('I020',0,0)
    // Mark of Khorne
    elseif cs == "-b mok" then
        set udg_BoughtItem[pid] = CreateItem('I037',0,0)
    // Mark of Nurgle
    elseif cs == "-b mon" then
        set udg_BoughtItem[pid] = CreateItem('I035',0,0)
    // Mark of Slaanesh
    elseif cs == "-b mos" then
        set udg_BoughtItem[pid] = CreateItem('I033',0,0)
    // Mark of Tzeench
    elseif cs == "-b mot" then
        set udg_BoughtItem[pid] = CreateItem('I031',0,0)

I've updated op with the new code; try it out and see what you think.

I think the hotkeys are a major improvement.
