How to: Terrain Kill with Changeable "Tightness"

I will provide a test map instead of showing pictures for each part of the triggers, cause its simpler and less cluttered.
Here are the steps to set it up:


1.First go to the variables list in the trigger editor, and add the following variables:

2. Place a region somewhere on your path, making sure it is fully on the path:

3. Create a Variables trigger, where at map initialization you do 3 things:
- Add all of your hero units to the unit group Units.
- Set your BugDistance variable to whatever # you want (could be done when creating the variable if preferred).
- Set your PathTerrain variable to the region you placed in step #2, identifying what the path terrain-type will be.

4. Create the Terrain Kill trigger, which runs every 0.05 seconds and kills the hero if it is more than BugDistance away from the path:

5. Things to note:
- If your path changes terrain-type during the maze, be sure to add a region on the new path terrain and set PathTerrain accordingly.
- Since this is based on checking the terrain of the path only, your death terrains can change without affecting the triggers.
- If the picture quality is very bad, just open the map below. Triggers are all in it.



Here is the test map, run it and you can set the BugDistance in the game itself. Instructions on doing so are in the loading screen.

i dont understand BUGGABLE ?

i believe he means NON super tight

I changed the title so its easier to understand.

Thats pretty impressive, when I have more time ill test to see how flexible/reliable it really is

But from the looks of the trigger it should work perfectly

Great Job and thanks for sharing it

That is pretty cool, but what when u want to change the **thickness** of your path?
do u have to create a series of different varibles and terrain kill triggers and turn them on and off varying from your thickness?

Blood, just change that BugDistance variable in a trigger whenever you want it changed..

I'm currently using this terrain system b4 it was released to this forum. It work's perfectly and i recommend it if your lazy to not do regions. I recommend a 48.30 For "BugDistance"

oh i understand

k torch that depends i was messing with it and 48 is way too much for a land maze maybe for an ice maze cause like 64 makes so you can cross 1 squares distance

arun thats long
i need ur hlp!

The only problem with this, is you can only use 1 tile! But its an easy fix. just change this

• 
  If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  If - Conditions
  Or - Any (Conditions) are true
  Conditions
  (Terrain type at XPosition[1]) Equal to PathTerrain[1]
  (Terrain type at XPosition[1]) Equal to PathTerrain[2]
  (Terrain type at XPosition[1]) Equal to PathTerrain[3]
  Then - Actions
  Set PathBool = True
  Else - Actions

Therefore allowing multiple terrain types.

its tft only

everybody discard this topic! terrain kill fails!
