Locust Trigger

Is there a way to make everything locust with a trigger? So I dont have to turn a TFT map into RoC?

P.S. Dark.. did u.. get on.. PiNNo.. on these.. forums..!? Cause I haven't been on it in forever and I notice someone has been using it..

Probably too complicated for you if you're phased by the simplicity of converting TFT->ROC

1. nomor, why are you such a dick to me.. only.
2. i cant download the program needed to convert the map because I have a Mac. I made my own Locust trigger that actually did work with the collision but it crashed the game, thats why I asked for help.

From Hive Workshop --> Tools

(For Mac) DropMPQ 0.7.1
(For Mac) MPQ Extractor 1.0
(For Mac) MPQ FS 0.3.3
(For Mac) MPQDraft 1.1



Some peoples feelings are hurt so easily ;/

dont need that now after an hour or so i made a successfull locust trigger.

Dont forget to import AbilityData.slk or locust wont show up ingame.

Converting TFT to ROC isnt that easy

Then you must be doing it some very complicated way. If even the 11 year old euros like blackdoom and micola can do it, then anybody can. Its just a drag + drop operation..

Code:

    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Trigger - Add to Collision <gen> the event (Unit - A unit comes within 50.00 of (Picked unit))

Collision trig:

Code:

Events
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Demon Hunter
    Actions
        Unit - Kill (Triggering unit)

Ive actually never done it, or even really looked into it
The 1 time i thought about doing it i figured you would have to transfer all the TFT stuff into the map itself in order for it to be read
Manually doing that seemed like a pain in the ass
It wasnt my map and it wasnt like the maker ask me to convert it to ROC so i decided not to waste my time on it

Did you give them locust at map initialization?
Locusted units have always been weird with triggers, you might have to give them locust at .01 elapsed time, or any time after map init
You also may have to take away full locust, by that i mean use the type of locust, that maps with demonhunters that have locust have

And that trigger is pretty nice nomor, 1 trigger for all the collision instead of 11

if u give them aloc at 0.01 it crashes the map with severe lagocity.
even w/o locust the collision isnt working..

Whats your locust trigger look like?
Ive given locust via a trigger to all the units in the entire map all at the same time in 1 trigger with no noticeable lag or crashes

Ive just tested nomors collision trigger to make sure it works without locust and it does
Just follow what he said and make sure you select the right trigger to add the event to

i promise you ive done anything in his trigger.. it wont work for me even w/o locust..
my locust trigger is just
Event: Map Init
Action: Blabla(B/s Jass talk) Aloc (blabla)

But on one of my levels i have units spawning constantly.. so i think constantly giving locust every 0.01 or so lags the fuck out of the game, i think thats the reason but idk why the collision trigger wont work :S

I predict that within 24 hours, pinks is going to write the following phrase:



i'm an idiot. sorry for wasting your time. it works. thanks aton

Uhm.. here is my original trigger..
function Trig_Collis2_Func001A takes nothing returns nothing
call TriggerRegisterUnitInRangeSimple( gg_trg_Collision1, 50.00, GetEnumUnit() )
call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Aloc', GetEnumUnit() )
endfunction

function Trig_Collis2_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call ForGroupBJ( GetUnitsOfPlayerAll(Player(11)), function Trig_Collis2_Func001A )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Collis2 takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Collis2 = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerRegisterTimerEventPeriodic( gg_trg_Collis2, 0.01 )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Collis2, function Trig_Collis2_Actions )
endfunction

Me, holy and drick tested my map and it literally lagged us out of warcraft III.. Sooo I made LocustCheck trigger that looks like this..
function Trig_LocustCheck_Func001Func001001 takes nothing returns boolean
return ( UnitHasBuffBJ(GetEnumUnit(), 'Aloc') == false )
endfunction

function Trig_LocustCheck_Func001A takes nothing returns nothing
if ( Trig_LocustCheck_Func001Func001001() ) then
call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Aloc', GetEnumUnit() )
else
call DoNothing( )
endif
endfunction

function Trig_LocustCheck_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call ForGroupBJ( GetUnitsOfPlayerAll(Player(11)), function Trig_LocustCheck_Func001A )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_LocustCheck takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_LocustCheck = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerRegisterTimerEventPeriodic( gg_trg_LocustCheck, 0.10 )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_LocustCheck, function Trig_LocustCheck_Actions )
endfunction

Whenever I use LocustCheck trigger online bymyself, it doesnt lag me like your Loc+Collision did and it completely worked. However, I then posted it on epicwar.com, and gave it to minitony. When he hosted it, the Loc trigger completely stopped working. Help please???

i merged ur 2 posts together
same with nomor
thats why it dosn't look like u did

oh i didnt notice that uptop lol u did my bad

I figured out the problem.

noob maze name = mass lag

-_- <3 but seriously please? >.> ill fxing change the name if u fix it xD

there are a bunch of problems with your triggers, the biggest one being that you add locust and collision to the brown units every 0.1 seconds.

It lags because groups lag. Every time you do "pick all units owned by player..." it creates a unit group.

So instead of running that trigger 10 times a second, just run it once at map initialization.
then, run individual triggers for adding locust + collision to "last created unit" every time you spawn a unit that wasn't there at map init.
