This trigger is exactly what i need,thank you very much.
Do you have any ways to set name for the units those be trained by the the building?If this effect can be achieved, your trigger can also make units work on the training units.

I got a new problem with this trigger"Move from area to near unit"
The problem is whatever i type on the approx radius of target unit,when i test it,the approx radius of target unit is the same as the radius of the center unit.
I think this trigger should be wrong somewhere，can you help me to fix it please?

#1:
are you sure it is case sensitive (radius/Radius)?
check ..../user/documents/my games/Age of Empires 3\Trigger3/trigtemp.xs to find out how your code is interpreted

#2:
trQuestVarSetFromRand("wagogehmeas",-%radius%,%radius%, true);

#3
storing the ContextPlayer is unnecessary and a old AOM behaviour

<Command>trQuestVarSet("fhweaohpgpagowhwa", xsGetContextPlayer());</Command>
...
<Command>xsSetContextPlayer(trQuestVarGet("fhweaohpgpagowhwa"));</Command>

Is this the correct Player?

<Command>xsSetContextPlayer(0);</Command>

Here is the result in the trigtemp.xs,but i don't know what it means.
Maybe it isn' case sensitive.This trigger is not written by me.I don't know how to fix it.
I request for your help.

replace all instances of Radius (not radius) by another string like targetradius or Radius2

trHasTownCenter
Check to see if a player has at least one town center
playerID

you may want to use the "units in area"-condition with a large radius and set the towncenter as counted unit

Can I (and how do I) use the condition 'tech status equals' in a custom trigger?

I want to activate another trigger when a tech (age) has become active

Not sure why you would need a custom trigger for that, just add a condition manually?

if(trTechStatusCheck(<player>, <techid>, <0=Unobtainable,1=Obtainable,2=Active>)){

}

You need to be careful when adding conditions to custom effect triggers, though... the condition in the trigger editor takes priority before any conditions in the effect are checked.

Can you let your trigger"Protounits work on Unit *TL*" be able to set the range of the working units?I want to make the unit type in area working on the unit,not all the same unit type in the map.
When i set the unit type for seltter,target unit for the mill,it makes all the seltters in the map working on the mill.I think it needs a range limit.

I got two problems with my personal modified trigger"Units in area work on unit2"
I have added the function to modify the radius but there are still some small problems.
First problem is when the center unit is dead, the units in death center unit area are still be able to work on the unit,I don't know how to make units in area don't execute when the center unit is dead.
The second problem is I don't know how to set inclube center unit or not.I saw your trigger has this function but I don'know how to set, I need your help.

Hello guys !
This is my request :

I want to make a trigger similar to Dullahan's AI (by musketeer925) in War of the triple alliance.
Details :
* I select the unit with center unit inside editor.
* When playing the scenario, the unit scouts firstly. Then it looks for an enemy unit and attacks it when it is found and close enough, but if it is out of range, the unit does a simple attack move. When the attacker has less than 35 percent of its maximum hitpoints, make it to runaway and looking for a healing area (let's take a field hospital as example). If that area exists, go there but if not, runaway farther. When the unit has restored +75 percent of its hitpoints, redo scouting and attacks.
The idea is to make an AI for a single unit instead of a complete AI which controls a whole settlement. Do you have any suggestion to improve it (hit and run, taking inventory objects,... in other words: making a certain variable or whatever stuff which can be used to stop the "controller-trigger" so that the unit can do another stuff instead of constantly scouting and attacking, and another thing which can be used to use "controller-trigger" again)

I hope I will get a response very soon. Thank you very much !

Hi SkyOne,

I have to admit that request is pretty complicated. I don't really do much trigger development any more, and probably don't have time to do it for you. Maybe you could take a shot at modifying my old Dullahan trigger yourself?

I'd be happy to give some direction on that if you need further help.

Hello musketeer,

I am happy that you replied to my request yourself. Indeed I have already modified your trigger myself. But sometimes it doesn't work : the unit goes to the bottom of the map, the unit tries to attack enemy units when it runaways,... I am wondering what I have done wrong. Maybe I can write here the codes ? I will check it and return here after a few minutes.

EDIT:
So here are the codes, partly modified from yours:




//first, create useful variables and functions

vector v1 = cInvalidVector;

vector v2 = cInvalidVector;

int tempInteger = -1;





int getUnit(int unitTypeID = -1, int playerID = 1, vector center = cInvalidVector, int pos = 0)

{

          int ret = -1;

          xsSetContextPlayer(playerID);

          kbLookAtAllUnitsOnMap();

          for(unitQueryID=kbUnitQueryCreate("AllUnitsQuery");>5000){}

          kbUnitQuerySetPlayerID(unitQueryID, playerID);

          kbUnitQuerySetUnitType(unitQueryID, unitTypeID);

          kbUnitQuerySetState(unitQueryID, cUnitStateAlive);

          if (center != vector(-1,-1,-1))

          {

                    kbUnitQuerySetPosition(unitQueryID, center);

                    kbUnitQuerySetAscendingSort(unitQueryID, true);

          }

          kbUnitQueryResetResults(unitQueryID);

          if (kbUnitQueryExecute(unitQueryID)>0)

                    ret=kbUnitQueryGetResult(unitQueryID, pos);

          else

                    ret=-1;

          return(ret);

}





//then load ID of certain units

for (target=100000;>=-1){if(kbGetUnitTypeName(target)=="All") break;}

trQuestVarSet("AllUnitsQV", target);

for (fieldhospital=100000;>=-1){if(kbGetUnitTypeName(fieldhospital)=="FieldHospital") break;}

trQuestVarSet("FHQV", target);





//now make unit to attack

<Param name="DstPoint" dispName="X" varType="area">0</Param>

<Param name="Attacker" dispName="Attacker" varType="unit">default</Param>

for(i=8;>=1){if(((kbIsPlayerResigned(i)==false)||(kbHasPlayerLost(i)==false)) && (kbIsPlayerEnemy(i)==true) && (kbIsPlayerNeutral(i)==false) && (kbIsPlayerValid(i)==true)){break;}}

                    trUnitSelectByID(j);

@Mister SCP@Aizamk
Could someone help me to write the effect "Units in Area Work Units in Area"?
I don't know how to write the commands so I just write the param name.
I think this effect can be achieved because trUnitWork can work on the units those be created by Unit Create triggers.

<Effect name="Units in Area Work Units in Area">
<Param name="Player1" dispName="Source Player" VarType="string">1</Param>
<Param name="UnitType1" dispName="Source Unit Type" VarType="unittype">Unit</Param>
<Param name="SrcObject" dispName="$$22300$$Center Unit" VarType="unit">default</Param>      
<Param name="Dist1" dispName=" SourceRadius" VarType="string">10</Param>
<Param name="Player" dispName="Target Player" VarType="string">1</Param>
<Param name="UnitType" dispName="Target Unit Type" VarType="unittype">Unit</Param>
<Param name="TargetObject" dispName="$$22300$$Center Unit" VarType="unit">default</Param>
<Param name="Dist" dispName="Target Radius" VarType="string">10</Param>

Hi all, so I'm stuck on a function that aoe and any of the added scanerio editors don't offer.. Its actually quite simple but I can't find the value.

I want a simple trigger that "condition" = if player free units is more than 0, or more than anything, then "effect" do something..

The free units variable is actually kept track by something in the game because POST GAME charts show that in the resource section, its at the end "free units"

So something has to keep track of this. Free units are anything you recieve from treasures, home city shippments, or yes, the moesbar hack which I'm trying to detect by implementing this code.

I went through the game files I cannot find the ID of this value that keeps track of shit which is more so annoying. Can anyone help?

Free Unit Count
Show how many free units a player recieved during live game
greater than or less than or equal to


Thanks so much if someone can just include the code snippet I can just copy and paste it into my scnaerio tool files

Could a trigger be made to show a QV on the screen somehow? I am trying to use QV to hold a variable that represents a new resource.

use:

Send Spoofed Chat To Player As String

with:
-0
-PlayerId
-This is My Var: "+1*trQuestVarGet("MyVar")+"

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6mh4r4ew8nwulxn/Screenshot 2018-10-17 16.38.35.png?dl=0

Is there any documentation for the syntax of the messages so I can add more variables to one message?

well it is a simple string. Values can be add by using "+AnyFunction+". If you want to round the value it use "+1*AnyFunction+"

So to sum it up: you can add multiple values.
This is My Var: "+1*trQuestVarGet("MyVar")+" And this my second one "+1*trQuestVarGet("My2Var")+"

There is only one limit, this is the textlength of your parameter but luckily even this can be bypassed (shameless advertising) with the help of the SCP 6.0 Triggers ^{or any other triggerpack that allows you to build Strings (adding two lines in one string will do the trick)}

Hi everyone. What trigger would you use if you want to limit a player to the fortress age? The only one I found is to forbid its available age 2 politicians as a tech. Is there a shorter way?

no
