So, my map is going to be kind of a shooter (think sniper maps) where the players are allied with the enemy computer. The problem is, I can't get Raynor (marine) to shoot an ally. The trigger for allying to the enemy is as follows:
Trigger
Players

  • Force 1
  • Conditions

  • Force 1 has at least 1 opponents remaining in the game.
  • Actions

  • Set Force 1 to Ally.
  • Set Force 2 to Ally.
  • Set Force 3 to Ally.
  • Set Force 4 to Ally.
  • Preserve trigger.

  • When I try to attack, he'll get through the shooting animation, but no shots hit. Who knows what's up?

    When a player is constantly allied like that the shots (almost all everytime) don't hit, it has the same effect as a unit trying to hit a unit that's being constantly moved where he can't go. Try allying less frequently.

    I know, the condition should only re-ally when they set someone to enemy, but I'll try delaying the preserve anyway... It even did this when it only allied ONCE.

    Which is why delaying the preserve is just about the weirdest working solution ever. :dontgetit: Thanks, I guess? LOCK PL0X.

    It would seem to me that the trigger is running too often.
    Try having the trigger set the alliance status whenever FOES commands 1 whatever the target is to force locks. (the condition becomes true because the person unallied.)

    EDIT: This might be helpful for using the opponents condition:
    Quote
    This condition evaluates how many of the players are opponents of the trigger owner. By default, all of the other players are considered opponents. A player does not count as an opponent if either of the following conditions are met:

    · The player has been defeated. This condition only counts players that are still in the game.
    · The player is set for allied victory with the trigger owner, AND the player is set for allied victory with all other players set for allied victory with the trigger owner. (The enemy of an ally is still an enemy.)

    As a result, if opponents equals zero, all of remaining players are set for allied victory with each other. Use this condition with the Victory action to create a scenario that allows for allied victory.

    It would appear that you have to either use Allied Victory or Foes commanding conditions. Allying without allied victory is still considered an opponent, which causes the trigger to run.

    That wouldn't be caused by allying then and therefore be likely caused by constant moving, maybe you're just mistaken?.

    Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

    Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen
    [05:25 pm]
    Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
