Hi all!
Need help
How to create button which turns off when porter starting to build barracks and another barracks cannot be build
For example: your porter starting to create barracks and other barracks cannot be build because you do not have resources to build barracks again
At this moment i cant press button to create barracks again

MaxSimultaneousOfType = 1 is not working on this situation because you can build another building when one of porters creating structure

I dunno if this would help you, and it's kinda overcomplicated, but maybe try using pings that grant and remove upgrades to the builder. For instance, let say that the button for building the barracks is Command_PorterConstructSpecialBarracks, in the part that says Options, add the NEED_UPGRADE flag and

 

NeededUpgrade = UpgradeForJust1Barracks 

 

Also have a ping that is a starting unit that passively grants that upgrade to all porters. Also use the CommandTrigger in Command_PorterConstructSpecialBarracks and trigger a commandbutton that creates a ping that has the RemoveUpgradeUpgrade Module.

 

Or something like that. As I said, is kinda overcomplicated and I'm not sure if it would work. Also, unless you edit each map, the AI won't build it.

Wouldn't you prefer an OCL power that creates that barracks? Like the Dwarven Citadel?

Hi

Can you answer more concrete about this: (Also have a ping that is a starting unit that passively grants that upgrade to all porters. Also use the CommandTrigger in Command_PorterConstructSpecialBarracks and trigger a commandbutton that creates a ping that has the RemoveUpgradeUpgrade Module.)

Hmmm, it's a mess I know. Try this: 

1.- Make the construction of the barracks trigger another commandbutton (like the elven gifts spell book power)

2.- Make the triggered button cast a ping that has a leadership bonus (like a statue), but instead of giving extra XP or damage, have something like this:

ModifierList GlorfindelBladeOfPurity

Category = SPELL

ModelCondition = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

End <-- This should only affect porters

3.- In the command button that creates  have this restriction:

DisableOnModelCondition = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

4.- Make sure the ping dies as soon as it's not required, like this:

Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_LifetimeUpdate

MinLifetime = TimeRequiredToBuildSpecialBarracks

MaxLifetime = TimeRequiredToBuildSpecialBarracks

End

5.- Have the MaxSimultaneousOfType = 1 in the building

 

If there's any doubt of how to make a ping, check this tutorial by Radspakr, it's a very useful one.

Hi again, thanks for answer)

ok im create in commandbutton.ini
 

CommandButton Command_PorterConstructMordorFortress

  Command          = DOZER_CONSTRUCT

  Object           = MordorFortress

  TextLabel        = CONTROLBAR:ConstructMordorFortress

  ButtonImage      = BMFortress

  ButtonBorderType = BUILD 

  DescriptLabel    = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipConstructMordorFortress

  Radial           = Yes  

End

 

CommandButton Command_PurchasePorterConstructMordorFortress

Command = SPECIAL_POWER

      SpecialPower = SpecialAbilityMorPing

ButtonBorderType = ACTION;UPGRADE 

    ButtonImage = SBGood_ElvenGifts 

    ;Science = SCIENCE_ElvenGifts

    TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ElvenGifts

DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipElvenGifts

DisableOnModelCondition = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

;; Trigger this command button when the purchase science is activated

CommandTrigger = Command_PorterConstructMordorFortress

End

Next im create in system.ini

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Object MorPing

 

;;;;EvaEnemyUnitSightedEvent = None ; Not a real unit

 

; ***DESIGN parameters ***

EditorSorting   = SYSTEM

KindOf = NO_COLLIDE IMMOBILE UNATTACKABLE IGNORE_FOR_VICTORY IGNORE_FOR_EVA_SPEECH_POSITION MOVE_ONLY ;INERT

ThreatLevel = 0

 

; *** ENGINEERING Parameters ***

Body = ActiveBody ModuleTag_01

MaxHealth = 999999

InitialHealth = 999999

End

 

Behavior = LifetimeUpdate ModuleTag_LifetimeUpdate

MinLifetime = 90000

MaxLifetime = 90000

End

 

Behavior = AttributeModifierAuraUpdate ModuleTag_TroopBonus

      StartsActive = Yes ;If no, requires upgrade to turn on.

      BonusName = MordorLeadership

      RefreshDelay = 1000

      Range = 200

      ObjectFilter = NONE +MordorPorter

      End 

End

Next AttributeModifier.ini

ModifierList MordorLeadership

Category = SPELL

ModelCondition = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

End

In objectcreationlist.ini

ObjectCreationList OCL_SpecialAbilityMorPing

  CreateObject

    ObjectNames = MorPing

    Count = 1

  End

End

 

And Specialpower.ini

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SpecialPower SpecialAbilityMorPing

  Enum       = SPECIAL_ARROW_STORM

  ReloadTime = 1000

End

 

This is correct or not?

I mean, you're on the right track, I think, but there are 2 things you might wanna change. First off, I don't know what are your intentions with the Command_PurchasePorterConstructMordorFortress button. What I'm suggesting, is that you edit the button that builds the special barracks an add the line "commandtrigger", the triggered button should be an ocl creation, like the one used by the Ivory Tower special power. You should create the object (ping) via a triggered button.

 

Also, make the range of the leadership bonus bigger, like 99999 or something like that, so that every porter on the map is affected by the ping's aura.

 

Good luck.

Hi Malvack!
Sorry for the long answer and thanks for reply
I tried it and I got it. this spawn object (ping) with leadership and when this object stay alive porter commandset toggle)
I also add double commandset to porter (one with fortress and second commandset dont have fortress)
 

CommandSet MordorPorterCommandSet

1  = Command_TogglePorterCommandSet 

      2  = Command_Stop

3  = Command_PorterExtinguishFire

4  = Command_PorterConstructMordorSlaughterHouse

5  = Command_PorterConstructMordorLumberMill

6  = Command_PorterConstructMordorOrcPit

7  = Command_PorterConstructMordorHaradrimPalace

8  = Command_PorterConstructMordorTrollCage

9  = Command_PorterConstructMordorSiegeWorks

10  = Command_PorterConstructMumakilPen

11 = Command_ConstructMordorTavern

12= Command_PorterconstructMordorBattleTower

13= Command_PorterConstructMordorFortress

 

CommandSet MordorPorter2CommandSet

1  = Command_TogglePorterCommandSet 

      2  = Command_Stop

3  = Command_PorterExtinguishFire

4  = Command_PorterConstructMordorSlaughterHouse

5  = Command_PorterConstructMordorLumberMill

6  = Command_PorterConstructMordorOrcPit

7  = Command_PorterConstructMordorHaradrimPalace

8  = Command_PorterConstructMordorTrollCage

9  = Command_PorterConstructMordorSiegeWorks

10  = Command_PorterConstructMumakilPen

11 = Command_ConstructMordorTavern

12= Command_PorterconstructMordorBattleTower

 ; 12 = Command_PorterConstructMordorFortress

 

I think I understood correctly what you wanted to tell me)

[malvack]

Hmmm, that's not what I said, but it may work. Changing the commandset so only one porter have the building, could do the trick. 

Try it, and good luck
