Trigger Question Options

[Shakar]

Is there a way to make a trigger that gives players more money? Like, for example, let's say a train arrives at point A... It waits for a few seconds, then departs on it's usual routien. But when It stops at Point A, the player gets money. Is there a way to make a trigger like this?

unfortunately there is no direct way of giving a player money like that.
However the closest alternative would be to make a Loaded Truck come to a certain point and then self destruct. Then if you set it so that loaded trucks drop crates they will drop a crate which you can make it to always be money in the crate if you edit the crate rules on your map.

I would go into more depth and show the code but I don't have enough time as of right now. if you need to see what i mean for sure then check my Cliff's of Asvetia map as it has trucks that come by every so often that you can destroy and I had edited the crate rules so that only a few things happen and some of those happen more often.

If I Remeber Correctly, there Is no direct trigger to give a player more cash on Tiberian Sun, only Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge.
If you only want this for one map inparticular, then my option may not be what you'd want, but this is a suggestion:

Go Into your rules.ini, and search for, MultiplayerDefaults. When you've done that, create some tags like:

Money=10000
MaxMoney=30000

Money being the ammount that is set automaticaly, when you enter the skirmish options, and MaxMoney is the maximum ammount you can change it too manualy.

I've not much experience in this, so maybe this doesn't works.

How about placing an expensive dummy building, change the owner of the building to the player and make a trigger to sell the building.
Then the Player gets the money from the sold building.

well the only problem really with that LKO is that sure it would work fine on a SP map. but on a MP map it wouldn't work since on TS you can't 100% successfully tell it to give it to a certain player. The best you could do is say give it to Nod so if there are 2 Nods on the map then the map will IE as soon as the trigger fires.

it would go to the Nod highest on the color selection list.. but, if there were no nods, and a nod trigger, then it would IE
