[General] No event

What happens when a trigger has no event? Does it do it as map init or once that game starts?

deathismyfriend · May 3, 2013

It only fires when there is an event. All triggers are registered on map init. In this case it will fire only when u use a trigger run

It won't do anything. Another trigger can tell it to run though.

If a trigger doesn't have event in the trigger window, it doesn't necessarily mean it has no event - the event for that trigger may be add in another trigger via Trigger - Add new event action.

You're technically right in a sense, but the way you said it is confusing as hell.. XD

How Is his explanation confusing ? It was right on the point and easy to understand.

What the..? If a trigger does not have an event in the trigger window, then it really has no event at all unless you add in another trigger using the Add New Event.

Like in JASS:

JASS:

function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call MeleeStartingVisibility(  )
    call MeleeStartingHeroLimit(  )
    call MeleeGrantHeroItems(  )
    call MeleeStartingResources(  )
    call MeleeClearExcessUnits(  )
    call MeleeStartingUnits(  )
    call MeleeStartingAI(  )
    call MeleeInitVictoryDefeat(  )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Melee_Initialization takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Melee_Initialization = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Melee_Initialization, function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions )
endfunction

See there are only actions. No events.

events in jass register an event only to one function although it is possible to register the same event to multiple functions
it the case of converting gui written events to jass the events are written in a function that runs on map initialization, in other words a function that does not require events in order to execute its actions, so when this function runs it registers the events to the specific function in the event native or bj 's argument

JASS:

 call TriggerRegisterGameStateEventTimeOfDay( function_name, EQUAL, 12 )
    call TriggerRegisterGameLoadedEventBJ( function_name )
    call TriggerRegisterGameEvent( function_name, EVENT_GAME_TOURNAMENT_FINISH_NOW )

the name of the function that will run when the event happens is "function_name" so if time of day becomes equal to 12, function_name will execute all actions in it.

map init event should not be required if you are initializing anything in a function that does not require an event

i know right lol

But triggers with no events can also run with the help of other trigger when they are forcefully run with

Trigger - Run *Trigger name*

Almia · May 4, 2013

^ He just wants to ask whether a trigger with no event runs automatically.

Just say no.
