[JASS] I need to mess up this code (really)

[KaiserG]

Yeah that's it, when this code is run I get a floating text on all the player's characters at the same time.

CODE

function CheckLowHeat takes nothing returns nothing
 local integer i = 0

 loop
    exitwhen (i>10)
    if ( udg_Status_Heat[i] <= 20.00 ) then
      call FloatingTxt("Im cold", udg_Survivor[i], 55, 55, 100)
    else
    endif
    set i=i+1
 endloop
endfunction

function CheckLowHunger takes nothing returns nothing
 local integer i = 0
 local timer time = CreateTimer()

 loop
    exitwhen (i>10)
    if ( udg_Status_Hunger[i] <= 20.00 ) then
      call FloatingTxt("Im hungry", udg_Survivor[i], 70, 70, 0)
    endif
    set i=i+1
 endloop
 // Wait again and check the Heat
 call TimerStart(time, 10, false, function CheckLowHeat)
endfunction

function CheckLowEnergy takes nothing returns nothing
 // Check the Energy
 local integer i = 0
 local timer time = CreateTimer()

 loop
    exitwhen (i>10)
    if ( udg_Status_Energy[i] <= 20.00 ) then
       call FloatingTxt("Im tired", udg_Survivor[i], 15, 15, 100)
    endif
    set i=i+1
 endloop
 // Wait and check the Hunger
 call TimerStart(time, 10, false, function CheckLowHunger)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_LowStats takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_LowStats = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventPeriodic( gg_trg_LowStats, 30.00 )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_LowStats, function CheckLowEnergy )
endfunction

What I would like, is that the messages show one apart from the other character if you get what I mean. Not at the same time. Like placing some waits inside the loops but thats exactly what I dont want to use, waits inside loops. Any ideas?

You could use a short timer and when the timer expires show the message. You could save the unit etc in a hashtable with the timers handle

 

[Bribe]

"I'm hungry\n"
"I'm tired\n"
"i'm cold\n"

Is that what you mean?

 

[KaiserG]

nah, if u can see, the code shows up the message for all the units inside the array. I would want to make the units in the array to randomly show "im hungry" on one, then after a little "im cold" on another one, but what i dont want is having all the units matching the condition showing up i.e. "im cold" at the same time. just a little delay would be nice to make it look better.

So the problem is that you don't want to use a "Wait" inside of a loop?

As Axarion said, you can use a hash-table to attach the necessary data to a timer and execute the timer on a periodic interval; each interval would increment an integer counter and then display the appropriate message for the appropriate unit, at the appropriate time.

No, thats not the problem, but I saw somewhere in the forums ppl telling me about using waits inside loops, they mess up things but not in the way im wanting to do it.

Yeah, never used hash-tables. I think Ill have to go and read some info about them. They look really powerful.

Yeah I think I should have used a more appropiate title for ppl with a problem similar to mine... sorry about that.
