I also had a problem: when I switch inventory pages, the GoldOfRobber item (it works on a trigger) stops giving gold for kills. It needs to be registered in the item database, but I haven't been able to do this. Maybe someone can help?

Hey,
Hope your holidays were well. When you have free time, that melee cold damage you created, how would I make that for ranged + I could use the orb of corruption to make it "cold" slowed plus the armor reduce? It works for the melee heroes, ability + orb of corruption.
Also I want to extend a big thank you for everything you've done to help!!
Thank you!!
Hi Uncle!
Once again, I have to say a BIG Thank You So Much for all your help!
As I said before, you're a GEM for this community!
I finally managed to officially release my new map, and your help in threads helped me a lot to made this achievement.
I put you on the top credit list because your help was and is outstanding!
Maybe one day we will play together this map or your future game in Unity
Where?Can't trade resources with players in different forces
Hello, there seems to be a bug where players in different forces (teams) can't trade resources to eachother even if they become allied with actions in trigger. Set in "Scenario->Force Properties...": Blue, teal, gray and light blue in force 1. Peach and emerald in force 2. Iniitialization...

Can you please look at my forum post? No one has been able to tell me why this isn't working.
Hey can you remind me how to skip variables when you are doing a "for" loop in GUI?
Are these two triggers the same output?

Thanks for any feedback. I remember you posted this previously but I can't find it.
What keeps you chained to Wc3? the more you learn the more you realize you could convert 90% of your knowledge to 'real' languages and tools instead of fighting the engine to some extent. I mean I am glad people still are passionate, somehow I wish I still was.
Do you know anything about this? Can you please give any advice on this topic?
Game - Preload .mdx/.blp
How come this trigger doesn't seem to preload any of these models and textures? They still cause lag.

Hi, if you have an extra moment, could you take a look at my forum post? No pressure. I'm only saying if you have extra time and have any comment on this topic.
Thank you so much.
[Trigger] - Remove Wait?
Trying to remove the Wait actions from this trigger in hopes or reducing desyncs or other bugs, just to be extra cautious. I was thinking assign the dying units to a variable, checking the array for any unused slots, then use 100s of timers to track their individual respawn time then clear the...

It boggles my mind that it's simply difficult for just regular average people to understand what, conceptually, a variable is. And I don't mean within programming specifically. I took it as a given that a fundamental understanding of a variable as a stand-in was something all people had because of standardized math education, but I am clearly wrong. Anyway, I thought to myself "how would I describe it most succinctly?", arrived at a good answer, and thought to share it with you.
Why? I don't know! He's on third, and I don't give a damn.
A variable is a word/name/symbol that represents some value or some other object, that you use for one of three possible reasons:
- You don't know what the value is.
- You don't want to pick a value now, and instead want to allow yourself to easily choose a value later.
- You want a more descriptive way to refer to something instead of the value itself, which might not be clear.
A variable is shorthand to refer to something else... because you actually don't know what the thing is, do know but don't want to decide what it should be now, or think using the thing directly could be confusing.
You are a blight upon the English language and the world will be better when pests such as yourself are removed.
Hey Uncle, thanks for creating the Santa bomb spell
I would like to point out a bug however, you used SAir_Index instead of SAir_Loop for determining the caster's position when creating the rocket. This would cause a visual bug when three heroes are channeling it simultenously.
You and I, we're a team buddy ol' pal! I tell 'em how to do it the hard way and then you blow their minds with Hashtables.
Hey just a reminder that your doing awesome work.
It’s cool to look up obscure problems that I’m having in my map on the hive just to see you having presented fixes to my problems in help threads that span back years!
Cheers,
Hi uncle
Hello, I'm not sure where to write this, but the LUA code for ItemRecipe worked flawlessly. I used Bribe's translator and GPT and failed both times. Thank you and you guys at Hive are unfathomably cool. Bless you and your day.
What do you think of this method to "temporarily remove" abilities from heroes?

Hi, I think I have discussed this before but google search is being weird
Anyway, is there a GUI native to detect if an ability is in cooldown or not?

I didn't see any question of that kind, so I'm not sure if it's possible. I have a hero with both defend and shield bash ability. However, I want the shield bash only usable if he's not in defend mode. Is there some way to make shield bash inactive (as if being silenced but only for that spell)...

Help pls i dont know how to use the food fix, where i need to put in? srry bad english :x
Every few weeks I invariably need to type out a dummy configuration explanation for someone and I always go "Uncle does that nicely all the time I should just look for one and link/quote them." Then I look, and because you post even more frequently than I ("do we need lives? no! when are we gonna need 'em? never!") I can't ever find one.
Praised be today such that I have saved your post to be permanently lazier in the future!
Whatever happened to Bribe's Lua-Infused GUI? I'm wondering if it doesn't make more sense to recommend to beginners to use that instead of teaching them about memory leaks. Does it not work well?
HEAR YE, HEAR YE ONE AND ALL:
For one time in his insufferably helpful life, Uncle has been proven wrong! There will be a brief celebration in the streets at 10:01 in your local timezone—see attached flyer for details.
I get that it's not profit worthy. However, since they're not doing much of anything for the game but for some reason bother to modify object editor data fields, pushing some custom contest news like they did with StarCraft II would have surely brought them some money and for free.
Could you check my last edited message in Unit Ranking System please?

Congratulations on your first medal. I'd argue that's one of the hardest medals to earn
Congrats on Your first medal! You totally deserve it!
Hey,
don't wanna derail GenoHacker's thread. I'm right now writing a tutorial on optimization and I have this section about exactly this topic. Do you think I should remove it?
"As a GUI user, you have the option to either use JASS or Lua as your scripting language, with JASS being the default. If you switch to Lua, not much will change for you except that upon saving your map, your map script will be transpiled to Lua, which is about 10x faster than JASS. There is the caveat that, if you choose to use external resources, you're restricted to those written in Lua. However, many creators provide both JASS and Lua versions these days or might be willing to provide a Lua translation upon request. You have to make the decision if this increase in performance is worth the downside."
hey there uncle i just found a camera system you made (well maybe not a system? but kinda a small system like the one you made) by searching through old posts for a camera check i wanted to do. although i noticed these are not marked as your resources (like the small sound system you made for me which btw is amazing and other systems are not as simple and gui friendly) why not post it?
oh speaking of that is there a way using that small sound system to make a sound stack a limited ammount of times? (1 to play it a single time or 100 so that it can play in up to 100 instances)
That thread was a double post from when they put up their first thread, not a new one from today. Everyone ignored it except Gnuoy, lul.
Half the time I get alerts for threads you've helped people with I read their next question and go "well now I have to read all of Uncle's examples and figure out where that would fit in." ... "Nah." and close the thread, lol.
Thanks a lot for all your replys 80% of my questions so far since i returned to the warcraft edition envoirement were answered by you with clear and great examples , thank you so much man!
Did… did the posts about Blizzard copyright get deleted from that CDR thread? I went to reply and they no longer appear.
Am I the crazy one here?
Would be neat to start a thread or paste or something with the latest patch mapping issues/workarounds.

Hey @Uncle long time! Any ideas on this issue? Missile (splash) + Orb of annihilation issue
Hey Uncle! How are you doing? You seem like a Warcraft III genius. I wonder how old are you, and what is your occupation?
Yo. Any idea why a unit being moved after each 0.1s to a certain point can't also attack? It's weird. If I disable the instant move trigger, the unit can attack.
You are a genius. If I had a job, I would pay you!
I think I need a hashtable for points.
Trying to do the whole array thing but was thinking I need an array within an array, or a two-dimensional array.
So each player has 4 points corresponding to 4 different teams.
then I want to be able to use loops and [variables] in the array slot.
then there are 12 different players.
Looking at hashtable settings I don't see point handle as an option.
Does this make any sense? You are normally good at understanding my nonsense.
Thank you for any insight you may have!
if anyone reading this is considering hiring this man for any sort of coding work, do it while you can afford him. Just finished about a month long project and it could not have been smoother or more professionally handled despite me throwing a few curve balls mid play. Clear communication, speedy adjustments, good suggestions on how to improve other stuff and included bonus delivery of simplified tools for me to adjust & expand the system without having to learn to code. just pretty much killed it and made it look easy.
Awesome. However, there are some issues with the lightning FX going over screen to the north at times especially if the unit is near that part of the screen when attacking and if there's other phoenixes attacking around. Tested on Classic.[Trigger] - Calculating coordinate of the parallel line splash?
