timer

Hello, I'm back with another WC3 scripting insight that has cost me more time than I'm willing to admit... Timer and Trigger frequencies. What's the minimum interval of a Timer? "0.0" definitely works for a "fastest possible" setting. What's the minimum interval of a Periodic Trigger? The...

The essence of this thread, an abstract: April 2022 The game runs at 50 ticks per second when at 100% speed. Timers are correctly affected by set game speed. (TriggerSleepAction aka Wait is not) Timers are calculated as part of the game simulation loop and the game speed correctly affects any...

Hello guys. Function TimerStart takes timeInterval as a second parameter The question is: what is the minimal value of this parameter? For example, you can do call TimerStart(t, 0.3, true, function SomeFunction) But can you do call TimerStart(t, 0.00000000000001, true, function SomeFunction)...

Why does this work? When i put the arrary of the timer as a player number, then the timer works. It shows the time remaining, 60 for example. Untitled Trigger 001 Events Conditions Actions Countdown Timer - Start HeroRespawn_Timer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering...

I looked for tutorials, but they don't solve all my doubts, so I'm here to ask you.

hey there, this spell is supposed to display a timer (3 min) and when the timer runs out it kills all town hall type units. if the casting hero is killed first the timer is canceled. I'm having two issues with it : 1. the timer doesn't show, just the timer window (I'm probably making a very...

Hello! I need to fix this trigger, the idea of the trigger is, a hero unit dies, wait 30 sec, create another random hero in the same region of the dying one, i need it to work for multiple heroes dying at the same time. It is only reviving the last monster. Melee Initialization Events...

Hello, i made an ability that gives bonus attack damage to the hero for every enemy unit it kills, it stacks up to ten times, everything works as intended but i need to make it so it loses the effect after 10 seconds without killing an unit, here are the triggers: For the stacking part, i made...

Hi! I wonder which function is better for loop triggers in map, if you gonna play it online? (By "better" I mean less desync chance and memory leaks). From what I've learned, "wait" isn't that accurate, especially online. But I'm not sure about how many timers could being running at same time...

The problem is that the Reals aren't precise. Here's a simple code I made in Lua: local duration = 5.00 TimerStart(SomeTimer, 0.05, true, function() duration = duration - 0.05 print("Duration = ", duration) if duration <= 0 then --End the timer end end end) When I...

In FOTN by Shadegabriel and the other guy. They used a system where villagers appear in the morning and at around 18:00 they dissapear and appear at 6:00 the next day. This is a supposed continuous trigger meant to run forever. The flaw of the trigger is that it does not work properly for...

1. Does adding too many events slow down the game over time? I'm currently running a trigger, which is adding one new event every ~25-50 seconds. And yes, it doens't work without adding new events, despite the event being always the same. :/ 2. Is it possible to change the intervall time of an...

This is a bit of a mess with a lot of potential issues, so I'll try keep it as specific as possible. I'm working on a map which begins with all players buying a hero, and a timer counting down to kick players that don't pick a hero within 45 seconds. I have two triggers working on this, one to...

Hey guys, as the Title suggests i´ve gotten myself a problem with timers and i cant find the error Oo I made a chat command to set the timer to 1 (tried 5 as well) seconds, just for testing purposes. But when i use this chat command to set the timer, the spawning wave has a random number of...

Hi everyone! There is a small research on how timer API works in WarCraft 3. Tests were made on 1.26a and 1.32.10 versions. TimerGetTimeout Whenever passed timer is started by TimerStart, this function returns the last passed timeout value. Example: timer is started by TimerStart with x...

Hey all, I bet there is a threat similar to this but I was unable to find it. Ill tell you what happens and what the problem is: > A leaderboard is created > Leaderboard looks fine > a timer is created > the leaderboard gets "scaled down", it becomes a thin bar What can I do that the...

Something like Wind Walk. When you cast the ability,it immediately activates without the caster stopping to play an animation. I'd gladly use Wind Walk as the base ability, but the MS buff it gives drops out when you cast another ability. (I'm using the MS buff). Help will be appreciated :)

Hello, first post here on the Forum. Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm trying to figure out the best way to make a trigger that spawns a unit periodically (ex. every 60 sec) based on Units that have been trained at A building (ex. Barracks). So, for a specific example: Imagine a...

Hi, I am saving a few timer handles into a hashtable and I am loading their data once the timers expire with the (Key(Expiring Timer)). I am saving 2 integers and 1 real for each timer and I don't know how to load the data of another timer which is not the expiring one.

Alright, I wanted to recreate Tyrael's spell from HOTS on Wc3. Everything was fine until I got stuck in the timer issue. Here's how the spell should work: 1) Tyrael throws his sword to a point. (First loop to send an effect along the path between Tyrael and target point) 2) The sword spawns on...

I based this work from the idea I found here which uses one universal timer for all 0.03125 period codes. Basically, what mine does is somewhat similar to the previous one but the difference is that it allows you to specify other periods aside from 0.03125 while still using a single timer for...
