Anyway to tell between timers in same trigger?

[Bond009]

like a trigger with these events

• Events
  • Time - LastBuilding_Timer[1] expires
  • Time - LastBuilding_Timer[2] expires
  • Time - LastBuilding_Timer[3] expires
  • Time - LastBuilding_Timer[4] expires
  • Time - LastBuilding_Timer[5] expires
  • Time - LastBuilding_Timer[6] expires

is there a way to tell them apart and do a different action based on each timer or do i need to just put them in separate triggers..

There should be a function, (Last Expired Timer), or something similar (I assume). In JASS I know it is GetExpiredTimer().

You can just do an if/then/else and see if the LastBuilding_Timer[index] is Equal to the expired timer (do that for each index). You can also loop through them and get which index it is through this method, although that is only useful if you end up doing similar things and rely on the index for it.

What exactly do you plan on doing?

well they all might be running at once at times so i cant use that or it will only get the last one that ran. I guess i could just put them all in different triggers, a bit more messy but no big deal.

GetExpiredTimer() will work fine.

Can also have a dif id for each timer and save that id into a hashtable under the timer's handle id

call SaveInteger(table, GetHandleId(timer), 0, id)
id = LoadInteger(table, GetHandleId(GetExpiredTimer()), 0)

so what would be a custom script i could use within gui grab the array number timer thats expired?
like if i wanted to assign a global integer variable the array # of that expired timer.

If the contents of that trigger is instant, they should work fine even if all of those timers are running...

Last Expired Timer returns the last timer that expired (which in this case is the timer that triggered the event)

you must have missed this lol

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Custom script: exitwhen (GetExpiredTimer() == udg_LastBuilding_Timer[bj_forLoopAIndex])
• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Integer A)))
