Bug or what?!

sadvisor · Nov 4, 2009

I've always had a problem whenever I wanted to make a trigger that gives a bonus of 50 gold to a player when he's current gold becomes 450 (or whatever number you like)

Until today, I thought that there's something wrong with my understanding of how triggers work, that my poor GUI skills are responsible for the game crashes.

But this time, I really am sure there's just nothing wrong with the trigger, so I'm asking you: Is this some kind of bug, or I still suck at triggering?

Here's the trigger:

Gold Bonus on 450 Gold
- Events
  - Player - Player 1 (Red)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 450.00
  - Player - Player 2 (Blue)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 450.00
  - Player - Player 3 (Teal)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 450.00
  - Player - Player 4 (Purple)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 450.00
  - Player - Player 5 (Yellow)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 450.00
  - Player - Player 6 (Orange)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 450.00
  - Player - Player 7 (Green)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 450.00
  - Player - Player 8 (Pink)'s Current gold becomes Greater than or equal to 450.00

replace Destroy Trigger with Trigger - Turn off (This Trigger)

maybe it will work

sadvisor · Nov 4, 2009

no, i use "Custom script: call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())" on a lots of triggers. I am 100% sure the last "line" has nothing to do with the crashes.

Slaydon · Nov 4, 2009

Then make another trigger checking if it is in EstGroup and then add 20 gold ;P just use Two if's.

The same result, the game still crashes.

try to disable the trigger at start, and then test it, it could be the custom code aswell

try to Disable the trigger, and check if it chrashes.

sadvisor · Nov 4, 2009

no dude, the game only crashes when this trigger is enabled, I've said that in the first post.

Of course I've checked if it's the trigger's fault.

it crashed cos you make the gold max out
the trigger loops all the time cos you have greater than or equl to

Slaydon · Nov 4, 2009

it says becomes, it cant be just equal to, since if they get 451 < they wont get it

PvSvN · Nov 4, 2009

ye just turn off the trigger befor you give the gold = stops the loop
like so
