Bug or what?!

[sadvisor]

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
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play QuestNew <gen>
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text:
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 10.00 seconds the text: ((Name of (Triggering player)) +...
    • -------- -------------------------- --------
    • Player - Add 30 to (Triggering player) Current gold
    • -------- -------------------------- --------
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Triggering player) is in WestGroup) Equal to (==) True
        • Then - Actions
          • Player Group - Pick every player in WestGroup and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Player - Add 20 to (Picked player) Current gold
        • Else - Actions
          • Player Group - Pick every player in EstGroup and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Player - Add 20 to (Picked player) Current gold
    • -------- -------------------------- --------
    • Custom script: call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

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

maybe it will work

 

[sadvisor]

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]

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

    • Player - Add 30 to (Triggering player) Current gold
    • -------- -------------------------- --------
    • Custom script: call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

The same result, the game still crashes.

 

[Slaydon]

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

The game still crashes.

 

[Slaydon]

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

 

[sadvisor]

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.

 

[PvSvN]

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

 

[Slaydon]

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

 

[PvSvN]

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