[Trigger] "Cannot load map data" after changing triggers

[Antares]

Hi,

this could go into either Triggers & Scripts or World Editor Help Zone. But it seems to be that the triggers are causing it, so I put it here.

Recently, I got the error message "Cannot load map data" when I tried to open my map in Warcraft III after making some changes. I couldn't get rid of the bug by saving it again or under a different name, but the previous version was working, so I decided that the map file probably just got randomly corrupted and started from the previous version again.

I worked on some triggers again and the bug reappeared. Now I managed to pin down when the error occurs. The first one was when I changed the temporary point variables in a trigger because they were conflicting with others. I found that there was one unnecessary point declaration that leaked, which I removed, fixing the bug.

set udg_diepoint2 = GetUnitLoc( udg_pirate )

The variable is never used again in that trigger.

Then I went back to what I initially wanted to do in the new version, that is, changing my triggers that create sound effects for some players only. I was told that setting the sound volume locally is the best way to do it.

    local real volume = 0
    [...]
    set udg_tempinteger = 1
    loop
        exitwhen udg_tempinteger > 9
        if ( IsPlayerInForce(ConvertedPlayer(udg_tempinteger), udg_tipsplayergroup) == true ) then
            set udg_tempforce = GetForceOfPlayer(ConvertedPlayer(udg_tempinteger))
            call DisplayTimedTextToForce( udg_tempforce, 20.00, "TRIGSTR_12389" )
            call DestroyForce( udg_tempforce )
            if ( GetLocalPlayer() == ConvertedPlayer(udg_tempinteger) ) then
            set volume = 100
            endif
        else
        endif
        set udg_tempinteger = udg_tempinteger + 1
    endloop
    call SetSoundVolumeBJ( gg_snd_hint , volume )
    call PlaySoundBJ( gg_snd_Hint )

Here, adding the line "call SetSoundVolumeBJ( gg_snd_hint , volume )" caused the bug to reappear. Using the non-BJ function doesn't change anything.

No idea what is going on here. I tried to google the problem, but I could only find threads about the bug appearing when you load the map from the editor. This is not this bug! I'm trying to load from Warcraft 3.

I'm using World Editor Extended, but only to increase the doodad limit.

Thanks for any help!

That error is usually caused by an invalid map script. Does it throw any errors when saving?

 

[Antares]

No, there's no error on saving. How can the map script become invalid by adding a SetSoundVolume line when it was valid previously?

Just checked whether it's the map optimizer that induces the error in the script, but the unoptimized version doesn't load either.

I found the error. The variable names were inconsistent, but the editor didn't throw an error upon saving the map. Is that a problem with the World Editor Extended? I just recently started using it.
