I dont care about leaks now.I can fix later, then, dont say *it leaks*

I think the reason is simple:

First you check if the tileset of 2 specific locations are Grass.
If that is true, then the tileset of those locations becomes Dirt.

Immeadiately after those actions, you check if the tileset of those same locations are dirt, which of course would be true, because it has been changed in the previous action.
Then it changes back to Grass, like it was before the trigger started.

You won't see any change that way, so what's the point of this trigger?

Of course, if my 'idea' is correct, you would still see the special effects... if you don't see those, it maybe has to do with the tilesets.

Also make sure you have not used the limate of terrain types and are trying to change it to a new terrain type, WC3 will then randomly generate terrain types for triggers as it can not load any more.

dimitri231 · Jun 20, 2009

No... It isnt working..Im sure it is Barren - Grass

Dr Super Good · Jun 20, 2009

I am sure it is your triggers logic making no sense as Post 2 stated.

Erm and what about my idea? :sad:

(that it changes to Dirt and immeadiately changes back to Grass afterwards).

dimitri231 · Jun 20, 2009

The special effects doesnt appear...

Coolty44 · Jun 20, 2009

Change the effect, if I recall, that one isn't a super crazy easy effect to see. So post 2 is right, your changing, checking, then changing again. Change the effects to something visable, like ToonBoom or MoonsoonBolt for everyother one to see if its just not apearing, or if post 2 is correct. (Money is on post #2)

Tried that, still trying to get it work, but unfortunately it doesn't work correctly...
Even I can't figure out this problem, it would've been my next answer though, so it's a possibility xD

Edit:
Fuck me, stupid mistake - I'll add the trigger here in a few moments ^^

This works for me, so there should be something wrong with your regions, use a game message to see what part of the trigger works (set a message after the first condition, if you can see it, that works and do that for the whole trigger).

So did my trigger :sad:

(and my trigger had a cool effect; it constantly switched between the 2 terrain types, I think that was the point in the first trigger

)
Grats, though

Edit:
lols, your edit wasn't there yet xD

Thank you, I blame winning on being a no-lifer who hasn't got anything else to do at 2:27am...
And still you almost beat me ^^

going off-topic though, let's see what dimitri thinks of our triggers...

        Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Center of Region 001 <gen>)
        
        Else - Actions

The unit doesnt walk all trigger.

ap0calypse · Jun 20, 2009

That's because the unit isn't in the region yet (strange, but that's the truth...).
Adding a little wait (0.01-0.20, your choice, doesn't matter anyway

) in front of the if/then/else-block could help.
Normally the unit will still walk smoothly.

(leaks! D

dimitri231 · Jun 20, 2009

What?It works until the third if/then/else

I think my WE is screwing with me

dimitri231 · Jun 20, 2009

Here the units walks...but it stops.Oo

ap0calypse · Jun 20, 2009

Umm... still, try to add the wait

If it doesn't work, I'll figure out another method ^^ you've got nothing to lose

dimitri231 · Jun 20, 2009

But with waits it is not going to be MUI =/

dimitri231 said:

It's just 1 small wait... I don't know if it's going to have any effect on that, then the timing should really be very good :s
Though I actually thought it was for a TD or something like that

dimitri231 · Jun 20, 2009

No is Just like an escape, a unit enter region, than he has to start to run or the rock will kill him, but the rock needs to turn around points.
