[JASS] Code glitch dealing with rects/regions/events

[Bribe]

This function has a serious problem. If I put the code in another fucntion, that function doesn't execute. If I have it be called from a function, neither function will execute. This is what I'm working with:

globals
region array regio
region array tooltip
rect zero
endglobals

function createregions1 takes nothing returns nothing
local rect zero
local integer a = 0
set regio[0]=CreateRegion()
set zero = Rect(- 7968.0, - 6816.0, - 7520.0, - 6752.0)
call RegionAddRect(regio[0], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_G9, regio[0], null)
set regio[1]=CreateRegion()
set zero=Rect(- 4384.0, - 4992.0, - 3936.0, - 4928.0)
call RegionAddRect(regio[1], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion( gg_trg_S1Rez, regio[1], null )
loop
exitwhen a > 7
set tooltip[a]=CreateRegion()
call TriggerRegisterLeaveRegion(gg_trg_TTNo, tooltip[a], null)
set a = a + 1
endloop
set zero=Rect(- 4480.0, - 6592.0, - 4416.0, - 6208.0)
call RegionAddRect(boss1trigger, zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion( gg_trg_S1Boss, boss1trigger, null )
set zero=Rect(- 7616.0, - 7872.0, - 7552.0, - 7776.0)
call RegionAddRect(tooltip[0], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_TT1, tooltip[0], null)
set zero=Rect(- 7936.0, - 8256.0, - 7872.0, - 8160.0)
call RegionAddRect(tooltip[1], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_TT2, tooltip[1], null)
set zero=Rect(- 7936.0, - 7488.0, - 7872.0, - 7392.0)
call RegionAddRect(tooltip[2], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_TT3, tooltip[2], null)
set zero=Rect(- 7616.0, - 7488.0, - 7552.0, - 7392.0)
call RegionAddRect(tooltip[3], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_TT4, tooltip[3], null)
set zero=Rect(- 7616.0, - 8256.0, - 7552.0, - 8160.0)
call RegionAddRect(tooltip[4], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_TT5, tooltip[4], null)
set zero=Rect(- 8000.0, - 8576.0, - 7936.0, - 8480.0)
call RegionAddRect(tooltip[5], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_TT6, tooltip[5], null)
set zero=Rect(- 7552.0, - 8576.0, - 7488.0, - 8480.0)
call RegionAddRect(tooltip[6], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_TT7, tooltip[6], null)
set zero=Rect(- 7936.0, - 7872.0, - 7872.0, - 7776.0)
call RegionAddRect(tooltip[7], zero)
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion(gg_trg_TT8, tooltip[7], null)
set zero=null
endfunction

For starters, you should indent your codes, the way you have it pasted here makes it really hard to read.

Now, have you tried moving that loop to AFTER the rects are added to the region?

So, I was reading over my old posts to see how my coding has improved, and...

The reason why this was causing the game to crash was because I was declaring rect zero as a global AND as a local.

That was because when I first started learning JASS I thought that locals had to be declared as globals, first

If I were still programming this, it would look like:

scope CreateRegions initializer init
globals
    region array regio
    region array tooltip
endglobals
private function Setup takes rect r, trigger t, region e returns nothing
    set e = CreateRegion()
    call RegionAddRect( e , r )
    call TriggerRegisterEnterRegion( t , e , null )
    call RemoveRect( r )
endfunction
private function init takes nothing returns nothing
    local rect r
 
    // do this for each one:
    set r = somerect
    call Setup(r,trig,region)
    // ^^^
 
    set r = null
endfunction
endscope

Didn't they change declaring locals a couple of patches ago, making it so you can't redeclare a global as a local anymore?

No :O Fixed some bugs that occured with this, but it's still possible.
