[JASS] Converting events to conditions?

[EpixBelongToMe]

sorry if this is a double post, but the search shows nearly every thread when im searching for this question.

ok i have trigger like
event:
timer 1 expires
timer 2 expires
timer 3 expires

actions:
if <expired timer equal to timer 1>
set integer a equal to 1

and that is the problem because there isn't a condition like this one.

my question: is there a possibility to figur out which event started the trigger?
i want to know this because i can combine 8 triggers to 1 then.

 

[Kwah]

Hmmmm, personally I woud just use eight triggers in one folder. . .

It seems so much easier and there is no real benefit to not doing so

Sorry about being un-helpful.

I don't think that their is a way but, I'm not sure

 

[emperor_d3st]

There is a

native GetExpiredTimer takes nothing returns timer

function for this. It is likely there is a GUI version of this. If not, learn to jass.

 

[Kwah]

lol emperor_d3st

"learn JASS"

Kinda hard for one spellll maybe??

 

[emperor_d3st]

No. Basic JASS is damn easy. Writing this whole trigger would require 15 minutes of JASS training, 2 with previous programmer experience since it uses no advanced JASS functions and damn easy algorythms.

 

[Kwah]

Yes. . .


It would be easy but would it be worth it to simply amalgamate eight triggers into one.

Sure it could be used later on in life (lol) but that is not necessarily where I would want to start learning JASS.

I think that this might be called a little "off-topic" but whatever.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Search the condition list for 10 minutes for a condition like this.
Search Google, Hive ~ 10 minutes.
Post on Hive, check it every now and then ~30 minutes.
Not to mention you might don't find an answer or find out that you can't do this in GUI, not to mention you have to wait for an answer for days.

Or

Read a tutorial on Jass ~ 8 minutes.
Tinker around in Jass ~ 25 minutes.

And you are ready to go and can refer to your expired timer

I would suggest the OP to start to learn Jass right now.

 

[Kwah]

Hmmm, I suppose. . .

But only if the poster has any intrest in learning JASS (which he should but. . .)

Anyways this has gone too far. I am going to stop posting with you in a hopless battle about JASS (any anti-JASS is hopless).

Goodbye.

 

[Squiggy]

Set a variable for the timers you made. I believe there is a condition something like timer comparison.. should work

 

[EpixBelongToMe]

your tip isn't really helpful emperor_d3st.
i want to try it with gui so i post into the gui forum. if i want to do this with jass i will ask in the jass forum.

 

[emperor_d3st]

My suggestion was made of 100% helpfulness.
You have spent a day on solving this problem and you are going to spend more.
If you want to refer to expired timers use JASS.
After spending a few minutes looking around in the GUI trigger editor I came to the conclusion that it's very likely that you can not do this in GUI.

 

[EpixBelongToMe]

ok i don't know much about jass and yeah there is no way to do this with gui.
so i have this trigger (its directly converted from the gui trigger so maybe it's not a good jass trigger at all) the only think which must be edited is the part where i wanna clarify P2. so i need something in this trigger like "if expired timer equal to timersolo[1] set P2 equal to 1". maybe someone could edit this trigger below?

One word: Variables.

I made a little template for you.

 

[EpixBelongToMe]

uhm yeah ... sorry but your map doesn't help and has no relation to the problem. and the trigger is full with variables because it should work for every player.

 

[Huurka]

I dont understand a freakin' word you say.

If i understood it right you want one timer to expire and add one plus to an integer.

 

[EpixBelongToMe]

the problem is i dont want 8 timers starting 8 triggers. i want 8 timers to start 1 trigger. and the number of the expired timer shall be converted to the integer P2 in the trigger i posted above. so if trigger 4 expires P2 should be 4. but that is not possible with gui.
