My problem is when more than 1 hero die. When 1 hero dies there are no problems, but when another dies with a timer still left from the 1st hero reviving I run into issues. Ask if u want details on the issues, and I appreciate any help!

 

[Alright]

Use [ trigger][/ trigger] tags (no space), it's a bit hard to read the code.

I think the last If-Then-Else statement where you turn off the trigger should be on its own. I'm not entirely sure though so you may want to wait until someone else can confirm (or deny) this.

Additionally, you can remove all those ITE statements in the first trigger and replace them with one in a loop (see below). While I was at it, I fixed the location leaks in the revive actions of the second trigger; nothing major.

I can't help but to think that you're approaching your goal from the wrong direction.
What do you want to do, specifically?

Well if it's an AoS type of map where each player is in control of only one hero (hence MPI), he would be better off implementing the GUI revival system in the DotA Template from World Editor Tutorials. I posted the triggers in a similar thread as well if you don't want to download the map. My last post there also explains a common problem when importing these revival triggers into one's own map.

I wasn't sure if there was a leak when using regions as points so thanks for answering that for me, and I don't quite follow what you mean when you say that turning the trigger off action should be in it's own trigger.

Thank you but I'd like to make my own, unless I cannot fix my problem. This is my 1st time using countdown timers as well. You are right though; I am trying to make a map where each player controls a hero.

I can't help but to think that you're approaching your goal from the wrong direction.
What do you want to do, specifically?

To revive a hero once the hero dies for a "Hero Arena" kind of map that my friend is working on. But there also needs to be a countdown timer showing how long until the hero is revived. I also have a simple equation for how long they should be dead for.

I meant move the last If-Then-Else statement in your second trigger outside of the loop but that's not going to fix the problem.

Fair enough. I found a solution to your problem though which involves minimal alterations to your original triggers. By the way, you did quite a good job considering it's your first time with timers.

Possible solution

I looked through your triggers again and realised that your setting DeathTimer to the last started timer, set up your timer window and then start DeathTimer. I didn't think this would work when I replicated your triggers but for whatever reason, it did. I then realised that as soon as another hero died, the DeathTimer gets over-written and both timers restart based on the latest one. For example:

• Hero 1 (Level 30) dies and DeathTimer[1] starts at 10 seconds.
• Hero 1 (Level 15) dies and DeathTimer[2] starts at 5 seconds.
• However Hero 2 dies 3 seconds after Hero 1 and last started timer is over-written.
• DeathTimer[1] is now reset to countdown from 5 seconds from the moment Hero 2 dies.

It got worse when three or more heroes would die; they would usually revive instantly except for the first two. I tweaked the triggers slightly and implemented some of my own advice from that thread I posted.

I then remembered a similar issue when trying to implement these triggers in a map of my own. The ReviveTimers variable needs to have the array size set to 12 because with timer arrays, only the first two are initialised by default as explained by Spartipilo and Maker in this thread.

I meant move the last If-Then-Else statement in your second trigger outside of the loop but that's not going to fix the problem.



Fair enough. I found a solution to your problem though which involves minimal alterations to your original triggers. By the way, you did quite a good job considering it's your first time with timers.

Possible solution

I looked through your triggers again and realised that your setting DeathTimer to the last started timer, set up your timer window and then start DeathTimer. I didn't think this would work when I replicated your triggers but for whatever reason, it did. I then realised that as soon as another hero died, the DeathTimer gets over-written and both timers restart based on the latest one. For example:

• Hero 1 (Level 30) dies and DeathTimer[1] starts at 10 seconds.
• Hero 1 (Level 15) dies and DeathTimer[2] starts at 5 seconds.
• However Hero 2 dies 3 seconds after Hero 1 and last started timer is over-written.
• DeathTimer[1] is now reset to countdown from 5 seconds from the moment Hero 2 dies.

It got worse when three or more heroes would die; they would usually revive instantly except for the first two. I tweaked the triggers slightly and implemented some of my own advice from that thread I posted.

Sorry for late reply, but the site was down. I just have a few questions about the solution you gave me. I'm actually really surprised to finally see a variable with an array higher than 1; I will have to check out that thread. I also don't know how you came up with "player(tempinteger)" and "(player + string(tempinteger) + Revive))". I would really appreciate if you could help me out but I'm just very grateful for my revive to FINALLY be working =)

About the timer array:
It's a bit confusing to explain in detail but I'll give it shot.

Let's say you create a timer array with a size of 12; one for each player. When you start the game, it will create each timer using a loop using the jass function CreateTimer(). Unfortunately there is no GUI equivalent to actually create timers; only to start them. When you use the action 'Timer Start,' it needs an existing timer to make it work. For example, if you had your timer array set to 1 and then tried to start Timer[2], the action won't find one because it wasn't created at the start of the game; it stopped making them at 1. Hence the action would fail and you'd get some weird shit going on.

Hopefully that made sense. I found this thread while writing this up which probably explains it better and has a solution using custom scripts: Countdown timer variables can't use array?.

I also took this screenshot to show how the game sets up globals but it's in Jass. Might help visualise what's happening though.

Screenshot

About the TempInteger:
In the Player Conditions, there is a function in the drop-down menu that's called "Conversion - Convert Player Index to Player" which takes an integer value and gives you a player in return (see below). For instance, if you set it 1 it would refer to Player 1 (Red). Set it to 2 and it would refer to Player 2 (Blue), etc. I set it to TempInteger which loops through all the players (from 1 to 12) to find the owner of the dying unit and when found, set the DeathString to display: "Player " + String(TempInteger) + " Revive" where Player and Revive were just typed up (including the spaces) and TempInteger was converted from an integer to a string. The screenshots below should explain it.

More screenshots!

I believe you explained it well; I believe I have an idea what is going on, although I'm a amateur at Jass. Everything I know with wc3 editor was all done with a lot of trial and error. Thank you for showing me where you converted a variable into a player number; that will come in handy!
