[General] CreateImage Issue

[Elprede]

I imported Shadow Trail System in another map and tested it.

Different from the original test map, large black planes appeared below the shadow trail, which consists of images created with the function CreateImage (Please see attached image).

Could anyone tell me why these black planes appear and how to prevent them from showing?

 

[Dr Super Good]

I suggest the following.

1. Make sure the system is imported correctly. This also means that all custom assets it requires are also imported, at the correct file paths and not corrupted.
2. Restart computer (not shutdown as that is often hybrid shutdown) as some times GPU drivers end up in a bugged state resulting in missing graphics in WC3.

The system requires no imports, other than codes, so I am positive that I imported it correctly. Importing it was a simple task.

Restarting my computer did not help. The black planes remain.

EDIT: Imported the GUI examples into my test map and tested them. No blacks planes showed up with them. Therefore, I must be using the system incorrectly in my JASS spell.

EDIT EDIT: I have no other clue as to why the GUI example works as intended but not the vJASS spell. Tested with same settings as the GUI one, yet black planes still show up.

 

[Dr Super Good]

So which is the trigger with the GUI that works and which is the vJASS trigger that does not work?

 

[Elprede]

Dash (Warden - Spells) represents the vJASS example. Moving Trail (Templates) represents the GUI one.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The API calls made are different in the vJASS from the GUI template. Try setting them exactly the same and checking if it works. If it does work then that means that the way the ability is using the API is incorrect. If it does not work then there must be some conflict with something the vJASS ability does and the system.

 

[Elprede]

The exact same settings did not get rid of the black planes.

EDIT: It would seem that only Warden has the issue. Yet, Warden did not have this issue in the original map. I will try testing in a new map.

The problem persists in a new map.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Maybe contact the system author about the problem?

 

[Elprede]

I will do that sometime in the future, but I found a solution to my problem.

Apparently, Warden is not the cause. The culprit was one of her abilities - Shadowmeld.

By removing that ability, black planes did not appear again.
