CreateTrigger() srecific

[ArieZ13th]

Good day!
I try to Create Trigger in middle of game but it does not work(
I use global variable and function not in librarry (function of action). But it does not helf.
How can i create a new trigger in the middle of game?

My code:

udg_t[1] = CreateTrigger()
        TriggerRegisterPlayerSelectionEventBJ( udg_t[1], p, true)
        //TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( udg_t[1], EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_ORDER )
        TriggerAddAction( udg_t[1], function MyMessage)

And MyMessage didn't start =(

Maybe is an event problem?

No, at start i have log info:

    nothing MyMessage() {
        DisplayTextToPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(u), 0, 0, "test")

But if it is syntax problem.. i think compiler can found it

    nothing MyMessage() {
        DisplayTextToPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(u), 0, 0, "test")

hmmmm... i see problen.. sorry)
I will check now

It's cJass (doesn't seem complete, though)? Show all related code.

 

[ArieZ13th]

Yes.. i dont saw that "u" I initialize later. it work)

BUT! I have a new.. more important question:
I want to use a structure.
In some place of all triggers i will init this structure (local Mystr)
And than i want to use Mystr.CreateNewTrigger(), when "CreateNewTrigger" will contain:

trigger t = CreateTrigger()
TriggerRegisterPlayerSelectionEventBJ( t, p, true)
TriggerAddAction( t, function this.SomeAction)

i try use this.. but compiler show error that i can not use "this", i change it to

TriggerAddAction( t, function SomeAction)

And compiler show me "cannot found SomeAction". Again i change it to

TriggerAddAction( t, method SomeAction)

and it show me that it can not found it...

HOW can i use method of structure as action of trigger?

 

[IcemanBo]

Try "function thistype.SomeAction"

 

[ArieZ13th]

I can not correctly tell you about it.. my english is bad. I will try again:

At first i want to use action of trigger with local variables!
I see 2 ways:
1) Use structure (about it i told at prev. post)
2) Use function (as action) with arguments (i dont know how add action with args to trigger)

Do anyone know any way?

 

[ArieZ13th]

Try "function thistype.SomeAction"

Ok, 10 minutes!

 

[ArieZ13th]

Try "function thistype.SomeAction"

if i use this compiler want SomeAction to be a static function, but i dont want this becouse i will may use in SomeAction only static variables.

 

[ArieZ13th]

I understand how vjass and stuctures work!
And... if we wnt to use dynamic functions we must understand how to use method as action with variables(arguments)... but.. i think it is impossible

 

[IcemanBo]

That's not possible because triggers can only register functions without arguments.

 

[ArieZ13th]

it is sad... okeeey

 

[IcemanBo]

You can how ever declare triggers as members, so you can create one single trigger for each struct instance.

 

[ArieZ13th]

And how it helps me?

If i have:

nothimg somefunc() {
local trigger t = GetTriggeringTrigger()
//now i want to use variable 'i'
}

struct MYstr {
trigger t
integer i
nothing new(integer k) {
i = k
t = CreateTrigger()
TriggerRegisterPlayerSelectionEventBJ( t, p, true)
TriggerAddAction( t, function somefunc)
}
}

And how can i use 'i' in function 'somefunc'???

 

[IcemanBo]

You can bind "this" to the trigger using hashtable:
SaveInteger(HashTable, GetHandleId(t), 0, this)

When the trigger runs:
this = LoadInteger(HashTable, GetHandleId(GetTriggeringTrigger()), 0)
this.i // here we go

 

[ArieZ13th]

Yes.. it will work. I dont think about GetHandleId...
But it seems like a long way.
And i found and use now another way.. more simple and must be more efficient (work faster in my case)
but you help me.. thanks

 

[IcemanBo]

No problem, but what ever way do you use?

 

[ArieZ13th]

In structure i start a loop with checking does current unit selected or not.
This function will start not often and will finish after a few seconds. So.. this is symple way to solve my problem as i think

 

[IcemanBo]

If you loop through units, then it's a sub-optimal approach, and not OOP style.
If you loop through players, you don't need a loop.
But anyways, do as you feel good.

 

[ArieZ13th]

may be i told not correctly, but.. I use this:

        loop
            exitwhen (IsUnitSelected(mes_u, own_p) == true)
            TriggerSleepAction(RMaxBJ(bj_WAIT_FOR_COND_MIN_INTERVAL, 2))
        endloop

2 seconds is not so long in my case
but i thing if change it to 0.5 secs.. it will not bad
