[General] DestroyTrigger(Trigger)

[aple]

When using the function

DestroyTrigger()

How do I destroy a trigger that isn't DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())? I want a separate trigger to run, which after 30 seconds, will remove itself so it doesn't run anymore. But until that 30 seconds comes along, it needs to still be running.

So I figured I'd make a separate trigger that goes off after elapsed game time is 30 seconds, then remove the first trigger (Along with this one), but I don't know how to find the name of the trigger and thus the Custom Script gives me an error saying "Expected a Name"

Are you talking about a trigger in GUI or in JASS?

If GUI, then write "gg_trg_TriggerName" into the brackets without the " ". While TriggerName is obviously the name of your trigger.

In JASS you can store the trigger into a variable and then write variable name into brackets. (you also can use this method with a GUI-trigger)

EDIT: Nvm, forgot to put call.

That worked, thanks. =)

• Custom script: DestroyTrigger(gg_trg_Replace_Units)

I have a trigger named "Replace Units" but this does not seem to work =x

You might need to evoke the variable somehow otherwise WC3 might not instantiate it.

I do have one more question.

Does "Clicked Dialog Button" return a Triggering Player?

What I mean is, would this work?

• PickedRace
  • Events
    • Dialog - A dialog button is clicked for PickRaceDialog
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer PlayerIndex) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Triggering player) Equal to (Player(PlayerIndex))
            • (Clicked dialog button) Equal to CustomRace
          • Then - Actions
            • Set PlayerPickedCustomRace[PlayerIndex] = True
          • Else - Actions

If not, how can I return the triggering player?

(Looking at the code, does not appear to do so)

Yes, if you do a general TriggerRegisterDialogEvent, GetTriggerPlayer() will return the player variable who clicked a button or otherwise interacted with that dialog in some way (though button clicking is the only way I know).

If you do a simple button click event, however, GetTriggerPlayer() will always return null. Never use button click events but dialog click events.

local trigger t
set t = CreateTrigger()
call TriggerRegisterDialogEvent(t, myDialog)
//add your actions/conditions now

I really don't know JASS that well, you'll have to explain it as if you were explaining to a child. =x

(GALAXY QUEST REFERENCE, AWAAAAAAY~!!)

You should learn about "PlayerNumberOfPlayer", because you don't need a loop to find out the correct index.

Set PlayerPickedCustomRace[PlayerNumberOf(TriggeringPlayer)] = True

And "(Clicked dialog button) Equal to CustomRace" could be the trigger condition.
