Editor Bug

[DarkBlueLacky]

Using JNGP 2.0, haven't had any issues until all of a sudden I was attempting to fix a weird problem I was having and it started happening.

Essentially, I can't enable any triggers. I can save and compile maps just fine, but if I go to disable a trigger, and then re-enable it, it won't allow me to enable anything. I figured maybe it was just my map so I started a brand new one and tried disabling and re-enabling the standard included "Melee Initialization" trigger, and oddly enough it starting throwing me the same compile errors.

The error I was trying to fix was that a point variable for some odd reason would reset itself. I tried deleting the variable to find ALL occurrences of it, to ensure I wasn't changing it or removing it in a custom script somewhere, but I found no other place where the variable was edited.

This is the trigger where the variable is set.

• HS Select
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions

    • Set p_hero[tempInt] = (Last created unit)
    • Selection - Select p_hero[tempInt] for tempP
    • Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for tempPGroup
    • Game - Display to tempPGroup for 12.00 seconds the text: You've chosen your ...
    • Camera - Pan camera for tempP to tempLoc over 0.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of p_hero[tempInt] using Abilities\Spells\Other\Awaken\Awaken.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Unit - Remove (Casting unit) from the game
    • For each (Integer tempInt) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Deny shared vision of hs_hero[(tempInt - 1)] to tempP
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • tempP Not equal to (Player(tempInt))
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Make tempP treat (Player(tempInt)) as an Ally with shared vision
          • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Deny shared vision of Azura 0009 <gen> to tempP
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc)
    • Player Group - Remove tempP from tempPGroup

This is where I figured out that the point returns null.

Have you checked if any of these options are interfering with it?

 

[DarkBlueLacky]

I don't have the following checked off:
[ ] Enable TESH
[ ] Enable Colorizer
[ ] Don't let WE disable triggers
[ ] Always allow trigger enable
[ ] Mute Editor sounds

Yes I understand I can re-enable the "Always allow trigger enable" but I'm not entirely sure that would be a good fix for the problem.
I should be able to enable the triggers by default, especially considering I've tested it with the default triggers that are created for melee maps, and it still shows me the error, correct?

Also this doesn't help with the weird issue I'm having where one of my variables is reset to null. They may not be connected issues at all, but it does seem somewhat strange.

I can't figure out why my location variable would null itself and I see no place where I would have nulled it.

EDIT: I didn't like the changes in JNGP 2.0 regardless so I reverted back to JNGP5d and the script error I've been getting has been fixed but I'm still having the issue with the variable being nulled. I'll post a topic in the trigger help section.

This happened to me once, the only way i could make it work was to create a new map and copy the triggers. (There was a problem with war3Map.j i think)

Well, you can use a backup too
