"Error - Divide by zero" when I try to devide by worker minerals

[Br3akth3w1nd]

Hello guys! I have a strange problem. I couldnt find a way to set unit supply cost as an integer variable, so I midified the minerals cost of every unit to be equal to its supply cost. Everything is working perfect with army units, but not with worker units. For some reason an error appears "Cannot divide by zero". Every other type of unit works. Even the zerglings, that mineral cost is 1 too (like scv, probe and drone - the "cannot divide by zero" ones). Any Idea?

OK guys I did it -
Variable - Set Number of Units[1] = (200 / (Trunc(((Unit type from Unit[(Triggering player)][1]) Supplies Used))))

Two things you need to start doing right now:

1. Combine your two posts into one so it isn't a double post.
2. Use variables for Triggering Player n' what not.

As for your actual question, lolidunno

He solved it by finding the typecast for fixed to int.

2. Use variables for Triggering Player n' what not.

Depends. If he references it only once in the function then allocating it to a variable would actually make the trigger run slower.

What? So you guys want to say, that if I have many actions, which involve finding the triggering player (in only one trigger) - I should find the triggering player only once and set it to a variable in the start of the trigger, so the system wont have to indentify it in every action?

It reduces coupling to that procedure which is a good programming practice. There is a speed advantage as well if the native call takes longer than a local access.
