[JASS] Event/Condition with Variables

[Yixx]

Hello people,,

As always, i go straight to the point,,

When i register a player event, and i use a variable in it,
like this:
call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(t, udg_Player, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH, null)

will it run only for the preset player? (The player that is initialized as that variable), or will it run for what player is in the variable at that moment?

Lets say on initialization, udg_Player is Player(0), red,,
It runs for Player Red then,
When time is 5 seconds, i change the variable to Player(1), blue,,
Will the trigger now run for Player Red, or Player Blue??

I actually have the same question for a condition, but after thinking for a while i found out that it does (i used it in GUI some times),,
(or does it?)

Thanks in Advance! =)

udg_Player is a value. Upon registering the player event, that value is used, not the variable itself. In other words: changing udg_Player AFTER registering the event will NOT change the player for which the event was registered.

That was what i was looking for, Then a condition should do it,,
Thanks =), also for quick reply!

Events get passed the value of the variable, as they are natives and they use that value until the trigger is destroyed.

Conditions however are run as function statments everytime something executes them, thus they use the value of the variable at that time of execution.

Inorder for a dynamic event, you need to update a system every time you change the value so that it destroys the current trigger and creates a new one with the new event and same actions / conditions. This however has its own problems as destroying triggers can have wierd and unstable effects.

Yes, thanks for clearing that up =),,
So best i can do is register events for every player and check through a condition if it is my variable,,

thanks,,
