[General] Execute a Trigger

[Dr. Boom]

Moin moin =)

I don't know why, but somehow I have little problems with execute triggers. I have a dialog trigger. When some buttons are pressed, then another trigger should be executes (Trigger: AD_Normal). For testing a add the event "call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(gg_trg_AD_Normal,0.05,false)"

1) When I make AD_Normal initial off, the trigger still runs all actions (?).

2) When I execute the trigger (when it's not off or disabled), then nothing happen.

3) When I add an event from another trigger, to AD_Normal, the event for AD_Normal is always (null), so somehow I can't add events to it =O


Ok what the hell is going on here? I just want, if Player(0) press some dialog buttons "Deathmatch" > "Normal" > "20", then the AD_Normal trigger should be execute.

Hope someone can help me with this thing here =S

Greetings and Peace

Meaby you're refering to wrong trigger? Is given trigger really named: 'AD_Normal'? Post map/triggers if you can.

 

[Dr. Boom]

I have to say sorry, but I can't post map here, because is a team project!

And no, I made sure, that this is the only trigger with "AD_Normal"^^

Well, you don't have to post the map, just the problematic triggers.

 

[Dr. Boom]

Well the trigger I want execute is this:

function AD_NORMAL takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    
    loop
        exitwhen i == 11
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(Player(i),0.,0.,8.,"The current mode: |c007EBFF1Arena Deathmatch -Normal-|r. The amount of maximal kills is: " + I2S(udg_D_Int[1]))
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(Player(i),0.,0.,8.,"The areas around the fountains are save - areas. No Player can be attacked, while he's in the area")
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
    set i = 0
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_AD_Normal takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger()

    call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(t,0.05,false) // I tried to remove the event, but then nothing happen anyway
    call TriggerAddAction(t,function AD_NORMAL)
    
    set t = null
endfunction

It's just a normal game massage for now, but I want add something there, which I didn't because even this isn't working.

Edit:
To run this trigger I use these two lines:

                call EnableTrigger(gg_trg_AD_Normal) // Because trigger should be initial off
                call TriggerExecute(gg_trg_AD_Normal) // to run the trigger

 

[Garfield1337]

There's no AD_Normal trigger (actually, there is, but you don't use it). You use local trigger t and function AD_Normal.
All you need to do is change the init function to:

function InitTrig_AD_Normal takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_AD_NORMAL = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(gg_trg_AD_NORMAL,0.05,false) //Although you can remove this line
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_AD_NORMAL,function AD_NORMAL)
endfunction

 

[Dr. Boom]

Well, I'm sorry but I had this way before I changed it into local trigger t.

Anyway I changed it back your way, but still no function =(

 

[Garfield1337]

Umm...try typing Normal instead of NORMAL, i made a typo in trigger name.
Like this

function InitTrig_AD_Normal takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_AD_Normal = CreateTrigger()
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(gg_trg_AD_Normal,0.05,false) //Although you can remove this line
    call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_AD_Normal,function AD_NORMAL)
endfunction

Dude .. ofc I fixed them, because else I couldn't test the map, because JassHelper shows errors^^

 

[Garfield1337]

Works for me. Make sure the TriggerExecute function runs.

 

[Dr. Boom]

This is a joke isn't it? I tested your map, but for me it doesn't work -_-;

===
Ok now I know that this works for you but not for me, I'll better re-install Warcraft, the editor and these things and lets see then.

 

[Bannar]

I bet you did miss type or something. If your war3 version 1.26 reinstalling won't change anything, especially if before that issue everything (other functions/triggers) worked fine for you.

why dont you just put it in the map header and do...

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • YOUR EVENT
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call AD_NORMAL()
