You can use this library to initialize your Lua scripts, rather than being restricted to GUI triggers to execute your code for you.
Examples
Lua:
do -- Global Initialization 3.0.0.1
-- Special thanks to Tasyen, Forsakn and Troll-Brain
local call = pcall
if try then call = try end --Requires optional Error Console by Eikonium: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/lua-debug-utils-ingame-console-etc.330758
local PRINT_CAUGHT_ERRORS = true
local errors = {}
local gFuncs = {}
local tFuncs = {}
local iFuncs = {}
local sFuncs = {}
function OnGlobalInit(func) -- Runs once all variables are instantiated.
gFuncs[#gFuncs+1] = func
end
function OnTrigInit(func) -- Runs once all InitTrig_ are called
tFuncs[#tFuncs+1] = func
end
function OnMapInit(func) -- Runs once all Map Initialization triggers are run
iFuncs[#iFuncs+1] = func
end
function OnGameStart(func) -- Runs once the game has actually started
sFuncs[#sFuncs+1] = func
end
local function saveError(where, error)
if not PRINT_CAUGHT_ERRORS then return end
errors[#errors+1] = "Global Initialization: caught error in " .. where .. ": " .. error
end
local function printErrors()
if #errors < 1 then return end
print("|cffff0000Global Initialization: " .. #errors .. " errors occured during Initialization.|r")
for _, error in ipairs(errors) do
print(error)
end
errors = nil
end
local function run(list, name)
for _, func in ipairs(list) do
local result, error = call(func)
if not result then
saveError(name, error)
end
end
end
local function runInitialization()
run(iFuncs, "OnMapInit")
iFuncs = nil
end
local function runTriggerInit()
run(tFuncs, "OnTrigInit")
tFuncs = nil
local old = RunInitializationTriggers
if old then
function RunInitializationTriggers()
old()
runInitialization()
end
else
runInitialization()
end
end
local function runGlobalInit()
run(gFuncs, "OnGlobalInit")
gFuncs = nil
local old = InitCustomTriggers
if old then
function InitCustomTriggers()
old()
runTriggerInit()
end
else
runTriggerInit()
end
end
local oldBliz = InitBlizzard
function InitBlizzard()
oldBliz()
local old = InitGlobals
if old then
function InitGlobals()
old()
runGlobalInit()
end
else
runGlobalInit()
end
-- Start timer to run gamestart-functions and then print all caught errors if PRINT_CAUGHT_ERRORS
TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 0.00, false, function()
DestroyTimer(GetExpiredTimer())
run(sFuncs, "OnGameStart")
sFuncs = nil
if PRINT_CAUGHT_ERRORS then
printErrors()
end
end)
end
end--End of Global InitializationExamples
Lua:
OnGlobalInit(function() print "udg_ variables have been assigned" end)
OnTrigInit(function() print "gg_trg_ variables have been assigned" end)
OnMapInit(function() print "Map Initialization triggers have been run" end)
OnGameStart(function() print "The game has started" end)
