[Trigger] Got a problem

[adamhun]

Hi all!
I'm a not a pro at triggers but I can make some easy things. Well, this thing got me a headache. So I want to make a switchable uniform. This is the uniform on.

• uniform on
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -uniform on as An exact match
  • Conditions
    • (Entered chat string) Equal to -uniform on
  • Actions
    • Set playerpos = (Position of Villager (Male) 0209 <gen>)
    • Game Cache - Create a game cache from MahRPG.w3v
    • Game Cache - Store Villager (Male) 0209 <gen> as Player(civilian) of Unit in (Last created game cache)
    • Unit - Remove Villager (Male) 0209 <gen> from the game
    • Unit - Create 1 soldier for Player 1 (Red) at playerpos facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set soldier = (Last created unit)
    • Trigger - Turn on uniform off <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Uniform off

• uniform off
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -uniform off as An exact match
  • Conditions
    • (Entered chat string) Equal to -uniform off
  • Actions
    • Set playerpossoldier = (Position of (Last created unit))
    • Unit - Remove soldier from the game
    • Game Cache - Restore player(civilian) of Unit from (Last created game cache) for Player 1 (Red) at playerpossoldier facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Trigger - Turn on uniform on <gen>
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

It works well until the second change. When I want to get on the uniform second time, it not works. Someone could help me with this?(and before you say, I can't make it in JASS because I'm epic noob with it)

Why do you save it in a Game Cache? Normal variable is not good enough?

 

[Pharaoh_]

First off, make it a substring, not an exact match and also "-uniform", not "-uniform on", so that we don't use seperate triggers.

• uniform on
• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -uniform as A substring

The condition should look like this:

• (Substring((Entered chat string), 10, (Length of (Entered chat string))

It's a String Comparison, scroll to Substring.

New trigger shoud look like this:

• uniform on
• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -uniform as A substring
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Text = (Substring((Entered chat string), 10, (Length of (Entered chat string))
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • Text Equal to on
    • Then - Actions
      • //Actions
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • Text Equal to off
        • Then - Actions
          • //Actions
        • Else - Actions

Pharaoh_: allright, I'll try it

Rednek: "Why do you save it in a Game Cache? Normal variable is not good enough?" - A variable can store inventory? If yes, then will make it a variable.

 

[Berb]

A variable can store inventory? If yes, then will make it a variable.

A variable can store anything that the game-cache can.

boolean
integer
real
string
handle

These are the primary data-types provided by Warcraft III, and they can be used to store data of the associated type. For example, set someStringVar = "This is a string". In any situation where you need to use game-cache you can alternatively use a global variable, or a global array variable.
