Hashtabl0z not working

[Kercyn]

Hello everybody!

First of all, I would like you to know that I've read this like a hundred times, and yes, I've tried to make it work myself. The problem is that it cannot load anything from the hashtable (all it prints is "0.000"). What am I doing wrong? Oh, and please don't tell me about leaks etc etc. All I need is some help on hashtables.

Here's the trigger:

Rawr!

• StalkInit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink
  • Actions
    • Set StalkTotalDistance = (Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Target point of ability being cast))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (DEBUG: StalkTotalDistance: + (String(StalkTotalDistance)))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • StalkTotalDistance Greater than 800.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Set StalkTotalDistance = 800.00
      • Else - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (DEBUG: StalkTotalDistance: + (String(StalkTotalDistance)))
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Target point of ability being cast) as 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Stalk
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (DEBUG: + (String((Load 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) from Stalk))))
    • Hashtable - Save 800 as 1 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Stalk
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Triggering unit) as 2 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Stalk
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to StalkGroup

Any help appreciated!

Have you even initialized the hashtable?

Have you initialized the hashtable?

• Hashtable - Create a hashtable
• Set My_Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)

You can add those lines to map initialization trigger.

You're leaking a lot.

I have initialized the hashtable on another trigger, on map initialization. And I know I'm leaking. My problem now is the hashtable, not the leaks. I'll fix them when everything else works correctly.

• Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Target point of ability being cast) as 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Stalk
• Game - Display to (All players) the text: (DEBUG: + (String((Load 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) from Stalk)))

Wait, you save a location, what do you expect the message to display?

 

[Kercyn]

Damn, you're right. When I wrote it, I thought that it will display the distance. Thanks for pointing out that silly mistake of mine

It works now, but I guess you'll be hearing from me again, on another topic. I'm sure I'll make something stupid soon. Thanks again

EDIT: Maker, I'm not leaking
Unless you mean the unit group, which is needed because there's a periodic event relying on that group. If I destroy it, won't it screw up the other trigger?

 

[Maker]

Here's the trigger without leaks, there was only one leak after all. Remember to clear the target point of ability being cast when you don't need it anymore.

Trigger

• StalkInit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink
  • Actions
    • Temp_Loc_1 = Position of (Triggering unit)
    • Temp_Loc_2 = Target point of ability being cast
    • Set StalkTotalDistance = (Distance between Temp_Loc_1 and Temp_Loc_2
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (DEBUG: StalkTotalDistance: + (String(StalkTotalDistance)))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • StalkTotalDistance Greater than 800.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Set StalkTotalDistance = 800.00
      • Else - Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (DEBUG: StalkTotalDistance: + (String(StalkTotalDistance)))
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Temp_Loc_2) as 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Stalk
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (DEBUG: + (String((Load 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) from Stalk))))
    • Hashtable - Save 800 as 1 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Stalk
    • Hashtable - Save Handle Of(Triggering unit) as 2 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Stalk
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to StalkGroup
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc_1)

Thanks. I didn't know that it leaked
