[Trigger] Hashtable question

spencenator · Dec 24, 2009

So i've got these two triggers to spawn a dummy rocket. They use a hashtable timer so that the rockets spawn in salvo of 5 (btw other trigger make the rockets move, but those work for sure). The unit this is triggered for has a cooldown of 7, so it goes like this:

unit attacks

5 rockets spawn in a salvo of 1 per half second

cooldown for 4.5 sec

But, it doesn't appear the timer is working, because when the unit attacks another unit, the rockets start firing, but never stop firing. What is wrong with my triggers? triggers below.

NOTE: the offset when setting Rocket_Point2 is for if i decide to change the spot on the unit the rocket is fired from

EDIT: and yell if there are any leaks, i've been having problems with lag

baassee · Dec 24, 2009

where is the turn on rocket laungher shell trigger?

as you mention about point2 I see no point in to change

I have no idea why it shouldnt stop shooting, if it were indexing, I would have seen it but as I'm a sucker at hashtable I can't figure out why it wont stop

EDIT: about the sheild triggers: they all work flawlessly, however, large battles with sheilds enabled causes a lot of lag. If you wish to try to figure out why, it would be a huge help

Dont destroy rocket_group because its a global, if you destroy it on first run you cannot use it again.....

and, if Rocket_Group is empty the trigger won't check if the rocket_shell is empty because you placed the rocket_shell check inside the actions done when Rocket_Group is not empty.... which will be always true after the first run because the group is destroyed....

spencenator · Dec 27, 2009

rocket_group isn't a global, i create it in that very trigger. It gets set every run as units within 50 of bla bla bla...

Rocket_Shell IS a global, it's the unit group for all rockets in existence. So just because Rocket_Group is dead doesn't mean Rocket_Shell is empty.

Anyways, the problem remains that my hashtable doesn't seem to be counting down.

Maker · Dec 28, 2009

Your keys were a bit off. I changed the keys with which you save the timer values.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=3xux5n

Also you don't seem to be using this for anything

Set Attack_Target_Loc = (Position of (Load Attack_Target_Unit of (Key (Picked unit)) in Attack_Target_Hash))

and you don't remove it, so it leaks. You may want to remove that line.

spencenator · Dec 28, 2009

Yup, salvo works. Thanks, but now i have another kinda-hashtable related question. I'm working on a system for armor. The armor is like a second set of hitpoints, but stored in a hashtable, and represented by the charges remaining in an item. Before you ask why not just give the unit more hitpoints instead of armor, i have some stuff planned that damages internal systems like engines and weapons when the ship loses hitpoints. Armour would be a way for the ship to take physical damage while protecting those systems, and it allows for a greater division of labor among ships.

The amount of armor is accurately represented in the inventory by the charges, but when the unit receives damage from a shell, the damage isn't correctly absorbed by the armor (in fact, armor is ignored completely). Here are the armor triggers, along with the trigger that includes shell damage:

Instead of (Key Temp_Unit), you should use (Key (Picked Unit)).

Post the map, please.

What is the idea of that item clicking thingy?

spencenator · Jan 2, 2010

it tells the unit to pick up the item, unless there is a way to give them the item directly?

The unit group is always empty, so it goes to the else thingy and not to the armorvalue branch.

For the item creation, you could use Hero - create item for hero.

spencenator · Jan 3, 2010

if that was true the units would never receive damage. The units are damaged as if the armor isn't there, and the armorvalue never drops, the trigger never even sets it to zero like it should. Am i screwing up the save to armorvalue line?

You're mixing integers and reals

mmk, i got the armor to absorb damage, but it never dies now. New trigger:

You're still mixing integers and reals with the armor value.

spencenator · Jan 4, 2010

i'm confused on whats a real number and whats an integer, i know hashtables are all integers, but every thing else i don't know the difference. This map is my first experiment with hashtables and complex triggers, so bear with me throughout my confusions. Thanks for the help

Then - Actions

Hashtable - Save ((Load (Key armorvalue) of (Key (Picked unit)) from armorhash) - 75) as (Key armorvalue) of (Key (Picked unit)) in armorhash

75.00 is real, 75 is integer. You saved the armor value as an integer if I remember correctly, then you compare it to real value, and things go wrong.

real numbers can have decimals while integers are whole numbers.

fixed, but off-topic question: are posts marked as unready if the last post has been edited since you viewed it?
