[Solved] Hashtable Question

[Map Designer]

Hello guys,

here is what I want to do
Each player has a timer that starts at when some event occurs. This will be array Timer[N]. The event of starting timer will be when townhall is built
Also, Each Player will have some unit variable Townhall[N], where N is player number

My question is:
could there possible be event in one trigger that says
Timer N expires
order townhall[of the timer or of N which is the player Number] to train peasant
let timer go again

in other words, is there any way I can axis the N of the timer array? like... There is triggering player.. but I havent seen triggering timer or something -.-....Edit: ok ive just seen triggering timer.. but is there a way to find out what N of the triggering timer is?

im also not very confident of my hastable yet, but let that aside for now



Edit: would be pretty easy if I can create trigger array maybe?
Edit: ok i just discovered there can be a trigger variable !!!! Edit: but how are we supposed to set it all up?

yes that is possible. There is not even a need for hashtables.

with

set some_timer_variable = GetExpiredTimer()

its quite simple, for learning I wont show any trigger unless you ask for it.

I did find this

• Countdown Timer - Start (Expiring timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds

Which makes me manipulate the expiring timer. But how can I take The index N of the expiring timer?

One Timer per player, so i guess it would be totally fine to check for the correct timer in a loop. Just use a for loop and compare the expired timer to the ones in the array. GUI cant compare triggers if i remember correctly, so will have to compare Key(Expired Timer) == Key(TimerArray[Integer A]) or use a custom script,

Just a quick question,
the key is some real value, yes?
Edit: also, I can get id of expiring timer, but how can i get id of timer[A]
when I go to variables, it says no variable of this type
I use gui
Edit: must I put it in hashtable then take it from there? thats sounds... psshhhh

Integer not real

== Key(TimerArray[Integer A])

dont use integer A/B it is slower and less efficient than using ur own variable.

• Custom script: set udg_HandleIdNoTable = GetHandleId(GetExpiredTimer())

thats what i used for my problem i hope it works

Edit: Ok Brilliant!
Thank you very very much
you're awsome!

ok
my solution us pretty much the same just a lik more gui
ill post it when i have sometime

This is the trigger I used. I still needed to use some custom scripts, specifically in GetHandleId() function

Make sure the initial size of the timer array is 12 or that ypu create the timers somewhere, otherwise the timers do not exist for player number 2 and up.

Yes I am sure of that. but... ummm timer of size 12 start from timer[1] to [12] or from timer[0] to [11]?

 

[Maker]

Setting initial size to 12 creates the timers for indexes 0-12, so there is one extra if you use player numbers of the players as the index. No need to worry about that.

Ok, cool
