Help! My triggers don't do anything anymore!

[NightfangII]

Hi all,
I have been triggering (mostly GUI a bit of JASS) for a while and have been working on making a squad system. Well, I did. Then I added a trigger to autoreinforce a squad (similar to DoW)... and now none of the triggers do anything. Even the trigger which simply creates a town hall for each player at the beginning of the game.
I've unpacked the map and checked the war3map.j file and all the triggers seem fine in there, they just don't run in Wc3.
Any ideas as to how to fix it?
Thanks a lot,
NightfangII

Well if your triggers worked before you created your 'autoreinforce' trigger than thats probably the trigger causing the issue -_-

To make sure, delete it and check if the triggers work.

Or disable it, so that you can properly debug it afterward.

If the trigger is in fact the problem, you can try posting it here for help.

 

[NightfangII]

I've tried both deleting it and disabling it. Neither had any affect.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

You've most likely made some changes elsewhere. Any ideas?

 

[NightfangII]

I'm pretty sure the only other change I made in the entire map was changing the Order String for a channel based spell from channel to chemicalrage.

 

[Restor]

well, I know this bug. And none of trigger you will create now will work.

unfortunately, only way is to make new map

 

[NightfangII]

ok ty
Is there anything specific that causes it it, or is it kind of a random appearance?

 

[-Insert Comment-]

I had a problem before where all the triggers on the map stopped working. However, I found that it was actually caused by my global variables. I had several integer arrays of size 8190, and for some reason, when I reduced the size of one of them, all the triggers worked again.

 

[NightfangII]

Okay, I made a new map, didn't change anything, and ran the test. World Editor popped a trigger error (I mean 4975 errors) and will not run the test.
Anyone know what's happening?

Ty, I have a group of large arrays (that size) I'll try making them smaller.

 

[NightfangII]

I tried making the variable arrays (1 boolean, 1 unit group, 1 unit) to size 25, and world editor crashes whenever I try to save or test it...

Dude, when you change the size of any variables in the Variable Editor that doesn't change the array size... This value says how much of the array places should be initialized.
INTEGER I size 10 start value 0
all variables from 0 - 10 are initialized with the number 0, BUT you can use this: set I[11] = 2. That doesn't cause an error. But if you use the variabel to something else then a set action the trigger will crash. Because I[11] isn't 0 its nothing...
The size of any array is evertime 8191. Or +1 but you shouldn't use it.
But I know the bug, do you add somewhere an event to a trigger in the map initialisation? One time I had a wrong Event, and that killed all triggers...

[NightfangII]

Yes I have a trigger that runs on initialization.
[nm i get what you mean]
I'll try disabling my initialization trigger.

 

[NightfangII]

I tried disabling trigger that runs on initialization, but WE crashed while saving (multiple times) so I couldn't test it.

 

[TriggerHappy]

8912 is too big of an array.

8192 is the max an array can go.

 

[NightfangII]

Ok I'll try to remember that and use [8191] in the future, but atm I can't do anything because of the WE...
(I actually meant 8192... but I'll still try to use 8191)

 

[Vulcano]

Just a little correction. I think you better post your map because it seems to crash on everything you do.

 

[cedi]

There should be a bug with the last place. When you safe the map ingame wc3 ignores it. So when you load the map Place 8192 has no value == trigger crashes when you use it...

Do you use a special editor?

[NightfangII]

No I've been using the normal wc3 editor (unless i counts a special since its the mac version). I've never actually used the very last place in the array if that means anything.

Do u just upgrade your warcraft patch to 1.24? I got that error after i patch 1.24. And it caused by i download bad patch, and got new one from Blizzard.com

 

[NightfangII]

I got the patch after the triggers stopped working (but before my WE stopped working).
I just reinstalled Wc3 (and repatched it, hoping that wasn't a mistake) and I'll see about getting the patch from blizzard.com. ugh

 

[Foopad]

Hmm, I've had a similar problem, but that was because I was using an outdated version of WE on my laptop. When I updated it all problems were solved.

 

[NightfangII]

I've tried dling the patch from blizzard.com and the patcher refuses to run.
I'm going to try on my other computer.
Maybe it's 'cause the mac WE is always an older version than the current one XP

 

[NightfangII]

Okay, on my windows comp the WE works.
It seems that lowering the size of my arrays made all the difference (ty -Insert Comment-). The triggers work with the one running on initialization (tg).
The arrays don't work at 8192 nor down to 8150, then I haven't tested between 8150 and 8000, but 8000 works fine.

Thanks for all the help. Now I'm a bit worried to update my wc3... eh... just won't do it for a while.
