[Trigger] Hero Revive Trigger???

[qbz23]

• Events
• Unit - a unit dies
• Conditions
• ((Owner of (Dying Unit)) Controller) Equal to User
• Actions
• Wait 5.00 Seconds
• Hero - Instantly revive (Dying Unit) at (Center of Region 077 <gen>), Show reveal graphics

This does not work.... anyone got an idea why not?

Use (Triggering Unit) instead of (dying unit) because it is local to the function. [Essentially, it won't be overwritten]

Also, make sure Region 077 is a valid region, and be sure that the unit that is dying is a hero for the revive function to work.

 

[qbz23]

still nothing... I have NO idea on this one... anyone else got a clue?

For Christ's sake. It's because you're using a Wait at the very beginning of your trigger. Event responses don't work after waits. This has been mentioned time and time again in various posts all throughout the Triggers & Scripts section. If you remove the wait, it will work. If you save the "Dying unit" or "Triggering unit" as a variable, then do the wait and use the variable to reference the unit then it will also work.

Event Responses work just fine after waits. =)

@qbz23: I just tested your trigger and it works fine. Add:

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: The hero exists!

Before or after the wait to see if the code even executes.

Really? 100% of the time?

I am not sure. There might be some cases where it doesn't work, but I haven't had any problems with it yet. I tested it using different waits (only a couple of seconds each though) and used both (Triggering Unit) and (Dying Unit) and they both seemed to work. [Except trig is obviously better, but yeah, you get the point] =D

 

[Berb]

You're right, at the beginning of the trigger there are no problems (at least in a couple of really low key tests) but I would say it's dangerous ground. In this case, the trigger the author posted works fine.

 

[qbz23]

Tried without wait... no luck
Tried with specific units... (mountain king dies, revive mountain king)
There's gotta be some kind of problem here, does anyone have an idea of something in gameplay constants or hero stats or something that might mess this up?

 

[SlayerII]

try to remove the contition. The rest of the trigger have to work.

 

[qbz23]

I did, and it doesn't... so what might have i done to really mess with my map so that it doesn't work?

 

[qbz23]

Changing the trigger to periodic, then instantly off, triggered by another trigger fixed it... no idea why.

 

[Berb]

You don't happen to have any really large arrays do you?
