[Trigger] how do i do MUI

[Dracula]

Hello, how do i make my triggers a MUI, i saw the tut on the trigger forums but i dont understand it.

isnt there a easier way to do MUI with looping and if/then/else?

Although I would recommend you learn JASS, MUI in GUI would be very difficult.

The only answer I can give you is to create a seperate trigger for every player that can activate the ability/trigger you wanted to make MUI.

The reason if/then/else and for loops are ineffectual for MUI in GUI is that the same trigger cannot revert back to an action in the beginning (Which would be required if, say, a unit cast the same spell while another was half-finished) without use of the loop. However, even if the loop were implemented, it would have to keep ON looping to check if anybody else cast the spell while it was off finishing another spell, causing an infinate loop .

Someone else might know though.

MUI IN GUI is very hard, I suggest you to learn JASS if you're up for MUI spells. Look at our tutorial section, as well as tutorial section on www.wc3campaigns.net and www.wc3jass.com

the difficulty in making a spell MUI in GUI is depending on the spell

you might want to post a trigger and explain

Spells lag when done in GUI, they have loads of unnecessary GUI shit, so ALL SPELLS should be done in JASS.

but then they say it takes 2 years to learn JASS, it sounds kinda scary, and ive tried to learn to awhile ago, and got lost at a few begining step.

i tried using variable unit, and do - Set Variable (unit)[player number of owner of casting unit] = casting unit. does this work?

Jass learning takes MAX 2 WEEKS, if you DON't DO IT FREQUENT

• Set TempUnit[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Triggering unit)

i did this, but it was still not MUI, do i have to do this to every variable?

EDIT: i did be happy to learn JASS, any sites with a easy tut? but currently i dont have time for it, am making spells for a hero spell contest.

you need no tutorial though you can pick tutorials at outr tut section and those sites : www.wc3campaigns.net, www.wc3jass.com

well, i looked at the sites, i dont know a thing about JASS, so that fact i dont know a thing their saying >.>

btw it is possible if i make a trigger for every player for the spells right? so do i make those every player a variable, or make for every player a set of spells.

and do you have any ss or triggers i can see to see how MUI works? i could use it in a hurry.

you MUST REALIZE that spells in GUI are junk most of time. They are even minor flaws that can completely fuck up the spell, like not stopping timers etc. So I STRONGLY recommend you to learn JASS in order to create spells.

I find using locals in gui makes MUI very easy.

You can't use timers anyway, and timers are main structure of JASS spells (most of time)

i think my spells are so far good, i like them and only one more spell before i can submit the map as resource, but i first have to learn how to do MUI, i would do it anyway, hard or very hard, as long as it works with loop and if/then/else.
