[Trigger] How to import the trigger??

[pedigree]

I copy the trigger to my map but when I start game it's error...how?why?

 

[69stehend]

was it a gui trigger? if yes:
1. delete the trigger again
2. go to File -> Preconfiguration -> General -> Add unknown variables on import of new triggers (or smth like that^^)
3. paste your trigger again

beside that, can you post the trigger here pls?

 

[SeriousEnemy]

Do you enabled "automatically create unknown variables"? Or followed the introductions on how to download the spell?

Further details would be useful

edit: Oh 2 at the very same moment again

 

[Xerxes]

Maybe the trigger you imported didn't fit well with the other triggers in your map?
Have you tried ticking the box in Preferences saying "automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data"?

You could post the trigger so we could help you more.

 

[BloodDrunk]

you all three just said the same thing...

 

[Binsu]

To make it different, maybe there is something wrong also with things involved in abilities, items, spells and more... We all know they dont copy themselves on another map except if there is an item, spell, and etc like that... on that map.

For example you attempted to copy your trigger that involves your custom spell, that will not copy the spell into the triggers except if there is a spell like that in the map your gonna paste that to.

But really, what error are you refering to? Please explain further and complete.

 

[pedigree]

Still don't understand!!! I'm newbie here

this is what u need to check follow step 2.
then delete and paste ur trigger again.

If this doesnt work post the trigger here so we can take a look at it.

or post ur map and the trigger so someone can do it for u.

 

[Xerxes]

When we say post your trigger do this:

Go to your trigger, then right-click the trigger name above the Events. Click Copy as Text, then paste it here, in your next post or your first post, then put it inside the Trigger tag.

edit: ur problem has to be in the way ur trying to copy them to ur map. i cant see anything that would cause the trigger to not work correctly.

 

[Xerxes]

Maybe if you trust us enough you could post the map and we could do the importing for you.

i posted tht above lol just not in the exact same words haha.

Maybe he needs to read it again; but my deepest apologies for re-stating what you said.

lol i dont care that u restate it haha. and its easy to skip something like that.

 

[pedigree]

that 400.3KB is my map....thanks

 

[Xerxes]

@deathismyfriend take it.

 

[Binsu]

that 400.3KB is my map....thanks

Firstly, I have tested the map and when I copy pasted it to the WorldeditTestMap, the Waveform skills changed into Counter Helix. Make sure you copy/paste the skill Waveform into the map too because in default, the WorldEditTestMap doesnt have a skill Waveform. Thats all the problem, I have seen.

 

[pedigree]

I still have many spells need to put in my map==...what does mean Set WF_Caster?And where can I find it?

that means I need to delete the Counter Helix first?

 

[Binsu]

that means I need to delete the Counter Helix first?

In this trigger:

• Wave Form
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Counter Helix
  • Actions
    • Set WF_Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set WF_Caster_Loc = (Position of WF_Caster)
    • Set WF_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set WF_Angle = (Angle from WF_Caster_Loc to WF_Point)
    • Set WF_Distance = (Distance between WF_Caster_Loc and WF_Point)
    • Set WF_Check = False
    • Unit - Turn collision for WF_Caster Off
    • Unit - Hide WF_Caster
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_WF_Caster_Loc)
    • Trigger - Turn on Wave Form Action <gen>
    • Wait until (WF_Check Equal to True), checking every 0.10 seconds
    • Unit - Unhide WF_Caster
    • Selection - Select WF_Caster for (Owner of WF_Caster)
    • Unit - Turn collision for WF_Caster On
    • Trigger - Turn off Wave Form Action <gen>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_WF_Point)

Find this:

• (Ability being cast) Equal to Counter Helix

and Change the Counter Helix to the Waveform ability.

AND also when copy/pasting the trigger, the Turn On trigger abilities in the trigger might be missing, just add the Waveform Action there.

And those Set WF_Casters are variables, there are no problems in there except if you didnt turn on create unknown variable as what others said.

 

[deathismyfriend]

if ur stuck i can do it shortly.

also plz dont double post instead hit the edit button on ur last post

edit: heres the map i didnt test the abilities but it doesnt give an error if it doesnt work tell me.

 

[pedigree]

Set WF_Casters are variables??that means I can put whatever I want?

 

[Binsu]

Set WF_Casters are variables??that means I can put whatever I want?

What I meant is they are variables set to something to save an information in the trigger for later use for example:

You have a variable Unit and you do this:

• Set Unit = (Last Created Unit)

That means the variable Unit will be set to the Last Created Unit. Now if you are gonna order a Last Created Unit for example to cast a spell, your not anymore gonna use that but you are gonna use the variable unit.

Setting Variables saves you from risks and sometimes bugs in triggers.

Sorry, my english not very good==...this is my trigger after I put it in my map May you help me see?

Here's the test map again. You forgot to change the Counter Helix to Waveform as what I've said.

I've also put up an Archmage in the game with the Waveform ability for testing purpose, try casting it and it will work!

[pedigree]

[deathismyfriend]

Thanks!! I just don't know why the action in my trigger is transparent...haha

umm do u mean the turn on / turn off trigger action ?

if u do its because when the one trigger was added the other trigger wasnt there so it shaded it.

to fix it just double click the action then click the ok button.

 

[pedigree]

Nope...I mean I copy/paste the trigger to my map so action it will be shaded

 

[Binsu]

Nope...I mean I copy/paste the trigger to my map so action it will be shaded

What do you mean by shaded? The action will like dont work? Are those action like running other triggers?

 

[pedigree]

the action and that spell will don't work and with shaded....If I start the game,The game will say the trigger is error

 

[Binsu]

the action and that spell will don't work and with shaded....If I start the game,The game will say the trigger is error

Maybe it disables itself, weird. This should not happen.

 

[deathismyfriend]

i happens when u copy and paste a trigger that uses a trigger turn on or trigger turn of action for a trigger that has not been made yet.

do what i said above and it will work.

[Binsu]

what do u mean u cant do anything to it ? what did u try to do. explain plz

 

[pedigree]

how to make the shaded trigger back to normal ??

 

[deathismyfriend]

double click on the action that is shaded then click the ok button.

plz read all the new messages lol i think this is the third time im saying this.

 

[pedigree]

Ya..I know it,but I didn't see any "OKAY" word there,and some trigger didn't have turn on/off

 

[Binsu]

Ya..I know it,but I didn't see any "OKAY" word there,and some trigger didn't have turn on/off

There is. When you are configuring and your finish click OK or either Cancel, click OK.

 

[deathismyfriend]

There is an ok button. U have to double click the action that is shadowed not the trigger.

 

[pedigree]

When I press okay,it came out "This Function cannot be enabled the variables "(something)" does not exist."

 

[Binsu]

When I press okay,it came out "This Function cannot be enabled the variables "(something)" does not exist."

You did not turned on "Create unknown variable" in Game Interface or... I think In Game Constant.. So you will have to turn it on and retry again by deleting the trigger and copy/pasting it again.
