How to make 2 loops activate at the same time

[colinjames12]

How do you make 2 loops(for each integer A) activate at the same time. They always don't work at the same time and I never knew how to fix it.

 

[darkzxx]

to fix this, you use variables for the integers, make two variable for each integer A you want to run :3

 

[Mr_Bean]

Do you mean you want a loop in a loop?
Then use integer A for the one and integer B for the other.

Just use 1 global variable to run looping function.

For example, these triggers work flawlessly;

• Loop 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer LoopingInteger) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Hello

• Loop 2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer LoopingInteger) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: World

The global variable is that Integer variable named LoopingInteger you see in those triggers.

 

[Mr_Bean]

Does this not cause the different loops to interfere though?
Do they not actually change the value of the global?

 

[defskull]

No.
Because in JASS script, you can see this clearly.
Each time before the loop function is done, the value of that global is set to 0.
Therefore, the data is reset each time it will be used.
Also, you have to remember that Warcraft III is single-threaded, therefore the data is safe and can never collide.

defskull, do I need to use different variables to all the loops that I'm going to make.

 

[darkzxx]

no :3

 

[defskull]

Name it "LoopingInteger", and you can share with thousands of triggers with only 1 Integer Variable (which is the LoopingInteger).

I needed to revive this thread because I found out that it still doesn't work. Anybody who could help me with this again? I think I did something wrong. Most of the loops that I use has waits in it. I think that's the problem.

 

[defskull]

1. What do you want to achieve.
2. Show us the trigger that you have created.
3. Waits don't work on loop.
4. Repeat #1.

 

[colinjames12]

ouch so that's why. I can't use waits on loops? What if I use different loop integers for all of my loops, will that work? Almost all of my loops have waits.

 

[colinjames12]

Should I use different loop integers to make loops with waits work? Cause almost all of my loops have waits.

 

[defskull]

You should make your trigger MUI, to support interval of action.
And yes, you HAVE to re-code your trigger back, all over again.

"Cause all of my loops have waits", yeah re-code it.

 

[colinjames12]

What about my question? Would it work with different loop integers?

 

[defskull]

Ah, it will work, for each loop, you have to create a new Integer variable.

I tested this and it works;

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer LoopingIntegerA) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Wait 1.00 seconds

• Melee Initialization Copy
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer LoopingIntegerB) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Peasant for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Wait 1.00 seconds

• Melee Initialization Copy Copy
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer LoopingIntegerC) from 1 to 15, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Knight for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Wait 1.00 seconds

Remember, each loop, you should use a new integer variable.

Variables:
LoopingIntegerA
LoopingIntegerB
LoopingIntegerC

 

[colinjames12]

Thank you!! That would be a lot of integers but that doesn't matter

 

[shadowvzs]

What about my question? Would it work with different loop integers?

y, u can do something like that

• blabla
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local integer i = udg_Last_Index + 1
    • Custom script: set udg_Last_Index = i
    • For each (Integer Integer[Last_Index]) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Wait 1.00 seconds
        • -------- do action --------
    • Custom script: set udg_Current_Index = i
    • Set Integer[Current_Index] = Integer[Last_Index]
    • Set Last_Index = (Last_Index - 1)

if u want only 1x then just use more integer variable like: a,b ,c,d, e.... how many u need
