How to reset a trigger?

How do you reset a trigger?

Ehh... Been trying, but I can't find out how.

 

[Bribe]

You can't remove events from a trigger without destroying it, I imagine that's what you're referring to?

 

[Noobsmoke]

call ResetTrigger(gg_trg_"TRIGGER NAME")

 

[Bribe]

That only clears the execution/evaluation count of the trigger, I don't even think it
removes its conditions and actions.

 

[Creed Angelus]

No, I just need to remove events added via another trigger. Does it work for that? Aannnd... yes. Yes, that's what I'm referring to.

 

[Bribe]

Yeah, you'd have to destroy the trigger, remake it adding its conditions and actions back.

That's the only way to remove events from a trigger. You have to destroy the whole thing.

What events are you looking to remove? I bet there's an easier way to do what you're
doing.

Damage detection... A trigger at map initialization selects all units in existence, then everytime a new unit enters the map, the trigger also adds these units as possible events for having their damage detected.

How do you destroy the trigger?

 

[Bannar]

You destroy trigger via:

call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())

^It will actually destroy triggering trigger (in GUI it's "This trigger"). In DestroyTrigger() function bracket's insert name of given trigger you want ot destroy if it's not the trigger currently executing code.

For damage detection, just use this:

• Damage Detect
  • Events
    • DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00 //This is under Game - Value of Real Variable
  • Conditions
  • Actions

Then copy and paste the Unit Indexer trigger and the Damage Event trigger from this map:

Alright... testing it out in a while...

And it works! Thanks...

Can I follow up the question?

If I cause a unit under a specific buff to receive an additional 5 damage every time they receive damage, naturally, that would also run the trigger. The game would crash... Any way around this?

 

[Bribe]

Yes:

• Damage Detect
  • Events
    • Game - DamageEvent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
    • DamageRecursionBoolean Equal to false
    • -------- Your other conditions too, of course --------
  • Actions
    • Set DamageRecursionBoolean = true
    • Unit - Cause MyUnit to damage...
    • Set DamageRecursionBoolean = false
