I got my all triggers blocked and error

[newbiesoldier]

Hi everyone, I was creating a custom MOBA game like DOTA. But I got my whole triggers blocked, and when I run the game, it gives an error with no text, and the only button I see is "OK." Well, it turns out there are so many errors in my triggers.

It happened when I copied a single trigger, which was a "START GAME HORN SOUND" from DoTA Template v2.0 AI,

which ruined my map with lots of errors. By the way, I am using Warcraft 3 v 1.29.2 World Editor; there is no JASS.

Did the timer global variable exist before you copied the trigger?

It looks like the editor tried to create the variable for you and created a string instead.

The reason why you're still getting errors with triggers turned off is because the variables are still being initialized, even if the triggers are off.

But that first line of your debug prompt is saying the have a variable type called "VarAsString_Real". Honestly, I don't know how that happens, but I would open that variable in the variable managing window and set it to be a timer.


To import that trigger and maybe not nuke the rest of your triggers, I would reload an older version, or undo, then create the variable for the trigger, then copy over the trigger after the variable exists already.

Well, it was too late to undo it. I had a backup; however, it was also infected by this error, and I don't know how to fix that. Should I turn off auto variable creator? Anyways ,How can I fix it?

I'm not super experienced with GUI, stuff like this exact issue is what made me switch to JASS, but I would think you can leave the auto variable creator on.

I'm struggling to see the root cause here, only seeing the error debug clear has a non-native variable type "VarAsString_real"..

Sadly, I think there is no way to undo this now other than grinding through the triggers and making them valid again..

I was able to reactivate several triggers just by enabling JassHelper in the trigger editor, you might want to give it a try if that's not already enabled
