Income if unit is alive

[onix_noob]

This Thread don't have Prefix becouse i understood little JASS and i know GUI.
I was about to make a trigger that give to a player x amount of gold if his hero is alive every 30 seconds (when the hero is revived count 30 second and give gold until the hero die). I am about to do it in GUI but it appear there is no stop option for a timers i am wondering if i start the same timer again the time will be again 30 seconds and everything OK. Next problem is that in events i can't loop so i need 12 separete triggers for every player which i don't like, i am sure all this could be done in JASS with no more than 10-15 lines +rep for the first good trigger that i approve

Try this trigger:

• Income
  • Events
    • Time - Every X seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to <Your Unit>
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Add X to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold
            • Player - Add X to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current lumber
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

this won't work becouse if the hero is revived when 10 seconds left the player will get the income. The timer must start at the moment when the hero is revived

Well, you need to make an initialization temp player group, where:

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Time - Elapsed time is 0.00 seconds (or, if you create the heroes through another trigger, don't add this event, but have an action at that trigger "Trigger - Run Trigger1 <gen> (ignoring conditions)")
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set T_G = (Players matching ((Matching Player) slot Equal to Is playing) and (Matching Player controller) Equal to User)
  • Player Group - Pick up every player in (T_G) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set Alive[Player Number of (Picked Player)]= True

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Player Group - Pick up every player in (T_G) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set UnitGroup = (Units owned by (Picked Player) matching (((Matching unit) is a Hero) Equal to True))
      • Unit Group - Pick up every unit in (UnitGroup) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (Conditions)
            • ((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True
            • Active[Player Number of (Picked Player)] Equal to True
          • Then (Actions)
            • Player - Add 300 to (Picked Player)'s current gold
          • Else (Actions)
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)

• Trigger3
• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Alive[Player Number of (Owner of (Dying unit))] = False

**"Alive" is a boolean variable, with array.

Both triggers will work but both have the same problem, if the hero is revived when at every 30 seconds left 15 seconds to 0 the players hero have to be alive only 15 seconds to get the gold not 30. The trigger itself have to be with periodic timers not every x seconds.



And there is a question about the timers if some one can help me: is there a command to STOP a periodic timer (after this i have to be able to start it again) becouse in GUI i can see only option "Pause" not "Stop"
