Integer Variable can't be converted for use with "Time - Periodic Event"

[Citatus Nim Totren]

I have an integer variable which I am trying to turn into the time for the "Time - Periodic Event". From Time - Periodic Event > Real (the time thing) > Conversion - Integer to Real > Integer, it says "No generated variables of this type exist". Help please!

Use a timer instead.

Its much easier to set and easier to detect when it expires.

I've tried that, but I still can't get the integer to convert into a real that works. I've tried using a real variable, but that doesn't seem to work =/

can you post the trigger??? I'm kinda confused with what you did...

 

[Kino]

You cant use variables in most events.

What I meant was that you set the timer's duration as a variable in some other trigger.

 

[Adiktuz]

Use the event: Timer - Timer expires

then run the timer on another trigger so that you can surely use variables to set the time...

Ok, I've tried all those. It seems like it's only possible through JASS now. I hoped it wouldn't come to this...

 

[Adiktuz]

you've tried them? would you mind posting the triggers that you used? or better, the map itself?

coz I was able to do this:

• Event
  • Time - MyTimer Expires
• Actions
  • Your actions here

• Events
  • Whatever
• Actions
  • Countdown Timer - Start MyTimer as a one-shot timer which expires after MyRealVariable seconds
  • or
  • Countdown Timer - Start MyTimer as a one-shot timer which expires after Real(MyIntegerVariable) seconds

...OK... this is awkward...
My problem just "decided" to fix it self. I have no idea why it wasn't working before. =/
Thanks guys! +rep
