Is that trigger leak-checked???

No it is not. Create a point variable and store this into (Position of (Triggering unit)) and change in this action

• Set UnitLPulseGroup = (Units within (430.00 + (20.00 x (Real(LevelOfLpulse)))) of UnitPulsePoint matching (((Picked unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to False))

instead of

• Set UnitLPulseGroup = (Units within (430.00 + (20.00 x (Real(LevelOfLpulse)))) of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Picked unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to False))

When i cast my spell 2 times - on the 3-rd time - my game crashes again... i think that i have more leaks, but where?

 

[tjordell]

I dont get why you're executing a unit group twice? If that's needed you should do this:

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 2, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitLPulseGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Dummy4LPulseArraySlow = (Dummy4LPulseArraySlow + 1)
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at LPPositionOfTriggUnit facing Default building facing degrees
        • Set Dummy4LPulseSlow[Dummy4LPulseArraySlow] = (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Add slow 4 LP dummy to Dummy4LPulseSlow[Dummy4LPulseArraySlow]
        • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to Dummy4LPulseSlow[Dummy4LPulseArraySlow]
        • Unit - Set level of slow 4 LP dummy for Dummy4LPulseSlow[Dummy4LPulseArraySlow] to LevelOfLpulse
        • Unit - Order Dummy4LPulseSlow[Dummy4LPulseArraySlow] to Human Sorceress - Slow (Picked unit)
        • Set Dummy4LPulseArraySlow = (Dummy4LPulseArraySlow - 1)
        • Custom script: call RemoveUnit( udg_Dummy4LPulseSlow[udg_Dummy4LPulseArraySlow] )

 

[CoLd Bon3]

I do that because the first time i cast Chain Lightning and the second - Slow, i can't mix them, because i am forced to use waits, which i don't want... but where are the leaks anyway?!

 

[ap0calypse]

There are no more leaks, do you even know what leaks do? They certainly don't crash games that easily.
What do you know about leaks? Because you're also removing the dummy unit, and with a custom script... There's a GUI-action called "remove unit", but you rather use custom scripts? That's stupid.
Also, do not remove the dummy unit. The generic timer should be more than enough.

Why is " Dummy4LPulseLightning" arrayed? Do you know how the unit group action works? Because there's absolutely no need for "Dummy4LPulseArrayLightning", and you can make the unit variable a regular one (instead of arrayed).

It goes like this:

Unit group actions
- set integer = integer + 1
- set unit[integer] = last created unit
- set integer = integer - 1

- set integer = integer + 1
- set unit[integer] = last created unit
- set integer = integer - 1


Repeat this for all units in the group.
As you can see, you only ever use the 1st array (as "integer" will always be 1). The array is rendered useless.

        • Unit - Add Lightning Pulse 4 dummy to tempDummy
        • Unit - Set level of Lightning Pulse 4 dummy for tempDummy to tempIntLevel

        • Unit - Order tempDummy to Human Sorceress - Slow (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_tempGroup)

Variables:

• tempLoc (point)
• tempGroup (unit group)
• tempIntLevel (integer)
• tempDummy (unit)

This is an improved trigger, if it still crashes: it's got to do with something else.

 

[CoLd Bon3]

I did exactly what you said, ap0calypse, my trigger is the same, but i still crash when i cast the ability 5 times in a row... map is below! Please help me!

 

[tjordell]

I've solved the problem. The changes I've made was to remove the spaces in the Custom Scripts when you removed a leak.
Before:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation ( udg_LPPositionOfTriggUnit )
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup ( udg_UnitLPulseGroup )

After:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_LPPositionOfTriggUnit)
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitLPulseGroup)

Do this for the rest of you'r spells. I've attached the spell here.

[CoLd Bon3]

Lulz!!! Thanks!

 

[tjordell]

No problem =)

 

[ap0calypse]

I'll be frank: JASS doesn't care about spacing, tjordell.
That cannot be, and thus is not the solution.

And if it was the solution, then explain why GUI always adds those spaces, and why it never crashes.
Here are a few GUI scripts:

set gg_trg_The_trigg_LS = CreateTrigger(  )
// [...]
if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A00C' ) ) then
// [...]
call DestroyEffectBJ( GetLastCreatedEffectBJ() )

Can't you see? Those are all spaces! But they cannot be removed in GUI, that's because removing them doesn't matter. It won't solve anything.

This:

call RemoveLocation      (                 udg_tempLoc                        )

Works just as good as:

call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc)

Believe me, I know


There is something else different about your trigger and CoLd_Bon's trigger.

• Set UnitLPulseGroup = (Units within (430.00 + (20.00 x (Real(LevelOfLpulse)))) of LPPositionOfTriggUnit matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to False))

• Set UnitLPulseGroup = (Units within (430.00 + (20.00 x (Real(LevelOfLpulse)))) of LPPositionOfTriggUnit matching (((Picked unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to False))

See?
The one with "Picked unit" is wrong, and will create a lot more lag (because it picks ALL units in range, not only the enemy units).
THAT was the cause of the crash, not the spacing. You shouldn't be so quick to proclaim your judgement.


Just straightening your story, some people might actually believe it (while it's complete rubbish).

Moral of the story: everyone can just use spacing when using Custom scripts, it doesn't matter. I prefer no spacing because it's faster to type, that's all.

 

[tjordell]

Oh, I changed that, but I must have forgotten that I did and thought that the remove leak was the problem. Sorry for that.

 

[CoLd Bon3]

I used it with Matching Unit... but i think that it crashes because i spam the spell I set it to 0 cooldown and the spam it... when i cast it with 1-2 seconds cooldown - everything is OK! - that's what my dumbness do! :X

 

[tjordell]

That should not be it. If you have done MUI and the code is fairly well, you should be able to cast the spell as many times as you want without any crash (Unless the spell has lots of SFX but you'rs doesn't). I experienced some lags when using you'r spells. Try to look through all the spells one more time and see that everything is like it should be.

 

[CoLd Bon3]

Yes! Yes! I am now kinda pre-looking the spells, now i'm storeing some things that leak in variables, and then i destroy them, so that i eliminate lag.

 

[tjordell]

Sounds great! Keep it up! =)
