local var is behaving like global...

[SlayerII]

i have a prob with my texttags: at first, they behaving normally. Everytime a unit is damaged by this trigger, there is created a new texttag. But after soem time, suddenly instead of creating a new textag, a old one is changed.

This actually means, that a existing one is removed, and a new one, with the life span and visibly , is created.
So... just like i used a global instead of a local

function PhysicalDamage takes unit attacker, unit target , real dmg,boolean crit returns nothing

    local real armor    =   LoadReal(udg_HashTable, GetHandleId(target), StringHash("armor"))
    local real armor2   =   armor*0.7
    local texttag text  =   CreateTextTag()
    local texttag text2 =   CreateTextTag()
    
    //armor
    if armor>dmg then
        set dmg=dmg*0.3
    else
        set dmg=dmg-armor2
    endif
    
    //dmg
    call UnitDamageTarget(attacker,target,dmg,true,false,ATTACK_TYPE_MELEE, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL,WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS)
    

    //text
    if crit==true then
        call SetTextTagText(text, I2S(R2I(dmg))+"!", 12* 0.023 / 10)
        call SetTextTagColor(text, 255, 0, 0, 0)
    else
        call SetTextTagText(text, I2S(R2I(dmg)), 8* 0.023 / 10)
        call SetTextTagColor(text, 255, 255, 255, 0)
    endif
    call SetTextTagPos(text, GetUnitX(target)+GetRandomReal(-25,25), GetUnitY(target)+GetRandomReal(-25,25), 50)
    call SetTextTagPermanent(text, false)
    call SetTextTagVelocity(text, 0, 0.04)
    call SetTextTagVisibility(text, true)
    call SetTextTagLifespan(text, 3)
    call SetTextTagFadepoint(text, 0.01)
    set text=null
endfucntion

I think there's a limit to how many text tags there can be at a time (Like 100?) before they get recycled.
You should remove text2 if you don't plan to use it since it might make it easier to reach that limit.

By the way, endfucntion?

i need text 2 for something different =/ I just delede everything trigger which may cause Problem and tested it again, i just forget to delete the var.

any way to extend the limit? or how im able to kill textags? I thought the lifespann kill it =/

no endfunction? well a c&p mistake =) its there, i just forget to copy it...

 

[watermelon_1234]

I think you are destroying them correctly; it just might be that they're being displayed too long and a lot of text tags are being created at once.

 

[SlayerII]

the bug also happen, when only 1 unit is fighting =/
but i may count how many are shown correctly ...

 

[SlayerII]

ok-it need exactly 100 hits

i found other function which was always creating atexttag too. But it only set a lifespan, when the attack failed.
So i thought it may be the bug

i created 20 textags in the function instead of 1 and, what a surprise, now i only need 6 attacks to create the bug.

changed the fucntion to only create the texttag, when its also destroying it. Hopefully it works now =/

edit: WORKS! WORKS!
now after this stupid bug is gone, i am able to continue =)

Yes, texttags have a limit of 100. If you create a text tag locally for 1 player, the counter won't be increased for the other players. This means that you can actually have a maximum of 100 shown for each player, but more than 100 in general.

 

[SlayerII]

ye, but nobody told me that nonshown texttags also count =/

The typical handle (widgets, timers, rects) allocate a special handle ID that is unique to that handle.

Text-tags implement a different (perhaps better, except for the limit) method of creating IDs using an integer from either 1 to 100 or 0 to 99 (I forget which).

Yep, they start off at 99 and go down to 0. I believe ubersplats share the same quality, and maybe one more handle (weather, or something) I'm forgetting.
