[Trigger] loop actions

[Numeror]

God i hate myself for asking this...How can i make something reapeat itself (loop). I know this question is noob but from all this this question is the only one i do not know.

 

[Micke]

I'm sorry but I don't know how to make those pretty boxes that look like the trigger editor.
May this be what you seek?


For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions

 

[GhostWolf]

Micke, put [trig.ger]your trigger here[/trig.ger] without the dots.

This is the trigger i want to repeat.

• loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions

    • Unit - Order SU4[4] to Move to PointE

is this what you want?

 

[Eleandor]

oh...

You want a unit to walk from north to east to south to west to north?

• Events
  • Unit - a unit enters PointN
• Conditions
  • Or - any conditions are true
    • Unit - triggering unit is SU1[1]
    • Unit - triggering unit is SU2[2]
    • Unit - triggering unit is SU3[3]
    • Unit - triggering unit is SU4[4]
• Actions
  • Unit - order entering unit to move to PointE

Make a similar trigger for PointE, PointS and PointW, so they run in circles.

A sidenote: Why are you using arrays?

 

[GhostWolf]

Side note: why are you using this at all ?

If you want units to simply patrol beetwin 4 points, make regions and when a unit enters a region order to go to the next etc. etc.

 

[Numeror]

lol making regions are only at one place. they must run around the casting unit, and that can be anywhere. Yes Eleandor i want that but only the other direction . I thought let's make a loop but it seems there is no such possibility. this would mean real long triggers, but i know what you mean Eleandor ur my godess!

 

[GhostWolf]

Actauly its short...

• Unknown
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set point[0] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set point[(Integer A)] = (point[0] offset by 200.00 towards (90.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Region centered at point[((Integer A) - 1)] with size (50.00, 50.00)) contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move To point[(Integer A)]
          • Else - Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point[GetForLoopIndexA()])

You should of course set all the unit values here to your own values.

 

[Numeror]

But there is only a event for regions not for points or am i wrong?

 

[Eleandor]

Ghostwolf just made 1 trigger for the "circulation" thing (although it probably looks more like a square...)

 

[GhostWolf]

Yes its a square, after all 4 points can't be a circle lol.

Need atleast 5 points for a circle (and it will be very crude).

GetForLoopIndexA()

?
You should use bj_forLoopAIndex
Also, you can't use Triggering Unit where the event does not involve any unit.

Yes its a square, after all 4 points can't be a circle lol.

Need at least 5 points for a circle (and it will be very crude).

Actually, you need at least 0 vertices for a circle because circles don't have a single vertex.

 

[GhostWolf]

Look at my last sentence ... its all bright in red so you will look at it lol.

And also I wonderd about that code.
I made something in GUI, transferd to JASS and thats what it gave me.
Now I knew the code is something with bj_xxxx but it still works !
Didn't give me any error

 

[Numeror]

I did the idea from Eleandor but points did not work out. so instead id did it like this with regions. I made 4 regions at a random area then i do this:

• Region
• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
• Region - Center Rect[1] to PointW
• Region - Center Rect[2] to PointS
• Region - Center Rect[3] to PointE
• Region - Center Rect[4] to PointN

Could this be it?

 

[GhostWolf]

Did you even try using my loop ? >.<
