Making a jass trigger use multiple events---How the heck???

[vicky2004]

Hi and thanks to all who read this topic.I have some simple questions about JASS triggering.First is how you make the triggers use multiple events;second,how you make a trigger stop when a spell stops;can you explain me how to use handle,local variables and custome values???I thank to all who are reading the topic and posting some answers.

function Trig__Actions takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger end=CreateTrigger()
local unit u=GetTriggerUnit()
// this are local vars, only 'inside' the trigger but like globals (aka gamecage), the disadvatage of them is, u cant refer to them between triggers

call TriggerRegisterUnitEvent(end,u,EVENT_UNIT_SPELL_ENDCAST)

loop
exitwhen GetTriggerEvalCount(end)>0
// Actions during the loop
call Triggersleepaction(0)
endloop

// Actions after the loop

call DestroyTrigger(end)
set end=null
set u=null
endfunction

this is a jasstrigger that stop actions (in the loop) with the end of the channeling

so you mean using this the triger has 2 events and stops when the spell stops.So where i must put that?
By the way why don't you just make it GetSpellUnit()
from TriggerUnit?

Unless you're really good in JASS, make as much as the trigger as you can in GUI and convert it.

this trigger is started when a unit casts the channeling and ends when it stops. it doenst have 2 events in one, it has a trigger-in-a-trigger, with has the 2nd evend 'ENDCAST'. this is the normal way to do channel-trigger in jass ( i think) i have a local var for the trigger unit, because normaly i need it more than 1 time and however sometimes it leaked the trigger unit after a wait.

well i awais convert the spell from trigger to jass and then i replace the global vars with local.I understand that's trigger in trigger but how and where i must put the script you gave me?And i don't understand how you make jass triggers!You type them in the trigger editor in the converted trigger or you import it like .j?I search the whole sites for jass tuts but i haven't found any good ones.Only the basic jass tut!

maybe you are idiot then this is your version:
a trigger that turns another on
the other trigger with a periodic event, every # sec
a trigger that turn the other off when a unit stops casting

my script replaces all three that means actions of your trigger with.... unit casts sth. the periodic actions belong to the loop, the wait is the cicle duration, effects etc. after casting / after turning out -> befor / after the loop.

problem

there is one more question that bothers me.I maked three spells.The first activates the other 2 ones.And they have periodic time event.I tryed to add them to the first trigger by jass,but it seems that i must make multiple locals of the 2 triggers because i want them to stop when an integer comes 32.If you want i'll send the spell to you and you maybe can make it.It's done now but it's still with 3 non-jass triggers.Plz tell me ur e-mail and i'll send it to you,then send the spells when you make it with 1 trigger to [email protected] you do it,you're my hero!!
