Maybe I'm stupid, but why doesn't this work?

[Wing-Span]

The gist of it is this: a hero uses an ability and after three seconds they are given a rune. It doesn't matter which one. I've tried two methods, but they both fail about 10% of the time.

1: Simply issuing a rune after three game seconds.

2: I set the hero to a unit variable. = When I press the ability, a 3 second timer starts, which I also set to a variable. = I create a new trigger: when the timer (this one) expires, give the rune to (this one) the hero. AND IT DOESN'T WORK 10% OF THE TIME! What am I doing wrong?

(sorry, I don't know how to insert triggers here)

This should basically do what you want:

• Give Item after 3 sec
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Thunder Clap
  • Actions
    • Wait 3.00 seconds
    • Hero - Create Tome of Experience and give it to (Triggering unit)

I have the same code, only the waiting time is game-like, which eliminates errors due to the pause. And it only works in 90% of cases.

Can you post your trigger(s)? There's a link in my signature on how to do it.

function Trig_TRIGGER_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'Absk' ) ) then
return false
endif
return true
endfunction

function Trig_TRIGGER_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
call PolledWait( 3.00 )
call UnitAddItemByIdSwapped( 'rres', udg_MoonGlaive )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_TRIGGER takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_TRIGGER = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_TRIGGER, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_TRIGGER, Condition( function Trig_TRIGGER_Conditions ) )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_TRIGGER, function Trig_TRIGGER_Actions )
endfunction

MoonGlaive is a unit that is pre-entered into a variable.

I converted it to jass because my editor has a different language than English.

I'm far from a beginner, I can manipulate the damage engine system quite well, but at such a stupid moment something doesn't work right. Tried through the timer = the same thing.

Is it possible that the unit is polymorphed after these 3 seconds expire? Polymorphed units cant use items.

 

[Nichilus]

what unit is udg_MoonGlaive at the time the wait finishes?
One way to find out would be to write name of the unit inside udg_MoonGlaive as game message.
Also, what happens if you replace udg_MoonGlaive for GetTriggerUnit()?

No way, I don't use it.

I tried both options, and ended up adding the unit to the variable, but the result was the same. The unit inside the variable is set once when choosing a hero. And in general, as I already said, in 90% of cases the trigger works correctly, it's just that sometimes for some mysterious reason they fire blanks.I also have a trigger in the map that removes runes to avoid leaks, but this is unlikely because of this, since I set the issuance of 5 runes, but sometimes it also does not work.


In fact, in a single player game I didn't notice any problems, but in a 4 player game, yes, it happens.
In other words, this error only occurs during online play.

Disable the trigger that removes runes, I'm almost certain that's the problem.

interesting, this seems true
