[JASS] Not initiating...

[Blue_Jeans]

This is declared in my map header:

globals
    integer array udg_ResearchId
    integer array udg_CreepId
    integer array udg_Interval
    real array udg_SpawnX
    real array udg_SpawnY 
    integer udg_CurrentInterval = 0
    force udg_Alliance
    force udg_Horde
    region array udg_Region 
endglobals
function Forces takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer c = 0
    set udg_Alliance = CreateForce()
    set udg_Horde = CreateForce()
    loop
        exitwhen c > 4
        if ( GetPlayerSlotState(Player(c)) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING ) then
            call ForceAddPlayer( udg_Alliance, Player(c) )
        endif
        if ( GetPlayerSlotState(Player(c + 5)) == PLAYER_SLOT_STATE_PLAYING ) then
            call ForceAddPlayer( udg_Horde, Player(c + 5) )
        endif
        set c = c + 1
    endloop
endfunction

Then I call it with a trigger(with other things as well):

• Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call Forces()
    • Custom script: call CreepSpawnPreload()
    • Custom script: call Regions()

But when I start the map, anything that uses udg_Alliance or udg_Horde does not work, and it gives me errors saying that they weren't initialized. I used to not use GUI to init, but I decided anything that can be GUI should be GUI. It's so others can easily read and alter the map with no JASS knowledge. It worked before I recreated it in GUI, but not anymore. I didn't keep the old trigger because this is something so basic, but I'm having problems.

What am I doing wrong?
Note: The Regions() never worked, so I can't tell if it is init, but I know that CreepSpawnPreload() is working.

Just a wild guess but maybe the PLAYER_SLOT_STATES_ are initiated somehow after your trigger runs. Use an event like Elapsed game time is equal to 0.01 or something to check if that is the case.

Are you using NewGen editor? If not then you can't just put globals anywhere - they must be on the top of war3map.j file, a part which you can't edit with the normal editor.
NewGen editor contains JassHelper, a preprocessor that locates and moves all globals blocks to the top. Without it your code will always result in errors.

Of course I have the NewGen editor. Everything works out fine in the editor, it's when I run the game I get the errors.

It worked before I switched it to GUI, but I don't think I did anything else. It's supposed to be a simple function, so I didn't keep a backup.

It probably isn't working because the globals variables have an initial value of nothing. I didn't see you set udg_Horde and udg_Alliance to CreateForce() anywhere. Before you can add players to a force, you need to first ensure the force has been created.

He does it right at the start of the Forces() function
