hey got a little problem with a simple trigger here, this is not finished at all but it bugs allready -.-

the trigger is supposed to show name above the unit and change the colour depending on lvl. But somehow when I lvl up the text become red not green idk why :/

trigger

• Show names
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Current camera bounds)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set u = (Picked unit)
        • Set level = (Level of hero)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Level of (Picked unit)) Less than or equal to (level - 5)
          • Then - Actions
            • Set name = (|CFF20C000 + ((Name of u) + |R))
          • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Level of (Picked unit)) Less than or equal to (level + 5)
          • Then - Actions
            • Set name = ( |CFFFF0303 + ((Name of u) + |R))
          • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Level of (Picked unit)) Greater than or equal to (level - 2)
            • (Level of (Picked unit)) Less than or equal to (level + 2)
          • Then - Actions
            • Set name = ( |CFFFFFF01 + ((Name of u) + |R))
          • Else - Actions
        • Set loc = (Position of u)
        • Set loc2 = (loc offset by 100.00 towards 135.00 degrees)
        • Set text = (Load 1 of (Key (Picked unit)) in index_tableIf the label is not found, this function returns NULL.)
        • Floating Text - Destroy text
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads name at loc2 with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        • Set text = (Last created floating text)
        • Hashtable - Save Handle Oftext as 1 of (Key (Picked unit)) in index_table

You could make it loop every 0.05 seconds. Actually couldn't you just run it when your hero levels up?
And fix the leaks: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/
Instead of destroing the ft, you could just change the text.

 

[ap0calypse]

Shouldn't the condition be "Greater than or equal to (level + 5)"?
(You probably already know this, but that trigger leaks a ton and will definitely slow down the game).

 

[Chaosy]

yup I know it leaks but I don't like to have the removers ther before the trigger is working.
anyway you were right that was a stupid mistake. tho now I got another problem the names is displaying wrong when I lvl up the names allways change like peasant becomes knight

 

[ap0calypse]

yup I know it leaks but I don't like to have the removers ther before the trigger is working.

And I assume I can't convince you to clean leaks as soon as they're created?

Anyway, I just created this system myself (to search for any logical flaws), but it's working fine for me.
As Maker suggested, I decreased the periodic timer (0.05 wasn't smooth enough, so I suggest something between 0.02 and 0.03). I also pick units within range (not camera bounds) and set the hero level in a different trigger (on level-up).

So I have no idea why your trigger isn't working. You use the name of the picked unit so that should be correct, but apparently it isn't.

My trigger - uses Bribe's Unit Indexer

since I dont like indexers I try to stick with hashtables if I can.
anyway I did actually fix the things before but that made the error since it worked before.
