Order of GUI Triggers

[Mirage_tempest]

Hi,
I am not sure if this was already been asked but I am really in need to know this.

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set x = 0

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Hero1 takes damage
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set x = x + 1

• Trigger3
• Events
  • Hero1 takes damage
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set x = x + 1
  • Custom Script: call BJDebugMsg(I2S(udg_x))

Now, the question is...
What will be shown in the BJDebugMsg? Is it 1? (x=0+1) or is it 2? (x=(0+1)+1)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

The triggers are registered to an event.
The one being registered the first will be executed first (I think).
The triggers register themselves to an event on map loading.
The order of which trigger is registered first depends on the order in which they are made.

If I make a trigger and do my stuff and then I make another trigger, the first trigger is registered first.
So it doesn't matter where they are positioned in the triggers list.

At least that is how it should work.
I am not quite sure but it happens sometimes that they switch order.
I never trust those things any more and even stopped using normal events, but I think it has something to do when the editor is restarted.

If it is really important that the triggers are executed in a specific order, then use an event system.

Thanks for the info
But what do you mean by an event system? Is it something I must do on my own?

Well... I don't know (because I am lazy as shit) if there are any event systems in here but I created my own where I can run triggers on customized events and can give them a "priority".
The priority is a simple integer. Triggers with a low priority will be ran first and triggers with a high priority will be ran last... yea I think that I am kinda using MS logics right now.

 

[Mirage_tempest]

How do you do the "priority" you are speaking about? Teach me master
Anyways, I only need a single or two triggers to be run last. If only there is an easy and fast way...(because I am also lazy as shit)

Well it is not so easy to use in GUI.
If you want a few things to be ran last, then you can create a timer that expires in 0 seconds and do the action when it expires.
That way, you are doing the thing after the event.

 

[Mirage_tempest]

Hm... That is the best way if I only have 2 triggers (the one with higher priority and the one with lower). Because if I am going to do that, that means I have to put the timer function to all of my triggers in order for the trigger I want to be last to be run last. (not to mention it will run many times/instances). I agree that it will be hard for GUI, but I am accepting JASS/vJASS suggestions or ideas

Well... in that case:

(You can look around and use it if you want but the real cool functionalities still have to be implemented.)

if it works for you it is fine, but this is really really bad especially for damage events, because after 0. seconds timer, the damage could've been dealt(the game may try to run 1 logical cycle before going back to the script), so you may be too late to the party by then.

But as I said, if it works for you, its fine enough
