Pause Action

wacik · May 22, 2013

I have created a system which incorporates Paladon's Jump system in it and allows you to jump from tree to tree. It works, but I have only one problem, I want the unit to be paused while jumping on trees and unpaused only when he gets down from the trees altogether.

For some reason this is not happening even though I pause the unit at the start and unpause it only after it comes down again. So here is my question. Are there other ways besides the Unpause Unit action how to unpause a paused unit?

Set its animation speed to 0% but you should show the trigger for further help.

use this to pause

Custom script: SetUnitPropWindow( udg_tempUnit, 0.00)

and this to unpause

Custom script: SetUnitPropWindow( udg_tempUnit, 360.00)

No no, you have misunderstood me. What I want to know is how my unit is getting unpaused without me using the Unpause Unit action. So I'm asking if there is a another way to unpause a unit, so I can find it in my triggers and correct it (its probably somewhere in Paladon's system, that's why I haven't found it). Sorry if my first post wasn't clear about this.

You can't unpause a unit without using the JASS function or the Unpause GUI Action.

deathismyfriend · May 22, 2013

there is not another action that i am aware of other than wat master trainer posted.

MasterTrainer · May 22, 2013

Oh and about that, won't using Pauses make Paladon's Jump system unstable?

neo_sluf · May 22, 2013

Yes you can Pause and Unpause unit..

Just remember..

Make it MUI!

Look at BnG spells all of them are GUI coded yet they don't cause error even they dont have cooldown..

I have encountered that problem also and i found out that making it MUI will solve the problem..

I suggest also to use Stop instead of Pause.. there are some warcraft buffs that go buggy after the unit is paused..

MasterTrainer · May 22, 2013

Of course!

The Stop Order! I can't believe I missed that.

Also if you're going to make it MUI and possibly for future references avoid using the Pause/Unpause actions.

Pausing and Unpausing causes bugs so I shouldnt recommend that, a better way is to
make the unit cannot flee, give ability 'Abun' so that it cant attack, set prop window
to 0 and turn speed to 0...

Different units can have different prop window values.

Interesting... how does one know the prop window value of a unit then?

PurgeandFire · May 22, 2013

@MasterTrainer:

JASS:

native          GetUnitPropWindow       takes unit whichUnit returns real

However, I am not sure whether prop windows make a difference unless they are set to 0.

Guys, the problem is that I am making a system where if someone orders a unit to move or cast an ability, it gets glitchy. So I want to eliminate that completely by pausing the unit. I'll upload the triggers later on today so you can see them, cause I can't right now.

when u post the triggers explain exactly what u want to happen so we can better help u.

The last two triggers are Paladon's Jump System. Of all these triggers only the following are turned on before the system is initiated by the player:
Jump Selection
Jump Order
Initial Jump
Tree Chooser Reseter
Jump System 1

The rest are all turned off.

Here is a video of the system:

What I want is for the unit to be paused while it is jumping on the trees and only unpause once he has jumped down.

deathismyfriend · May 22, 2013

some fixes.

change casting unit to triggering unit.
get rid of the do nothing actions. They are completely useless.
u should store the units starting height at the beginning of the trigger then after its done jumping set it back to its original height.
u need to redo half the system as the indexing / de-indexing is an outdated method and shouldnt be used anymore as it is very inefficient. my tutorial shows how to properly index/de-index http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tutorial-submission-283/things-gui-user-should-know-233242/ basically with the indexing method ur using u loop through all the unused indexes. With the method in my tutorial that will never happen
in ur jump down trigger u dont need the wait action.
get rid of integer A and integer B and make ur own integer and use that as they are more efficient

wacik · May 22, 2013

Thanks for the advice, however these fixes don't help me solve my most pressing problem. Have you found any clue as to why the unit is becoming unpaused?

Also, I am not touching the height of the unit in the triggers. The height is changed only becuase I made those large trees walkable. And the wait action in the Jump Down trigger is only used to give the unit enough time to run Paladon's system before reactivating the entire system again. This avoids a possible fatal bug which may occur if the user presses Escape twice in quick succession.

And about indexing, are you referring to the Tree Chooser trigger? Because the integers are being recycled at the start of the trigger so I don't think that empty indexes are being looped. Or do you mean that I didn't delete obsolete array indexes?

deathismyfriend · May 22, 2013

ooo when i saw jump system i thought of the units jumping lol.

put a messaage in here this may be firing unwantedly

If - Conditions
EligibleTreeCount Equal to 0
Then - Actions
Quest - Display to (All players) the Warning message: There are no large ...

Unit - Unpause TreeJumper

Else - Actions

wacik · May 22, 2013

There already is a message there, the quest message. And that part is a failsafe just in case someone activates the system with no trees nearby, so it shuts down the entire system (see the skip remaining actions). No the error is not coming from there, I checked.

deathismyfriend · May 22, 2013

are u skipping the cinematic event ? that is the only other trigger i see with unpause.
if its not that it has to be one of the camera options or something like that.

Also just noticed u have a lot of location leaks.
u should make this more efficient and see if it still happens. it could be bugging up somewere and mube ull spot it when updating the trigger.
ill still look for the reason y its unpausing

wacik · May 22, 2013

Yes, skipping the cinematic event, starts the system. So you activate it by pressing escape and then jump down by pressing escape when you're ready. You use only arrow keys to jump from tree to tree.

Edit: This is getting curiouser and curiouser. I applied a Unit is Paused condition at the end of every trigger to check whether the unit is still paused. A each time, the value returned was that the unit is indeed paused. But it isn't!! I can still cast abilities and move it. What the heck is going on? Has my world editor gone mad?!

deathismyfriend · May 23, 2013

it must be another action then. im not really sure.

The only other thing is make sure ur unit variable isnt null. it will say its paused but if the variable is null it wont pause anything

wacik · May 23, 2013

That was the first thing I checked when I encountered this problem. If the unit variable is null, the unit won't be able to jump to the next tree after its first jump, but it can. So that is not the problem either. I have a feeling that I'm missing something very simple, so obvious that its staring me in the eye, but I still can't see it. Lol

deathismyfriend · May 23, 2013

u can always start removing actions and see which one unpauses the unit.

wacik · May 23, 2013

I guess you're right, even though that is my least favourite method for two reasons:
1. I didn't make Paladon's system so I don't want to mess with it too much just in case I mess it up.
2. I made this system over a year ago and realized about this bug now. I don't remember how I did it, so I'll have to understand the entire code again and how it all ties together.

I'll +rep you for your trouble and thanks anyway.

If anyone out there finds a solution please tell me.

deathismyfriend · May 23, 2013

paladons system ?
if thats the jump system there are better ones i believe.
if ur going to mess with the system. u should either fix it to the suggestions i made above or scrap it and start it from scratch.

MasterTrainer · May 23, 2013

You could also ask Palladon himself to help you.

wacik · May 25, 2013

I've found the problem guys, or at least I think I did. Apparently you cannot pause units which are on walkable destructables. I confirmed this by making my unit jump onto a tree and then using a chat command to pause the unit. No matter how much I typed the message, the unit would not become paused, however the command worked when he was on the ground again.

This is probably some sort of world editor bug and now I have to find a way around it.

MasterTrainer · May 25, 2013

I think you should use a .03 periodic trigger instead to pause the unit, might change the result because it's faster.

wacik · May 25, 2013

No, I just confirmed that pause doesn't work cause I tried it when the unit was on a tree doing nothing. So instead I am deselecting the unit and making it unselectable. Besides, too many periodic triggers acting simultaneously cause lag.
