[Trigger] Problem with Floatingtexts, Loops, Timers and opening a Door.

[xRockx]

Hello there,

I am trying to make this map where you open the door by typing in a text.(basically the purple text is what u have to input and the red and green lines are a time indicator)

I tried to make sure i stay below the 100 Floating text. The purple text is 1 floating text each and every single red and green bar are their very own floating texts, which should make for 50 floating texts @ 10 players.
Once the time is up (all green lines turn to red) a new purple floating text is created, all Lines are destroyed and new green ones are created. The Integer that is saved in the hashtable is the number of a random player(Will gladly post that trigger aswell if you need it just keeping it out atm to not cause extra confusion).

The problem is even tho it works for most players theres always some player where the floating text isnt displayed properly (missing purple text or just 2 redlines and other magical stuff). Also apparently each Big cycle there is a chance for the problem to get worse. At this point i am Not 90% sure that this trigger is the sole origin of my problems. If you want the whole map I will gladly upload it aswell.

Any help is much appreciated.

Need more triggers?

 

[xRockx]

Suggestions, Anyone?

 

[Wark]

So, it's basically a typing minigame to open a gate in a set amount of time.
Is it only 1 message to type per door? Could any player at any given time type the message?

 

[xRockx]

You have to type multiple messages to open a door. Always the one that is currently displayed. And each player has their own door that requires its own message to open the door. What further comlicates it is that the doors assigned to players change with each "round" of this minigame

 

[Tasyen]

Do yourself, us, cpu and mapsize a favour and create a variable named "PlayerIndex" or "TimerIndex", write onto it with that "Load Integer expired timer..." then everywhere you used that LoadInteger... use that PlayerIndex / TimerIndex instead.
That makes your trigger alot more compact, easy to understand and read.

 

[xRockx]

I will do that however read lots of stuff regarding issues wen using a variable when using hashtable.
