[Trigger] Problem

[Gallin]

Well ive recently put this trigger into a map

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Time Stop
  • Actions
    • Set point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of point) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Pause (Picked unit)
        • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed
        • Wait 20.00 seconds
        • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
        • Unit - Unpause (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)

and now when i try and test it it simply just open up wc3 to the begainging screen and when i go into custom games to host / play it it says can not locate map

maybe you saved it wrong? I dont see how a trigger could make a map not able to be located. But idk

 

[Gallin]

i resaved it like 2 times and then redid it in a new map

 

[Kwah]

It's not the trigger.

Seriously.

check if you saved it in the right folder (warcraft III\maps\download)

• Set point = (Target point of ability being cast)

haha the 'p' is lower case here

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)

but uppercase here. rewrite it as udg_point and i think it will work

 

[Just_Spectating]

it wouldnt cause his map not to open though. it should of disabled his trigger in the first place when trying to save.

one other thing i just noticed; you can't use waits inside loops (like pick every unit in unit group). i don't think this should keep your map from being opened, but blizzard warns against this: "Wait actions should not be used within." so instead, you should do

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Time Stop
  • Actions
    • Set point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set group = (Units within 512.00 of point)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Pause (Picked unit)
        • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed
    • Wait 20.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Animation - Change (Picked unit)'s animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
        • Unit - Unpause (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_group)

that trigger leaks, i think..

you'd have to remove the group, then set it again after the wait.

 

[maskedpoptart]

i'm not a plumber, so i'm not a master at plugging leaks. but i made it like this so the same units will be affected in both loops. the way you suggested would allow more units to come in range within that 20 seconds, which would screw things up if you wanted to add in an action besides "unpause" or "set animation speed to 100%"

Edit: it'd be best to use a local variable for the group, but he's using GUI so... idk

 

[MYHummeR]

Change the event to
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

No, it doesn't leak. The unit group is assigned to a variable, and he's just running group loops.

 

[Gallin]

on another note do u happen to know where the pause icon is?
also it still doesnt let me open it i even put that trigger into a new map

(udg_Point

point has to be written with a small p

w8 in loops isnt good ^^ change that by using a damn timer and when it expires run another trigger that picks every unit in that group and unpauses

hope it helped
