Question about MUI by locals.....

[sephiroth1234]

Is this trigger with locals and multiple waits are still MUI?

• My Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit u
    • Set Dying_Unit = (Dying unit)
    • Custom script: set u = udg_Dying_Unit
    • Set Dying_Unit = No unit
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Custom script: set udg_Dying_Unit = u
    • Custom script: set u = null
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text ((Name of (Dying_Unit))+ has died.)
    • Custom script: set u = udg_Dying_Unit
    • Set Dying_Unit = No unit
    • Wait 3.00 seconds
    • Custom script: set udg_Dying_Unit = u
    • Custom script: set u = null
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text ((Name of (Dying_Unit))+ is dead of the past 8 seconds.)
    • Set Dying_Unit = No unit

What you're doing there is changing the variable of dying unit to local and global back and forth. It's definitely not MUI or efficient and I don't even know if it works. What are you trying to achieve with this trigger? Maybe if you told us, we could help you.

 

[sephiroth1234]

The game-text actions are just for testing purposes. I don't want to use hash tables for performance conservation.

 

[Kercyn]

I'm not talking about hashtables, I'm talking about variable management. Why do you even use Dying_unit, when you can save your triggering unit directly to u? Plus, you must not nullify variables until the end of the trigger, or you might cause problems.

Do it like this, if you want to use the GUI text display.

i dont get it..
he uses u and dying_unit variables,
but in text its

• ((Name of (Dying_Unit))?

@dardas
Notice the "_", it's that global variable, not event response

@topic
For this certain purpose (Casting unit, Dying unit [not Killing unit], Attacked unit [not Attacking unit], etc), just use Triggering Unit, it's always MUI, no matter what kinds of actions you use in your trigger (mostly)
Tho if you're asking whether it's possible to create MUI triggers (with waits) only using locals, the answer is no, you need a hashtable (or other method to store handle id, tho hashtables are most efficient afaik) or indexing system to do that.

 

[MortAr]

Hashtables stores more information than indexes.
On the other hand, indexes are faster than hashtables, so it's a personal choice here.

And, yes you can create a MUI spell with locals and waits, for example check the spell in -BerZ- simple spellpack, its called Wound Poison.

Event responses are already MUI.(except casting unit)
