• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Hint[1] = Press Alt to display stuff
  • Set Hint[2] = Run, when taking damage, for Christ's sake!
  • Set Hint[3] = Respect the environment, don't use Firebolt!

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Time - Every 60.00 seconds of game-time

Thanks alot =] i give REP to you ^_^


I cant give REP -.- I must spread some REP somewhere....I did it and I still cant

Tip: Do not use "Map Initilization".
This event can only be used ONCE in a map.

Why?
Simple. This event will be the first to trigger, if you have 2 of these events, one/more of the triggers wont trigger.

How can this be solved?
Use Time event and set it to "Eplased time equal to 0.00".

"Use Time event and set it to "Eplased time equal to 0.00".

That will also run once. It's no periodic, it's a specific timing in-game to run.
If you have two of these events, you can either merge the triggers into one.

 

[Super_Man]

Yes, but you can set the time to 0.01 for the next trigger, 0.02 etc etc...

Yes, but you can set the time to 0.01 for the next trigger, 0.02 etc etc...

Don't bother. Map Initialization triggers, I've heard, should all be merged. Personally, I merged all of my like-event triggers into one (one death trigger, one ability effect trigger, one unit gains level trigger, etc.).

The game does not crash/ignore triggers if you use the same event twice.

If you notice a lag, it's most likely because you're trying to do a lot of things in the same instant.

Super_Man I dont see his messages here -.- anyway I know how to make hints already ;D I found it in a map "The New World" 4.0 [unprotected] they allow you to change and use triggers ;D

Arrays start at [0]. Im begging you, never start from 1 again. D:

Is there any programming significance of that or are you just OCD like me?

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

The programming significance is that an array is merely a pointer to the start of your things. To get an individual element, it timeses the index you give it by the size of one element. Thus, if you have an integer, which uses (I think?) 4 bytes in WC3, to get the first element, index 0:

(place of pointer) + 0 * 4

index 1:

(place of pointer) + 1 * 4

And so on. That is why they start at 0, not 1. If they started at 1, the pointer would actually refer to a place (size of thing) units backwards. Which means when you try to get the address of something, you have to add or subtract and then everything turns into a mess.

But mostly OCD. Still, people seem to use 1 because they think things should start at 1 and that bothers me because they dont appear to know the math behind how an array works.
