Really weird problem...

[sonkan1]

Hi folks, well iv started on an old project and iv finished it up a bit, now to the problem. You see, wen i type a message containing -lets go (thats the start trigger that starts the game) and then wc3 just shuts down... hmmm, well here is the triggers

• start
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -lets go as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Run lvl1 <gen> (checking conditions)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

and

• lvl1
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Ghoul for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Region 000 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Attacking_forces[1] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 Ghoul for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Region 003 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Attacking_forces[2] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 Ghoul for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Region 002 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Attacking_forces[3] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Create 1 Ghoul for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Region 001 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Attacking_forces[4] = (Last created unit)
    • Unit Group - Add all units of (Units owned by Player 12 (Brown) of type Ghoul) to attacking_forces_unit_group[1]
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Player 12 (Brown)) and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack Hero)
    • Trigger - Run lvl 1 to 6 timer <gen> (checking conditions)

and..

• lvl 1 to 6 timer
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (attacking_forces_unit_group[1] is empty) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Add 1 to Player 1 (Red) Current lumber
        • Countdown Timer - Start Next_Level as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
        • Set Next_Level = (Last started timer)
        • Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Next_Level with title Next lvl in...
        • Set timer[1] = (Last created timer window)
        • Countdown Timer - Show timer[1]
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Trigger - Run lumber <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions
        • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)

well there it is.

Of course it will shut down ^^
when typing "-lets go" you´re adding some units to "attacking_forces_unit_group[1]" will will cause that your condition "(attacking_forces_unit_group[1] is empty) Equal to True" returns FALSE which means it will do the Else action which will repeat the whole trigger
This is a endless loop which begins at the moment "(attacking_forces_unit_group[1] is empty) Equal to True" becomes false
And because off this endleess loop warcraft shuts dowwn

Yes, to prevent this, I think you can change the action to:

Test Trigger
(Number of units in (attacking_forces_unit_group[1])) Equal to 4

Also, to prevent leaks, I think you would also want to do this as an action to destroy the group:

Custom Script: call RemoveLocation( udg_attacking_forces_unit_group[1] )

I hope this helps!

Custom Script: call RemoveLocation( udg_attacking_forces_unit_group[1]

I hope this helps!

udg_attacking_forces_unit_group[1] is a Unit Group I presumed? I doubt you can remove it with RemoveLocation?


Thanks for the help, (+rep for JonNny).

Sonkan1, may I use your trigger as an example of a crash/shut down? I'm gathering these kind of informations.

Oh! My bad! I meant this:

• Test Trigger
• Events:
• Conditions:
• Actions:
• Custom Script: call DestroyGroup( udg_attacking_forces_unit_group[1] )

Sorry for the confusions, thanx Rui for catching that!
