Region Variable Problem

[Kenohki]

I can't seem to select a non-constant region variable as part of the event(unit enters/exits region) for my trigger.

Upon map initialization I have regions being created by triggers, these regions are then stored in variables, but when I go to access them in the event field of another trigger they are not on the list. After fiddling around with it for awhile I tried checking the constant box on the region variables, this allowed them to be selected by the event, but of coarse then they were useless because the map init. triggers could not set the created regions to them.

I know that I can create the regions in the constant variables themselves, but that seems too restrictive, I would hope there is another way to make this work.
Any ideas?

You could use custom script to register events.

In example, do this:

    TriggerAddEventUnitRegion(gt_(Name Of your trigger without spaces), null, gv_Yourglobalvariable, true);

Custom scripting is a bit beyond my knowledge base at the moment, but I tried plugging that in and got a syntax error.

Not sure If I used it correctly, I created a new custom script in the left hand pane and put in my trigger and variable names as such:

TriggerAddEventUnitRegion(gt_(MapWrap_Northwall), null, gv_MapWrap_Northwall, true);

I took out the spaces as you said, the underscores are in the trigger and variable names.

As a side question, are there any good scripting tutorials I should check out?

Events when passed variables reference the object in the variable and not the variable thus there is no linking. Instead you will have to add the events to a trigger as part of another trigger. Try checking for such actions under the trigger cateorgry.

With script there should be no problem cause as long as the code is valid, it will axcept any objects.

The best scripting tutorials are any programming language ones. Once you have the hang of 2 programming languages learning scripting languages is easy.

Basically go to school and learn Java, or C++.
I know HTML ^.^ but that's about it. Jass sux imo.
