[JASS] scope does not work

[vnakira]

I don't know why, this trigger won't work:

scope HeroDone initializer Init

//****************************************************

private function act takes nothing returns nothing
call TimerDialogDisplay(udg_HeroPickTimerWin, false)
call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, "TIME OUT")
endfunction

//****************************************************

private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
call TriggerAddAction(t, function act)
call TriggerRegisterTimerExpireEventBJ(t, udg_HeroPickTimer)
endfunction

endscope



While this trigger runs normally:

function Hero takes nothing returns nothing
local unit u
local real X
local real Y
local integer i=0
call TimerDialogDisplay(udg_HeroPickTimerWin, false)
call DisplayTextToPlayer(Player(0), 0, 0, "TIME OUT")

set u = null
endfunction

//****************************************************

function InitTrig_HeroDone takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_HeroDone = CreateTrigger()
call TriggerRegisterTimerExpireEventBJ(gg_trg_HeroDone, udg_HeroPickTimer)
call TriggerAddAction(gg_trg_HeroDone, function Hero)
endfunction

It should work. Try renaming your functions and see if that solves the problem. (in case you accidentally have a function named "Init" or "act" that is not private to its scope)

The initializer probably fires before the timer is created unlike the normal one which is after. If so, this is due to how Vjass compiles initializers.

The timer event looks at the contense of the variable, and not the variable itself. As such if it contains no timer or a different timer, it will not work when you eventually start the timer.
