Skip Remaining Actions, another question, and some other problem

[colinjames12]

Its probably not possible but is it possible to skip the remaining actions from another trigger?

Another question:

What's more efficient? Multiple triggers or just putting all the actions from those triggers into one and just add some conditions?

Here's the other problem:

I have this "tornado" that will move from the top to the bottom of the map periodically. I switched from using periodic events to just ordering the unit to move from point to point cause I think it's better. The problem is that it doesn't move and it just stays in one place.

I've already check if the unit can move and it can. I already checked if I have declared the variables, and I have. I hope you understand the triggers.

You can use if/then/else to skip actions.

 

[colinjames12]

No, I mean like skip the remaining actions of another trigger. Like I put skip remaining actions in this triggers but the actions that it is skipping are the actions of another trigger.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

You can not skip the remaining actions of another trigger - simply because there is no "another trigger" running at the same time. WC3 does only process one trigger at a time.
If there's a wait in a trigger, it halts execution until the time is over and all other triggers that have been running during that time are also executed/halted.

 

[colinjames12]

Ok T_T

Can you answer the other questions?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Multiple triggers is more efficient in your case.
But the difference is really negligible, so you might combine them for ease of reading.

 

[colinjames12]

You've seen my map, Zwiebelchen. I was thinking of combining all of these triggers of mine cause they all have the same purpose but just different entries and stuff.

But I'm afraid if I execute that one trigger, a huge lag spike might occur.

There are 21 of them so that would be 21 conditions.

That's fine. You won't notice any difference ingame.

 

[colinjames12]

Ok, how about the tornado problem? My last problem.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

I can't tell why it's not moving. It's something in your map. Maybe collision prevents it from moving or something else.

 

[colinjames12]

It has locust and it has 0 collision size. Argh, this is frustating when you have no idea what's causing the problem. I might switch to periodic events again.

 

[deathismyfriend]

U should use triggering unit instead of entering unit. U can also store the last created unit init a temp variable. Does the talon variable get overwritten at all?

 

[colinjames12]

No, there's only one talin, so there's no overwriting.

 

[deathismyfriend]

can u show the trigger that sets the unit to the talin variable then. there might be a problem in there. the other thing u can do is use an ITE and for condition do talin equal to no unit. in the then block display no unit. if that displays it means the variable is not getting set right.

 

[colinjames12]

I already showed the trigger, it's the first trigger above.

 

[deathismyfriend]

u never show the trigger that the unbit is stored in the talin variable...
Also y all of the copies of the triggers. U do know that it will bug up because of the waits with the multiple triggers. Waits are inaccurate so ur actual time isnt .03 its around .255 to .300

 

[colinjames12]

I'm not understanding your english again.

It's in the first trigger. Do you mean the unit variable "talin", or the talin point variables?
If you mean the point variables, they are already declared and I'm sure of it.

The wait here doesn't matter for me, whether they are accurate or not. And I already know they're not accurate but that doesn't matter for me, so don't worry about that.

 

[deathismyfriend]

ok and im tlking about when the unit variable is set.

 

[colinjames12]

Anybody?

This problem is killing me.

 

[deathismyfriend]

can u show this full trigger

[colinjames12]

No need to. That whole trigger works. All the portals appear. Though they disappear because their death animation is triggered.

And the trigger is super long.

You think I should just use a periodic event? I think this is better cause I wouldn't need a periodic event, but you know, if it doesn't work.

 

[deathismyfriend]

well not showing us is kinda hurting or ability to help.

Other than that delete all of the waits and see what happens.

 

[colinjames12]

Periodic events then. This thread is now to be closed.
