[General] Started with LUA, simple trigger not running

[DoomBlade]

function OnMapStart()
local u = CreateUnit(Player(0), 'hfoo', 0, 0, 270)
BlzSetUnitName(u, "Footy")
end
function luainit()
TimerStart (CreateTimer(), 00, false, OnMapStart)
end

I just tried to create one unit on map start.
Here is the text I copied to the custom script.

And an I mage below of the Lua Script made with VS code.

Your timer is set to "00". Set it to 0.00.
Also, where are you calling luainit? luainit isn't going to run until you call it.

And you can copy and paste your lua code like so:

[*code=lua]
function OnMapStart()
local u = CreateUnit(Player(0), 'hfoo', 0, 0, 270)
BlzSetUnitName(u, "Footy")
end
function luainit()
TimerStart (CreateTimer(), 00, false, OnMapStart)
end
[*/code]

Remove the asterisks (*)

function OnMapStart()
local u = CreateUnit(Player(0), 'hfoo', 0, 0, 270)
BlzSetUnitName(u, "Footy")
end
function luainit()
TimerStart (CreateTimer(), 00, false, OnMapStart)
end

function OnMapStart()
local u = CreateUnit(Player(0), 'hfoo', 0, 0, 270)
BlzSetUnitName(u, "Footy")
end
function luainit()
TimerStart (CreateTimer(), 0.00, false, OnMapStart)
end

• Start
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: luainit()

So like this, but it's still not working.

Oh, you need to use the FourCC prefix before hfoo.

FourCC('hfoo')

Anytime you reference a Rawcode in Lua you need to use that prefix. So that goes for units, items, abilities, buffs, etc...

You don't need a timer either if its going to be instant. just call the function OnMapStart()

function OnMapStart()
local u = CreateUnit(Player(0), FourCC("hfoo"), 0, 0, 270)
BlzSetUnitName(u, "Footy")
end

• Start
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: OnMapStart()
