Very strange handle ID bug

My trigger's handleId is changed when it's fired and I retrieve the id

It is very strange.
What's even more strange is that all triggers created seem to have same handle id when I use GetHandleId(GetTriggeringTrigger())

Seems to be related with the post below
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/really-weird-trigger-handle-bug-187468/

JASS:
        private method onEn takes nothing returns boolean
            local thistype this = ...
            
            set .trg = CreateTrigger()
            set data[GetHandleId(.trg)] = this
                    
            call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetHandleId(.trg)))
                    
            call TriggerRegisterUnitInRange(.trg, .fx.dummy, 200, null)
            call TriggerAddCondition(.trg, Condition(function thistype.onEnter))
            
            return false
        endmethod
        
        private static method onEnter takes nothing returns boolean
            local thistype this = data[GetHandleId(GetTriggeringTrigger())]
            
            call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetHandleId(GetTriggeringTrigger()))) // ITS DIFFERENT
            
            return false
        endmethod

If you give us the rest of the code, we might be able to determine the problem.
According to my test:

JASS:
struct Demo extends array

    private static method action takes nothing returns nothing
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, 60, I2S(GetHandleId(GetTriggeringTrigger())))
    endmethod

    private static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
        call TriggerAddAction(t, function thistype.action)
        call DisplayTimedTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 0, 0, 60, I2S(GetHandleId(t)))
        call TriggerExecute(t)
        set t = null
    endmethod
    
endstruct

Nothing seems to be wrong.

Pro-tips:

  • Don't use CT32, use CTL. That way, this wouldn't run with 0 instances on it.
  • Using CTL instead of CT32 wouldn't require you to manage the Linked list, you would just need to call thistype.create() and that would return an allocated instance along with registering that instance to the list.

edit
Okay, a possible solution: Move onEnter above the loop. (top of the struct, under the globals.)
