[Trigger] the triggers of my map are messed up.

[oxxo]

they fire totally random.

i had actions not firing for absolutely no reason. i somehow managed to get them to fire by splitting triggers into several triggers with exactly the same conditions, now theres other actions that just won't fire.

what the * is this shit?!

i mean where the * is the point in mapping, if you spend shitloads of time into developing a map and then the * triggers do what the * they want. what the * blizzard...

 

[Rmx]

Ya ur * right WE Should make a group called * hehehee

Try to see if there is conditions that don't match each other or use the if-then-else and make conditions that are unique and shouldn't fire until something unique ( meant by unique like entering region casting abilitie X ) happens.............

* hehehehe +rep

 

[oxxo]

its so * annoying i really want to punch somebody, whom it would be ok to blame, in the face. so badly.

the trigger has no condition.

its totally * random. some actions fire, some don't.

sometimes these actions fire, and others don't.

then i DO ABSOLUTELY * NOTHING, test the map again and

other actions fire, and these actions don't.

it really is * ridiculous.

and it nullifies the amount of work spent into the map so far.
wich is a * LOT OF FUCKING HOURS * ARGH

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Post the trigger please.

 

[Dr Super Good]

All this fucking is getting fucking on my nerves so it fucking stops fucking now fucking.

So please calm yourselves.

The logical cause for your problem is you not triggering your map in a way which works. You may think it works but it does not as far as WC3 is concerned. GUI is especially prone to that as it is known to do stupid and unexpected things. I would advise retriggering your map in JASS so you have full controle over how the triggers are made so you can make them do exactly what you want.

now that i finally have your attention overexpressing my frustration,

first, the loop triggers that add X to every player (from 1 to 10) lumber didnt work.

now those actions work, but the "display game message" actions and the

Player - Set Player 11 (Dark Green) Current gold to 0
Player - Set Player 12 (Brown) Current gold to 0

dont work.





help me jesus!

Every heard of: Time - Every 300.00 seconds of game time?

Now you have.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Probably due to a thread crash due to division by 0. Make sure that the division opperations return the correct values.

yes i have. i dont thrust periodic events unless the interval is below 20 seconds, i think they are inaccurate.

Probably due to a thread crash due to division by 0. Make sure that the division opperations return the correct values.

thanks alot! that actually sounds likely to be the problem. gonna check for that.

curses... im afraid that was not the problem.

guys! i fixed it! the problem was in a series of other triggers, that set the playergroups to whom the texts where displayed and actions performed for incorrectly!

i have regained my faith in we ;D

thanks tough everyone for the inputs!

 

[Dr Super Good]

The perodic events are 100% accurate, or near enough. The same goes for timers.
I believe they both use game time except one is more generic than the other.
