[Solved] Timer[array] doubt/issue

[streetpunk]

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask how can I start a timer[array] upon the expiring of another timer? being the array the number of a player I found it difficult to obtain that number. Do I need to use hashtables or something? if so hwo can I do that ?

Example:

• Trigger1
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Trigger3 <gen> the event (Time - Timer_X[(Integer A)] expires)

• Trigger2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set PlayerNumber = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • Set Real = 0.50
    • Countdown Timer - Start Timer_X[PlayerNumber] as a One-shot timer that will expire in Real seconds

• Trigger3
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set PlayerNumber = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • Set Real = 2.00
    • Countdown Timer - Start Timer_Y[PlayerNumber] as a One-shot timer that will expire in Real seconds

I'm having trouble to obtain the needed array number on Trigger3, can anyone please help ?

PS: I don't know if I did something wrong on Trigger1 (I'm not so sure how loops work).

All help is appreciated

Shouldn't Trigger 3 has the Event (Timer_X expires), cause you add it to Trigger 2 which somehow looks wrong.
Beaware that Timer Objects of an Timer-Array are not created automatacally if you did set the Array starting size to a to low number.

To takeover the Index hastables are good.

Here so your's would look like

• Trigger 1
  • Ereignisse
    • Map initialization
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Hashtabelle - Create a hashtable
    • Set Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Schleifen - Aktionen
        • Trigger - Add to Trigger 3 <gen> the event (Zeit - Timer_X[(Integer A)] expires)

• Trigger 2
  • Ereignisse
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Set PlayerNumber = (Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • Set Real = 0.50
    • Countdown-Timer - Start Timer_X[PlayerNumber] as a One-shot timer that will expire in Real seconds
    • Hashtabelle - Save PlayerNumber as 0 of (Key (Last started timer)) in Hashtable

• Trigger 3
  • Ereignisse
  • Bedingungen
  • Aktionen
    • Set PlayerNumber = (Load 0 of (Key (Expiring timer)) from Hashtable)
    • Set Real = 0.50
    • Countdown-Timer - Start Timer_Y[PlayerNumber] as a One-shot timer that will expire in Real seconds

PS: I Heared JNGP, that alternative Editor which i do not use therefore no idea if that changed, does not have this GetHandle Functions of GUI implemented.
If you use JNGP you need to use this Function

• Custom script: set udg_Key = GetHandleIdBJ(udg_Timer [udg_PlayerNumber])

• TimerExpired
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempInteger = 1
    • Custom script: loop
    • Custom script: exitwhen udg_tempInteger>12
    • Custom script: if GetExpiredTimer()==udg_Timer_X[udg_tempInteger] then
    • Custom script: exitwhen true
    • Custom script: endif
    • Set tempInteger = (tempInteger + 1)
    • Custom script: endloop
    • -------- -- now variable tempInteger is your number youre looking for --------
    • -------- ------------ --------

That did the trick, thanks everyone!
