Timer failing to fire

[pOke]

Some backstory: I was having an issue with my libraries needing to reference each other.

Players select a scenario, a round starts, a round ends, Players select a scenario...etc

I was told about saving a code variable at initialization would allow this back and forth to be possible, and it is. However, I was recently changing some other things around and it ended up breaking.

The function StartRoundTimer does not fire at all, and I cannot seem to figure out the cause. Just in case I am unclear, view a basic example below.

Edit: If I change out the function to one within the library, or to one within a library that is required it will also work, but it seems to crash the thread for the one I am trying to access as no debug message display after the attempt to start the timer.

       // Removed non pertinent code/vars that are currently commented.
library Winner requires Scenarios
            globals
         
        private constant timer t = CreateTimer()
        private timerdialog td = null
        private constant string TIMER_TITLE = "Round Ends..."
        code CODE_StartRoundTimer
         
            endglobals

    function StartRoundTimer takes nothing returns nothing
        call TimerStart(t, minutesPerRound, false, function RoundEnd1)
        if td == null then
            set td = CreateTimerDialog(t)
        endif
        call TimerDialogDisplay(td, true)
        call TimerDialogSetTitle(td, TIMER_TITLE)
    endfunction 

 
     private function init takes nothing returns nothing
        set CODE_StartRoundTimer = function StartRoundTimer
    endfunction

endlibrary

       // Removed non pertinent code/vars that are currently commented.
library Scenarios
           globals
        timer ROUND_TIMER = CreateTimer()
           endglobals



    function StartScenario takes nothing returns nothing


        call TimerStart(ROUND_TIMER, ZERO, false, CODE_StartRoundTimer) // this should/does allow us to call StartRoundTimer in Winner despite Winner requiring Scenarios.

    endfunction

endlibrary

example

library Other initializer init
    globals
 
    private timer t = CreateTimer()
 
    endglobals


function ForthAndBack takes nothing returns nothing
    call TimerStart(t, 0., false, codedTimer)


endfunction

function init takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerChatEvent( t, Player(0), "test", true )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function ForthAndBack )
    set t = null
endfunction

endlibrary

library Back initializer init requires Other

    globals
 
 
    private timer t = CreateTimer()
    code codedTimer
 
    endglobals


function myFunction takes nothing returns nothing
    call BJDebugMsg("Hello World")
endfunction


private function init takes nothing returns nothing
    set codedTimer = function myFunction

endfunction


endlibrary

Looks like you missed an initializer declaration in your Winner library. That could explain why the function does not work.

That is exactly what it was, when I shuffled things around I forgot to put the initializer back in...
Thanks a lot, wasted many hours over something so simple. +Rep
