"Trigger - add the event" problem (GUI)

[mamoeb]

• Trigger - Add to DamageHeal <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

example

at begining trigger looks like this:
trigger
event
condition
action
<actions>

later

trigger
event
unit recieve damage
condition
action
<actions>
(runs 1 time)

later

trigger
event
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
unit recieve damage
condition
action
<actions>
(runs freaking many times)

and so on.

i need action that would clear trigger from those events.
for rep ofc

You can't in GUI.

In jass, you can either create triggers dynamically or use conditions instead of actions (conditions are clearables).
But if you don't jass, i fear that you'll have to find an other way to do what you want.

oh... it's sad.

thank u

Well you can prevent from adding the same unit over and over again to the event.
Just going to open WE. Just a sec =)

Here you have it =)

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) is in Eventgroup) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Add to Trigger 2 <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)
        • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to Eventgroup
      • Else - Actions

yeah, i tryed some thing like this
this prevent trigger to spam events with same unit

but main problem not gone. it s not 10, or 100 units in map, there is much more

and... 100+ events in one trigger, that runs on every attack... dunno, will it cause lag or not, but it sounds very... ugly.

anyway, it's does not matter, i already found a workaround
thank to ya, guys.

 

[tjordell]

Nope it wont cause lagg because it checks throught the list of the event until it finds the right one. It WILL cause lag after a while, or maybe bug/crash, because you add meaby like 20 events of the same unit. It may heal 20 times over or something if you use this for an heal stuff.

 

[GhostThruster]

I'm pretty sure you can have 2000 events and it won't lag, but I haven't tested it out.

 

[Berb]

You can destroy a trigger, that will clear it's actions; apparently this causes major bugs though.

 

[Bribe]

Yes, trigger destruction is terrible if you have any trigger actions assigned to it.

The most ingenious way to use dynamic triggers these days is to not create one single trigger/event per unit but a bunch of events on one trigger and destroy the trigger every so often and only re-add the events for units that are still alive

 

[mamoeb]

ok, but... how can i recreate trigger?

 

[Bribe]

Sorry, bad advice for a GUI user. That's JASS I'm talking about...
