Using Temp_Variables

[GIMLI_2]

Hi,
Simple question.
If i use the same Temp_Variable like Temp_Point in more periodic event triggers, does that really work? It should, but I'm not sure.
thanks

I not quite sure what you ask but yes, you can use temp variables in periodic triggers.

As long as there's no waits, it's pretty much safe.

If you are talking about global variables, yes, they do work.

There is one issue when you use one temp variable for everything. If you trigger a different trigger with the code, and that modifies that temp variable, then things might mess up.

e.g:

• Set TempInteger = 5
• Unit - Order (triggering unit) to Stop
• Game - Display to (All Players) String(TempInteger) for 60.00 seconds

• Random Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit is issued an immediate order
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempInteger = 10

What do you think the first trigger will show? 5? Sadly no (AFAIK). It will show 10, because the unit is issued the "Stop" order, and then it runs the "Random Trigger", which changes the value of the global.
