Variable Assigned Units not Recognized

[Jupiterstorm]

Hello again,

I'm starting to have strange problems with my map. My older triggers are recognizing variable assigned units when the units set them off, but my new triggers don't seem to recognize these same units.

For Example:

• Exit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit leaves Region 058 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in (Units in Region 059 <gen>)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[1]) then do (Set Outside[1] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[2]) then do (Set Outside[2] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[3]) then do (Set Outside[3] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[4]) then do (Set Outside[4] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[5]) then do (Set Outside[5] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[6]) then do (Set Outside[6] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[7]) then do (Set Outside[7] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[8]) then do (Set Outside[8] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[9]) then do (Set Outside[9] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[10]) then do (Set Outside[10] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Triggering unit) Equal to Survivor[11]) then do (Set Outside[11] = True) else do (Do nothing)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Thing[1]

This is a new trigger that does not work. The casting unit is not recognized and the trigger does not fire. Any ideas why this is happening?

 

[Jupiterstorm]

Wow... it seems none of the triggers are working now. Even the old ones that worked before don't recognize the variable assigned unit. Ugh...

 

[Jupiterstorm]

Am I using too many globals, perhaps? This only seems to be happening with the triggers that use unit variables.

 

[GhostThruster]

You shouldn't use Waits when you're using globals, yes. For instance, if another unit casts that spell before 1.20 seconds, the first spell casted will destroy the effects prematurely. And replace Casting Unit with Triggering Unit.

 

[Jupiterstorm]

Yeah, with that spell its not too important. But the thing is on all my triggers that use unit assigned variables the units are not triggering them anymore. They used to work just fine.

 

[Jupiterstorm]

Ok, it seems that whenever i set a variable to a unit, that unit doesn't get assigned even though i told it to. This is happening on all my triggers that use set variable for a unit. They are not getting set anymore. Any ideas why this might be happening?

 

[Jupiterstorm]

Hmmm, apparently you cannot assign two variables to one unit ^^; Human error again :3

 

[Dr Super Good]

You can assign 2 variables to 1 unit.

It sounds like you are hitting the op limit for map initialization. When that happens, it results in many variables not being initialized correctly. The end result are triggers not working (no events attached etc), variables with no value (never set) and a whole lot of problems.

Only fixes are to use fewer triggers, less globals (avoid setting global array size as that is opperation heavy and usless for most types) or to switch to JASS where you can break your code down more efficently.

Furthermore, don't put the "Do Nothing" action because that action, does... NOTHING
Better to leave it as blank, performs better efficiency

When using multiple If\Then\Elses with a similar condition, you can put them in another's Else section like this:

• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Triggering unit) Equal to Thing[1]
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- actions --------
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Triggering unit) Equal to Thing[2]
        • Then - Actions
          • -------- actions --------
        • Else - Actions
          • -------- etc. etc. --------

why did you add this to the FIRST and the LAST trigger???...

• Special Effect - Destroy Burst_Effects[1]
• Special Effect - Destroy Burst_Effects[2]
• Special Effect - Destroy Burst_Effects[3]
• Special Effect - Destroy Burst_Effects[4]
• Special Effect - Destroy Burst_Effects[5]
• Special Effect - Destroy Burst_Effects[6]
• Special Effect - Destroy Burst_Effects[7]
