[Trigger] Very wierd problem plz help -.-

[klemen]

If I say in one word: It just looks stupid. Trigger is basicaly made for moving heroes in arena. It all works, just one easy part is messing around.

Bug: The first text is displayed but when "WAIT" action appears it doesn't want to show the second text.

Look at the image. It tells you a lot. Also, if you want an empty map with the trigger just say it, I will give you the link.

Plz help!

You can't use waits in unit/player group loops.

Ok, I will try to get them out of here.

Just make a unit group variable and set it to "Units in LOTR arena"; then Pick every unit in your created group and hide it, show your text messages as before (not in the pick unit loop, just following to it) and finally add a "Pick every unit in YourGroup and do Unhide (Picked unit)". This should have the effect you wanted to get.

I put them out of loop but still doesn't work...

What now?

What fires that trigger? (post the whole trigger, use

• tags)

 

[klemen]

problem solved.

It looks like wait actions can't be in loop action, but it can't be in IF-then-else either.

Thanks anyway.

 

[Waldbaer]

Normally, waits can be in if/then/else as often as you like to have them there, so there must be something else which kills the trigger.

 

[PurplePoot]

Waits are fine in if/then/else as well as loops, as well as unit groups. The problem with them being in unit groups is that it causes a wait before going to the next unit, not only within that unit's block. (aka if you have wait 1s in a unit group, instead of going (unit1... go to unit2 while waiting in unit1) it goes (unit1... wait... unit2... wait... unit3)

Indeed.

A way you could "solve this" would be by "faking" a loop. All you do is something like:
- as long as the unit group isn't empty do:
- Set Unit_Var = first of the unit group
- Unit - remove Unit_Var from the unit group
- Trigger - run this trigger
- Wait 1 second
- Do your actions with the unit

it's not going to be very easy to do this in GUI or make it mui though...
