What The...

[defskull]

Okay, I have a trigger that will add 4 INT per kill to the killing unit that has Ability X.
Everything works fine, except that at random times, the add value is not 4, it is 7.
Now I wanna know WHERE DOES THIS 7 COMES FROM ?

Here's a test map.

Instructions to test:
1. Learn the Ability (Soul Steal - Devotion Aura)
2. Kill units
3. Each time it kills the unit, the difference after add and before add is shown (if it is 4, it is good... but if it is 7, WHY?!)
4. Kill up to 10 units (the bug should occur at value 8th ~ 10th I think)
5. Max soul is 10.

• Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to SS_Group
• -->
• Unit Group - Add TempUnit to SS_Group

• t
• SS_SoulCollect Not equal to SS_SoulLimit
• -->
• SS_SoulCollect less than or Equal to SS_SoulLimit

• Set TempInteger2 = (Intelligence of TempUnit (Exclude bonuses))
• Set TempInteger3 = (TempInteger2 - TempInteger) //--> So far, TempInteger has no value. Hasn't been set.
• Set TempInteger = TempInteger2 //--> I see no use for this.

And, MOST IMPORTANT: The 7 comes from the unit leveling up, which adds by default in the Object Editor +3 Int per level +4 of the ability = 7. It goes from 20 to 24, but levels up, and goes to 27.

Okay... although this has nothing to do with the bugged value.

• t
• SS_SoulCollect Not equal to SS_SoulLimit
• -->
• SS_SoulCollect less than or Equal to SS_SoulLimit

I said everything works fine, the SoulLimit really limits it up to 10 kills.

• Set TempInteger2 = (Intelligence of TempUnit (Exclude bonuses))
• Set TempInteger3 = (TempInteger2 - TempInteger) //--> So far, TempInteger has no value. Hasn't been set.
• Set TempInteger = TempInteger2 //--> I see no use for this.

• Actions
  • Set TempUnit = (Triggering unit)
  • Set SS_SoulCollect = 0
  • Unit Group - Add TempUnit to SS_Group
  • Custom script: set udg_SS_Key = GetHandleId(udg_TempUnit)
  • Hashtable - Save SS_SoulCollect as 0 of SS_Key in SS_Hashtable
  • Set TempInteger = (Intelligence of TempUnit (Exclude bonuses))

Can't you see the action at the most below of that trigger.
That is to set the initial INT of that unit.

And this TempInteger(2)(3) does not have to do with the triggers at all.
It is part of the message showing, don't focus on that.

Just focus on how did the value rise to 7 from 4. Where did that 7 comes from ?

Let me quote myself:

Nah, I do not wish to embarrass anyone, it's just that I've had a great laugh Though, things like this happen to me as well, but I mostly solve my stuff myself, so nobody knows how messed up I am
